These are blue and not purple right? I'm not seeing incorrectly? Regardless, it definitely doesn't match the purple of the hats and belts (nor the logos nor the merch). I have to assume this is UA not being able to produce the purple because the team did tweet something a while back about ordering purple jerseys.

The Riders will apparently have a fourth jersey in the rotation this season which will have three shades of green and use the logo that the team trademarked a couple years ago. Not the official logo, but a colouring of the black and white logo found in the trademark application. Per this article, the jersey, helmet and socks will all be the dark green.

I definitely think there could be something there, taking from something like these. It would fit the old-time hockey feel. I've always thought the (New York) Jets should have branded around something like this but with vintage travel posters instead.

As a non-watcher of this league, but still reads through this thread because I'm morbidly intrigued by the stories of the spring football boom and bust cycle (Will this be the one to finally work? Who knows?), it does seem like a mistake in going to existing NFL markets. I understand it's a bit of a catch-22 of sorts of wanting to be in major markets in order to be considered "major league" and getting major league tv deals, but it doesn't seem like a great plan to be a lesser, professional and unrelated, football team in current NFL markets.

Yeah, the LDS officially ended the practice of polygamy back in 1890 and then the church leader disavowed polygamy before Congress in 1904. Sects of Mormon fundamentalism, most prominently the FLDS, still practice polygamy but they aren't part of LDS proper.

Summer Collegiate Okotoks Dawgs unveil what they are calling City Town Connect jerseys. It's an all-black version of their existing alternate jersey of a couple years, which I already wasn't a huge fan of, and I guess that hat is supposed to be a D in a wildly mismatching font? Really feels like they saw the Reds City Connects and said "we could make that work".

"Hello, Howler. Come and play with us. Come and play with us, Howler. Forever... and ever... and ever."

Not to make this thread even hotter with nothing new, what's everyone's thoughts on this logo that came with the new Jets set of logos? I want to like it and I think it's clever but it might just be too minimalist?

I was just looking through the online shop, and while I'll wait until closer to the season for the dust to settle and potentially more options to show up to actually buy things, I'm second guessing which items are new and which are throwbacks from previous years.

Another name I could potentially like would be the Utah Raptors because a Utahraptor is an actual dinosaur... but that just ends up with the same issues as Grizzlies with a different NBA team.

While I was never as anti-previous Jets set as some people, they definitely became dated very quickly while these new old ones are classic football uniforms. Here's the rest of the logo slick.

It's weird seeing some of the discourse this is stirring up. People crying "but Auston Matthews" and "will someone think of the women and children...'s hockey programs". There's only so much money loss people can take. There have been some positives in terms of grassroots efforts with the Coyotes but it's like people have forgotten (or just aren't aware) about just how moribund of a franchise Coyotes have been for their existence.

The person who posted those Jets jerseys on the subreddit said in the comments that they created the graphic based on what they were told about the uniforms and also created the various combinations themselves just to show off everything and fill out the graphic. Neither the combos nor the graphic are official. This is what else they said.

From Friedman, the NHL and the Arizona Coyotes are preparing for the possibility of a move to Utah as soon as April 18, multiple sources confirmed Wednesday.

I seem to recall that somebody here found an old article that made an off-hand mention of the rule coming in sometime after 2007, so the rule wasn't in place yet.

I think the Angels do and you can see it in these new jerseys where they, for whatever reason though I do have a theory why, added the outlines to the front number but not the back. Maybe it's the fact that the red and blue shades are both dark on a grey jersey making it look drab but I think the white adds a pop to the numbers. Plus now it matches the outlines on the script whereas none of the numbers on the white nor the greys previously ever did. However, now it's only slightly less inconsistent and the red jerseys numbers don't match anymore, so one step forward two steps back. I also think the Reds post-Big Red Machine greys look better with the white outline.

My local summer collegiate team, the Okotoks Dawgs, have their Father's Day game as one of their premiere games along with Opening Day/Weekend and Canada Day.

The brown remains unchanged.

I posted that Hurricanes image in the 24-25 thread before because I didn't know where to put it and mentioned there was someone in the Hurricanes subreddit who said they got the email said it felt more like a concept testing phase with the accompanying questions asking things like "do you like a stylized letter with team colors/concepts like Calgary’s ‘C’ or script words like…"

It's their first Reverse Retro so they probably did do that. Adidas wasn't going to make them anymore but I guess the Flyers felt it was something there was still a market for.

Somebody needs to check out the Houston airport for a vinyl wrapped window. (Am I correctly remembering that's the leak of the previous Jags set?)

Not to derail this thread any more, but it's interesting reading that with what's happening/happened here in Calgary and this new arena. I definitely think Calgary is above a Winnipeg or a Hartford, but definitely below Atlanta (don't know much about the Twin Cities, but I think it might be somewhat equivalent). However, the interesting thing is that I don't think Calgary is truly a die-hard "sports town". The difference here in Calgary is that all the sports teams are under the Flames/CSEC to varying levels of success under CSEC rule (but I'm unsure how CSEC measures success with the non-Flames teams nor what Hollywood accounting might be in place regarding finances) so if the Flames went, there would have been massive ripple effects.

Like I said earlier in this thread, at least I think it was this thread, the relocation of the prior two Atlanta franchises can be argued away if wanted. At the very least, I definitely think it's disingenuous to hold the Flames move against any potential future Atlanta team.
