Meet Jason Hillyer and Alison Cherubini. They got hitched last Friday, and I’m proud to say Uni Watch had a small role in the proceedings. It began eight days before the wedding, when I got the following note from Allison:
I am engaged to be married next Friday, August 8th. It’s traditional for the bride and groom to buy one another a gift for the wedding, right? Well the only thing my fiancé wants (and is asking for) is a membership to your site and the membership card that goes with it.
He had a letter all typed up to send to you, but I confiscated it so that I could send it in on his behalf. I don’t have a PayPal account, so I am going to mail in his letter with a check for $15 per your site, for the membership fee. I don’t know if it’s possible for you to start creating the card before actually receiving the payment, but any kind of “rush” you can put on this order would be GREATLY appreciated!
Alison had retyped Jason’s membership card request, which concluded with the following note: “Have you noticed on Cheers that the producers made a mistake with Sam’s uniform when he pitched against Dutch Kincade at Yankee Stadium? They had him wearing a home ‘Red Sox’ jersey. And they had Kevin McHale in road greens after a home game in the [Boston] Garden. Just something I noticed.”
Clearly, Jason was our kinda guy.
Alison included her phone number, so I called her up and assured her that Scott and I would get cracking right away and do our best to have a laminated Uni Watch membership card in her hands in time for the wedding. The only tricky part was that Scott was about to go on a three-day trip and has also been busy with a family matter, so I couldn’t be positive he’d have time to design the card in the allotted time window, but he said he’d try.
As it turned out, Scott got the digital files to me two days before the wedding. I got them printed that afternoon, trimmed and laminated Jason’s card, and FedExed it to Alison so she’d receive it the day before her nuptials. The whole thing was fun, and Scott and I enjoyed participating, if just barely, in Alison and Jason’s happy event. At one point on Friday I thought of them and hoped all had gone as planned.
And I figured that was that. But on Sunday — two days after the wedding, when I figured Alison and Jason would be busy honeymooning — I got another note from Alison: “The card arrived Thursday morning, in plenty of time for our gift exchange Thursday evening after our rehearsal. He was REALLY excited, and the card looks perfect. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate he rush you put on it to get it to me on time.” Awwwwww. Isn’t that nice?
So I figured THAT was that. But yesterday I got a thank-you note from Jason, along with the photo shown above. He also included the following: “P.S. While watching SportsCenter Saturday morning, I noticed that Manuel had a blue button on top of his cap while the rest of the team wore caps with the orange button. (Sorry, no pic.)” About 25 minutes later he sent me another note, pointing out that this huddle format, used primarily by the Chiefs, was also used by the Browns. Like I said, our kinda guy.
Congrats, A + J, and thanks for the contact high.
Meanwhile: New ESPN column today — here’s the link.
Raffle Results: The winner of the 1996 Olympics banner is Mike Rempt. Congrats to him, and thanks to all who entered. More raffles coming soon.
Vacation Reminder: I’m heading off to Oregon later today. My original plan was to shut down the site while I was away, but Bryan volunteered to mind the store, so he’ll be running the site through next Wednesday (and maybe longer, depending on how much piled-up crap I have to deal with when I get back home). All e-mails sent to the usual Uni Watch address will automatically be forwarded to him, so feel free to continue contributing Ticker material. Please behave while I’m gone, make me proud, blah-blah-blah. Thanks.
One thing Bryan will not be covering, by the way, is the Little League World Series. Little League is great, but the level of media attention that’s focused on the LLWS every year is a disgrace. It’s bad for the kids who are playing, bad for kids who are watching, bad for sports. I refuse to participate in it, and Bryan has agreed to respect my boycott.
And for those of you in the Pacific northwest, remember, you can meet Jeremy Brahm (and also Rob Neyer, and also-also me) this Sunday, 2pm, at Kay’s. For all you Nike employees reading this — and I know there are many of you — we’ll reserve a special table just for you.
Uni Watch News Ticker: Thanks to the miracles of the Adidas marketing department modern technology, the names of 100,000 rugby fans will be printed onto a single thread that will be sewn into a special All Blacks jersey. Details here (with thanks to Caleb Borchers). … Reprinted from yesterday’s comments: Chad Johnson wants to legally change his surname to Ocho Cinco, which means he could wear this without being fined. … Nicole Haase reports that the Brewers’ victory-slob look has led to one of history’s most annoying web sites (turn down your volume before clicking, trust me). … A huge trove of boxing memorabilia has been willed to Brooklyn College. Details here, and there’s a slideshow here. … A few days ago I mentioned that I became a 49ers fan after pulling a Ken Willard 3-D football card out of a box of cereal back when I was six years old. I no longer have the card (as I recall, the 3-D coating cracked, which was a problem with that kind of card), but Ronnie Poore found one on the web. Look at that chiseled jaw, that fearsome pose — how could anyone not become a Niners fan after seeing that? … Ronnie also pointed me toward this page of North Dakota State pics, including some nice baseball, football, hockey, and beanie shots. … For those who like to follow every little thing I write, I had this on Page 2 yesterday. … Yesterday I suggested that the dark jersey in this photo must have been a prototype. But then Mike Hersh (subject of yesterday’s lead item, coincidentally) pointed me toward this, which appears to show the white/home version of the same design, complete with the “Seals” lettering, so this style must have seen at least a bit of on-ice action. … Goose Gossage apparently never liked the bullpen car (thanks, Vince). … For those who enjoyed yesterday’s bar and diner photos from my recent upstate road trip, my friends Jon and Karen have posted their own pics from the trip — many of them truly gorgeous — here. … Reprinted from yesterday’s comments: Yesterday I asked what the ref was holding in this shot. That led RP Burke to post the following: “The referee is holding the ‘down box,’ the predecessor of the sideline stake that shows the number of the down and the yard line of the snap. Each of the four sides of the box has a number — 1, 2, 3, or 4 — and the number facing the field is that of the down. Officiating mechanics have long since moved the ‘box’ (which is what officials usually call it, even though no one has used an actual box in probably 40 years), off the field.” … “I know Nick Punto doesn’t get on base very often,” says Jake Melbye, “but somebody needs to tell him to take off his shin guard when it happens.” … New logo for Western Carolina. … OK, that’s it for me. See you in a week or so.

Interesting note with this photo: http://www.lib.ndsu....
The goalie on the right has the conference written on his pads. Odd.
And did pitchers used to wear different color uniforms like a goalie in soccer? judging from the P on this guy’s jacket, they must have done so at some point, at least on that team.

What would happen if Chad Johnson changed to “Ocho Cinco” and was traded to the Rams? 85 is retired by them….would he have to legal change his name again?

The beanie shot reminded me of a story from my Dad. He entered college as a returning vet after fighting in the Philippines, and was given a beanie as an incoming freshman. He and the other vets refused to wear them and be subjected to hazing from some “20 year old upper classman”. After a discussion with the dean about the “silly-ass” beanies and hazing, the vets weren’t required to wear them.
RIP Dad.

Sweet story on the wedding-gift membership card. Almost makes up for all the boring football uni talk.
#10 by Robert on 08.14.08 9:33 am |
I was previously indifferent about the Brew Crew’s battle for the NL Central, but after reviewing the “untuckem” website, I have no choice but to wish failure on them. Dreadful.
#11 by Happy Joe on 08.14.08 9:37 am |
Couldn’t agree more with Paul’s boycott of the LLWS. It is too much exposure and too much pressure on kids who aren’t mature enough to handle it.
Plus, it just gives the uniform manufacturers another excuse to come up with new and more garish color combinations each year.
#12 by Phil Pereira on 08.14.08 9:48 am |
I hope Chad changes his name because it’ll be wrong. “ocho cinco” is just “eight five,” not eighty five.
If you’re going to try using another language, try and do it right! lol
#13 by scott on 08.14.08 9:49 am |
The only thing worse than the overexposure of Little League baseball is the complaints about the overexposure.
#14 by Elena on 08.14.08 9:51 am |
I agree that the Brewers untucking is reason enough to want them to lose. I would have been happy to have them knock out the Cubs, but it’s hard to root for a team like that. Buncha hot dogs.
#15 by Philly Al in NoCal on 08.14.08 9:52 am |
UCLA also used that huddle format. As did the 1968 St. Benedict’s CYO team I coached to the Germantown District Championship.
#16 by chance on 08.14.08 9:54 am |
More likely, I think, is that it’s an old team sweater. It’s not common to see players from that era wearing outdated uniforms in team photos - uniform concerns were less meticulous then.
#17 by chance on 08.14.08 9:54 am |
I said it yesterday, but if he does this, then I hope the Bengals trade him to the Rams.
#18 by Nicole on 08.14.08 9:55 am |
NOOOOO
Hate the stupid, money-grubbing fans who made the site, don’t hate the team!
#19 by chance on 08.14.08 9:56 am |
I hate it when they do it, but I don’t think it can ever be described as hot dogging.
If it was one player doing it to draw attention to himself or individual accomplishments, I’d agree. But the Brewers do this as a team, as a gesture of team unity. That’s admirable, even if the result is ugly.
#20 by Jet on 08.14.08 10:01 am |
I still maintain those Oakland Seals jerseys with the wordmark were a prototype and perhaps used in some pre-season games (hence explaining that one action shot) before opting for the style sans wordmark.
Hard to prove exactly because in the early years of the first expansion, the far west teams, Oakland and the Los Angeles Kings, were like barren outposts, cut off from the rest of the hockey world. It was always tough for the remainder of the east coast cities to get any info or pictures of games from the west coast (which was part of the allure of becoming a Seals fan living in NY)…

One of the great logo travesties has been corrected. Thank you, to Western Carolina for changing it. The new logo isnt great, but it’s a marked improvement of the last dreck you had!!!
#23 by Jet on 08.14.08 10:15 am |
I’ve still got my California Golden Seals patch from back then, and I’ve seen the Flames and North Stars ones before, but the Washington Capitals one is a new one on me!!! Didn’t think they were still making those by the time the Caps came into the league in 1974, which now has me wondering if they also make a Kansas City Scouts one!!! That Caps one has gotta be considered rare…

I don’t get the whole untuckem thing. Manny has been doing it for years, and so has Orlando Cabrera. Much ado about nothing.
#26 by LI Phil on 08.14.08 10:19 am |
gotta agree with nicole here…there’s a story behind the ‘untuckem’ trend, and it basically began with mike cameron (overall great guy) and his tribute to his dad…we had some discussion on this i wanna say about a month ago (search feature is no working, and i don’t have time to dig thru the archives — maybe nicole can help)…
while i hate the look, there is at least a good reason for it
hate on the website and those who produced it (awful, awful ‘music’ — thanks for the heads up on the volume paul)…but, since the crew and my mets may be battling for the NL wild card on september 20, i’ll reserve my ‘hate’ until we’re down to the final week ;)

Paul, your knowledge is incredible. I loved 5-pin bowling as a kid & had no idea that it existing only in Canada. What a great country.
#29 by Teebz on 08.14.08 10:31 am |
Good catch, Mike. I had never seen them worn in a game. However, here’s a photo of Bill Hicke who played for the Seals in that opening season, and he never wore the “Seals” moniker across his chest, as seen here. Hicke and Bob Baun, who you have in your picture, were teammates that season. Charlie Hodge, featured on this page, doesn’t have it either, and he was their starting goaltender that season in 58 games.
If those Seals jerseys were worn officially in the NHL, they didn’t last very long. Maybe they “test drove” them during the pre-season?

#35 by Jet on 08.14.08 11:00 am |
Nice! The ad says its from the 60’s but I’m pretty sure these didn’t begin appearing until the early 70’s because the Seals one had the green/gold colors which they began wearing in 70-71. These patches appeared in the stores all at once, I’m fairly sure they weren’t a phenomenon that started in the 60’s, gradually adding more teams as they went along. Plus they had the Atlanta Flames who came into the league in 1972. I’m still surprised about that Capitals one, but my guess would be that these began appearing in 1972-73…
-Jet
#36 by Bryan Redemske on 08.14.08 11:04 am |
On the Brewers … the untucking thing, while dumb, is at least after the game is over. Ben Sheets, Prince Fielder, CC Sabathia, Eric Gagne … hell, pretty much all of them … look like crap during the game, which is far more offensive.
#37 by Jet on 08.14.08 11:05 am |
That’s my contention Teebz, I pretty much lived and breathed Seals hockey as a kid (from 3000 miles away) and those pics with the wordmark have always been very rare

Quick pareidolic note on the USA men’s basketball team picture referenced in the espn article.
Does anybody else see an upside down swoosh formed in the curtains/empty space around the players? Start at Coach K’s shoulder, then go up and over Howard’s head and down the line. Kind of like this:

Seals went to green and gold after Finley bought them, right?

#40 by Teebz on 08.14.08 11:16 am |
I had never seen them before in my life, Jet. Granted, I wasn’t around until the WHA merge, but I’ve tried to learn about as much of the game as I can, and I had never seen them before. Just goes to show you that history is always fascinating. :o)
#41 by mmwatkin on 08.14.08 11:16 am |
Alright…I’ll bite.
Why should silver better than gold in the olympics?
#42 by Teebz on 08.14.08 11:19 am |
Yep. Finley bought them during the 69-70 offseason, and changed their colours to kelly green and gold.

Because gold is chintzy, garish, and lame. And also for suckers.
#46 by Jim on 08.14.08 11:33 am |
I have never seen those ‘SEALS’ unis either. I too, love hockey, the history of hockey, and always try to learn more about the past, present, and future of the game, and the SEALS jerseys are a first for me…. kinda dig them too.
#47 by LI Phil on 08.14.08 11:35 am |
glad that’s solved…who knew?
after the olympics, tho, she can turn pro in her chosen field of javelin tossing and won’t have to resort to modeling anymore
/heartwarming story with a happy ending
#48 by mmwatkin on 08.14.08 11:40 am |
Oh, I thought there might be some sort of statistical or historical significance behind the claim.
But personal opinions are nice to…
#49 by Ricko on 08.14.08 11:40 am |
I used to be a javelin catcher on the pro circuit. Quit, though. Travelling was hell and the tips were, um, painful.
#50 by Bryan Redemske on 08.14.08 11:44 am |
Speaking of javelin catching, this is the incorrect way to do it.
#51 by Ricko on 08.14.08 11:44 am |
Wasn’t it also Finley who changed them from the “Oakland” Seals to the “California Golden” Seals?
#52 by Ricko on 08.14.08 11:48 am |
Well, for one thing, obviously her footwork was terrible. Or maybe just bad hands. I used stickum until the throwers complained. Seems the residual tackiness on the javelins often resulted in the always entertaining but rarely effective “pinwheel” technique.
#53 by ben on 08.14.08 11:49 am |
Right….because Soriano, Zambrano, and Ramirez arent hot dogs at all. That untuckem website isnt affiliated with the Brewers at all! GO BREWERS

#56 by Teebz on 08.14.08 11:52 am |
The name change came due to the change in colours that Finley instituted. But the short answer is “yes”. ;o)
#57 by Ricko on 08.14.08 11:52 am |
Okay, I was digging through my college football clippings last night and found a shot of Alabama wearing gray helmets for a night game at USC in 1971. Anyone know why–beyond the obvious possible attempt to look different from the opposition–they did that?
Chance, this sounds like your area of expertise.

Regarding the Team USA jerseys in the ESPN column:
I heard that Team USA Basketball uniforms have the player names in the same color as the jersey so that they are harder to read while the USA on the front is in bright red on the white and blue jerseys, to promote the idea that they are playing for the name on the front of the jersey not the one on the back. Could just be what they are saying after the fact though.

This’ll give Teebz and others (including me) fits.
My former partner was running the second Fighting Saints (the “New” Fighting Saints, a combo team of old Saints and Cleveland Crusaders). They had changed their colors from royal and yellow-gold to scarlet and yellow-gold (same unis, simply swapped blue and red; I know cuz was my idea). Anyway, the team folded in mid-season of ‘75-’76, I think it was. I was in his office at the old St. Paul Civic Center after the last game. No one around but the two of us, following the news conference announcing the team’s demise. I hung around for awhile and, when I left a bit after midnight, I walked past a brand new white home game-jersey—the red-gold color scheme, a real rarity—hanging on wide open main office door. Absolutely perfect, never been worn. He was way the hell back in his office, and I stood and stared at it for moment or two, thinking I could bag that thing–stuff it into the briefcase I was carrying–and no one would know, or give a damn.
But I left it there and went home.
Think I ever second guess that decision?
#64 by Jet on 08.14.08 12:15 pm |
Yes, you’re giving me fits!!! The scarlet version of the Fighting Saints is quite rare.
What’s even worse is that I was collecting game worn jerseys in the late 70’s when they were more readily available and had several WHA teams as well as a 1967-68 Bert Marshall green Seals jersey with the alternate captain’s “A” …. and sold them all a few years later. Yes, you may plant a boot firmly in my ass….

#68 by Teebz on 08.14.08 12:29 pm |
That would bother me to a great deal as I’d kill for that look, but the Saints only wore the red in their final season in the Twin Cities. Before the 1976-77 season, the Saints swapped from blue road jerseys to red road jerseys before the start of the season.
You can see them on the sister site of NHLuniforms.com called WHAuniforms.com.

76-77? Wasn’t sure. Knew where I was living at the time, but wasn’t sure which season. I can tell u who I had date with later that night, though. LOL
Yeah, I know they switched to red. As I said, it was my idea. I was working on their marketing/advertising. They wanted Saints to be same, but different. If you look closely, the litte Saints guy is altered, too–dark, more detailed updated gloves, among other things–only in the red-gold era. I know, I did the logo changes myself. And the letterhead design, and the game program covers…etc.
This isn’t bragging, btw, really hope u all know that. I’m just trying to pass along details someone might not have known or noticed. And the only source I can quote is me. Cuz I AM the source.

In Firefox, under Tools, go to the Options menu. From there, look for the “Tabs” tab. In there, you can change the radio button for “open in new window” to “open in new tab”.
That should do it. Get ‘er done! :o)

Getting recognized seems to be the biggest hurdle to having an event actually contested in the Games, so I’m not sure what the next step would be.

All ESPN links open in new windows (or new tabs, depending on your browser settings). But if you go ESPN by clicking on a link from another site — including this site right here — then the “new window” links open in the same window for some reason. In other words, you need to read the ESPN column in a fresh “first-view” window, not in a window that jumped from someplace else. So if you link to ESPN from here, just copy/paste the ESPN column’s URL into a new window and then you should be good to go.

I’d rather watch tug of war than golf.

I just remember it sparked on of the biggest UW debates ever and segwayed into a lot of different stuff until it ended up talking about how our kids are fat and they don’t have PE in school anymore. It was all kind of a blurr. Still my favorite debate.

We always used the “KC” style huddle at my High School, except we put the lineman in front and the skill players in the back. I always though it was the best way to do.
The linemen tend to get winded faster, and get to bend over, hands on knees. Also keeps better eye contact with the QB and backs and recievers.
