They were fun to root for with Flacco. Not so much with Watson back.

Boy this is good. Laurence Holmes just lets Brandon Johnson paint himself as the fool and the mark over sixteen minutes without having to deploy a single zinger or gotcha. Halfway in he's talking about the great public benefit being a shiny new place for the high school girls' flag football championship and the Prep Bowl, and by the end our progressive socialist mayor is talking about how proud he is to have the opportunity to align himself with these particular billionaires.

Houston looks like the 2017 Arizona jerseys.

2 blues will end up looking like these, especially paired with white pants:

oh my bad

Not to tangent, but the way FIFA is going with the World Cup, it's going to be about every 20 years or so North America will get the games again. They're to the point even Europe and the Americas are having multi-country hosts. It's going to start rotating between The Americas, Europe, Asia/Oceania, and back with consistency since they're not going to keep finding the Qatars, South Africas, or Brazils of the world going into nation-changing debt to build the stadiums for one event and then sit vacant and dilapidated in short order.

DUDE, sorry to change the subject, but just noticed the African Grey with you and your son in the profile pic. I have a Grey too!

Haha, @jamesizzo, the page forcibly reloads itself a lot, sometimes losing the message I’m composing in the process. It reloaded as I was typing the word “set” this time. I don’t think I hit the post button, but sometimes the box does jump around the screen.

I'll be honest, Stars/Golden Knights is a beautiful uniform playoff match up. Stars/Flames would be great too, if we ever get it sometime.

For me it’s just kind of about nobody wanting to claim Columbia blue. I would be fine with the Titans doing what they did for part of the Fisher era and going with Columbia blue for their main color and navy for their secondary.

As far as the Texans’ new set goes, I would gladly take the gaudy H-Town Blue set with red socks over their regular home set with white pants and white socks (both of which they have modeled, so it isn’t just a hypothetical).

As far as the Texans’ new s

They're going to get all the worst of the Jazz hand me down concepts. Double blue with highlighter

SPIRIT AIRLINES The "school bus of a plane" really knows how to get attention, and my uniform concepts for Spirit Airlines do the same thing, perhaps. When I implied at the beginning that there will be some airlines which will get the primary-clash-alternate designation, I was not thinking then about three SEPARATE designs from the helmet all the way to the socks (well, I actually thought about that for my Thai Airways concept, but I then abandoned that idea). However, for a distinct airline like Spirit, this is the full exhaustion of the unofficial rule I just mentioned. Starting off, we have the all-yellow uniform with touches of black. Actually, I just learned recently that Spirit tweaked its current livery where all logos no longer have the scratch pattern. By the way, that same scratch pattern is applied on the sleeves and the pant striping, so that this won't be just another all-yellow uniform. The clash uniform tackles the much "tamer" livery—Eurowhite with significant usage of blue. I specifically applied the livery's empennage design to the shoulders, and I went with blue pants and white socks this time, to add more color to what's essentially a road uniform. Finally, we have the livery that I mostly like, the grayscale pixel livery. I also recently realized that this is a later variant of the original pixel livery, which uses blue. The former is the basis of my alternate uniform for Spirit, as it looks more professional.

Indiana Pacers I'm not going to lie, but I really like the way Indiana turned out and it may be one of my personal favorites. They get a white home and gray away as well as a blue alternate and a yellow alternate that all feature the same side panel design as their basketball jerseys. I took their 2019-20 City Edition and turned into a sleeveless jersey for their City Connect

PERFECTION. Honestly, stripes are what the non-silver pants need. I also don't mind about the wordmark above the number on the front of the white and black jerseys, though.

This makes sense. From the moment the Texans started teasing the "H-Town blue," it looked more Panthers/Chargers electric blue to me than it did Titans/Oilers baby blue. I like it, I think it works for them. The brighter red is also huge, part of the reason I think the outgoing set looked so drab was that the "Battle Red" was fairly dark. Going with a brighter candy-paint-inspired red will help with that a lot. It's also interesting that the Lions apparently did not change their Honolulu blue shade, as it looked a bit brighter than previous versions, even in that one photo which offered a direct comparison.

I really, really hate that font Houston is using for their numbers.

Yeah, but he didn't have a path to the bag. You're completely right -- just like how Dez Bryant didn't batch it at Lambeau.

TF is with this? He was out by a full foot. The knee didn't even come into play.

I do wonder if they could've pulled off using both royal and navy in more of a cobalance, instead of relegating royal to a barely visible accent, beyond the throwbacks. I'd at least appreciate the ambition more than what they rolled out with. I think it'd make sense for the snowcap of the mountain to remain white, if that's possible.

This series seems very adventurous so far, I appreciate your creativity & willingness to try new ideas, as that's something I often struggle with. Just some comments on each of the teams so far: Arizona: I love the "Copper State" alternate, just as I did in your previous series. Atlanta: I also really dug the red & neon look for the Hawks, but I'm not sure how I feel about it for the Falcons. Maybe it could work as an accent to a helmet stripe (like they used to have a bit of gold in their stripe), but as the main color of the logo besides black it's a bit distracting. Baltimore: I actually don't hate the lavender-to-black-back-to lavender gradient of the alternate, it makes sense with the shimmering of a raven's feathers. I'd be curious to see how something like that would look in real life. Buffalo: The Bills traditional-style set works really well for them, but if they ever decided to go the more "modern" route, this would be about perfect. The "Blizzard Bills" alternate is really fun. Looking forward to seeing the rest!

Yeah, Lambeau Field and Soldier Field are both Ships of Theseus, except more a Lifeboat of Theseus in Chicago's case. Even with Yankee Stadium before and after the renovation, they looked like the same place. 2003 Soldier Field's seating bowl is a completely different shape from the original, which lopped off the end of the stadium and actually had more seats facing the endzones than the sidelines. EDIT: Weird old building.

Other than the first 60 rows of the main bowl, nothing in Lambeau is older than 1994ish.

Oh, and Warren also said the stadium would draw 77,000 each to the men's and women's Final Fours. And then he said Chicago would get World Cup games. GENIUS, the next World Cup in the United States is in two years; when, pray tell, do you think the next one will be? At the rate they're going, the Bears would be replacing the new stadium before it ever came back here! I loathe this team.
