  1. Certainly far better than what they have now.
  2. Man, the better the graphics get in Madden, the deeper the uncanny valley gets. Those player models look awful.
  3. You just HAD to post a pic of a knockoff, didn't you....Further, by using a knock off as the example, cubsfan2015 undermined his argument for why this jersey is superior (at least in my mind). The color the Dolphins use now for their aqua is one of the best colors used in the NFL currently, far outstripping any other shade of the color they've worn since 1966.
  4. It was just a color change for when Elway was at Stanford. Still, a nice job.
  5. What has LeBron James ever done off the field that makes you think that? You gotta have something better than your 18 year old drunk in Quincy Market story. What circus? Guy has been the Derek Jeter of the NBA when it comes to citizenship. If LeBron was forced to play a year or two in college there is no doubt in my mind he would of been a model student athlete until his time came. Nothing has ever gotten in the way between him and his craft. Ever. He would certainly have been a better student athlete than Jameis Winston, and Winston didn't "destroy" Florida State's athletics program by any means. Maurice Clarett and all his issues didn't destroy Ohio State. Shoot, even Penn State's football program is still standing, and what happened there was far worse than anything any single student athlete has done. Edit: I don't mean to trivialize what happened at Penn State. I'm making the point that "destroying" an athletic department seems like quite the hyperbole.
  6. "Tuscan" will get you close on the chest script. The numbers look custom...like the characteristics of Tuscan were edited into another stock font. As Buc said, those numbers have been modified from their original form. During that game (against WVU), I was initially trying to think of where I'd seen them before. Then it occurred to me: they're essentially the same numbers that the Phoenix Suns wore in the 1970s, just without the modifications. I don't know if that helps at all in your quest to find the set, but at least it gives you some more resources from which to pull if you decide to create them yourself?
  7. I would have to see the Triads' 10k to know how many people they employ and what taxes they are paying back to society, but admittedly, those have been hard to find. +5 Excellent.
  8. I remember this game not because it was only Jacksonville's second season and they weren't supposed to do as well as they did but because some lineman for the Broncos (I don't even necessarily remember if it was offensive or defensive) didn't get off the field in time before the next play started, costing them a penalty very late in the game. Now that I'm thinking about it, I believe it was a defensive lineman and this was during Jacksonville's last scoring drive that put the game out of reach for Denver. What I remember vividly was 1) how orange the guy's uniform looked as he was walking off the field, even in artificial light; and 2) the broadcasters laying into the lineman calling him lazy, etc. for not getting off the field fast enough. (Admittedly, he did walk off the field; he didn't hustle at all and Mark Brunell was quick enough on the snap to get a penalty out of it.)
  9. There're a fair few fonts that approximate that style of lettering. A quick Google search of "license plate font" came back with several that look about like that.
  10. What I liked even better was that, though I have no specific recollection of him being in one, Keyshawn Johnson in a Panthers uniform wasn't surprising to me.
  11. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Modano hasn't worn a green or gold jersey in ages. He didn't say the jersey was green or gold. Nitpick fail. How silly of me to assume he meant Dallas' undetectable green and gold trim. Nitpick fail nitpicker. You didn't think maybe he was referring to the main team colors he's worn for 20 years? Are these green? With yellow/gold on them? I can't tell. They look red to me. Also, and unrelated, I didn't know Joel McHale was a hockey fan (over his shoulder).
  12. Ah! Tres bon; merci! Does it have a name?
  13. I'd venture it's something in the Franklin Gothic family, with the capital I used in place of the 1. I'm going to disagree with you there, unless it's a very specific modification of a Franklin Gothic face. Seeing the Broncos playing the Chargers on Monday night renewed my interest in this specific font. Franklin Gothic Book appears to be the closest version (in weight) to what the helmet font looks like. However there are several differences. Franklin Gothic Book: The Helmet Font (1, 2, 3, 5): (8): (7): Besides the difference you pointed out (the 1), the 3 and 5 are noticeably different, and the 8 appears to be two overlapping circles (one on the other) as opposed to a firgure-8 like Franklin Gothic's. Also, on the helmets, the stroke weight for the numbers appears to be even throughout the whole of each character, whereas with Franklin, the weights differ here and there (6 and 9 for instance.) Plus, not pictured is (found a picture) the number 7 which is also a fairly striking difference: the helmet 7 is two straight lines. The larger portion of the Franklin 7 is curved like Helvetica. I've been keeping an eye out for this typeface for a long time. Does anyone have it or a lead as to where I could get it? (Or even rasters of each of the numbers so that I could trace them in Illustrator?)
  14. Does anyone have or know of a typeface that's similar to this one? I've always liked the look of an extremely wide, serifed font like that. It's quite 60's. Looks alot like 58 Rodeo ($24): http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/baselinefonts/58-rodeo/ Mucho gracias!
  15. 4:30 AM is over-rated.

  16. Does anyone have or know of a typeface that's similar to this one? I've always liked the look of an extremely wide, serifed font like that. It's quite 60's.
  17. Going off of that, does anyone have a copy of that set of numbers in vector? (It's a variation of NCAA Gothic, right?)
