Of Uniform Numbers — and Letters

By Paul Lukas, on October 15th, 2007%

The e-mails started arriving at Uni Watch HQ right after the end of Saturday’s Kentucky/LSU game. While the rest of the country was buzzing about Kentucky’s upset victory, Uni Watch readers were puzzling over something that had briefly appeared on their TV screens. Of the dozen or so readers who got in touch, . . . → Read More: Of Uniform Numbers — and Letters

Monday Morning Uni Watch

By Paul Lukas, on October 8th, 2007%

The big uni-related news in the NFL yesterday had nothing to do with the players. It was the pink ribbons being worn by most coaches, owners, and other sideline personnel (although a few coaches went ribbon-free, including one guy who obviously didn’t want a ribbon messing up his carefully manicured look). The officials . . . → Read More: Monday Morning Uni Watch

By Paul Lukas, on August 13th, 2007%

Now that the first slate of NFL preseason games has been played, a few new developments have come to light (aside from those green dots on QBs’ helmets, which we’ve already discussed at length). Let’s take a look:

Got two interesting notes over the weekend, both of which call for reader input. The first came from Ryan Burns, as follows:

I’m going to be president of my local lacrosse officials’ association next year. One of the common complaints is about our uniform. The uniform is black shoes, white socks with black . . . → Read More: So This Zebra Walks ~~into a Bar~~ onto a Lacrosse Field

With all these crazy cold-weather games that have been going on, I’ve found myself wondering, “Who the hell would go to a ballgame under these conditions?” I mean, I can sort of understand if it’s Opening Day, but who would bother to show up at the ballpark for a game when the temperature’s . . . → Read More: Tough Day for the Ice Cream Vendor

Who Loves the Sun / Who Cares That It Makes Plants Grow…

By Paul Lukas, on March 12th, 2007%

Last Friday I asked about unusual instances of athletes wearing sunglasses. The very next day — the very next day! — the sunglass gods dumped something into my lap: Yankees pitcher Kei Igawa took the mound wearing shades. According to this article (generously brought to my attention by reader Tessa Trego), Igawa isn’t . . . → Read More: Who Loves the Sun / Who Cares That It Makes Plants Grow…

All Day I Dream About Soccer Sex Stripes

By Paul Lukas, on February 19th, 2007%

For the most part I don’t get too bent out of shape about Adidas’s three stripes. I mean, I like stripes.
