  1. I think the best the Cavs have ever looked was the Lebron era uniforms, but I'm a big fan of the current uniforms too. All they need is a gold alt that they wear at home.
  2. Maybe this is the unpopular opinion, but I think that this is the best the Kings have ever looked. They're kind of the opposite of the Canucks to me. A few entirely different color schemes and designs, but all of the Kings have looked good. I actually like their current crest, too. I'm happy they wont the Cup in these and that all their success has come in silver and black, because I don't want to see them move away from that again.
  3. It's interesting that you think that. I actually remember VC vividly as a Raptor. I'm not saying that's the first team that I think of when I think of him (that would probably be the Nets), but I don't consider it anywhere near a "wrong" uniform for him. Remember, he played nearly half his career up there. I would consider his current Mavs uni to be a "wrong" uni. I regularly forget that he is a Mav. It might just be that him in the red Raptors jersey is the wrong uniform. I've always thought of Vince Carter as a Raptor first, even now when he's with the Mavs and when he was with the Nets. But I also associate him 100% with the purple and black uniform set, I don't remember him wearing the red at all.
  4. I'd bet the majority of people wearing counterfeits are people like this. They see that a jersey is stitched or a hockey jersey has a fight strap and automatically think it's authentic. I remember once in high school a kid was so proud of the authentic Blackhawks jersey he got for Christmas. It was one of the ones with the dark brown face, super skinny C, and I think the tomahawks were even miscolored. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was fake, but I was pleasantly surprised that one of my friends knew it was fake (and even told the kid.)
  5. That picture looks legit, but just look at how they spell Minnesota in the listing. I'd be surprised if you got the jersey in that picture.
  6. This is the best the Warriors have ever looked. I didn't really like it until the last few years they wore it, but it's much better than any of their blue and gold sets.
  7. This is the most obvious mistake to me. Not just the kerning, but it looks like the arching on the letters and the shape of the white arch are off as well.
  8. Don't they still have their equivalent to the NBA's old swingman? I got a Bears one last year and I believe it was $100. Numbers and names are sewn on one layer with the other layers screenprinted on top of that.
  9. And yet one of the most storied programs in college basketball history (Kansas) could very well have been scrambling for a home after last year's realignment chatter. It's simple: Why isn't anyone interested in Kansas? Because basketball is an afterthought in realignment talks. Why isn't anyone in Rice or Tulane? Because academics are irrelevant in realignment talks. mod edit DING! Thank you for bringing the light. Now, everyone, back to the FOOTBALL realignment discussion. Basketball and academics are important, but they aren't the thing that's fueling the realignment. Why isn't Boise State already in a major conference? It's because of their other sports and academics. And Rice and Tulane aren't getting any big invites because their football programs aren't good. Conferences already have their Vanderbilts and Northwesterns so they're not going out and looking to bring in a school that's main draw is the academics. Football is by far the most important factor of the realignment discussions, but it's wrong to say that academics and basketball are meaningless.
  10. Why would they invite TCU who is already joining the seemingly stable for now Big East?
  11. Once again ensuring future generations of the ability to watch a completely undeserving B1G team play in a BCS bowl against a much superior Pac-12 opponent, a la Illinois/USC 2007. That was just one year and Illinois didn't even win the Big Ten that year. Ohio State won the conference and played in the title game so they picked Illinois to play just because they were a Big Ten team. Illinois doesn't play in the BCS that year if Ohio State doesn't make the title game. And last time there was a Big Ten/Pac-10 matchup Ohio State beat Oregon.
  12. But does the Big Ten really need more than 12 teams? Of course I'd be in favor of adding Notre Dame and another team (preferably Missouri), but I'd rather we stick at 12 teams than go pick up a team that isn't a great fit.
  13. I love how thick that collar is. It looks like somebody is wearing a white dress shirt underneath the jersey.
  14. He played QB in the NFL, why would he change that up for some no name league? I don't know, maybe it's the fact that he's well over 300 pounds? He's leading the league is passing yards, though. He may be overweight, but you can't knock the fact that he's a good quarterback.
  15. Are you charger77's spokesman now? He couldn't find anyone better to try to explain his worthless arguments? I recognize that buying bootleg jerseys is illegal, but it's one of those crimes that's a lot less harmful than some other crimes in this world that go unpunished. That doesn't make it completely right, but it makes me care less about it than other issues. And it also makes me not feel bad about doing it. I guarantee you've broken several laws in your life. No one really has the right to be holier-than-thou about lawbreaking. The worst part is that people are celebrating it on here of all places. There are some professional designers on here that are hurt buy people knowingly buying counterfeit jerseys.
  16. I like the standardized courts for the NCAA Tournament. I can't exactly place what it is that makes me like them more, but I prefer it to just playing on another team's home court.
  17. I never understood this rationale for why the BiG is bad. Most MLB's monograms could conceivably be used by any other city that shares the inital... What exactly makes the Phillies "P" say Philadelphia any more than it says Pittsburgh or Phoenix? By my count, only the Angels, Marlins, Astros, White Sox, Blue Jays, Rockies, Diamondbacks, Mariners and Brewers currently use monograms that refer to their nicknames... that's 9 out of 28 teams. The fact that it even contains a B is actually more than most teams do to refer to their nickname. I guess it's more of the fact that they have a logo of baseball equipment, which is why I prefer the hats the Brewers wore after the BiG. That's the same reason I don't like the Canucks stick in rink logo, it's just hockey equipment.
  18. Most people don't like, but I do: Minnesota Vikings - I'm not in love with the uniforms, but I think they're miles ahead of the throwback/alternates. Seattle Seahawks - I really like the monochrome look at home and can't stand the look when they wear white pants at home. I'm really happy they went with the monochrome home look all the time. Dallas Stars - I kind of like the college-style jersey. It's unique in the NHL, they would just be better with more green. Nashville Predators - Navy, silver, and yellow lookgreat together in my opinion. I'm disappointed they're moving to just blue and black. Most people like these, I have no idea why: Milwaukee Brewers - The BiG logo. The logo is okay, but has no connection to the team name. It could work for any team with MB as their initials. The 90s uniforms were an improvement, and I like the current uniforms the most. I will say that the royal and yellow looked better than navy and gold. New York Islanders/Edmonton Oilers - Royal blue and orange just look too bright together. If one of these teams had to switch back, I wish it were Edmonton, not New York, because I actually liked the Islanders edge jerseys (I could have put that up above too)
  19. Marquette and DePaul don't make sense. Neither school has a football team nor is strong enough academically to join the Big Ten. Marquette isn't in the Association of American Universities and DePaul is really a step below Big Ten schools academically.
  20. I like the banners as well. One of my favorites is how the Bulls put each player's name around the perimeter on their championship banners.
