Was waiting for this tweet.

Packers-Chiefs was the first Super Bowl, so they're probably trying to evoke that with their most classic road permutation, the all-whites. The white socks all have stripes, though, which is nice, and I've noticed that no one on the Packers is iced out like a freezer (but some may listen to Weezer).

I can't believe from the day Georgia Frontiere finally bit it that I hoped for the Rams to come back home, and then they actually did, only to wear lemon yellow, warm grey pants with white and yellow stripes, Fibonacci Sequence horns, contrast-stitched nametags, and rubber gradient numbers. For all the dumb ideas they had, they may as well have moved to Las Vegas, the world's dumbest idea. What a waste.

The Browns' uniforms really brought into relief how bad the Rams look now. The hypebeast thing was outdated from the second it rolled out. They should just look like the regular L.A. Rams.

EDIT EDIT: Niners are gonna win the Super Bowl, aren’t they?

They or Detroit will get there but I have a feeling Lamar Jackson gets his ring this year.

God of course Philadelphia has a fatass Italian bodyguard named "Big Dom" 

Skins look great but the Dolphins took a big hit using Machine, the "I want to do athletic block but don't have the actual athletic block on my computer" font. Overall, though, a much better tableau with nary a performance skirt to be found.

Good. Gambling should be opposed. It's a decadent and corrosive force.

He’s very sorry for the thing that nobody will actually come forward to say he did and will only rule out a limited subset of offended/victims.

Supposedly he grabbed Caley Chelios's ass in front of a bunch of people. Inasmuch as her dad is the guy who openly mused to reporters that it would be cool if someone killed Gary Bettman, I think Perry got off relatively easy. 

I would strip down/idiotproof the Seahawks' uniform possibilities to monochrome blue at home, navy-white-grey-navy on the road. They're clearly designed to be all-blue and that's been their thing since joining the NFC, moving outdoors, and thriving, so no sense in fighting it. Meanwhile, the road uniform would have some subtle echoes of the Kingdome set at least in terms of color distribution for the people who need that (probably have to add more green accents to the jerseys and pants first, I forgot how little there was till I checked GUD just now). 

Putting the actual drop-shadowed and layered letters on the logo could be too busy, but what about single-layer white, like so?

Oh, neon green as a head-to-toe base color is disgusting. It has to be an accent for blue and grey. As I've posted before, I think green needs to replace grey on the bird logo itself for better continuity with the original and to be more eye-catching on the helmets. There's a lot I don't like about the Seahawks, but they could get to a good place with a few changes and simplifications and don't need to go back to the AFC Kingdome Forever 8-8 stuff.

Dark royal and silver-blue or silver-green (silver-teal?) for the Cowboys, yeah. 

I still don't get the Seahawks thing, you guys. Navy blue/neon green is much more interesting, and unlike the majority of NFL teams, the Seahawks are under no obligation to be timeless.

Basically, I'm not even sure if the original uniforms that they were trying to emulate, matched the official color specs - or that they even cared, and only really enforced the color specs for graphics and print.  They changed those uniforms and colors in '96, right around the time when the retail market was starting to explode, more color-reproduction methods were in use, and when teams were having legit branding firms come up with full "systems", rather than Bill the Assistant Equipment Manager drawing a logo on a cocktail napkin and taking it down to the local sporting goods distributer and saying "put this on a green jersey with block numbers - thanks!"

I think there's something to this. There were a few teams that went surprisingly deep on not really managing their branding. The football Cardinals were another. 

The Hawks can't get Saturday nights at the United Center without an NBA lockout, relax. 

It would be an amazing atmosphere to see 80,000 NBA fans in one place, sitting politely. 

lol at the Rags as a centerpiece of MSG, they're third on the depth chart behind the Knicks and Everything Else

When I saw Deadspin had published this article, I figured there were two possible people behind it, one being Julie DiCaro, or maybe the other person being the guy who tweeted something like "only white people can get away with this" about the Charissa Thompson story a couple weeks ago...it turned it I was right and it was the second person who did this story. 

It was that hotep race pimp Carron Phillips

Yeah, I've seen articles from players talking about how they don't have time to recover from a Sunday game before TNF, so their bodies aren't ready for the game, which contributes to the sloppiness.

Again: no Thursday games without preceding bye weeks. Especially Thanksgiving. 

Neat pictures, and nice job pouncing on merch from before they even nailed down the color scheme.

I was thinking the other day and was going to ask you: how would you feel about a Pelicans Mardi Gras alt that used K&B Purple?

I'd be remiss in not pointing out that by using a picture of a black guy to communicate a comical reaction, Cujo himself  is engaging in the practice of "digital blackface." None of you are free from sin.

Houston is interesting because there's no guarantee that the NHL would succeed there as it has in Dallas. 

The Houston-Dallas rivalry will singlehandedly make the NHL the #3 league in America. Did you know both of those cities are in Texas?

Julie DiCaro locked her twitter and all the responses are accusing her of crybullying so I'm guessing Zombie Deadspin really stepped in it with the Chiefs kid.
