From what I understand…Back in the 60s they took out the track, but they didn’t want people sitting too high over the field, especially those in the first rows of that end. So they built the hill up to reduce the height. It’s essentially a “safety measure” in case people go over the railing.

Doesn’t look to be a Virginia Tech maroon though, unless the lighting’s just crazy

I mean, the Raiders were going to move to anywhere else by 2030 no matter what. A number of local Oakland groups didn’t want a new A’s stadium in any scenario and hey congrats to them for pushing the team out of the state. Mission accomplished!

William and Mary had/maybe still has dark green hats with Vegas gold accents…and they looked pretty good. Though I hope the A’s continue with green and athletic yellow, wouldn’t be shocked if they changed the shade.

The Buckeye-looking uniforms are someone’s guess…the guy posted on Twitter that it’s just a concept he came up with

That’s not what’s implied at first glance though. It’s a rare clumsy move from the Yanks. If the White Sox celebrated the 85th anniversary of Comiskey Park in 1995 by stitching together the old and new park, people would still say the new park has very little to do with the old one and the old one didn’t last 85 years.

You’re moving the goal posts and/or arguing in bad faith. I’m not saying Reggie Jackson and Derek Jeter can’t take pictures with an old photo of old Yankee Stadium in their hands. That’s fine…they’re celebrating the original relic. If they celebrated by holding a picture of new Yankee Stadium, then it wouldn’t make much sense. If Paul. and Ringo made an album with two other musicians tomorrow it wouldn’t really be The Beatles. If Ringo and Paul were in a picture with four members of a Beatles cover band with the title “60th Anniversary of the Beatles first album” everyone would ask why the cover band was included.

Then they shouldn’t have put new Yankee Stadium in the graphic, if it’s only about an old Yankee Stadium event. You don’t celebrate the anniversary of Beatles first album by showing every other album that came after it…if you did, you’d just be celebrating 60 years of Beatles’ music. When we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, not much attention was paid to the other five successful trips. All the focus was on Apollo 11.

Timberwolves is very much gray.

Should have gone with “100 Years of Yankee Stadium” When you marry two people with the same name, you don’t combine the years when you celebrate anniversaries.

Why would they put the Bucco Bruce helmet logo on the sleeves? Stripes on the sleeve, fine…numbers on the shoulder, ok…but there’s no reason for the logo to be on the sleeves

“We know you all have heard rumors about new uniforms, and we’re excited to unveil them today… with that said, please take a look at the new Nike jersey template we’ll wear in the fall” - solid 10% chance this happens

The Chargers alternate white helmet with navy mask is the worst one in their set, and the basis of it didn’t look great from 2007-18. The Texans prototype white helmet with navy mask isn’t as cool as the red one.

The black helmet is fine, especially with a dark metallic helmet already in the division.

It’s kind of shocking in this day (from a ticket/revenue standpoint) that CU still has the “Colorado” hill past the endzone…but everyone would complain if it was removed. Just an odd quirk that it’s there because it’s seemingly always been there.

No worries, no need to delete.

With all due respect, we talked about that sign weeks ago. One sign doesn’t tell us much…what did previous signs look like?

I’d say the current Dolphins look is far better designed than the 97-12 Machine font-with-navy-dropshadow jerseys. The leaping helmeted dolphin is better than the current dolphin though.

Why will the injuries increase if these games are replacing regular season games?

Wazzu’s big announcement was spring game unis…same unis, gray helmets for both crimson and white jerseys Big nothingburger

2013 Dolphins was garbage. 2018 Dolphins was good.

Though the logo was officially revealed at or just before the Pro Bowl because it was everywhere at the new stadium. One of the earliest new logo reveals I can remember.

Looking forward to the “We’re just switching to anthracite and white now but adding more black” news

You’d think Stance would have made teal socks for the throwback. Speaking of which, Stance has been a pretty big disappointment in the MLB space.

To get viewers interested in November/December basketball (because who really cares about NBA games until Christmas?), take eyes away from late-season NFL, if possible, and thus, juice the new media contract coming up in a couple years. Looking down the road, college football playoff expansion will happen sooner and will be much bigger if the NBA's tournament is successful, as TV networks will have to make business case decisions on those corporate write offs known as low-level bowl games. The NCAA will be chasing that TV money and they don't want it all to go to the NBA. Gary Bettman will also probably try to do something similar, by having the Bruins/Rangers/Penguins/Red Wings participate in a four-team, triple-elimination mid-season round robin tournament for the next 40 years.
