  1. I don't mind the Browns uniform over all. The thing that I'm hung up on is that when your logo is your helmet, it doesn't really make sense to wear a different helmet. I understand the historical accuracy of it but a graphic like the one below should match. Come up with an actual primary logo, or don't wear an alt helmet imo
  2. Ugh, I forgot they kept the navy pants and helmet from the primaries for this look though. What a mess!
  3. Have there been many other examples of this in the NFL? I can only think of a few off the top of my head: (plus other Packers throwbacks)
  4. During a trip to Italy in September 2019, I was wearing an Eagles shirt while hauling luggage from the train station to my Airbnb in Rome... I hear from an Italian guy walking towards me "How do you lose to Stafford?!" razzing me about the loss to the Lions that had just happened a few days prior. It was the last thing I would have expected to hear as I didn't expect my shirt to prompt any attention. We chatted football for a little bit and to my surprise, he rolled up his sleeve to show an Atlanta Falcons logo tattooed on his arm. The comment about my shirt was one thing but to meet a guy in Rome with a Falcons tattoo is something I never would have predicted.
  5. Haha wow, clearly I'm caught up in the Cardinals hysteria considering I even referenced that it's "Titans" backwards but couldn't even type it backwards properly Thanks for the explanation though! It's bang-on!
  6. Where did "Stanit" come from? I know it's backwards for Titans but feel like I missed the origin of it.
  7. Still not much better though considering the Chiefs won't be wearing their red jerseys for the game.
  8. I found a ‘90s Western Conference All Star jersey at my local Value Village for $9.49. Unfortunately it’s a medium and I normally wear a large so I’ll likely just try to flip it.
  9. My screenshot was from MLB.com though, not the Twins’ social media. I haven’t really seen any other instances where a team’s social media branding has bled into what MLB puts out. That’s what made me think it had more legs to it. I could be completely out to lunch though
  10. I was just checking the Twins schedule and this is the logo they’re using on the banner at the top of the page, along with brighter blue and red as mentioned above. I’m not sure how long they’ve been using it here but it caught my eye and may add to the hunch that this could be the logo to come.
  11. Well that's a pleasant surprise!
  12. Based on my ebay experiences with mini helmets, I wouldn't be surprised if that Ravens one was a custom that someone was trying to pass off as legit. I can't tell that by the photos so it could very well be real though. It would be interesting to see the bottom of the box as the team/year/description is usually embossed onto the box or written on the barcode portion. The fact that it's not pictured adds to my suspicion. I had a saved search for the Eagles 1933 throwback yellow and blue mini helmet for quite some time and the majority that came up were customs. I could tell because on the legit Riddell one, there were two overlapping blue decals... one for the "wing" portion and one for the stripe that extends to the back of the helmet. All the customs just had it as one decal. I recognize that this likely has nothing to do with the Ravens one but I know there are a lot of customs being passed off as legit on there.
  13. Wow, that’s quite the score! What were the other jerseys if you don’t mind me asking?
  14. There are 2 kinds of people on discussion boards. 1. Those who put multiple thoughts into a single post 2. Those who split the same joke up into eight different posts
  15. Well I've already posted my hockey jerseys so here are the rest of them! Baseball: Notes: - I got the Angels TATC for a ridiculously low price on eBay many years ago... I've never worn it though because the weird partial sleeves stick out very strangely. I was supposed to go to an Angels game right when the pandemic hit and I would have worn it to the game. - I got married in Niagara Falls in 2019 and a friend of mine got me the blue Toronto jersey with my last name and my wife's last name on the back along with #19. I plan on framing it at some point but haven't gotten around to it. Basketball: Notes: - I was really into basketball in high school (I bet you can figure out when that would have been based on these jerseys). My interest has tapered off quite a bit since then. - The first four jerseys I got are the only replica screenprinted ones picture above (Nuggets, Hawks, Suns, Kings). I've been on the hunt to upgrade them to swingmans like the rest of my jerseys for quite some time but it's hard to find them in good condition these days. - I grew up watching a ton of Fresh Prince and the episode where Will and Carlton are on the basketball team was always one of my favourites. When I saw a Bel-Air Academy jersey on Etsy I couldn't pass it up! - The Knicks jersey is just a generic team jersey made by Majestic with no name or number. John Cena wore a few teams in this style during his Thuganomics era so naturally I wanted one too. - Both USA jerseys are Lebron Soccer: Notes: - I'm not much of a soccer fan at all. These are either thrift store finds or jerseys from a few (but not all) countries I've visited. Football: Notes: - As you can tell, I'm an Eagles fan. During high school and early university I was buying other teams jerseys (either players I liked or jerseys I thought looked good) but at a certain point that stopped and I exclusively bought Eagles jerseys. - The #77 Dolphins jersey is a team issued practice jersey. How it ended up at a Value Village in Northern BC is beyond me but I knew I had to buy it as soon as I saw it. - I bought the Mark Sanchez jersey after he had left the team for $10 to wear to a Jets game in 2015. He was the back-up for the Eagles at the time so that helped me justify it a little. I still got chastised in Penn Station by a random guy on the escalator for it though haha - Oddly enough, aside from Sanchez a few other players were Eagles after they wore these jerseys (Vick, Brown, Young) - Not the reason I bought it but since I mentioned Fresh Prince in the basketball jersey section, I might as well mention that Will wore a Randall Cunningham jersey in the episode where he joins the poetry club. - Malcolm Jenkins jersey has a Super Bowl LII Champions patch on the front. - I've always loved the Bucs creamsicle unis and for some reason was convinced that Josh Freeman was going to be a star... I should've made a different choice on that one. Overall Notes: - Thanks @DTConcepts for starting this thread. It was fun to look through all my jerseys and take a trip down memory lane to think about when/where I bought some of these. - I knew I had a lot of jerseys but I wouldn't have guessed that the total eclipsed 70! - Aside from going to games, I barely wear any of them anymore. That said, I wouldn't want to part with any. - I'm happy to say that there are no counterfeits in my collection - Hopefully some more CCSLC'ers post their collections!
  16. Haha that’s how I’ve got them hung up in my closet too
  17. Here are my NHL jerseys. I’ll post other leagues at some point too.
  18. Technically not a thrift store find as it was an eBay purchase but I’m happy to finally have this one in my collection after being on the hunt for quite a few years! I know it’s not widely loved but for whatever reason I’ve always been a fan of it.
  19. What makes zero sense to me is that the two-tone grey sword theme is consistent throughout each jersey and pant option... only to be swapped out for grey and white on the helmet stripe "sword"
  20. Is there even room for front numbers on these? The huge NBA logo makes these look like jerseys meant for some youth initiative program or something.
  21. The Colts have the same issue... though the black/blue difference is less noticeable than the Giants' red/blue. Either way, I feel ya! It's dumb.
  22. Are the home white pants different now too? It's very hard to tell because I can only see a tiny portion of the stripes but it looks like the grey in the striping might be white now... Unless I'm just seeing things.
  23. Anyone having issues with embedded tweets not showing up? I’m on chrome for iPhone and there’s just been a big blank space wherever a tweet should be for the past few days.
  24. These Rams jerseys are much better than the bone ones but calling them a "modern throwback" is dumb.
  25. Yellow pants and helmet... that's enough of a reason to not have a yellow jersey for me.
