Topics I've Started

A typeface uproar

March 9, 2013 - 21:23

http://www.huffingto..._n_2843391.html

Well, well, what do we have here? A typeface flap! A Vermont newspaper is in hot water for alleged racism, because a poster made in support of one of their high school teams, had the words "Fry Rice" in reference to another high school in Chinese calligraphy.

First, we had the Cougars flap in Utah, now this. What is going on here?!

Your uniform-related beliefs

January 26, 2013 - 03:13

Admit it, you have a set of beliefs surrounding sports uniforms. Share them here.

I, johnnysama, believe that.......
In (American) football, black shoes are soo 1960s. It's the 21st century, you should wear either white (because I think they make you look fast), or with the advent of the colored shoes, those, even if they may contain a little black in them.

From a practical sense, pullover jerseys in baseball make sense; the belted pants/pullover jersey combo is a nice compromise between tradition and modern.

It's OK if you want to try gold in place of a white jersey, if your team wears that color.

Good and Bad SB matchups

January 23, 2013 - 22:34

There have been many Super Bowls, but some of us have imagined how some hypothetical matchups would look. Here's a few that I'd think would be good, some not so much, and others....... UGH.

GOOD:
Chiefs/Bears, Packers/Browns, Raiders/Giants: Well, these are three epics, with their classic colors that have withstood the test of time.

BAD:
Raiders/Seahawks: It would have me giddy as a Seahawks fan, but visually? Not so much.
Bengals/Rams: Only the Rams are OK. It's just the Bengals I have slight issues about.

UGLY:
Jaguars/Saints: Too much black, not enough color.

DIY projets you'd like to do

January 16, 2013 - 22:16

OK, so this came to my mind a few nights ago: I wanted to make my own 1960s Lombardi-era Green Bay Packers jersey.

The problem is: I don't know know how to make the sleeve stripes. Also, I am having some problems figuring out how to big the TV number should be, and the front/back numbers.

What I do know is this:
I will use a standard forest green sweatshirt, some white fabric (for the numbers themselves) and a sewing machine, if possible.

If there is anyone who has DIY projects they'd like to pursue, don't be afraid to post here in this thread!
