I know how it is sometimes. You’re in a hurry, your ride’s waiting, perhaps it’s just minutes to tee time. You start grabbing clothes. Whatever gets in your way, you wear. Does it match? No idea. Better than golfing naked, especially if you get to golf in this outfit. Classy.
Anyway, Anthony Kim wants to make sure the stuff you grab on your way out the door isn’t his. He could have gone garish, but instead chose subtle. Well, compared to this, at least. — Bryan

I know it’s been said here before, but those Powder Blue Toronto throwbacks sure look great (especially compared to their usual eyesores).
Those things should not be worn at home, though.

The white leater belt with the truck driver sized belt buckle makes the outfit work.

I actually kind of like the American’s shirts this year…maybe its the argyle?
#4 by Mark W on 09.20.08 9:45 am |
Saturday advantage – Europe. US combo looks dated, Euro is contemporary. Like the Euro shorts especially.
Sorry – disagree on the argyle. And white belts are a fashion statement I will never make. Especially bad with the blingy trucker buckle.

You reread before posting and it all reads fine. Then you see it posted and “what the ??? “Meant “shirts” not “shorts” in last post.

Newcastle vs. West Ham (English Premier League for those who don’t know)…
As mentioned before, West Ham’s jersey sponsor went bankrupt and couldn’t pay their fees the other week, so last week, West Ham went sponsorless, covering up the logo with the color on the jersey (which is officially called claret, but looks like a shade of maroon). This week, they’re going with a white rectangle with the player’s number to cover up the jersey sponsor.
It looks bad.
It makes me wonder why Umbro (the jersey manufacturer for West Ham) can’t quickly make 60 jerseys or so without a sponsor.
Also, I’m having issues with trying to purchase a West Ham jersey from their official website (which could just be me, but I wonder if it’s because they don’t know what to do at the moment).

Anthony here is the story off the West Ham website and the problem they are having for sponsorship/charity work.

Thanks, Jeremy.
I’m just saying that the number on the front could be done a lot better than a white square with a black number in a generic font. That’s all. :)

The belt buckle TOTALLY makes the outfit work, but I think this one would have been the way to go.

However, I didn’t think West Ham looked THAT bad.

Watching the Bama at Arkansas game and I will go out on a limb here and say that the Hogs jersey isnt that bad when the players have pads on. Granted the guys with last names longer than 4 or 5 letter have their nameplate go over the apron strings but its not as bad as it looked on Paul’s article.

The Buffalo Sabres unveiled their third jersey today. It looks very familiar, essentially their old road uniform from the Sabre-and-crossed-sword days, only with the new colours.
#15 by Jonee on 09.20.08 2:15 pm |
Is Bryan being sarcastic again? I can’t tell with this one. I do like the white belt-big belt buckle combo. The shirts remind me a little of early 80’s Ivan Lendl.

Anyone else notice that the purple sides on East Carolina’s away jersey’s doesn’t match the stripe on their pants? The jersey has purple, while the pants have purple and gold.
Yeah, little things like that do irritate me, lol.

Arizona Wildcats wearing red pants with the white jerseys and blue helmets. As announcer Barry Tompkins put it, “bringing the red pants out of mothballs for the first time in 20 years. Maybe we’ll see Chuck Cecil and Tedy Bruschi out on the field today.”

Ugh. Tim McCarver’s droning on about how good it is to see the Budweiser ad on the rooftop across from Wrigley field because “it’s been tarped for the last two months.”
A) No, Tim, it’s been tarped for about a week.
B) He prefaced his comment by saying that it wasn’t a promo for Budeweiser even though they’ve been sponsoring baseball on Fox for years along with many other sporting events. Nope, not a promo at all.

The Sabres’ jersey’s are great other than the awful and point armpit crap. Why the random corsett piping and why the grey pit stain? I understand contemporary style sometimes strays into the abstract but do we really need to add elements like that?

Anyone else notice that all the refs in the college games today have what looks like adidas logos on the sides of their hats? I’ve seen it in both a Pac-10 game and in an ACC game, so it can’t be a conference thing . . . haven’t noticed it before this week though.

Yeah, they don’t look so bad. I actually prefer to watch the Razorbacks with the white pants as opposed to the atrocity it was in the first game when they wore red pants. They haven’t played on the road yet, so I’m interested to see how those look.
However, if they played a little better, it would make it easier to watch. I digress.
Watching the Cubs game at the moment and I heard the comment made by McCarver. That proves my point that Timmy should do a little more homework before he speaks.

Uggggh sabres…
darkening uniforms is so 1997, why is it still happening. Royal blue is so much aesthetically appealing Vertical piping on a hockey sweater still should be a nono. What’s this silver armpit thing?? It’s amazing they can make that logo that oversized with those superfluous shoulder numbers. My biggest peeve is that the pants don’t have vertical striping. I always LOVED the vertical striping on those old sabres uniforms. At least it doesnt have a slug on it.

i can’t tell if the sabres thirds have those great old blue socks with multiple thin stripes. I always liked how they had more than the typical 3 stripe design.

Speaking of adidas, they are now back in the racquet business. They made wood frames in the 70’s and composite’s in the 80’s but then dropped out. Their wood “Nastase Competition” I tried desperately to find, but never could. No internet back then, y’see.

Many Rays were wearing 9=8 (a year-long team motto stating 9 players together will make you a post-season team) shirts and caps for clinching post-season. Actually, it’s not a bad concept since things like Wild Card Champions seems a little lame and God forbid there isn’t some kind of commemorative for every accomplishment.
Only problem I see with 9=8 is that the Rays are an American League team.

The Longhorns’ unis look especially sweet this year–their nameplates are really well-integrated into the jersey. They’re also mesh nameplates to match the jersey.
