Have there ever been a worse helmet design match-up than last night’s Fiesta Bowl? Woof. Fortunately, the game featured a few uni-notable aspects: • Boise State wore orange pants for the first time since the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Although the pants had way too many gewgaws, I thought the basic white-over-orange look was . . . → Read More: Guess What Chips I Won’t Be Eating Today?  299 comments - (Comments are closed)  College Football, Footwear, Gloves, Logo Creep, Pants, Sleeves, Undershirts Here’s something I forgot to mention in last Friday’s NBA entry: Players in Saturday’s Suns/Warriors preseason game, which was played outdoors, had official permission to wear long undersleeves — an NBA first.
