i gotta be honest, if i played in the pros, i’d porbably have my pants that baggy as well. I mean, baseball pants arent the most comfortable things in the world, and when you have to wear them everyday, you wanna be comfortable. Its like a big pair of functioning sweatpants…. it also seems like chewin tobacco (not dip) in his back pocket.

I have to agree with you. I’d probably opt for comfort too, especially since if I was making 15 million bones a year.

That’s the one thing that bothered me about having the pants up when I played. It was just too much maintenance. Then you have to find pants that are short with wide enough openings to raise the pants up to your knees. It’s a preference thing, and I don’t think ALL players should go high. Big guys just don’t look right. I’ve also been opposed to wearing mid-high spikes with high pants. Gotta go with the low tops.

Can’t let you discriminate against the big guys! I’m 6′7″ 230… I did a fantasy camp a few years back, and I insisted on going the high socks route. I love the way the pics came out, even if theye were full blue socks, and not stirrups.

Frankly, I think the “shorter” pants negate some of my height, and make it less obvious that I’m a head and a half taller than everyone else on the team.

Not uni-related but it is logo related. During halftime of the Georgetown/Ohio State game, they presented the player of the year and coach of the year awards. The problem, however, was when they presented Washington State coach Tony Bennett with the award, CBS showed the little stat bar thing Bennett’s name on it with a University of Washington logo instead of a WSU logo.

My God, those assclowns did it again!?

Good tip butI Thought the new hats where not serpose to shrink ,so I thought molding them would be impossable now. Also how do the sizes run giving are they the same as the old wool cap?

Chris, I have been thinking the same thing about UCLA’s uniforms. It seems like in year’s past, they wore either shiner uniforms or a lighter shade of blue.

Does anyone know if Florida wins, will Ohio State wear a red System of Dress, or their red uniforms they wore all year? I was just thinking about how we’ve only seen them in their whites, and the only team we saw 2 Systems of Dress from was the Syracuse Complainers.

UofA wore a white and a blue one. Two losses. thanks for reminding me.

Ohio State has worn a red version of the new uniform. dont know what game but Im pretty sure they did

I just got one of the new 5950’s (ATL) and if you dont like them looking like a box on your head do what the pros do and wear your hat in the shower and it will mold to your head instantly.

Nice, thanks for the suggestion.

Oh, and the System of Dress unis have been mothballed by the Gators for a while know. Local retail places that stock them sold out their initial stock, but they’ve been moving slowly since everyone figured out that they weren’t being worn. I do like the black ones though. Maybe they’ll re-launch them for next season (which would be nice since they wouldn’t be saddled with generic Nike-world unis).

BTW, did anyone catch the “skills contest” on ESPN this afternoon (which was held the other day?). The guy from ‘Cuse was walking next to one of Oregon’s 6 foot guards, and even with the 6″ height difference, the hem of their shorts were the same distance from the floor. weird image.

i generally buy NB a half size up because of that.

Yeah, I already got a nine, which is half a step up for me. I got wide, but I should have gotten the extra-wide. Next time, I’ll know.

From the “Drat!” department, the St. Louis Cardinals have apparently rescinded their “dress code” for minor-leaguers in their system. Cards’ farmhands used to have to “show the stripes” of their stirrup socks; but sadly, this is no longer the case.

Sigh…

Those of you who get the Bloomberg financial magazine need to check out last month’s issue. There’s a story about the Cardinals’ development camp in the Dominican Republic, and all the players have their pant legs pulled up like the dress code used to have it. (The stirrups are those fake drawn-on ones, though.)
