I don't know why everyone hates the Bengals jerseys. If it wasn't for the ugly white panel, they would be the coolest jersey in football. As for the Cardinals, I am a fan of the team and love the new unis (the white on white looks best). Their is nothing wrong with the Jazz uni and the new Ducks unis, like Paul mentioned, could have gone the route of the Oregon Ducks (done by Nike) and looked a whole lot worse.

BTW, 王＝king,天＝heaven,上＝up or above... so it's a pretty registered name Ortenzio would be pronounced “oh-ten-jio” in Japan and it so happens that 王天上 could be read as such.
