Seriously, does anyone here buy those Championship gears?

Uh, uh….oh boy….the one-armed bandit:

Hmmm, the foto doesn’t come up….
The only people who buy that junk is newb fans who wanna prove the loyalty but it’s outdated in 6 months so why bother???

Looked at the front page of the Boston globe this morning (here) and what did I see?
I don’t think Williams can call itself an elite institution anymore.

Anyone else think Michigan’s pants seemed incredibly bright last night?
#6 by Pete on 10.15.06 8:56 am |
I was wondering about the origins of the Tigers wearing two different hats. Does anyone know how long they have been wearing the orange on the road and the white at home? And does everyone agree that the white D looks wonderful and the orange D is garish (especially with the orange button)?

In light of the conversation about hockey jerseys acting as bulls-eyes, I noticed at the Penguins game last night that Jocelyn Thibeault appears to have the same thing on his pads (no pic, sorry). Wouldn’t that lead to more 5-hole goals? Or more pad saves on shots? Who knows….

Both Amherst College and Williams College, two elite institutions that have been football rivals for a century plus, wear purple from head to toe.
#9 by Richard from MA on 10.15.06 10:03 am |
My father went to Williams, and I’ve worked in the town of Amherst for years, so I’m aware of the purple. Basically, what I’m complaining about in the Williams uniform is the weird yellow piping/striping, the shade of purple, and the matching-jersey-and-pants.
Amherst looks decent. despite the purple. (And you’ll notice the Eph on the ground at least has contrasting jersey/pants.)
In 1998, they were monochrome. but they weren’t quite so hideous, and the piping/striping wasn’t there.
Anyway, it. was just a startling thing to see at 7:15 on a Sunday morning.
#10 by Rusty on 10.15.06 10:18 am |
Did anyone hear the ABC broadcasters compliment UM and PSU for having classic college football uniforms? I personally liked the reference to Cal vs Oregon as a matchup last week of “softball” teams because of the uni’s. Nice work ABC!
#11 by Eric G. on 10.15.06 10:27 am |
Speaking of Oregon, they kept the tight silver letters on their nameplates, which no one can read still. Why even put the names there?
Also, I pointed this out to my friend, the Mets lost because they wore the black road unis yesterday.
Bring out the grey today!
#12 by Nolan on 10.15.06 10:41 am |
OK, I asked this late last night, but.
Can anyone up north say if the weather will be cold enough for the refs to debut the slacks.
#13 by Jay on 10.15.06 10:46 am |
Regarding the Championship gear, I have only bought two Champion items in my life…one was a 1993 Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup Champs T-shirt (purchased AFTER the Cup was won), and a 2004 St Louis Cardinals National League Champs t-shirt (purchased BEFORE the World Series against Boston)…we won’t be making THAT mistake twice…
#14 by Teebz on 10.15.06 10:51 am |
Some made mention of the Barney Rubble Hairpieces’ alternate jersey yesterday, so I’ll take a stab.
The Barney Rubble Hairpieces’ followed the same template they are using on their new jerseys. Why? This alternate is a throwback. It has the proper bottom striping. Why have the jersey number on the right shoulder/chest area? If it weren’t for that minor miscue, those would have been the next jersey in my collection despite my hatred of all things in the NHL that are Reebok. Now, it has been shamed, much like the game is being shamed by Reebok’s jersey antics.
Here’s a look at the jersey worn by Chris Drury last night. Click me!
As for the Jocelyn Thibault target-on-his-pads thing, there has always been a target there. The guy can’t stop a beach ball. It’s almost a guaranteed goal whenever you shoot the puck directly at Thibault.
Being a Penguins fan is a double-edged sword. ;o)
#15 by Plasters on 10.15.06 11:10 am |
Don’t know if anyone else saw it but on the 11pm-12am sportscdnter before college football final Scott Van Pelt said “the sabres have truly horendous jerseys but they’re wearing the classic throw backs in this highlight and they look damn good, and won”
or something along those lines.
#16 by barney on 10.15.06 11:13 am |
I don’t like the orange “D” on their away hats and don’t think they need any orange in those unis. I like their old away unis.
#17 by Leroy on 10.15.06 11:32 am |
The Tigers have an orange ‘D’ road hat almost continuously since 1972 and at a number of earlier points as well. The only exception was 1995-1997 when they had the hat with the tiger crawling through a white ‘D’.
#18 by Leroy on 10.15.06 11:35 am |
On the subject of the Tigers, has anyone seen a photo of either the 1927 or 1928 Tigers jerseys? The Okkonen drawings don’t seem to do them justice and I’d love to see how they actually looked.
1927
1928
#19 by Leroy on 10.15.06 11:44 am |
Well I’ve answered one of my requests, although obviously the picture kinda sucks. Wild-looking jersey.
#20 by AJ on 10.15.06 11:44 am |
The Kansas State men’s basketball team unveiled new uniforms at their Midnight Madness event on Friday night. Check them out here . They have all of Paul’s favorite things - purple, the Nike collarbone stripe, and they added a black alt, even though black isn’t a school color (the article says it was added because new coach Huggins likes black).
#21 by Forrest on 10.15.06 12:02 pm |
Quickly, ferret this away somewhere so Paul will never see. He might develop an anyurism or something…
#22 by Jeff F. on 10.15.06 12:04 pm |
Are the K-State uniforms designed to be worn un-tucked? None of those guys have their jerseys tucked in. If so, it’s a trend that needs to be squashed before it starts.
#23 by Andrew on 10.15.06 12:09 pm |
But why would a Bob Huggins-coached team display such an obvious symbol of discipline?
#24 by Kyle on 10.15.06 12:15 pm |
You know, I never did like Bob Huggins, and now I hate him more. How can a coach with so much history stand for such and ugly jersey? What the heck are those goofy stripes up the sides supposed to be? And you can’t make a school change its colors just because your old school happened to use black as a color.
I love going to a school with such ridiculously conservative alumni (Indiana). Sure they suck at cheering at games (most 70 year-old alumni do), but they’d never stand for the destruction of a simple, beautiful jersey.
#25 by grb on 10.15.06 12:20 pm |
To my knowledge, the Tigers are the only team with two different batting practice caps. The home BP cap features a white “d,” while the road BP cap features an orange “d.”

So what have been the North American equivilents of Bayern Munich wearing ‘Champions of Europe’ caps on the bench with five minutes to go in the 1999 European Cup final, only for Man United to score two in the dying seconds?

#29 by Brian from Short Island on 10.15.06 12:43 pm |
The Islanders broadcast showed a video of Mike Bossy scoring on the Canucks in the ‘82 Cup Finals, and the announcer noted “no, those aren’t pajamas, those are Canucks uniforms.”
:-D
#30 by Taylor on 10.15.06 1:07 pm |
The new K-State unis don’t bother me. It’s not like K-State has any basketball tradition or anything. The jerseys are ugly, sure, but it’s K-State, what difference does it make? Now if it was Indiana or UCLA that’d be different.
#31 by Taylor on 10.15.06 1:09 pm |
Random question: Has anybody seen what George Mason’s basketball uniforms are going to be this year?
#32 by The Original Lee on 10.15.06 1:13 pm |
as ugly as the black kstate uniform is. i think we can all agree that it is superior to their normal purple one. but thats really not saying much
#33 by Brinke Guthrie on 10.15.06 1:13 pm |
cool pullover The Tuna is wearing in Dallas. Ah for the days when I would get a TON of free Cowboys stuff from contacts at Apex and then Nike. So much stuff you cannot believe.
#34 by Anthony on 10.15.06 1:33 pm |
at least the pullover hides his man-boobs
#35 by Jeff P. on 10.15.06 1:36 pm |
Now normally, I don’t mind the “new school” jerseys (read: Nike jerseys). I realize that my generation (I’m 22) is partly responsible for the recent trend in uniform modifications, but these K-State uni’s are HORRENDOUS!
In my best Stephen A. Smith voice: Those jerseys are..TERRIBLE!
Ohio states aren’t the greatest either, but I can handle those. What I can’t handle are the ugly Wildcat claw marks on the sides of the K-State jersey and shorts, or the useless scarlet stripe on the back of Ohio State’s jersey.
I like the Jordan brand jerseys Bob Huggins brought in at Cincinnati though. My high school even tried to copy that style for their men’s away jerseys.
#36 by Kyle on 10.15.06 1:56 pm |
I hope those pants are never worn. Maybe the refs will boycott them once they figure out they look bad.
long live the knickers
#37 by Shane on 10.15.06 1:58 pm |
Because of the historical aspect, yes. I bought AL Champions and World Series Champions t-shirts when my boys in Boston won the World Series in ‘04.
A few years back, Bayern won some FIFA competition. They were then beaten by lowly FC St. Pauli. St. Pauli to this day still sells shirts that say “World Championship winners beaters” in German.
#38 by Kyle on 10.15.06 2:00 pm |
How long are those shorts? At what point do “shorts” become pants?
Its getting nuts
#39 by Kyle on 10.15.06 2:05 pm |
Sorry for the multiple Posts but upon seeing the K-state uniforms I just wanted to see more of them. What can I say, I’m a glutten for pain
I mean doesn’t this just screamClass
#40 by Forrest on 10.15.06 2:08 pm |
Is something wrong with the Saint’s uniforms today? They look way too gold on some players, and where did those collars come from? Are these alternates? Am I going crazy?
#41 by Elliott on 10.15.06 2:22 pm |
I asked this late last night…
At the Chicago Wolves (Minor League Hockey…AHL) game tonight against the Milwaukee Admirals, I think I saw the old Brewers’ MB Blue and Yellow mitt logo as a patch on the Admirals jerseys. I was in the upper deck, so I’m not positive, but can anyone find photos and/or an explanation?
#42 by Seth H on 10.15.06 2:29 pm |
Paul covered the Admirals/Brewers patch in a column last year. As I recall, the Brewers are a sponsor.
#43 by Anthony the Rutgers Fan on 10.15.06 2:40 pm |
yup… at least, that was Paul’s explanation last season
#44 by Austin Gray on 10.15.06 2:46 pm |
Wow. I have nothing good to say about the new KState uniforms. I mean, I don’t hate the use of purple as much as some people, and I think a university has a right to have purple as its color. But to arbitrarily add a black alternate and black accents to the purple? And the shoulder stripes? And a ridiculous pattern down the sides? Shorts that go WELL below the knee? Odd, unarched typography? All of this is still somehow fitting for a coach as classless as Bob Huggins. I hope they either a.) tank or b.) he has such a great season that a marquee program picks him up and KState is, once again, left among the dregs of major conference basketball programs.
#45 by Mike Miller on 10.15.06 2:47 pm |
Titans are going with the navy jersey-navy pants look in Washington today. Monochrome is bad, but it’s even worse when the team has a white helmet. Looks like a pop warner team.
#46 by Elliott on 10.15.06 2:53 pm |
Guess that makes sense…but then, why the old logo?
#47 by Jim on 10.15.06 2:58 pm |
As a “Best Man” gift at a wedding a couple weeks ago, I was given a copy of “Cubs Journal” from my friend Joe who knows I’m a Cub fan, but does not know of my obsessive love of Unis … anyway … as I’m reading through this book, I’m finding dozens of quality Uni pictures from as long ago as 1880. I don’t know how many MLB teams have these books out right now (though I live in St. Louis now, and I know the Deadbirds have their own version now for sale). A must read for fans of Paul Lukas!
#48 by Brinke Guthrie on 10.15.06 3:42 pm |
guy on the Texans wearing Adidas..I guess OK to wear those now? Due to Reebok link? I read Bush got a pass to wear them but have never read why.
#49 by Anthony the Rutgers Fan on 10.15.06 4:05 pm |
I never understood this situation. Adidas bought out Reebok way before the NFL season and the Reggie Bush situation started. So the NFL was basically fining Bush for wearing Adidas equipment which violated the deal the NFL has with the Adidas owned Reebok. Then you find out that Adidas was paying the fines for Bush. Really silly situation.
#50 by Jeff on 10.15.06 4:06 pm |
The Reebok logo on David Carr’s right shoulder overlaps the red shoulder stripe and looks kind of weird.
Can’t find any good pictures yet but I’ll be on the lookout
#51 by Josh W. on 10.15.06 4:07 pm |
Noooooooo… as stated above the Titans ate wearing all navy. I knew it was gonna happen sometime, but why on a week where they look like they might win. Now this look may stay. Its a win/lose situation. Looks like my boys may win for the first time all year, but in those unis… i’m torn.

I don’t know why no one on this site ever talks about how modern, yet classic the 49ers look every week in their red and gold matched with white and gold on the road are both great color schemes
#55 by BrotherB on 10.15.06 4:47 pm |
Not sure if this link has been posted before but FSU is auctioning off one of the “Black Out” uniforms from the upcoming BC game.
#56 by Doug on 10.15.06 4:48 pm |
i’d prefer no black outline on the numbers, but the niners do have one of the nicest uniforms in the league. i also really like the chargers navy uniforms and think they’re over shadowed by the baby blue ones.
#57 by Tape on 10.15.06 4:50 pm |
I used to hate the addition of black and the drop-shadow look on the numbers when. I always loved the Joe Montana-era look of the gold pants/helmet with red/white/red stripes.
but I have to say, it grew on me. and I agree, they “modernized”/updaed the look ever so slightly without destroying the look. they’re still red and gold, and red and gold is sharp.
#58 by Paul Lukas on 10.15.06 4:52 pm |
Agreed — and not just because I’m a Niners fan. The problem is that they’ve got too many of those “SF” logos. The one on the sleeves or the one on the hips needs to go. Or maybe both. It’s overkill. Great color scheme, though.
#59 by mnhockeyfan on 10.15.06 4:54 pm |
Disclaimer: I am internet illiterat when it comes links and this kind of stuff, it appears to be one link, but if you click on New Balance you will see that picture, and if you click on the Reebok logo you will see that picture. Sorry.
I was down on the field after my school’s (St. John’s University) football game yesterday. I noticed that ther jerseys had a patch with the New Balance logo sewn on. New Balance Logo. The old Reebok logo is shown here on last years pants.

Uggh. The refs for the KC-PIT game are wearing long sleeves. If you thought the amount of black on the short sleeves was bad…

Sign that the Apocalypse may not yet be upon us:
Jets once again in white pants with green jerseys. No green pants sightings 6 games into the season. Keep hope alive…
On the other hand…
Jets still manage to gain 8 yards on 3rd-and-9, 6 yards on 3rd-and-7, 4 yards on 3rd-and-5, etc., every time. The Ghost of Paul Hackett…
#63 by T.C. on 10.15.06 5:36 pm |
Agreed about the logo on the hip. It seems that bay area uniforms are quite overlooked as great uniforms here, here, and here, but not so much here
#64 by K.G. on 10.15.06 5:36 pm |
Not NFL related and I’m not sure if its been adressed before, but does has anyone else noticed two different fabrics in Mizzou’s Jerseys?
#65 by K.G. on 10.15.06 5:48 pm |
They looked pretty gold to me too
#66 by Eric G. on 10.15.06 5:54 pm |
We talked about that kind of jersey last week, I think. It’s something like a half-knit, half-mesh jersey. Correct me if I’m wrong, anyone. We also pointed out some teams that used that same Nike template but didn’t have the half/half (Miami?).
#67 by JBan on 10.15.06 6:27 pm |
Most of the new nike jerseys are made of the two different fabrics, one is a stretch knit, the other a mesh. Miami, Michigan, MSU, OSU, Georgia, Mizzou, etc. all use multiple fabrics. Some other teams have yet to switch over like USC.

Okay, so I was watching the Panthers-Ravens game today when I noticed something that I should have (and this site probably has) noticed before. The Ravens helmet has two different logos due to the facing of the B on the Raven-head logo. When the raven head faces right, as in the official logo, the B faces the same direction, but on the left side ofr the helmet, when the raven’s head faces left, the B still faces the right, looking a little awkward. Is this old news? I couldn;t stop noticing it while I watched. If someone could find pics, I don’t know how to post the, so help a brother out.
#71 by Tom K on 10.15.06 7:02 pm |
For those who havent seen the new Wizards alternate uniforms, BEWARE:
Shorts
Entire Uniform
http://www.realgm.co...
#72 by Taylor on 10.15.06 7:19 pm |
The Wizards jerseys really aren’t all that bad. I kinda like them. I’m not down the tops and shorts not matching colors, but other than that it’s not all that bad. Still not as classic as the old Lez Boulez (any DC natives will get that) jerseys, but it could be a lot worse
#73 by Steve-O on 10.15.06 7:28 pm |
Sorry for no links, but I’m kinda illeterate at posting them. Anyways…
I think those old tigers road hats with the tiger climbing through the “D.” They look much better than the orange d hats they have now.
And those new wizrds unis are nice, but how is it that I live in Utah and haven’t heard about those new jazz alternates? Btw, those k-state unis look trashy, ugly, and I can’t wait for one of the players to to trip because of their pants, i mean shorts.
It doesn’t surprise me k-state has bad unis because most basketball uniforms are ugly. It is just the design of the shirt and pants that I can only name a few baskeball unis that look okay.
I recently got a baseball card with a player wearing high-top cleats. Is it common for players to wear high-top cleats back in the day??
#74 by Jeffrey on 10.15.06 7:40 pm |
This is one of my pet-peeves as well. It always annoys me when I’m watching a football game and I see a team with a logo on the helmet and see the exact same logo, in usually similiar dimensions, replicated on the sleeve of the jersey also. The redundancy goes over the top when the logo shows up on the hip of the pants.
A well designed logo is great, but when it is over-used in a branding whitewash it can be tragic. It makes sense to have a logo on each seperate part of the uni if they are taken in as seperates. For all those jersey-wearing-fans, it makes sense to have the logo of your favorite team appear on the jersey. But when viewed as they are meant to be (i.e. on the players, during a game) this redundancy makes no sense.
Logo are supposed to/should be iconic. This replication devalues the inherent value that the logos are supposed to carry when presented by the clubs on the field of play.
A uniform that has the same symbol within inches of itself visually is a poor choice by the designer. As stated before, the fact that they often are the exact same size doesn’t help. How do baseball uniforms get by this when they duplicate logos? They vary the size. Think of the “NY” that appears on the Yankees hats and jersey. The “NY” on the hat is obviously smaller than the “NY” on the chest. This brings the focus on only one, the larger of the two. When I see the “Double Logo” on the helmet and sleeve of a football jersey, I think of eyes being crossed and indecision.
As has been shown on this website many times over, there are an infinite ways to “brand” a uniform to its franchise or club in even the most simple of designs. There are ways to do it with an aesthetic simplicity without having to devalue a great logo by being “design-lazy” and relying on a logo that can easily be plopped on any piece of apparel. Obviously, stripes are a favorite way to individualize around here. I’d rather see stripes, numbers or nothing before seeing the same logo show up on both the helmet and the sleeves.
#75 by Jeff on 10.15.06 7:45 pm |
I hate K-State, and hate Huggins, but it seems that he wants to bring the Cincinati thug image to K-State by having new black unis.

watchin the mets pre game on fox and they were talkin about anthony reyes, the cards starter for tonight and kevin kennedy remarked that he has good stuff but needs to bend his hat a little(its straight as the day you buy it)
no mention of his old school stripes tho…doh!!!
#77 by Ian Scott on 10.15.06 8:09 pm |
It doesn’t look like Reyes is wearing the stirrups today. Like the stripes, though.
#78 by Chad on 10.15.06 8:11 pm |
The St.L on Anthony Reyes’ cap looks pink. It could just be me but it looks white on the other plyers caps.
#79 by Will on 10.15.06 8:11 pm |
Reyes’ cap logo is pink! Looks like somebody mixed the whites and colors…
#80 by Jack H. on 10.15.06 8:13 pm |
Gross.
#81 by Will on 10.15.06 8:14 pm |
Great minds, eh Chad?
The straight bill on his cap is annoying me. LaRussa does that, too. I have no idea how that is even remotely comfortable.
#82 by Andy from KC on 10.15.06 8:15 pm |
I guess I never really thought much about the Tigers’ unis or hats until this postseason, but I do like the white D at home and orange D on the road. I don’t find the orange D to be tasteless; I mean, orange IS in their color scheme, so why not use it? Plus, what color are tigers, anyway?
Also, this has nothing to do with anything, but the white D and orange D sort of make me think of double-stuf Oreos–the white being the regular ones, and the orange being the orange-colored ones you can get around Halloween. Oreos = good things, so maybe that’s a subliminal reason why I like the Tigers’ hats.
#83 by Craig on 10.15.06 8:16 pm |
Oh no. Oh God no. My beloved Wiz. It is truly too hideous for words. Christ, even hip-hop stars have figured out that gold is incredibly tacky. And, of course, ditch the black.

the guys on fox said he actually irons it flat, so its flatter than when you buy it. Im trying to decide if this could have contributed to the pink logo
#87 by Andy from KC on 10.15.06 8:17 pm |
At least they take the damn stickers off …
Reyes’ hat does look pink, btw. I thought it was my TV at first!
#88 by Beau on 10.15.06 8:17 pm |
Reyes has the flattest hat brim I’ve ever seen.
#89 by Jeff on 10.15.06 8:20 pm |
I think that Reyes’ hat is pink because of sweat. They showed a close up during the first batter of his face and there was a dark wet circle around the logo on the hat. So it probably bled a little bit on him.
#90 by Chad on 10.15.06 8:23 pm |
And now oliver perez seems to have the tagging barb that paul talked about on aaron heilmans hat last week.

Why is it that Nike gets all the flak for ugly uniforms? Do you guys honestly hate Nike this much or is it just because they are the most visible? Nike gets it for logo creeping, but did anyone notice that most of the Auburn players and coaches had about 35 Under Armour ‘UA’s all over them? Nike is criticized for ugly unis but look at WSU’s alternate by Russell, look at New Mexico State’s Addidas abominations, and Under Armour makes horrible jerseys like Marylands. Yeah Nike has made some bad choices like Cal’s yellow alternate, but every company has good and bad unis. Oh no, they made an under shirt that has one yellow sleeve one blue sleeve for West Virginia!!! Its the end of the world! Is that any worse than the Under Armour orange under shirts for Auburn that just randomly have part of the sleeve be blue?
Honestly, is Nike that bad or is it just that they outfit more schools than anyone else?

McCarver and Buck just said that they liked the fact that both pitchers in the game today are wearing “the old-style socks.” McCarver said something about how “that’s the way they need to be worn” with Buck saying “You wore yours like that, didn’t you?” Then they showed clips of Pujols and Belliard and started talking about how you never see the socks anymore. It was pretty cool.

No, why? WHY?!

Nike just makes more bad jerseys than anybody else. In their defense they make more *good* (wasn’t an English major) jerseys. But by the percentages, it is safe to say that Nike makes a larger number of ugly jerseys than adidas and UA and Russell.

Re: Wizards Uniforms
Does anybody have an actual picture of the jersey, not just a photo from a video game?

Re: George Mason Uniforms
Does anybody know what the George Mason basketball uniforms are slated to look like this year?

I usually avoid championship gear because it is often pretty garish. That being said this year’s ALCS cap is pretty nice. Kinda like the pennant on the front. I always love the 5950’s with the World Series logo on the side. Every year I come pretty close to buying one of those but they rarely make it to the sports stores here in Western Canada (where baseball is usually treated something like hockey is treated in Florida) and if I ordered one online it would probably be a $50 hat by the time I got it shipped.

the pink logo was in Jeff Suppan’s cap too…I think

I think that Reyes’ hat is pink because of sweat. They showed a close up during the first batter of his face and there was a dark wet circle around the logo on the hat. So it probably bled a little bit on him.
I think Reyes cap is pink for breast cancer awareness

Along the same line on the Tigers logos, I noticed tht the ALCS champ. hats have the white logo
#105 by K.G. on 10.15.06 9:38 pm |
sorry forgot to finish, but the shirts have the orange logo
#106 by Dane on 10.15.06 9:39 pm |
I agree (on both points). The alternate should not have the little front numbers.
But at least they’re not wearing the jersey shown below. Who’s going to pony up for charity for this number?

If not for the flat brim, this would be damn near motherfucking perfection.

The refs for the Jets Dolphins game were wearing lons sleeved shirts, but the white pants, hopefully they burned all the black pants.

AHL Notes:
AHL Jersey’s have two Reebok logo’s on the back: One where the NHL has it, and one where a logo used to be on NHL jerseys. Seen here:

AHL jersey’s have Cool Base-esque vents on the side panels. Seen here:

The Hartford Wolfpack might just have the distinction of being the only team to use a patch as the main logo of a jersey. Seen here:

In HD, the Saints numbers appeared to be particularly shiny

Even though Syracuse basketball qualifies for Nike’s “Elite” status, thankfully they are keeping their uniforms nice and classic. To my eye, it looks like they changed the font on this year’s jersey to more of the standard block lettering, keeping in line with the logo change. Compare: last year and this year. It’s a slight change in the font, but at least there aren’t any shoulder stripes.
#112 by Lake on 10.15.06 10:44 pm |
Oh, and even though I like the Syracuse unis, I firmly believe they should always wear orange at home (and on the road as well). It’s their freaking name, for crying out loud!
#113 by Scott on 10.15.06 10:54 pm |
I tell you what, I don’t think there was a better uniform out there Sunday than this one.
#114 by Eric G. on 10.15.06 10:55 pm |
Honestly, I think the new ‘Cuse unis are too plain.
#115 by Al on 10.15.06 10:59 pm |
what a surprise that Huggins would like black, it’s how the guy recruits. scumbag, I ‘m very disappointed that KSU has reduced itself to the level of going out to hire this jackass, just a drunkdriving incident waiting to happen.
#116 by Al on 10.15.06 11:10 pm |
That’s because with the Canadien football League, College football and the NFL, no one has time to see Minor League Football teams. :)
#117 by Al on 10.15.06 11:14 pm |
You forgot the old ‘the city’ unis that the Warriors reintroduced a few years ago, i’m too lazy to post a photo, but they’re sharp.
#118 by Elliott on 10.15.06 11:21 pm |
But no one has given me a real good explanation on the Admirals/Brewers connection.
#119 by dh on 10.15.06 11:23 pm |
Thank goodness he didn’t pitch as good as he looked.
The first thing I thought after hearing the comment about the socks is I knew this crew would dig it. Afterwards, McCarver & Buck took the rest of the players to task for their pajama legs.
#120 by dh on 10.15.06 11:25 pm |
Oh, and was Perez wearing stirrups too? Couldn’t tell if it was just stockings or very short stirrups.
#121 by tim on 10.15.06 11:25 pm |
Yes, it’s been this way since the bird logo had to be introduced.
the left side helmet logo does indeed look awkward, but they wanted the B to remain in the logo and couldnt exactly just tranpose the right side logo or else the B would be going backwards.
#122 by Nolan on 10.15.06 11:30 pm |
Something I asked myself today: Are those Titans helmets painted with a white paint or is it just the standard issue white helmet?
And before you mention it, I’m aware that helmets are white to start with. Today I noticed them to be a little less stark white and a more of a pearl white.
#123 by Nolan on 10.15.06 11:38 pm |
dude, read this

Ok. Not exactly uni-related, but close, and I know one of you guys out there in uni-land will know the answer. How long have the Cardinal Kerchiefs been around? It looks totally dumb to have masses of fans waving those things around. Yes, I know the Twins have the Homer Hankie, but that’s different. Come to think of it, did the Twins come up with that to counter the Cards’ Kerchief in 1987? Todd K., do you know?
Oh, by the way, I really like most of the NFL teams with black unis. That’s one reason I picked the Steelers as my secondary team–Troy P. being easy on eyes makes them that much more enjoyable to watch. I used to root for the Chargers and the Raiders for this same reason (black unis), but not any more.
That said, I think the Mets need to stick to the gray road unis, and maybe their other pitchers should rock the high socks like Perez—look at the job he did!
#125 by Mike from Queens on 10.16.06 12:06 am |
You like Mr. P., then you’ll love Mr. Fair.
Tim “Washed Up” McCarver and Joe “My dad was great” Buck made the same point. The guy exited the game with a 7.94 ERA. Mets fans should not be satisfied. Giving up 5 runs without getting out of the 6th is not impressive in any way. I like you Minna, but comparing his socks to his performance makes me want to the rest of the Mets pitchers to wear the pajama look!
