MLB Uniform Rankings

Only thing I don't like is they focus too much on logos in the rankings. It's not a logo contest. Eg. Cleveland is ranked last in the AL due to the fact that they wear Chief Wahoo on their caps.

Agree somewhat with the AL, but Houston is too high (above Boston, Toronto) and Cleveland is too low.

NL is pretty bang-on (San Diego, Arizona and Miami lowest).

If you could make the NHL perfect in your world

What would all the teams look like? You don't have to post pics, just a brief description. Home, away, 3rd, logo. Go.

Anaheim: Switch the black in their set to a dark green, and switch the places of orange and gold. Make the webbed D by itself the logo on the front of the unis, and create an 3rd with the duck mask logo.
Boston: Change nothing except make the yellow Winter Classic jersey the 3rd.
Buffalo: Eliminate piping and front numbers, lighten the blue to their original blue. Maybe a navy third with the 2-Sabres-logo from their old red alternate.
Calgary: Go back to the 80-94 set. Make an alternate based on their 03-07 home uni with (red with black trim)
Carolina: Add a little white to the 3rd.
Chicago: Change nothing. Not sure which alternate they're currently using, but I like the Winter Classic black if they're not already using it.
Colorado: Edge-ify the 95-07 set including the maroon 3rd.
Columbus: Create a set based on their current 3rd, using only the dark blue and replacing the light blue with red. Stick the flag logo on the front and the cannon logo on the shoulders. No 3rd.
Dallas: I realize it's hard to edgeify the Star template from the glory days, but try. Utilize green more. Use the logos on the front. Create a black 3rd of some sort.
Detroit: Change nothing.
Edmonton: They finally got it right. Never change again. No 3rd needed.
Florida: Back to the 93-07 template. Beautiful set.
Los Angeles: Eliminate piping. Make the crown the primary with the banner as the shoulder logo (if you must). Use a purple third, either the 02-07 alt or the original forum purple/blue, or both if possible.
Minnesota: Use current 3rd template, add a little red, put wolf/bear head logo on front. Create a white counterpart. Make a red 3rd, with the Minnesota script on front, based on the current home, but with the stripe at the bottom like it used to have.
Montreal: Bring back the white 3rd they used a few years back with the stripe across the chest. Use it maybe 6 times a year.
Nashville: I'm pretty happy with their set, but get rid of the piping. Maybe add a navy third.
New Jersey: Use the gorgeous red 'Christmas' jersey as a full-time 3rd.
New York Rangers: Change nothing.
New York Isles: Leave the home/away alone. Create an orange third, either based on the home/away, or even based on their 07-10 set.
Ottawa: Take the black uni from 2000-07, create a white counterpart. Use the updated 2D Sen head as the primary. Keep the third.
Philadelphia: Change nothing. I don't want a black 3rd. Maybe scratch the white & black nameplates. Not crazy about that.
Phoenix: Add a stripe to the bottom like the 03-07 set had. Incorporate the native striping like the original set had.
Pittsburgh: They could do one of two things. Update the 88-92 set, or bring back the 02-07 set. But, you MUST use athletic gold. Use the baby blue first winter classic uni as the third.
St. Louis: So, so simple St. Louis. You had such a nice set before the current monstrosities, go back to them. I would love a third based  on their original blue uni, specifically the 79-84 one. Use the arch logo on the 3rd.
San Jose: Update the 91-97 set. Eliminate orange. Keep the black third but make it less plain.
Tampa Bay: Take your 3rd, put the 07-11 logo on the front. Create a black 3rd based on the original cup-winning uni template.
Toronto: Use the current 3rd as a template for a home-away set. No 3rd needed.
Vancouver: I do like the orca, but the script is not needed. Create a 3rd based on these as well.
Washington: Use the 3rd as a home/away set, but use the new modernized logo. Create a blue alt using the Weagle logo.
Winnipeg:  'Washington-Capitalize' the 90-96 Jets uni and make it the 3rd. Add a touch more red to the home/aways.

5 sports venues you want to visit

December 20, 2012 - 10:50

You can also make a secondary list of 5 from the past that may be closed/demolished/etc. that you wish you had the chance to visit.

Mine:

1. Fenway- Boston- hate the Red Sox, but I love the intimacy of that place and the way it's just scrunched into a tiny block. Also, the oldest park in baseball.
2. Wrigley- Chicago- for similar reasons.
3. Lambeau- Green Bay- alot of history and there's no other like it.
4. Bell Centre- Montreal- home of my favorite hockey team. Never been. Yet.
5. Madison Square Garden

Past:
1. Montreal Forum- speaks for itself.
2. Chicago Stadium- I almost want to count this one twice. Once for a Bulls finals game during the 90s, and once for a Blackhawks game during the 70s.
3. Boston Garden- Same as above. Would love to see a Bruins game during the 70s and a Celtics game in the 80s.
4. Polo Grounds in New York
5. Olympia Stadium- Detroit- another of the old schools.

Is it acceptable to have a second favorite team?

December 13, 2012 - 16:58

I'm a hometown diehard fan in all sports except hockey, but I do support the Wings because they're from Detroit. However, if they ever met the Habs in the Cup, it would be Habs all the way.

In baseball, I'm strictly Tigers; NFL- Lions; NBA- Pistons. I may lean one way or another if 2 teams are playing in the superbowl say, but as far as second favorites, I have none.

What are your opinions?
