Can someone explain why the Penguins fans were doing a “white out” when the Pens were wearing black jerseys and the Rangers were in white? It didnt make much sense to me

It’s the fans in PA, they just are not as smart as we would hope. At Penn State, they have white outs all the time, when the home team is wearing blow, I mean blue. Look at the OSU game a few years ago.

You don’t know anything. Most people in Pittsburgh hate Penn State. Sidney Crosby requested the whiteout to see how it would look. They probably did white because (a) they had been giving out white towels the entire playoffs; (b) gold would look too much like a steelers game; and (c) black would look terrible. So they come from a 3-goal deficit to win during the whiteout – looks like it was a success.

As for those red Pirate vests, I wonder if they would look better as a full top rather than a vest.

I think you might be on to something there…

But I still can’t get over this comment…

Pirate management ought to ask themselves:

What would …Willie Stargell…look like wearing those unis?

Willie did wear this hat and uniform in the 70’s. I’m sure he’d have looked right at home. And so what if its not one of their original colors. I think this is a fight we’re not really going to win ever again.

Seriously, I like that idea, an actual red JERSEY thing.

Oh, and the state of the Bucs, I think they need a major shakeup of a trade. Get a pitcher who doesn’t give up four runs in the first inning for Nady. They’re not even playing him every night. Why they aren’t playing Mientkiewicz more, I’ll never know.

Or is their new team mantra, “We’re Bearcats. We scratch each other’s butts.”?

Sorry, I’m just amazed at the wrongheadedness that emerges in uni design, more so than ever these days. Like Oregon’s techno pattern that looks like tiremarks. “We’re Ducks. So fast we get run over crossing the highway.”
But it IS Cincinnati, where they long have been convinced that helmets apparently splintered by a ferocious hit (Bengals) look really snazzy.

Oh, and they forgot to color his facemask purple also.

like so?

The University of Cincinnati Bearcats football team has released their new uniforms and they are exactly as they were described to me… maybe a little tamer.

i actually pictured them being a lot worse than they turned out. they’re pretty bad though. the unnecessary piping, the red side panels on the black jerseys, the black stripe on the white and red jerseys, and the cat stracthes on the pants are all awful. at least the garish adidas 3 stripe pattern isn’t all over them.
