The New York Mets have a new AAA team: the New Orleans Zephyrs. Some of these photos may be outdated, but if nothing else, this will provide a brief uni-history for them. Here's one uni. Here's a nice shot of that ugly pant stripe. This is one of their logos. This would be another one. This is their alternate cap. Alternate uni top (from 2003 at least). Home whites for 2007? Is this the game helmet? And a t-shirt for BP? Yikes. This is them with white hats, but I couldn't confirm that they wore them during the game. That's about all I'm willing to look up now.

Maybe Team USA lost because they knew they couldn’t pull-off the celebratory pink blazers?

Maybe the Americans should forget any semblance of a team concept, as it seems completely foreign to them. They might play better if they’re told they don’t need to win, just finish in the top 20 for a big payday.

Any way you cut it, the Europeans are a gutsy bunch who rise to the occasion. They made a ridiculous amount of chip-ins and long putts. In the first two days, it seemed every time a Euro made a bad shot, a teammate was there to pick him up.

As far as unis, I’d say the Americans won the fashion battle by a margin smaller than the actual result. The Euros played well enough to make any shirt/vest combo look good.

Is it just me or do the NFL refs stripes look brown? Not all of them, just a select few. It seems like the color has faded. Maybe its just me and my subpar television set.

How can you like the euros rain jackets, Yellow shoulder stripes with blue underarm gussets? I thought we hated that here at Uniwatch?

the Minnesota Vikings new eye swimming unis remind me of grape “bomb pop” Popsicles and Turkish Taffy candy of my youth!

Interesting find today Paul and Ek. I was scrolling down on this page, only to find that the bottom bar (where the copyright information in located) of this website is very much black. I agree with and appreciate your campaign against the black, and the changes should start right here.

Sunday update is now up. Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to read this long post.

Which brings me to another point. All these ‘uniform’ changes for the morning and afternoon and day by day are a little out of hand. Maybe if the USA wasn’t so concerned about multiple costume changes they would have more time to play golf and stop getting their butts whooped

Actually, the Europeans changed more often than the U.S. did, but I get what you’re saying.

Great post. However, I have to disagree with you on the European’s saturday rain jackets. I think they look ridiculous with the multiple colors and the strange under arm design. The USA’s certainly are plain, but I find them more appropriate for golf.

Nice job on this post, John. I think you need a few more visual demonstrations of the W and G uniforms, though.

Also, Penn State’s running back had major pants rippage in the hip area during the fourth quarter of yesterday’s game. They pointed it out on ABC. Does anybody have any pictures/screen shots?
