  1. Unfinished is a good way to put it. I like them well enough but feel a bit disappointed and I can't quite put my finger on it. I was hoping they'd feel more like the Brewers recent re-brand where it felt like a great update on their traditional look. This just isn't quite that. The road pinstripes are nice, but everything else is a bit underwhelming. I also wish the cream alternates had some red in the uniform and am not a fan of the mono colored TC logo.
  2. It seems to me sports these days have more of an issue drawing casual fans rather than one specific generation of fans (although this probably effects younger generations more since younger fans aren't as established in their viewing habits). Part of it is just the fact the media landscape is more fragmented and there are more entertainment options now so everyone isn't gathering to watch sporting events as much as they used to. As a result, there's less incentive for people who don't follow the sport as closely to go out of their way to watch, never mind pay for whatever cable/streaming package they need, since it's less of a communal thing people are talking about. The other issue is the way the games are distributed and the high pricing of anything related to pro sports. New fans these days aren't flipping channels and happening upon games and organically becoming fans like they used since no one has cable. They also aren't going to pay $30 a month for the new NESN or whatever RSN streaming service just to follow a team or sport they don't already. Something like this new MLS deal (or the NHL's current situation with ESPN+ but without local blackouts) could be the future as it helps put the games in front of viewers who might not typically watch through apps they have anyways.
  3. These are probably my favorite City Connect uniforms unveiled so far. The only thing I don't really like is the yellow patch. I get what they're going for but it just doesn't look good in my opinion. I feel like these work better than some of the other City Connect uniforms since the design isn't as traditional. A lot of the other uniforms try to force non-traditional elements alongside more traditional elements and they don't jell well together.
  4. Not a fan of those Edge uniforms but I did like the navy and copper set that preceded them. I definitely prefer the below to their current navy and orange uniforms.
  5. That's pretty much my feeling too. The new black kit is pretty meh in my mind not bad per se but it doesn't really have enough personality to merit calling it good either. I guess some people like the black due to the "Minnesota black and blue" chat, but at this point I'd say gray should be the team's home color and it'd be nice if they committed to incorporating the wing into their home kits.
  6. I feel like this version makes more sense since the web is usually the same color as the rest of the glove. That said I somewhat prefer the original version.
  7. Generally speaking, you're either a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan. There really aren't too many people who are serious fans of both teams. Lots of diehard fans may follow both teams, but they don't typically root for both. It seems most Sox fans hate the Cubs, and Cubs fans either hate the Sox or are indifferent towards them. Sox fans tend to have stronger feeling against the Cubs due to the disparity in media coverage between the two teams as well as the overall dynamic between the South Side and North Side.
  8. I like the look of this jersey. I just don't like it as a Celtics uniform since it feels like a big downgrade from their traditional uniform.
  9. Why? I could see being indifferent towards ads on jerseys, which would be an odd opinion for someone on here, but why look forward to it. It's just going to make the uniforms look worse.
