Paul,

I thought I had already posted this, but I guess it did not get through…

You mention the “alternate” alternate logo for the bruins new threads; this is by design. The BOSTON patch is on the Road White jersey, the BRUINS patch on the Home Blacks. Might be an issue if they reverse back to White at Home in the next year or two, as rumored.

Also, they already have a third jersey designed, I hear; gold, black shoulders, same basic striping in black/white, with the logos reversed.

The black lower sleeves on the Road jersey is traditional; all the uniforms in the 60′s, 70′s, and 80′s had that.

The only thing I do not like is the white below the lower striping on the Road jersey; I think that would flow much mire nicely if it were black. It would match the sleeves well, and blend into the black pants, like the home jerseys do. But, based on the way they reversed the white/black portions of the striping on the two jerseys, I am guessing they were going for a sort of New York Rangers look there…

I think the new sweaters are a great move for both Boston and Washington. It’s nice to see teams go back to their days of yore (esp. Boston shoulder patch, albeit updated). The Caps should have gone with a more classic striped pattern, esp. on the bottom (the little blue stripe hardly breaks up the vast field of red on the home sweater), but is that what we sacrifice for the new Rbk design? I’m also not the biggest fan of the shoulder patch, but overall it’s definitely a vast improvement for Washington. Goodbye purple and black!

[quote comment="107530"]My St. Louis neighborhood bar suggestions: Tin Can Tavern: Serves only canned beer.....with koozies! The Royale: Paul's favorite color abounds. The Blackthorn: True neighborhood bar with fantastic pizza.[/quote] Forgot the Blackthorn... I'd vote for that. Also, Dressel's, a fine Welsh pub in the CWE.

The United can't be too thrilled with the Caps new eagle. They look way too similar.

To continue the state flag argument, here's a link to a survey of the best state flags in the US and Canada. (Personal fave is Alaska)

just came across this- http://beinamovie.co... they’re filming a movie about some mexican little league team. based on the poster the uniforms look very much like brooklyn dodgers (though that may be because those uniforms on my mind. The devil rays and dodgers are doing a turn back the clock night tonight where the Dodgers will be wearing their old brooklyn uniforms)

I don’t know about cities…but I’ve always though this was the coolest of the state flags:

Really…. You know better than bringing the Texans into this arguement… Now look what you have done![/quote]

Yeah. This is not the way to challenge a Texan. Pick something you can actually win with. Like a game against the Houston Texans.

Well, first off, Bruins jersey is fantastic, of course… The Capitals jersey is ok, I guess, the shoulder logo just doesn’t make sense, it’s too much and contrasts the wordmark primary logo way too much… The Bluejackets jersey is an improvement, the star logo is much better then the CB ribbon one, but I wish they would have tweeked it a bit so it didn’t look so “Action 90′s” esque… The Kings jersey is still bad, the logo sucks and the “Los Angelas” on the bottom isn’t great also… The Canes didn’t do too bad besides the piping on the shoulder… The Islanders, I need to see one seperated from the rest, the oranges keep merging from one jersey to the next… Ummm, I think that’s it… Ohhh, Maryland’s flag is best, and I don’t know which city has the best flag, but I’m pretty sure who has the worst flag *gag*

[quote comment="106776"]Not to double-post or anything, but this is what the Brewers are wearing tonight. Why in the hell don't they just go back to this full-time? Does anyone actually like their current unis? They can't hold a candle to the old ones, imho.[/quote] There current unis are one of the best in baseball. True, I love the throwbacks, but the current ones are fantastic.
