For those who say that FSU is disrespecting the proud Seminole tribe…

Brian, the BP jersey is the one that’s too dark and doesn’t match up well; the alternate game jersey looks fine. I wonder if it has something to do with that new fabric that many practice jerseys now have.

Aren’t the BP hats in the same darker shade as the BP jerseys?

I just hope they don’t put names on the BP jerseys next season like they’re planning to do with the home and alternate shirts. Leave us number-only buffs with something!

Just to chime in on the Mets black/blue debate, the ’90’s were a time where everything in sports fashion, no matter how time-honored, was challenged. A few posts back, you saw somone comment about the Isles’ fishsticks jerseys, which are an excellent example. So to say just because they’ve been wearing them since ‘98 they should stay with them, I don’t feel is valid reason. As a Mets fan, I’m not so much riled up by the black jerseys at home or on the road if they were used occasionally, but what really irkes me is the black shadowing on the grey roads, pinstripes and snow whites and black hats with the blue brim. It just takes a classic look and puts a dumb spin on it that’s not needed. Part of the allure of a franchine is that when you see today’s stars in the same uniforms as the legends of your team’s past, it creates a great feeling of connection. Well, Reyes and Wright don’t even wear the same unis that Seaver got to wear because of that ridiculous shadowing. It’s very cheap.

Oh, and one other blue point that drives me NUTS. I don’t know if anyone has ever touched on this, but does anyone else realize that when the Cubbies wear their blue alternates that their blue hats aren’t the same shade of blue? And a few years back, when they changed their BP jerseys and caps to navy from royal, it creates a horrible look if a player wears a game hat with a BP jersey, which happens a lot during the season. It irkes me. Just sayin’

And you live in Manhattan (or is it Broolyn) which the native Americans sold for $24. Me thinkst the pot is calling the swoosh black here. Don’t over-ingraciate yourself on you political correctness by black balling Nike. Sure the uni sucks OK. Got it.

Does anyone else think the reason FSU is wearing all black uni’s is because they don’t want the game vs. BC to look like a Seminole scrimmage. The two teams’ colors are very similar, wearing all black is a way to realy seperate the teams.

If you can find a picture from last year’s game, you’ll see what I mean.

Sports Illustrated, in their latest issue, showed a magnificent photo collage of an All Time Major League baseball team and in the collage, Mike Schmidt’s batting helmet doesn’t have a Phillies logo on it. Was this a trademark of his? Just wondered why his helmet would be blank.

as a Browns and Buckeye fan, I revel in calling the Steelers and Wolverines color yellow! In fact, our radio broadcaster for the Browns often calls the Steelers colors black and yellow!

I’ve noticed this too, and i love it, as i too am a fan of both the Bucks and the Browns. then again, most people around here still call scUM’s colors Yellow and Blow!
BTW where u at Chuck, we need to get togeather and watch some games.

Our town’s colorful history (or where did we find that black and gold?)

I loved reading this artical and seeing that armPITT is happy to have “industries of the city bringing in golden streams” for my personal feelings to that town, that is awesome. but hey, look at Findley’s uni’s here, i got to play against that guy my Sr. year of high school, so i guess i have a small soft spot

Poor, poor A-Rod. I think he’s learning that money cannot buy happiness, though it can buy some nice threads.

Pretty Boy.

Jon in SLC (where is that anyway?), you are too funny. We have the late-night comedians in the house.

I was gonna give you some smart ass link but I couldn’t find anything. SLC = Salt Lake City.

I was trying to think of something racy, but not too racy to link in return, but it’s late here. The Twins have lost, and I’m in the doldrums, so Salt Lake City it is.
