		<description>re: #10--MLB is not as strict as the NFL and NBA when it comes to names on the back (after all, they allow Ichiro Suzuki to have &quot;Ichiro&quot; on his jersey).  Both Whites could just have &quot;White&quot; on the back if they wanted to.</description>

		<description>Great to see some Cleveland Force talk on here...I love those yellow jerseys. I thought it was pretty sweet a few years ago when the Crunch went back to the old Force nickname/colors...not that I ever watch indoor soccer now. I did when I was a kid, though...(in the 80&#039;s)</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;6714&quot;]Oh, is that Man U.? I thought it was Charlton Athletic.

Something about that red and white looks cheaper than the colors they&#039;ve used in the past. Maybe it&#039;s the material. Maybe it&#039;s the big white box logo.

Or maybe it&#039;s Malcolm Glazer.[/quote]

I like the red tops and white shorts (looks very team England-esque, kinda cool), but I agree that the AIG looks kinda lame.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;6700&quot;][quote comment=&quot;6699&quot;][quote comment=&quot;6698&quot;]Also on the Fox broadcast of the Yankees/Angels game, the announcers mentioned that a few years ago the Yankees were thinking about ditching the road greys and going with navy shirts with white pinstripes. Anyone heard of this? Any prototypes out there?[/quote]
Yes, that was true.  They were going to do the reverse of the home pinstripes for the road.  Thankfully, it was shot down.[/quote]
As a Yankees fan I am glad that I never even heard of something like this, it would have been terible, the road grays are as important as the home pinstripes and shouldn&#039;t be messed with.

That is such a horrible jersey idea that you can&#039;t even Buy them&lt;/a&gt;[/quote]

First, that wasnt a few years ago that was like 30 years ago when all the teams used to wear blue powder uniforms. The uniform was supposed to be completely blue with white pinstripes</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oursportscentral.com/misl/images/clevkc.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Cleveland Force yellow kit
&lt;/a&gt;

For xmas one year I got the Blue Force jersey, which was much more understated than the yellow. I have to admit though, I like the yellow Force kits.  I think the bigger embarassment was the guy in the Darth Vader costume that had an adding machine on his chest to mimic DVs control panel.</description>

What exactly is going on with the gay pride uniform the other team is wearing?[/quote]

Forget about the uniforms.... what is going on with that BALL?[/quote]

Taken from the late 70s-early 80s Major Indoor Soccer League, which played with an orange ball.  Since teams were playing on hockey rinks with white boards surrounding the field, they thought an orange ball would help fans see it better (plus, it was the late 70s-early 80s).  You&#039;ll see a yellow or orange ball outdoors a lot when a game is in the snow, or during months without much daylight.  The EPL uses a yellow ball in Dec, Jan and Feb.

Guessing from the link name, the opponent in the blue was the Kansas City Comets.  That diagonal tail thingie is supposed to be a comet&#039;s tail, I guess.</description>
