was was the little 2 spots on gred ‘the man child’ oden’s jersey. it was there partway through the osu/tenn game, and there today (i think, unless i didnt notice)…

almost looks like dried blood that won’t wash out…

i love the ’system of dress’ tops, as long as they didn’t wear the super baggy shorts, i wouldnt mind unc(my team) wearing em next year…

It was blood on Oden’s jersey. He cut his chin towards the end of the game against Tennessee.

I guess this story is only semi-uni-relatied, but there's a funny sponsorship story from the English Premier League. This article says that Portsmouth has been trying to poach the company that sponsors Charlton's shirts , Llanera, just in case Charlton gets relegated from the Premiership. Apparently Portsmouth was trying to do this without letting it get out, but they sent an email to the wrong address and Charlton found out. Charlton's commercial director had this comment: "Interesting Approach! Why waste time putting in the effort to research the sponsorship market and make time-wasting presentations to potential partners when you can simply contact someone else's partner, preferably a club fighting relegation and get them to move across? Brilliant."

A) Good to see Royals fans make their presence known.
B) I like Dayton Moore’s system of dress (but here’s a vote for powder blues).
D) Hope the Royals stick with just one cap.
C)) Stirrups are cool; backward stirrups are not.

Last time I checked, it goes: A, B, C, D

Watching the UCLA game and I just have to say I hate the royal blue. It’s bad enough on it’s own, but every time they cut to the fans, they are all decked out in powder blue and just proves how bad the jerseys are.

As a royals guy i dont want to bash, but wearing stirrups backwards is unacceptable. Period. Effort only counts until 2nd or 3rd grade, or if you work for the government and they don’t actually care about productivity.

Elite 8 Unis:

Memphis has the worst unis in all college basketball and guess what, they aren’t Nike. Take that Nike haters!!

I know I’m probably in the minority but the I love the new system of dress jerseys. could do without the shorts, but the jerseys are awesome, especially in white. Ohio St. was looking good today

Apropos of nothing, I found a great shot of the fantastic Arizona Wranglers uniform, which we were talking about last week…
