Ah, the pleasures of a snow game, full of scenes like this and this. Is there anything better? Not in my book. Not even Seattle’s neon green gloves could ruin this one for me. Now let’s hope for more of the same this Sunday (current forecast for Green Bay: snow flurries and a high of 11 degrees).
Meanwhile, some notes from the weekend’s NFL action:
• Kudos to the Green Bay officiating crew for having the pride, fortitude, and good taste to wear traditional white knickers despite the snowy conditions.
• For the first time this season, captaincy patches appeared on the Pack’s jerseys. As I understand it, this is because they’ve settled upon a set group of captains for the postseason (instead of changing captains each game, as they’d done during the regular season).
• I missed the play where Cullen Jenkins almost sacked Matt Hasselbeck but ended up yanking off the QB’s belt — or, depending on who’s telling the story, his hand-warmer pouch — so I can’t comment on what it was that Jenkins ended up with. He definitely got a handful of something, as you can see here and here.
• Most of the Packers wear the NFL Equipment logo on their collar trim. But as several readers have noticed, a few Green Bay players wear their collars tucked into their pads, so they wear the logo lower, down near their uni numbers.
• As a gazillion readers pointed out, the Jags’ pairing of black socks with black pants looked distressingly similar to the officials’ black slacks.
• Over in Indy, Dallas Clark was once again flag-free.
• Not positive about this, but the Giants may be the first team to have played two road playoff games wearing their home jersey (and they won both times!).
• Greg Ellis had only one faded sleeve stripe, instead of two, plus his jersey appeared to be covered in mold spores (thanks to Scott Yager for the latter photo).
• Amani Toomer once again wore his new-look jersey, with the lower nameplate and lack of side panel (sorry, no good pics). Antonio Pierce and Justin Tuck wore similar jerseys, meaning that all three basic cuts — skill position, linebacker, and lineman — were rendered in the new pattern. I hope to have more info on all of this in the next couple of days.
• Cory Webster of the Giants was wearing what appeared to be a makeshift black armband, but Joe Skiba tells me it was just a shoulder harness.
As we head into the home stretch, all four remaining playoff teams are pretty easy on the eyes, so we should have a pretty decent-looking Stupor Bowl. Be thankful for small favors and all that.

Uni Watch News Ticker: Nice site here devoted to game-used Twins jerseys (with thanks to Blake Meyer). … It’s bad enough that Jacobs Field has been renamed Progressive Field. But did they have to enshrine it on a jersey? … Decent view here of UNC’s numbered stirrups from the 1960s (courtesy of Wes Cherry). … Mario Morgado sent along this shot of John Lennon. Anyone know what jersey that is? … Check out this note from Chris Bisbee: “Just came home from being an extra for the new Jim Carrey movie, called Yes Man (not sure what the release date is). The scenes shot today were at the L.A. Coliseum and were crowd scenes for his character attending a Nebraska football game. When the movie comes out, stand by for uniform chaos! We weren’t allowed to take any pictures, but the guys dressed in Husker uniforms were shameful. Wrong shoes, no nose bumper, no American flag decal (or any decals on back of helmet), no ankle or knee braces (just ankle-high white socks), and mostly just wrong-looking. On the bonus side, the cheerleaders were awesome. Authentic unis, and I heard they were the squad from Azusa Pacific University.” … The minor league Clinton Lumberkings have updated their King Louis logo character from this to this. Bill Jones notes that the new version is basically just a pumped-up version of the old. “Hmmm — bigger, stronger, after 14 years in the league. Could it be that his name is in the Mitchell Report?” … The Milwaukee Admirals wore Brewers throwback-style jerseys the other day. Additional pics and info here. … Mike Stargell notes that Georgetown University and Georgetown Prep have nearly identical uniforms. … On Saturday, I ran this. And then on Sunday, Bradley Hamner sent me this. … Best striped socks ever (great find by Nicole Haase). … Remember when Andy Moog wore this mask? That’s the apparent inspiration for Alex Auld’s new mask (with thanks to Jeffrey Israel). … Collin Johnson (that’s him in the striped socks) attends Desert Christian High in Tucson, but he grew up in Indiana, so he recently convinced his teammates to get new Indiana-style striped warmup pants.

Looks like the only difference between Georgetown U and Georgetown Prep is the “PREP” added to the left shoulder and the logo on the right shoulder, bother on the Prep jerseys. But the logo on the right should looks almost identical to GU’s.

My buddies and I were having a discussion (i.e. verbal war brought on by too much beer) and we were trying to decide if yesterdays games were historic. Has there ever been a day where Eli Manning has won a game on the same day that Peyton Manning has lost a game?

While the Progressive Field jersey seems (OK, *is*) crass, in 50 years the existence of this jersey may require the future version of Uni Watch to do an in-depth investigation of what it means and why it exists…

“Not positive about this, but the Giants may be the first team to have played two road playoff games wearing their home jersey (and they won both times!)”
The Panthers did this in ‘03 and ‘05 because technically white is their home jersey early in the year (Carolina won at St. Louis and Philadelphia in ‘03; N.Y. Giants and Chicago in ‘05). The Jaguars also did it in ‘96 in white jerseys after a half-season of white at home (at Buffalo and Denver). And the Cowboys did it in 1975 wearing white at Minnesota and Los Angeles.
The only team I can find that won two road playoff games in the same postseason wearing a dark jersey is the ‘85 New England team. What’s interesting is that the Pats wore red at the Jets and Miami in the playoffs and won those games, but in between, they won a game at the L.A. Raiders wearing white. The Pats wore white at home all season, but as the home team in the Super Bowl, they switched to red.

Two comments on items from the ticker:

2. The blue Hoosier-ish warmup pants are great. I hope the rest of the team Gets It and appreciates that fact.

Jenkins definitely had the handwarmer. If you look between his leg and the ground in either pic, you can clearly see the handwarmer standing up on the ground, with the neon green lining on the bottom.
also, cromartie had his towel ripped by the first colt to grab onto him and that was what was flowing behind him for the rest of the negated return.

Speaking of Punt Pass & Kick, during the Colts/Chargers game when they had the PP&K finalists on the field (after 3rd quarter), they were announcing their names and the teams they were representing. Did anyone notice when the RCA dome crowd booed the girl representing the Patriots? She looked around, a little shocked, but I thought it was hilarious. That’s quite a rivalry if they’ll boo a 13 year old girl.

Paul,
I am surprised you included the Pats as ‘easy on the eyes’ list of teams left in the NFL playoffs. I disagree, especially compared to their old hiking patriot (white helmet, red jerseys, etc.) the current ‘Elvis’ logo and silver helmet with red facemask looks like Arena league or USFL team. As for the rest of the teams San Diego is on the fence (leaning towards the Buffalo Bills with all of the different shades of blue and generally confusing design) but Green Bay and New York are safe and secure.

There is also a Ghostbusters style ambulance for a vet IIRC that is in town. The Auburn/Opelika area is just infused with orange and blue. You have to go to Toomer’s Drug store and get some lemonade if you are there though.

Jenkins definitely got the muff, you can indeed see it on the ground. What he actually grabbed to rip it off with was the belt that holds the muff around his waist. I think that’s where the belt confusion comes in.
I think it would be almost impossible for the regular belt to get ripped off. Don’t the pants have belt tunnels to prevent this? Belt tunnels appeared on baseball pants because apparently, long ago (before belt tunnels), a third baseman grabbed the belt of a baserunner on third, preventing him from scoring on a fly ball.
#44 by Rick From Cedar Park, TX on 01.14.08 10:08 am |
By the way … first half of the Cowboys/Giants … Romo took off running, slid, and was hit by a defender as he was sliding. Troy Aikman actually said that the defender “shouldn’t have gone down on Tony Romo.”

The NY Post sent a Jessica Simpson look-a-like to the Cowboys-Giants game yesterday, and she sat in the 3rd row. Radio shock jocks Opie and Anthony said she was fugly, and they compared her to Patrick Swayze’s fugly brother, how him and Patrick didn’t really look alike. haha

On a side note, I read in the Newark (NJ) Star-Ledger that she charges $500 for the first hour and $250 for each additional hour for her appearances. Sounds steep if you ask me! Unless there’s a pole around…..

#64 by Kyle at IU on 01.14.08 10:59 am |
Yeah, I saw that as well. It looked as though the would-be tackler got a hold of the towel on Cromartie’s waist and ended up unravelling part of the towel, which then went streaming off into the wind as he ran.
The blue-striped pants are a thing of pure beauty. The only basketball-related thing I’ve ever liked more than IU’s striped pants (I have two pairs of them at home) are the gold warmups from Hoosiers. Even then, we retain the connection to the state.

The Giants are not the first team to wear home jerseys for two road playoff games (and win both.) In 1985 the Patriots wore red jerseys at the New York Jets (wild card) and Miami Dolphins (AFC Championship game). Now, the Pats were wearing white at home that season, so maybe this doesn’t count.
#73 by duker on 01.14.08 11:18 am |
I’m pretty sure those aren’t mold spores. They were playing on that “RealGrass” brand artificial turf stuff in Dallas. The substrate is made up of sand and granules of rubber. Hopefully that’s just some of the rubber, not mold.

I don’t think those are mold spores. They are likely the rubber pellets that are used as turf filler for the “Real Grass” surface at Texas Stadium.

While I agree the Pats red facemask looks terrible, I love the rest of their home blue unis, and sicne they will be wearing dark for the rest of the playoffs, they definitely get an easy on the eyes from me.
And I prefer the old Chargers unis from last year, the new ones are still good. The Giants are the only team left who I would say their uniforms suck. Jerseys are boring, and the grey pants look like they are from the Salvation Army footabll team. Traditional does not always = good.

Looking at the picture you linked to of the officials under the goalpost, it seems like there might be some inconsistencies between their sock stripes. It’s hard to tell for sure but the far officials stipes seem to be thicker than the nearside official (#122).
Little official note. In that bud light commercial where the official sacks the QB, the official is incorrectly labled. If you notice at the end you see that he has a “U” for Umpire on his shirt, but in the begining of the commercial when the defense breaks the huddle, the official runs off to the wing (sideline) before making the sack. If he was an Umpire he’d be lined up with the linebackers and not on the wing.
Just something in noticed.

And then there’s the third version of Busch Stadium in St. Louis…
When Anheuser-Busch Corp. bought the Cardinals in 1954, company owner August A. Busch, Jr. (aka “Gussie”) wanted to rename Sportsmans’ Park “Budweiser Stadium”. The then-poo-bahs of Baseball frowned at this idea, but allowed Gussie to change the name to “Busch Stadium”, despite the fact that A-B also brewed a “Busch-Bavarian” beer as well as the better-known Budweiser. (The tradition of naming ballparks after club owners dated back to the 1800’s, after all!)
When the Cardinals moved into a new “cookie-cutter” stadium in 1966, that building was named “Busch Memorial Stadium”. A-B had sold the Cardinals by the time the third stadium was built for the 2006 season… guess who bought the naming rights?
Of course, the Cardinals have worn these socks in all three stadia…
It’s the “corporate” changes that cause so much confusion… Enron Field/Minute Maid Park; Pac Bell/SBC/at&t Park; and whatever the heck they’re calling the BOB in Phoenix these days…

A team using another teams colors?

I have a gamer that is long like that too, except they are so tight (in certain spots) that you can pretty much adjust the length to whatever you like and still have it work out okay.
Game worn jerseys are really almost works of art and they bear almost no resemblance to even the full on authentic jerseys you can buy.

Indeed… they are faded in the middle.

If the NFL is going to fine players for their socks being the wrong color, or chinstraps being the wrong color — why not for players not having the correct team jersey? If the Cowboys are supposed to have 2 stripes on their sleeves, all players should have two stripes — not one (ie Greg Ellis yesterday) or none (ie - Brad Johnson in the pre-season).

a good number of the Cowboys players wore blank (white) nose bumpers in the game today, while others had ones that said ‘Riddell’ or ‘Cowboys’. I’m not a ‘boys fan, so I only noticed this today, anyone else catch it?

regarding the John Lennon photo. i’ll need some help here; clues: the sleeve patch is a keystone shape indicating Pennsylvania, there’s an E in the patch, so maybe it’s a minor league team from Erie (or another PA town starting with E). from the side the letters on the front appear to be all upper case. anybody got some ideas on this one?

I went to see the Baylor Lady Bears beat Texas A&M and noticed something new. I haven’t been to many games, so it’s probably been like this all season. Their shorts have the traditional interlocking BU on one side and the number on the other:
bu1
bu2
Also, apparently #12 for the Lady Aggies prefers old school shorts. She was constantly messing with them, tucking the bottom into her undershorts.

The city of Louisville has this as well. But the fire truck gets to stay red since UofL is red and black. On the front says Cardinal Crew and has this http://louisville.ed... logo and the Cardinal Head

85 pats wore home jerseys three times on the road, won the first two. didn’t do so good in the third. 75 cowboys twice wore home on road and won, too.

Bring back the classic Patriots jerseys with the great “Pat Man” logo on the helmet. The current Patriot uniforms are a step up from the original 1995 design with the Elvis on the shoulders and the silver pants though.

What makes the Patriots uniforms a train wreck? They look pretty classy to me. A modern classic, IMO.

Like L.D. (Larry David) said in the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm, “I’m not an inventor, I improve things”.
I would like to make a simple improvement to the Jags black socks with black pants debacle. Get rid of the black sock and replace it with the stripe pattern found on the white sleeve. Therefore, their socks would match their sleeves and their pants would match their helmets (all black). Simple.
P.S.
Patriots,
Wear your silver pants with the blue socks at home and on the road. I just might like you.
Love,
Marty

4 teams left?
Patriots - YUCK.
Packers - LOVE them.
Chargers - YUCK
Giants - Like the uniform with the blue jersey, but I do wish that the helmet logo was an NJ and not an NY.

I thought it looked more like a Sigma inside the Keystone. Could it be a fraternity jersey from Penn?

For the DirecTV viewers out there this may have additional shots of John in his jersey. I saw the last 20 minutes or so and it had some concert footage as well as candid interviews and photos of John. I didn’t see the jersey. It could be in the beginning, and this is worth watching anyways.

Looks like a Keystone with a Sigma inside of it to me.

is anyone surprised he cant compete?
i didnt think he ever had a chance, nor does he have a chance with an appeal.
is there any doubt that science could build “legs” that can outperform “standard legs”?
when it comes down to it, if you are pistarisu and you are a sprinter, you order your “legs/blades” with as much spring as possible, right? because other sprinters without legs are ordering the same type of “legs/blades”.
i dont know how spring is measured on these legs/blades, but lets say its from 1-10, 10 being most spring that science can create.
where do human legs fit into this? 5? 6? 1?
do you then regulate that these athletes can only use “legs/blades” with spring level 5, 6 or 1?
have you ever seen people with these jumping legs perform? arent the legs pistarisu uses a scaled down version of these?

Should have gone with Jacobs Field at Progressive Stadium.

Nah, the back of the E is straight. Doesn’t bend in like a sigma does.
I think it’s an E.
Also, if you look closely, it’s hard to tell because of the quality, but the jersey appears to be pinstriped. Since baseball seems to be the only sport that does that I’d say it’s safe to call it a baseball jersey.
