Great story from Uke. I wonder in which years these Cubs-Dodgers trades took place.

I remember the late Don Drysdale(during times that he did broadcasting on Angels games in the 1970’s and Dodger games the final 5 five years he was alive), mention these stories. Drysdale himself said that he provided some of the strtchier stirrups himself. The Dodgers used a stretchy material in the 1960’s, while the Cubs used the old wool ones. So this was mainly done in the 1960’s.

ESPN2 is showing a high school football game, featuring Jimmy Clausen, some big QB recruit who’s going to Notre Dame, apparently. Some pertinent Uni Watch comments:

Oaks Christian has awful-looking Denver Broncos-like maroon side panels, that taper up from the armpit to the neckline. They have a nifty little OC logo in the bottom of the neck V.

Venice, the home team, has a uniform that reminds me of Penn State. Similar colors, except they are wearing blue pants, creating the monochromatic look. Nothing ugly, though.

I cannot find the brand name for Venice’s unis, but Oaks has an “R” on the right shoulder. (Russell, I think? They make my school’s uniforms also) And, Nike has swooshified the game. There are big black signs on the sideline with the swoosh, placed at the 5 yeard lines, and in the endzone. And when ESPN introduced the starting lineups, there was a big swoosh over ESPN’s regular graphics. And, of course, the full Briscoe High commercial is on right now.

Tune in on ESPN2 to see what I’m talking about.

Jimmy Clausen’s not “some big QB recruit”. He’s been touted as the next big thing as a QB for the last couple of years, and has had 2 brothers play college ball (remember Casey Clausen at Tennessee?). ESPN’s big fascination with the broadcasting of high school athletics is only limited to the top athletes and their teams – like Lebron when he was in high school, and all of these football games featuring the top seniors who are going to major collegiate programs.

And did anyone see Jimmy’s headband during the game?

Clausen looked like “Johnny” from Karate Kid.

Put ‘em in a body bag!

Cobra Kai

Tommy Tuberville looks like a clown with his long sleeve orange shirt, his short sleeve orange polo, and his navy blue vest. Way too much going on…

there will be no trash talking of the Riverboat Gambler on this message board. FIVE AND O!!!

with that siad, i do lament that under armour has taken auburn’s tradition “burnt orange” and made it something closer to neon orange. it’s much more noticeable on the white jerseys, b/c there’s less navy blue to balance it out.

I’m surprised at Kappa… two/three years ago, their body fit shirts just featured their logo (two ppl sitting back to back) on the right side of the chest and on each arm(shoulder height). These logos were smallish (circumference 50 cent coin)and not too flashy. In the past year or two, they have replaced the chest logo w/ a ‘Kappa’ logo and the arm/shoulder logos have been doubled (at least) in size…. in my opinion it hurts the look of the shirt. Before anyone wonders why it matters so much to me, my Blackburn Rovers were outfitted by Kappa during the 2001-04 seasons and so I remember the tasteful shirts and when I see Werder Bremen I wonder where it has all gone wrong. Admittedly, it’s relative, because if you wish to see huge logos all over a soccer jersey check out Lotto’s jerseys, especially in Latin American teams vs. european teams… the Latin teams’ jerseys have a good half dozen huge logos throughout the shirts. hideous.

I very much agree that the huge Kappa logos all over the Bremen unis are a bit much and detract from a very nice Green and White halved shirt. Too bad.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!
How are thy leaves so verdant!

Ugh!

And as previously mentioned, Tommy Tuberville was rocking some pretty crazy sleeves himself.

While I appreciate Under Armour keeping the unis basic, I wish their accesories followed suit.

Maybe somebody has mentioned it already and I just missed it, but TCU is playing BYU right now and TCU is wearing the purple jerseys with the black pants. I’ll link a pic if I find one.

Yeah, unfortunately I was at that game. TCU’s normal home uniform is the purple jersey and black pants. I think at one point they wore a black jersey but that has been awhile if they did. The road uni is white jersey and purple pants.

Check out http://www.gofrogs.c... for a photo of Jeff Ballard NOT completing a pass while wearing the purple-and-black combo.
