		<description>[quote comment=&quot;48811&quot;][quote comment=&quot;48358&quot;][b][i]&quot;Did anyone watch the MD-UNC womens basketball game? UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell&#039;s suit was one for the ages. Pink, with a giant heart-shaped rhinestone broach and-- although I just caught a glimpse-- I think I saw matching heart shaped buttons. I&#039;m sure she is a nice lady and an excellent coach. But good god, she may be the worst dressed human in sports. Every thing she wears is something that I&#039;d pick up out of a discount bin, hold up to my friends and say &quot;Who would buy this?&quot; If I were Nike, I&#039;d call her and request that she remove the swoosh lapel pin.&quot;[=/i][/b][/quote]

There was a reason.  She wore the pink outfit to help raise money for breast cancer research.[/quote]

Well, I&#039;d pay money to see her in something half decent.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;[quote comment=&quot;48387&quot;][quote comment=&quot;48335&quot;]http://www.nypost.com/seven/01282007/sports/mad_about_colts_sports_mike_vaccaro.htm?page=2

Fabulous article.[/quote]

I disagree about it being &#039;fabulous&#039;, if for no other reason than the following, &quot;...and hockey are different, because they don&#039;t wear hats and helmets, and the logos don&#039;t easily spring to mind.&quot;

Logos off the top of my head (aside from the Habs mentioned in the article) &lt;a href=&quot;http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/8/8a/225px-Boston_Bruins.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Boston Bruins&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/21/Toronto_Maple_Leafs.gif/150px-Toronto_Maple_Leafs.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Toronto Maple Leafs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/trophies/winners/CCB1995.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Detroit Red Wings&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seowebworks.com/tickets/nhl/philadelphia%20flyers/Flyers.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Philadelphia Flyers&lt;/a&gt;...

Oh well. At least the author &lt;em&gt;tried&lt;/em&gt; to talk about hockey.[/quote]&lt;/em&gt;

It&#039;s the NY Post, it costs a quarter during the week and you get what you pay for. As far as the earlier post about why he didn&#039;t consider any other logos...basically they worship the Yanks in the post and will take any chance to slam the Mets. (Hence the NY Yankees logo being iconic and the Mets logo is not because it was &quot;borrowed&quot; from the departing Giants even though that the NL NY logo and the Yankees &quot;iconic&quot; logo were both introduced in 1909. He is right to a point, because most people instantly know the the team when they see that logo.

Still, I think just another chance for the Post to toss Team Steinbrenner&#039;s salad.</description>

It wouldn&#039;t be as obvious, but instead of a patch for each appearance, how about a playing card on each sleeve with the value equaling the number of appearences?  If this is your second game you get a 2.  seven = 7.  It gets a little tricky after 10, but if you did Jack = 11, Queen = 12, and King = 13, it would be OK.  No one has more than 13, do they?[/quote]

		<description>CLEVELAND RAMS

I once saw a color poster or media guide on EBAY showing the early Cleveland Rams having Maroon and Yellow/Gold as their colors.  

Also, I&#039;ve read on more than one occasion that the LA Rams were discouraged from wearing their Yellow/gold jerseys by the NFL in the late 1950&#039;s because the television audiences (with the broadcasts in black &amp; white) could not easily tell the teams apart</description>
