I only just realized that there are two Monday night games for weeks 2 & 3. Why? Is this new for this season or have I just never noticed?

Pacific Coast teams are about to be in the Atlantic Coast Conference because why not 

A simple rebrand to American Coast Conference and it all makes “sense”!

I'm a Tom Petty fan and have listened to that song dozens of times, but even I didn't make that connection, so it seems like a big stretch by the marketing department. I can't really think of what notable impact Indiana has had on pop culture outside of Hoosiers and Parks & Rec.

This is Breaking Away erasure!

Nice seeing all these beautiful throwbacks. I have a very strong suspicion that the Colts will be going BFBS head to toe tomorrow to ruin that vibe. 

Very thankful that they didn’t go with the darker purple helmet! Historical accuracy be damned! 

The individual elements need work, but the color balance works for me. Throw some blue socks on that and its the start of a look I would like to see them adopt full time. 

BYU won Hip Hop Dance!? 

You see a ton of “MLB to PDX” bumper stickers driving around up here. The problem is that there aren’t any credible owners to be found. I’m sure one of our more business minded posters could explain why Phil Knight never got into owning a sports franchise. 

Most of the time I hate to see a team move, but I think this one will hurt more than most, purely from a uni point of view. I don’t see the current A’s look fitting with what Vegas teams want to bring to the table. We may be losing one of the best uniforms in all of sports. 

That is a horrible choice in footwear for a hike in the desert. 

That picture of the eggs makes me think they are going to be “desert camo” helmets. I hope I’m wrong.

Will they be dumb and wear white socks again? I’m guessing, yes. This will put both teams in white socks. At least the Chiefs have stripes.

So any idea if this will be our first Super Bowl with double white socks?

Super Bowl XX had double white socks, but the Bears and Pats both had stripes. 

I’m on vacation in Palm Springs for a few days and I just happened to be walking by a Raiders bar when this play went down. My four year old really liked the guy with a spiked motorcycle helmet running down the sidewalk yelling, “ LETS :censored:ING GO!!!” as loud as I’ve ever heard it yelled. 

This is a solid 8 from me. I’d keep the TC cap with the roads and only have red belts except for the cream uni.

The nicest thing about this Sunday night game? I don’t think a single Titan is wearing plain white socks!

Bengals in black pants/orange socks vs. Ravens in black jersey/purple pants would be the ideal Halloween matchup IMO. 

Other holiday matchups:

Wild vs. Leafs (or Lightning) on Xmas/Hanukkah. Devils in throwbacks would also work.

Browns going brown/orange vs. Commanders in white/burgundy on Thanksgiving.

This one is a stretch (this entire exercise is stupid) but how about Saints in gold pants vs. Raiders on Xmas. Silver and Gold!

Sorry if this has been answered already, but are we finally going to see the Pats silver pants this week? The all navy look vs. the Bears in their usual road unis would look extremely boring. 

I wouldn't mind seeing the Steelers pull a Northwestern and put the stripe right across the chest with the numbers overtop.

I wish the Chargers would only break out the yellow pants when they are on the road. White-Blue-Yellow-Blue doesn't work for me. Same reason I dislike the University of Wyoming when they go with an A-B-C-B look. 

I get that they are doing it for historical accuracy, but there is no excuse for the mismatched blues in 2022. Even the Rams got that one thing right with their mess of a uniform. 

Both of these look great. The only thing that isn’t working for me is the Angels grey look. The cream on the socks and hat look out of place there. Otherwise A+!

Reds no hit the Buccos and lost. Two inept franchises at their “best”. My dad and brother were at the game, so at least they saw history. I’m pretty sure this is only the sixth ever no hitter loss in MLB history.  (Only two of those officially count as no hitters, as they went a full 9 innings.)

Loving this whole series! Incredible work. Very much looking forward to Pennsylvania and Oregon.

Any thought about including a reference to Maine's most famous export, Stephen King, on their plate? A small red balloon floating past the top of the lighthouse perhaps?

I really hope the Angels is this season because I am very interested to see what they go with for the "City" in City Connect. I do recall seeing a Reddit comment last season saying there was initial discussions about it being beach themed.

It needs to be ska themed! Black and white checkered cleats with vests. 

I think we all knew ads were coming, but I’m honestly pleasantly surprised that they are limited to jerseys and batting helmets. I was sure caps would get them too. All ads are terrible, but it could have been worse.
