I like curling. The rocks (striped!), the brooms, the target (very mod, don’tcha know). Too bad the uniforms are so lame-o.
Ah, but it didn’t used to be that way. Curlers used to wear special sweaters. And as Canadian readers Nick Maibroda and Aram Sarkisian both informed me yesterday, curling sweaters made a comeback of sorts last weekend. Aram explains:
I was watching the Grand Slam of Curling on CBC and noticed one of the teams had these absolutely fabulous sweaters. Turns out they had done badly in a previous tournament and wanted to change up their uniforms for good luck, so one of them logged onto eBay and found a set of vintage 1950s curling sweaters. Someone’s grandfather had worn them in the ’50s for about a dozen tournaments and they’d been mothballed for 50 years since then.
The team bought them all, matched them with checked pants, and wore them for the Grand Slam. At various points the sweaters proved a little warm, so a few of the guys took them off to reveal rather boring white Under Armour shirts. Aside from that, their only complaint about the duds was that they smelled really, really bad. Looked great, though. It’s all the CBC commentators talked about for a good 10 minutes at one point.
Awesome sweaters, awesome story. I especially like the cuff stripes and the upper sleeve patch. Seriously, which team would you rather be on? No contest. (There are more photos here, and some background on curling attire here.)
The sad news: Koe lost. The even sadder part: Look closely at the scoreboard and you’ll see the World Curling Tour logo. Not so bad if viewed in a vacuum, but c’mon, isn’t that design concept just a little played out? And why would a Canadian league stick to the red/white/blue color scheme? Odd.
Uni Watch News Ticker: Reprinted from yesterday’s comments: Ohio State’s basketball team wore football-patterned shorts on Saturday. … Baseball Hall of Fame researcher Tom Shieber just turned up another instance of stolen uniforms necessitating makeshift solutions. Now we just need some photos. … Several readers noted that Tomas Kaberle appeared to be wearing a set of Atlanta Thrashers gloves during the skilils competition last weekend. Nick Hepburn quickly deduced that they must have been borrowed from Marian Hossa — except for that big “18″ on the thumb. Then Nick found this shot, which makes it clear that Hossa had taped over the number. … The Portland Beavers will be unveiling new uniforms today.

I’m just guessing that a Canadian curling league stuck with red, white and blue for the logo because its the most common colour scheme for curling rings….

ah curling…it never fails to bring oot the hecklers
srsly, tho…curling is kind of cool in that it (for us yanks anyway) appears on nbc’s 4th channel of olympic coverage every 4th year and then…POOF…it’s gone again
paul’s right tho…sweaters are better

I love the obscure jersey talk too. Made me remember when my brother bought a Bears Barry Minter jersey like 10 years ago because it was only like $30, compared to the $80 or so for an Urlacher. If I’m remembering right, and I think I am, he got cut that preseason too. Priceless.

When I was a teenager I found my grandfather’s Oakville (Ontario) Curling Club sweater from the ’50s in a closet. It was beautiful - intricate chest patch with crossed brooms (similar to the shoulder patch shown above) and a great big collar. I think there might have been stripes around the upper arms, too. I wore it around as long as I could, until it started to fall apart. I don’t know where it is now - I think it might have been thrown out. What a waste! Misspent youth, I guess. No pics, sorry.
#27 by Stuby on 01.29.08 9:52 am |
Like the article said, though, it’s a slippery slope. If your last name is spelled ‘Bradey’, would you still get a number #12 with your name on it? Seems like the novelty would wear off in about 5 minutes, after which you would get pretty tired of explaining it.
#28 by Matt on 01.29.08 9:54 am |
Curling seriously rocks. It is nice to see it get a little unicoverage for once. Mind you it doesn’t do to much in the way of uniforms. And there has been alot of pink (see Howard, Glenn) but the sport is seriously great.
I’m from the great land to the north and we are celebrating 120 years of curling. Not to mention curling is the only sport to celebrate other sports. We have 2 tournaments every year dedicated to the Super Bowl and Grey Cup(CFL)

Here’s a classic curling sweater worn by the Moose Jaw Rat Rods. The now defunct team dominated the local scene from 1922-27 but dissolved itself when Walter Mudrunkle, the team’s charismatic octogenarian skip, was accused by Red McCurlihan, the team’s brilliant third, of making eyes at the mayor’s daughter. She had just turned twelve at the time and was patently off limits for another year. Though many dispute McCurlihan’s claims to this day, the ramifications of his accusations were felt for some time in the frontier town. McCurlihan drowned under mysterious circumstances in his personal still in 1933 and Mudrunkle eventually married the mayor’s daughter three years later, quit curling, and formed a touring barbershop quartet.

The WORLD Curling Tour is hardly a Canadian League. Jason Larway’s team from Bothwell, Washington, USA plays in the Tour, as does Thomas Ulsrud’s squad from Oslo, Norway. Granted, 16 of 18 teams are Canadian, but there are a couple of teams from outside the Great White North that play.
Also, Asham Curling Supplies sponsors the Tour. They arguably make the best curling gear and brooms on the market today. It’s not “A SHAM”… it’s pronounced “ASH-em”.

You gotta love in an era with overhyped logo creep “vintage” uniforms which often lack minor details that made the uniforms classic in the first place, that a team would wear actual vintage uniforms and not vintage inspired and the fact that they smelled…presumably of mothballs just adds to the story.

Does anybody feel that as well-intended as it may be, the camouflage jersey just might be cliché? I, for one, think it would be cool to have the following Franken-throwback: the jersey and pants of the early 1970’s (just before the pajama sets), but with the sleeves, socks, and hats changed to blue. This means you get the block of blue, with red and white stripes, just like the American flag. Or Carlos May’s career in a blender…

So, is it cool or un-cool to wear a “replica” jersey with your own name on the back?
Full disclosure… I wear a St. Louis Blues replica with my name and number on the back. (The Blues don’t currently have a player wearing #1.) Should I content myself with searching for a Jim Merritt replica jersey? Or perhaps the more obscure Ahmad Merritt?
I’ve looked (unsuccessfully) for a Glenn Hall replica Blues sweater… they didn’t have names on the jerseys when “Mr. Goalie” and Jacques Plante combined for the Vezina. Living in Jonesboro, Arkansas, there aren’t too many folks wearing NHL sweaters of any sort… what say you, Uni-Watchers?

I think the issue was not just with the colors red, white and blue, but with the overall design of the logo being red on one side and blue on the other with a white figure (basketball player, baseball player, racecar, etc).

That’s why I prefer the grey alts as well. I had seen them on the Eastbay website, as well as, here, but had paid them no mind until I saw the game pics yesterday. I LOVE them and how the bucs wear them except for the black socks with their soldiers. Back in the day when Jay Burson and Treg Lee played at TOSU, they wore base grey Nike Air bounds and they looked great. They should return to that with their new alts.

I have a Fernando Tatis #23 Cardinals jersey. I thought he’d be an All-Star after seeing him play for my hometown Tulsa Drillers, then he started off huge with St. Louis. Guess he stopped taking steroids after 2000. I also own a game-worn Anthony Lerew Braves jersey because I wanted a Braves jersey and it was cheaper than even the replicas. Even if no one knows who he is, he dresses well.
#73 by MLB2PDX on 01.29.08 11:30 am |
Agreed. I think it’s kind of stupid that they’re doing all of these changes just because of OSU’s success, but I’m just happy they kept the name. That’s the main thing. But yeah, really curious about the logo, color scheme, etc. Hopefully they got rid of the pinstripes. And if they really are changing the colors, maybe something like dark green and dark blue…
We’ll find out in 3 hours.

One of the great features of curling sweaters - if you win a canadian provincial championship, and go to the national Brier, you get a “purple heart” patch that you wear on your sweater or jacket forever. I’ve never come close but I’ve curled against a lot of guys with purple hearts and its an amazing badge of honour - like being in “The Show”
Amazingly, when I googled curling sweaters to find an example of the purple heart I found an old edition of uniwatch!
The two middle guys have each been to the Brier twice.

Also, on a side note, in this past year I have done a decent amount of traveling for work and vacation (Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, South Africa, Papua New Guinea, and Italy)…one thing I’ve noticed is that there are Yankees hats/gear EVERYWHERE! Granted, I know most of the people are wearing it more for the “NY” than the team, but still. They need to realize that they’re supposed to hate them, not like them. But, it’s better than seeing SF Giants hats everywhere. I couldn’t take that and would have to say something…

Here’s details on the Portland Beavers announcement, in case any UW’ers can get there … sent to me in an email last night …
The Portland Beavers cordially invite you to attend…
THE OFFICIAL UNVEILING OF THE NEW TEAM LOGO & UNIFORMS
Pioneer Place Shopping Center
700 SW Fifth Ave
Tuesday, January 29, at 11:30 a.m.
(Lower level next to Food Court, between Gymboree & Claire’s)
The new logo and uniforms celebrate the history and tradition of the Portland Beavers, Portland’s team since 1903. The “new” look is a return to the roots of our National Pastime, infusing the community-based symbolism of the game. Baseball brings people together, and we want PGE Park to be Portland’s town square. We hope to see you on Tuesday to be part of this groundbreaking event.
RSVP:
Please RSVP to Patti Peters at (503) 553-5506 or ppeters@pgepark.com. Thanks for your support.
P.S.
New merchandise will be available at the mall directly following the unveiling. Plus, the PGE Park Team Store will also be open for the remainder of that week with the new merchandise, plus vintage items up to 50% off. The store will be open from Wednesday, January 30 to Friday, February 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Just wondering, I was watching Celebrity Rehab last night and noticed that from episode 2 to 3 they made the less famous Baldwin tape over an Under Armour logo on his shirt. Why is that? Of course i never would have noticed this if I wasn’t a UW’er. I’ve seen it in videos too, they’ll blur out swooshes and 3 stripes. I can’t see the companies getting mad, isn’t that free advertising? And it’s not like it’s attached to the MTV or VH1 logo. I’m sure someone on here knows.

I used to like the NHL all star games when all the players would wear their own team colored gloves with the ever so classic and missed black and orange “NHL” logo uniforms.
Classy and classic… damn you Reebok!
It’s hard enough to tell who the players are. Taking away ANY way to seperate the players just makes it that much more enjoyable. At least the goalies still wear their own gear (I think, didn’t watch like 99.99% of the world)… for now.

Paul,
Didn’t know if you had seen anything new about the unis for the AAFL? I found a video of the AAFL draft here (Sorry, I couldn’t get the link to post correctly - http://event.playons...). There are some helmets that on set at different times in the broadcast. Tennessee’s jersey is at the 1:32:40 mark and the helmet at 1:33:36. Texas is at 1:37:15 (yuck!). Florida at 1:41:51 (probably the best looking jersey). Michigan at 1:44:04 (very arena league). Alabama at 1:47:08. I live in the state of Alabama and am an Auburn grad, so this one is a little personal. I kind of expected the red & white, but this jersey is high school ugly. Can I at least get a sleeve stripe? Are they using Rutgers’ practice jerseys ???
Arkansas’ jersey isn’t held up by their pick, but you can see it and their helmet in this gallery. Also, more pics of Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, and Texas. I’m not sure why Alabama’s page hasn’t been updated with draft pics. Maybe they realized that their jerseys needed some work.

I think the red-white-blue watch was meant to be intended for logos based on the tricolour/silhouette idea, not just those colours in general. Think Baseball, think basketball(think Baseketball!) - and those two are the only acceptable ones to me. The rest just convey a sense of tedium and lack of imagination. At least do something interesting, like the old Football League “Union Swastika” design, or the Formula One Negative Space Flag effort.

As soon as I heard “County Stadium visitors’ clubhouse,” I thought back to the book “Jocks and Socks.” It was written by the visitors’ clubhouse manager for the Brewers. Turns out this incident was during his time, as he’s mentioned in the article (though they spelled his name with a C instead of a K.) I don’t remember him mentioning this incident in the book, but it was a long time ago when I read it.
