I didn’t realize there were so many Southeastern Michigainians here either. Want to come over here, Paul, and celebrate the olde English D and the winged wheel?

Has anyone been to the new Sports Museum in NYC yet?

No, but I’m staring at it right now. One of Firm’s offices is on Broadway and I’m in a meeting today and tomorrow and it’s just begging me to go over.

I’m not a huge fan of the offset median stroke on the A that they’ve worked into both the helmet logo and the jersey lettering. It seems like a “modern” touch that’s slightly out of place.

I’d like to see the NOB lettering as well- that could potentially ruin the whole deal. Helmet numbers can go either way as well. Also I’m assuming they wear white socks and black shoes which would be a good look.

The font is new/original, also a part of the revamped “graphic identity”. The colors are much closer to the school’s palette from the 1970s, before “cardinal and gold” evolved into “red and yellow”. If 2008 is like 2007, there will be no NOB. Names were taken off the jerseys by the new coaching regime. Likely no exterior helmet numbers, either.

Rumors are floating about white shoes, not black.

In commemoration of 50 years in San Francisco, the Giants are having “Flashback Fridays” in which they honor past team members. Last week vs. Philly was Johnny LeMaster’s turn and his reception was decidedly…mixed. He seemed to enjoy the boos as much as the cheers.

Wouldn’t hold your breath for a reunion where a certain recent relief pitcher with the initials AB would be present. I vowed never to speak or type the name again. He was the one player who my stomach would hurt- really, it would, when he entered a game. No kidding.

Or, a starting pitcher currently on the roster with the initials BZ. WOuldn’t wait for that, either.

Is that the same relief pitcher who Toronto recalled for last night’s game and gave up a home run on his first pitch?

Home run on the first pitch? Yup. That be him.
Hasn’t changed a bit.

Cubs fan poll during the game tonight. What is your favorite Cubs uniform?

48% Home Pinstripes
44% Alternate Blue
8% Road Grey

44% blue? im guessing no UWers participated in that poll

can someone tell me why the FUCK heilman was brought into a tie game?

claudio vargas is NOT amused

I think “Heilman” is German for “horseshit.”

48% Home Pinstripes
44% Alternate Blue
8% Road Grey

And those Iowa State uniforms? Phhhffit.

On an Equipment Related note, Tony Peterson of the Dallas Stars wears an insulin pump under his jersey. CBC just said that he’s one of 3 NHL’ers who wears one.
