The new Browns uniforms were a pretty big deal too, but that one may seem bigger to me than it actually was because it involved one of my teams. It was big. We all knew they were getting new logos, but then they slapped us in the face with "the orange being oranger" crap of a logo and those atrocious uniforms. I remember posting about the Browns unveiling and I actually had to wait to post because I was posting way too much during that topic. As I've stated before, I'm not a Browns fan, and I felt betrayed by those uniforms. I HATE seeing them every week and I hope they do switch back to the traditional uniforms whenever they can.

Morgan33 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I remember the Buffaslug saga like it was yesterday because it was how I discovered this forum. I remember being genuinely surprised that people were advocating the return of blue and gold to begin with. I was ten when the so called 'goat-head' was unveiled and thought it was such a massive improvement over the rather simple look that existed before. That being said, nothing could prepare me for the shock that followed the leak of the Slug. I was certain it had to be a joke and remember developing a serious dislike for the Sabres once it was made official. Ottawa beating them in the Conference Finals that year was a victory not only for Canada but for sports aesthetics in general. Can't recall a single re-brand receiving such universal disdain. So definitely the slug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Buffaslug is clearly #1. The Dallas Stars seemed to have another really long thread. I also recall a lot of noise when the Diamondbacks originally dropped the purple/aqua too. The Rams has gotten heated too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire league rebranded and the new (mostly garbage) uniforms dripped out bit by bit. It was a lot to absorb at once. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it seems like most people on here still like it now too. I love it aside from the tapered helmet stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTernup Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The Marlins were the one that I was really excited for and seemed like a HUGE deal on the boards. I joined after Buffaslug though, I'm sure that was insanity.

DTConcepts Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I joined after the Buffaslug and all that, so I can't speak on it.The one I remember pretty well was the insanity that preceded/succeeded the Clippers rebrand.

Old School Fool Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I don't think I've ever seen anything get hate quite like the Buffaslug logo. It's weird because I didn't hate the logo but I didn't like it either. I felt like anything was better than the stupid "goat head" at that point.

BBTV Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I joined around the time of the Bills navy fiasco, so I've seen a LOT here. The Buffaslug was far and away the biggest fiasco here. The AZ Cards was big too - logo all positive, uniforms mixed - mostly negative. Jags 2010ish (the first move away from the classic set) was big here too. Browns might be the biggest, but per capita I think the Slug takes the gold medal.

Wasn't it Cleveland, Tampa Bay, and Miami who all got new looks that offseason? Jacksonville, Miami, and Minnesota happened in 2013, Tampa Bay changed their uniforms in 2014, and Cleveland's uniforms were unveiled in 2015.

Cosmic Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I don't remember the slug unveiling, but the Bucs' one was very memorable to me. I don't think anyone had any idea that it was coming, and then we had like two days notice that a beloved look was going to be trashed. And, of course, those uniforms were very (to be kind) "cutting edge". It gave us a lot to talk about. What's that weird shadow? They have random black spray paint marks on the helmet!?!? @wildwing64 "pisstake" describes most things the Sabres have done in the last 10 years. Thank you for that description.

The forums almost crashed. That's amazing given the number of people that have joined since then. I do recall that being a really, really big day here. That was a long time ago so I don't recall? Did they avoid any leaks? Maybe that's why we were all on...most big things since then have had leaks, leading us to trickle into the discussion. Or maybe not.
