    At this point I want a giga leak of the uniform changes. Just the whole 9 yards. It's just kinda wild that outside of the Texans road uniform, no other uniform has had a significant leak from retail or even like a team photoshoot. 


    Every year we get sports uniform changes, and every year people are surprised at how little has leaked. Truth be told, leaks are sort of uncommon. Especially today. Teams take a lot of precautions (including termination threats) to prevent these leaks, and most of the time they’re well aware of the weak spots that cause them (mostly, logistics on shipping stuff out prior to reveal so that it’ll be in stores when the buzz is still high). 
     

     

    I used to HATE having to wait to see these. Now? It’s actually kind of fun. It’s like, oh, I’ll have something else to look forward to in April!

    They're shoehorn the Colorado state flag into these unis like they did the Avs and Rox. 🤦


    I’m thinking white helmet with some stupid mountain pattern in the paint, orange jerseys with white sleeves. Mountain pattern and Colorado C behind the horse. All orange pants with a 52whatever down one of the legs. White and grey socks. Maybe with a mountain pattern. It’s gonna suck and look terrible, but this won’t be far off I bet. 
     

    Oh, also, numbers with either the mountain pattern or Colorado C sublimated like the Seahawks.

    For example, Easter is on April 20th next year. (Nice of them to have it on my birthday. Wonder how they feel about the weed thing.)


    You also share a birthday with a certain historical figure from Austria. 

  4. I mean, I think it already is. Easter is synonymous with spring, and so is the start of baseball. I don’t think the link to Easter itself would work because of the religious aspect of it (which I understand Christmas too, but that’s been mostly drowned by capitalism). I grew up about as Catholic as you can get and even I think that’s a bit weird. I think it would be a surprisingly tough sell.

  5. Lions and (I think) Broncos were mentioned as long ago as last off season. Texans has been in the works for even longer I think. Jets seemed to come out of nowhere. I’ve heard Seattle and Tennessee, but those claims seemed dubious at best. Titans I think even denied it.

    Hope they have a good bullpen, since they'll be throwing 4 innings whenever he starts.  It's telling that he got a relatively low salary for such a short deal, when Zach Wheeler just got 3 at 42M and that was considered market value at worst.  Very happy the Phillies didn't go after him.


    They do! And now they almost have too many starters, so they can shift Jordan Hicks back to the pen if need be. 
     

    I give Farhan a lot of :censored: sometimes, but this was a very good off season for the Giants.

    Could they get away with yellow as a base color if the blue outlines, say the blue above the navy in that picture, were thick enough on the numbers and scripts? Yellow hats, yellow socks, something like that? Rays of sunshine, the sun is yellow (as drawn by a child), and every Tampa team would be built around a different primary color.


    They currently play in a stadium that feels like a planetarium dome with the house lights on. They would probably look even more washed out than the Chargers do playing under that plastic sun shade

    He was at the media event, I’m assuming the team is at least saying the blue is darker. Maybe it’s just a fabric thing, I know the official color has not changed previously. 


    I mean about the “original” shade of navy he’s talking about. I don’t think there was ever a switch, and they’ve used the darker navy the whole time. 
     

    I wanna say the original specs when the franchise was first announced (with the white helmet sample) may have used a lighter blue, but I could just be imagining that. 

  9. I just realized they have a texture on the numbers like the Seahawks do. I don’t hate that as much as some of the more traditional leaning people do. 
     

    It could just be perforation, though? 
     

    Also, I almost scrolled past the leak because I thought it was just the Falcons road unis. Not a terrible thing, but a very similar look.

  10. I like it! The number font is a bit wonky, but I think they were trying to match their Texans wordmark font. I think it works. 
     

     

    All the Texans really needed was a slight refresh of what they already have. This seems to be it, and I’m cool with it. I like the idea of changing the sleeve stripes to horns. Arizona State made their sleeve stripes a pitchfork on their final Nike set, and I always liked it. This has a very similar feel. 
     

     

    Mostly, I’m just glad they still look like the Texans.

    This feels like the Steelers grabbed Wilson too early and now they're lucky Chicago had to send Fields away. This QB room is improved, but it will be dysfunctional as hell.


    I mean, I don’t think so. They just brought in CRAZY potential upside for almost nothing with both of their new QBs. Either this pays off handsomely for them, or it doesn’t but they took so little risk that it doesn’t much matter. 
     

    Goddam Steelers. Every time.

    I do recall some Majestic player tees having the textured numbers as well, maybe around the 2013-2014 timeframe.


    Yeah I remember that. I worked for a group that did apparel printing and stitching for the Seattle sports teams (One of the things I had a focus on was heat pressing the names and numbers on the Seattle Sounders game kits) around then and we produced two different types of Mariners player T’s. Just the regular old printed one, which for the Mariners with the silver and teal on a navy shirt looked AWESOME. But we also printed the same shirts where we tried to add coated layers that gave the numbers some depth and print that looked like the stitching around the numbers and letters. They were an absolute pain in the ass to create, took forever, cost a ton more to produce, and completely looked like :censored:. 

  13.  Tannehill’s best shot is to go to SF and sit behind Purdy. It’s one of the best offenses in the NFL and it gives him the best shot at success in the chance he does need to start some games.

    Speaking of dummy teams, how godsdamned stupid are the Falcons?  They set their team back years by spending a ton on a guy who's good but not good enough.  They can now neither pursue a true franchise QB for years, nor can they draft one if/when they end up with a top-5 pick (they could, but he'd just have to sit, so they'd most likely trade the pick to get more picks.)

     

    Freakin' dumb-ass team.


    I’ve said before but it bears repeating. I LOVE being in a division with the Saints, Panthers, and Falcons.

  15. Yeah for some reason Chip decided to bring in a bruiser between the tackles and constantly tried to bump him to the outside. So I kind of don’t blame Murray for basically just quitting on Philly considering that setup. It makes even less sense when you remember they ditched Shady the season before (there was obvs more to that, but it was so much more of a better fit). 
     

    I think ultimately this is a HUGE upgrade for Philly, IF he can stay healthy. That’s a huge if, though.

    I hate investing $$$ into running backs.  The Eagles are not a dumb team - in fact, they're a pretty smart team - but this signing is very much against their entire philosophy.  Kellen Moore must have lobbied hard for Barkley, but regardless, even though there's been rumors for weeks, I'm still shocked they paid money for a running back.


    Very strong Demarco Murray to the Eagles vibes with this one. 
     

     

    Titans signed Tony Pollard for big money too, which is a bit of a head scratcher because if that’s the case why not just give Henry that money? Titans, man. 
     

    I’ll take DH in Tampa for the right price, I guess 🤷‍♂️

  17. Pittsburgh seems like the most logical landing spot for him. Pickett isn’t good enough to not give this a shot. 
     

    Also, Steelers fans are the biggest fart sniffers in the NFL. Should cover up Russ’ own fart sniffing well enough.

    Still the best champion uniform that ever existed.

    Giants won three times and went with three distinctly different gold jerseys. I’ve always thought that was cool.

     

    2010: Classic Giants font

    2012: SF on the left chest

    2014: 70s/80s script

     

     

    Same cap, though (no patch for 2010, updated gold WS patch for 2012, full gold patch with the trophy on the back  for 2014) all three times. 

     

    I personally liked the 2010 jersey the best, and the 2012 cap the best.
