  1. Golden what? Hurricane? Eagles? Knights? Flashes?
  2. Understood and agreed. My perception of "burgundy" could be totally different that someone else's. Someone else could think the current color is more burgundy. Members of my immediate family attend, or have attended, Lafayette, Washington College in Chestertown, MD and South Carolina. All three use Pantone 202C as their red(dish) color, but Lafayette and Washington College call it maroon while South Carolina calls it garnet. Boston College calls it cardinal. It also doesn't help that teams and colleges occasionally change the specifications while keeping the name the same. Washington College used Pantone 187C as its maroon until 2016. Mississippi State uses Pantone 505C as its maroon now but used 202C until 2009. Okay, I'm done preaching to the choir now.
  3. Thanks for finding this. For the record, in my opinion, the old color looks more what I think of as burgundy than the post -1969 colors.
  4. I always thought the team has always called its red(dish) color burgundy even though the actual color changed when Lombardi came to town. However, Trucolor refers to the pre-1969 color(s) as maroon and the post-1969 color(s) as burgundy. I've never heard anyone else refer to any Washington uniforms as being maroon. Not to Washjack this thread, but does anyone have any insight on this.
  5. It reminds me of comparing the pre-Lombardi (Commanders) to the Lombardi (Commanders) . . . except that was intentional (or at least Lombardi didn't care that the new color didn't match the old one). EDIT -- The board automatically replaced the team name that I typed with (Commanders). Interesting.
  6. This graphic really shows the color issue. Just at first glance, the uniforms look more red than plum/maroon. Then, when you look at the places where the uniform images touch (or at nearly touch) the helmet, you can really see the difference in color.
  7. I didn't click through to view the graphic. However, my understanding is that CFG Bank Arena management specifically prioritizes concerts over minor league sports, so there would be limited weekend dates available there.
  8. Thanks for this summary. The ship rendering is the one thing about the rebrand that bothers me, but I couldn't quite articulate why. To me, it looks more like a destroyer (see below). The hint of crosshairs created by the compass marks adds to the impresssion, almost as if the viewer is looking through a periscope.
  9. Thank you for the belated confirmation. That is pretty much how I always viewed it. When they switched to grey road uniforms, there wasn't a hint of powder blue left.
  10. Helluva game. I watched from early in the fourth quarter through OT in a bar, so I couldn't follow the discussion on the disallowed goal in real time. Once I got to read and watch video later, it looked like the correct call under that rule. There was nothing on any video that I saw to suggest the shooter was pushed or forced into the goal mouth by a Maryland player.
  11. Muhlenberg College used to call its men's teams the Mules and its women's team the Jennies (a Jenny being a female mule). However, from looking at their website, it looks like both teams are now just the Mules. https://muhlenbergsports.com/news/2024/2/14/womens-basketball-ends-on-winning-note.aspx
  12. I'm not about to go this far. However, I've watched a fair number of matches online (and previously as part of my cable package) and it is pretty fun to watch. Maybe if I get a chance to catch a game in person my opinion may grow stronger. Unfortunately, the nearest team to me is the DC Breeze, who play about an a hour away.
  13. And Gothamite nowhere to be seen.
  14. Is the green jersey supposed to show the Northern Lights?
  15. For starters, the Mets pinstripes and racing stripe were never perpendicular to each other. It's just weird to see them that way.
