I agree with this, but I'd reverse what I tolerate. I dislike the yellow pants with the white jerseys, but I think they look particularly bad with the red jerseys. Maybe not "bad" as much as "not right." It might be partly because growing up, the Redskins' red jerseys only appeared thrice a year if you were lucky. And it was always a treat when you saw the red jerseys over white pants. I loved when they finally went red at home in the last decade. Even though we see the red jerseys 9-10 times a year now, it's not the same with the yellow. Meanwhile, I was tired of seeing the Redskins in the white jerseys anyway, so it's not like them wearing yellow pants with them ruins what would otherwise be a "rare" great look. That being said, the Redskins looked better in every way ten years ago. The yellow pants suck and the Nike switch really did a disservice to their uniforms.

Take it back a step. Instead of mirroring the white pants, leave purple in the middle and swap the black and white. That would allow the purple to "show" more instead of fading into the black. This is what they wore their second season: But wear them with these socks: Or, better yet, add thin metallic gold striping/piping around the purple stripe on both sets of pants (and the socks) to further distinguish things.

They wore those blue pants on the road as recently as 1986, so they used the spare ones as practice pants into the '90s. If they reversed the red and white, then made the center stripe proportionately thicker to match the sleeve stripes, those pants would have looked great on the road. I always felt the road look of that set was lacking. Too little blue.

Like 95% of the Phoenix area, I haven't paid attention to the Coyotes this year. I have a few questions. 1) Has Scott played well this year? 2) Why would Montreal trade for him just to stick him in the minors? 3) Is he still in the minors? Will he play in the ASG and go back to the minors?

And not just the White Sox, but the Athletics, too. The A's changed almost as much, although they stuck with the same color scheme outside of their Kansas City years, I believe. It's good that both teams found classic looks, but both have been chipping away at them with the A's adding a few alternates, using three different road caps that were worse than the home, and now mismatching their helmets on the road. And of course, the Sox messed up sleeve patch and then the pants stripes on the road. Both teams are almost like alcoholics who have been doing well lately. 25 years sober, but you feel like soon one will fall off the wagon and come out with something Diamondbackian.

I'm not sure that's an unpopular opinion. They gained fame in the last decade when the fad became wearing throwbacks that were ugly or gaudy. My generation loves them because they were born in that era, but outside of a few dopes, Sox fans don't want those back.

Ah, I miss MVP 05. I got heavy into playing the modded computer game and even made a few uniforms. Is anybody still actively modding for that game?

If they want to tag along with the Suns on their eventual new arena, that's fine. Otherwise, get the hell out.

NCAA Football from 2002 or so until 2005 messed up Illinois' colors. The school had an issue of using multiple shades of orange and blue. One combo which showed up frequently on merchandise was a tangerine orange and a faded navy (close to the shade the Braves use in branding but don't wear on the field). Despite various shades showing up in branding, Illinois had consistently used a dark navy and a bright orange for all athletic teams. For reference, here is the incorrect color scheme which didn't stop showing up on merchandise until two years ago: For some reason, EA accurately created Illinois' uniforms with the correct striping and everything. But then they changed the colors to match the colors from the logos, which the university hadn't bothered to correct. It was maddening because clearly somebody looked at the actual uniforms to create them, but decided to change the colors anyway. It would be like if a videogame changed the Lakers jerseys to use the pastel purple from their court. For some reason, when Illinois changed its uniforms to wrap-around Nike crap in 2006, EA started using the correct colors on the uniforms.

In the more general outcome of him not being tried but having a cloud hanging over his head, no. But I expected it would end more like the Jameis Winston case, with the DA not filing charges and the accuser adamantly pressing on and declaring his guilt. I guess this is the best resolution for all, short of the accuser saying "jk I made it up, LOLZ!"

Yeah, that's nasty. I mean, they make cookie dough without eggs so you can eat it raw, but even that needs to be refrigerated. I'm thinking there were more sinister things going on.

Like pieces of a Lou Malnati's pizza in my midst, those never last.I finally had Lou Malnati's on Friday. It was glorious. It was halfway cold by the time I got it home, but it was still well worth the wait. The location I went to is only carry-out, so I might stoop to picking up a pizza and eating it in in the parking lot at some point.

Yeah, I can't imagine it would be nearly as good as the locations in Chicago. RE: Combos - the food of the Gods. A Portillo's combo, dipped with giardiniera and mozzarella is incredible, but something I'm lucky to get once a year. I've never been big on meatballs, for some reason, and the physical makeup of a sausage and meatballs sandwich sounds too cumbersome to eat. If you've got to eat it with a fork, it's not a sandwich. As for Aurelio's green peppers, that sounds interesting. I'm not huge on green peppers on pizza, but I'd like to try that. And of course, you've got to add the fresh garlic.

You know, I agree. There is something to this. I love the Mets' current set, but something is off about the gray jersey. Unless it's a straight-on camera shot of a player remaining relatively still, the jersey looks washed out. The orange and blue both look muted, like they're much lighter than the Mets' actual colors. They never have that issue on the home jerseys. I don't know why they have that issue, as I believe all teams use the same gray now. I don't remember the Giants' or Astros' orange outlines every looking washed out on the road sets. And I don't think it's something with the lighting in Dodger Stadium in particular, because I remember seeing part of a Mets daygame at Wrigley and thinking the same thing about the colors looking washed out.

Beggar's is really good but probably not great. I never was impressed with Aurelios. To me, there's half a dozen local places in any town which make the same pizza.
