Yeah, Barça used to be proud of this, too.

It's wild that we've gone from "what a gimmicky addition by Reebok" to "don't skimp out on that part of the design" in regard to the hanger effect in about a decade.

Gorgeous. Maybe not as good as the originals, but close, and with a better crest. Now please give me a t-shirt with that shoulder patch. Ideally one not made by Fanatics.

I think the Sharks pic we're seeing is one from a list of options, based on the caption. I would put money down on there being another version of that design with black helmets and pants, and hopefully that's the one they use. Also, hard to tell from one digit, but I think that's the numeral font the Barracuda are using on their new jerseys this season.

This makes me wonder if we could see a color flip of their Winter Classic jersey. That used a lighter blue and darker red to great effect.

Their original retro third was green, so that doesn't fit with the "reverse" idea. Making the jersey black, though, gives you a night sky over the desert landscape on the hem.

The last thing that logo needs is two more elements full of jagged lines crammed into it. Besides, North Carolina is already there in the negative space, which is where I believe the actual state of North Carolina also exists.

Would not be surprised if you see a lot of East Coast teams slotting their Reverse Retro nights when the California teams are in town for this reason. A 7:00pm Eastern puck drop gives the shiny new things you're trying to sell more national exposure than a 10:30pm Eastern start.

The Canes are bringing back Early 2000s NHL Problems: Introduce a 3rd jersey, it gets popular, so you promote it to primary and ditch your previous home look, but never bother developing a road set to match it. Hopefully they don't also decide to revive the trap and a season-long lockout while they're at it.

Couple of interesting things on the return of the Fisherman: - There's still some teal in there, so that runs counter to the rumors. - The logo isn't just recolored; it's been fully redone. The giveaway is the text, as the original had the "I" and "S" at the ends larger than the rest of the letters. If the Sharks take the ice in UCLA shoulder stripes I am going to have an incident.

Well, here's one for those of you on the board who have been on this saga since way back when. Former Almost Coyotes Owner Matthew Hulsizer was on the stand in federal court today. He was testifying as the purchaser of a North Side mansion that had been previously owned by R. Kelly. Hulsizer testified that he had to remove what we shall call a "Matt Lauer button" from one of the bedrooms, which allowed remote locking and unlocking of the door. He also said that in at least one bedroom, what appeared to be a smoke detector was actually a concealed video camera. Anyhoo, carry on with your day.

It looks like it says "WHEELINC."

Smart move by the Sharks, making their minor leaguers improve their conditioning by wearing all of those heavy, burdensome stripes during play.

Suggesting the Panthers could play in Ypsilanti? Please read up a little on the WFL Detroit Wheels. Unless you're continuing the USFL's current approach of "in-person attendance doesn't matter,* in which case, why bother leaving Birmingham at all?

If you don't know who @ebod39 is... you've been here a while, man. You should know. Anyway, you can take anything he posts on NHL uniforms as gospel. He knows.

It's okay, the Maulers soiled themselves in the final week to take that title, and their uniforms are no great shakes.

I saw a clip of Argos-Als and was aghast to see Toronto with a navy helmet, navy jersey, plain Columbia blue pants, and plain Columbia blue socks. That one is more offensive than a lot of unitard outfits.

The one that kills me is when the Knights play 1983 White Sox dress-up, wearing a hat with "CLT" on the front and a big, red button up top.

Everything about the look isn't as good as the team's primary package, except for that wonderful little baseball grill, which is perfection and I hope lives on well beyond the City Connect cash grab. If nothing else, it should live on in the signage of the brat stands and tailgate areas around the ballpark. I'm not interested in giving MLB a cent this year, but a shirt with that is testing my resolve.

Found pictures of an actual USFL replica jersey. They are crap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/403705065290?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yVlKB9wsSSK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=ZZApCq1xStO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I'd put my money on all eight teams playing in Birmingham again next season, assuming there is a next season.

Pittsburgh really earned its 1-6 record yesterday by head coach Kirby Wilson pulling his starting QB down 7 with four minutes left in the 4th quarter for a guy from D2 Slippery Rock the team just signed this past Tuesday, because he didn't like the starter's "body language." The announcers did everything short of outright calling Wilson an idiot for the move.

I'm at a Kane County Cougars game right now, and they're beating the Dockhounds 10-0 in the top of the 4th. Their players are almost entirely not American Association caliber, and the uniforms feature whatever gray pants they could get on the cheap. Some have piping, some don't and some are MLB surplus. I stand by my statement.

Has anyone here ordered a USFL jersey through their store? If so, have you received it yet?

I believe they are playing in two stadiums, both in Birmingham.
