    Also I never understood what was so great about the Houston Oilers identity. The colours were pretty unique, beyond that they had a clip art oil derrick for a logo and a a generic striping pattern. Nothing about it screams "untouchable" or "iconic" to me.

    Along the same lines, what's so "untouchable" or "iconic" about the New York Yankees, Chicago Bears, or Boston Celtics?

    Even if they wanted to, they couldn't retain the name for legal reasons. And "Oilers" doesn't really fit in Tennessee, although that hasn't stopped plenty of other teams from keeping names that don't make sense in new cities.

    What “legal reasons” prevented the owner of a sports team from keeping the name “Oilers” after he moved the franchise?

    The old Huskie dog logo was so bad that I can’t even believe it was being used in 2017.  Looks like a 7-year old won a contest to design the school logo and he drew in some red eyes to make it look like the devil’s pet.  The new Huskie head reminds me of the 1980’s Washington Huskie logo.

    This road uni is far better than what the Cubs wear today, and probably the best (or maybe Top 3) the Cubs have worn all time. I think my only critique is it only needed one sleeve patch, and though the Cubs patch looks nice, the 80s/90s bear patch was probably a better choice and synced with the home jersey:

    I would rather see baseball teams wearing baseball uniforms and not pajamas.

    I think the Jazz set would be one of the best and most interesting in the NBA if they lopped off the sleeves.

     

    Speaking of pajamas...

    OK, I am not quite sure how "unpopular" these are, but seems to go against the grain of the board from what I've read:

     

    2. I like European hockey jerseys with all the ads all over them. Part of it might be that I don't know what the company being advertised is, but I think they look really cool.

    Unpopular x infinity!

  7. I like the iverson era 76ers uniforms better then their current ones.

    I like the Gold wizards jersey.

    I like the oilers pre edge jerseys the best, including the meteor alternate.

    I think some NHL teams should incorporate brown into their uniforms more often (gloves, pants, helmets)

    I think the mid 90's cavs template is the best.

    It was an oil drop, not a meteor:

    i stand corrected.

    still a great look though.

    As a fan of traditional jerseys, I thought these were actually pretty cool - as an alternate jersey. Something completely outside-the-box that's worn sparingly. What makes it super-awesome is the five rivets on the gear, symbolizing the Oilers' five Stanley Cup championships. Nicely done.

  8. There were many things wrong with these Vikings uniforms, but the collar wasn't one of those things. I don't have any problem with any of the other "toilet bowls" either, so long as they aren't those gargantuan Nike collars introduced a few years ago. Small ones like this? Perfectly fine, even good.

    I was stunned this past season when Greg Coleman, a former Viking player, commented that the new uniforms would take some getting used to because he is an "old-school" guy. The above uniform is what was replaced. Could not believe his comment given the hot piping and funky collar mess this thing is. The new Viking uniform is closer to what Tommy Kramer and the gang wore back in the day than this monstrosity.
