Oh, so that’s how “That School Up North” does it. They develop Big Ten officials from Ann Arbor. No other way they could win all those games.

Also, I’m shocked that his name was “Dick.” There are a lot of Dicks “Up North.”

I couldn’t find pictures, but the Durham Bulls did a similar Negro Leagues tribute in June. All of the players, from both teams, wore assorted Negro League unis.

The program was in decline before Coach Knight left â€” no Sweet Sixteens in the last six years of his tenure with some pretty humilating NCAA exits to boot (anyone who watched the Hoosiers lose to Pepperdine in the first round of 2000 might have thought they were the No. 6 seed, not the No. 11).

Well, Terry Mark – I guess Brand did you a favor then. Coach Knight should have won 20+ NCAA championships rather than just 3.

Not only do the Giants have the worst equipment managers (going all the way back to ‘87 when Kevin Mitchell joined the team on the road) but the worst PR dept. as well.

I sent an email wondering why Rod Beck gets a memorial patch but Jose Uribe (died Dec. 2006, starting SS for the better part of 9 seasons) does not. In return I got a form ‘Thank you for your inquiry – your input is valued’ crap response.

Before this season, I inquired whether the team would be celebrating their 50th season in SF (this year) like they had celebrated their 25th, 30th and 40th seasons. The response: We have decided to celebrate the 50th anniversary next year (’08). No explanation.

I’ve about had it with them.

At least they get aa anniversary celebration. This is the A’s 40th in Oakland, but not a peep about it.

It’s ONLY a summer league game, but I am unimpressed with the Sonics choice of white shirts and green shorts. Ick.

The San Diego Chicken just put on a shark ‘uniform’ and molested Braves 3rd base coach Brian Snitker. I mean, the chicken had Snitker in the grass and was just hunchin’ away at him. Though it was pretty disturbing, I somehow managed to laugh uncontrollably about it for at least 10 minutes and it’s made me use the word ‘hunching’ for the first time since ‘94. So maybe all this late-night baseball on the west coast is getting out of control….

Hey guys, I need some help. I’ve been obsessed with uniforms for as long as I can remember and I was ecstatic when I found this website a little less than a year ago. back when I was in middle school I had this huge drawing book with different uniforms for imaginary teams that I had created. Three years ago (the summer before my Junior year of high school) my baseball coach was about to order a new set of uniforms so I let him borrow the 12 or so different designs that I had created (which, incidentally were never returned to me). He did not use any of my specific designs, but he did use parts of a few of them and I can admit that we had some pretty nice looking unis (Here’s a picture of them. The following year my coach even asked me to draw up a yellow hat so he could see a visual before deciding whether or not he would order them. Anyway, lately I have been looking for a way to continue with my hobbie in a more “professional” way. About a year or so ago I found an advertisement in the back of a Rawlings catalog (I believe) for a computer program that allows you to design uniforms. I have, however, been unable to relocate the advertisement and my recent searches on the internets have also failed to produce any results. I was wondering if anyone knew of a program like this that I would be able to purchase. Thanks.

Also, as far as the St. Paul Saints go, I was under the impression that they are not hurtung for money. Bill Murray is a part owner of the team. They also have amazing attendance for an independent league team.

Hey Paul, I’ve heard conflicting stories about the NHL unis for next year. I think I’ve seen you mention the color/white home/away switch on several occasions but none of my team’s bloggers seem to think that we’ll be going to white for home games (which is a relief, in my opinion).

Dark at home. Board of governors voted on this last month.

As a follow-up to DJ (#3) and buckeyebrain (#44), I couldn’t resist joining the linkfest with some visual aids to wrestling refereeing.

If I’m considering getting an away jersey should I wait? How long until the teams are required to announce their unis for the upcoming season? How do I find the “official” buzz on this very important issue?
