  1. No way, they’ve had those stripes forever! You can spot a Sags jersey from a mile away.
  2. I know that it isn’t the same logo, but the only thing that I can think of when seeing this are the Sarnia Sting.
  3. https://www.echl.com/news/2019/4/athletic-knit-named-exclusive-jersey-provider-of-the-echl ECHL jerseys will be produced by Athletic Knit beginning next season.
  4. Those carbon fiber collars are...interesting, and not in a good way. Random rant, but this thread is the only semi-appropriate place for it: Speaking of downgrades, I still can't get over the Cincinnati Cyclones change from a couple years ago. There are a lot of terrible jerseys in "the coast", but that one absolutely takes the cake. I used to go to a lot of their games when I moved to Cincinnati, and I never thought a rebrand could make me lose interest in a team as it's just laundry after-all, but they've managed to do it.
  5. "Let me get back to ya Charlie, I've got a guy on the other line askin' about some whitewalls"
  6. I know that a lot of it was out of necessity, but things like this always make me wonder who the first person to try something was, and what was going through their mind. Like who is the first person to eat the balls of a bull? Why? Same with onions. Who was the first genius to pull an onion out of the ground and say to themselves "this thing smells so good, I can't wait to bite into it!"?
  7. Unpopular opinion...I thought Starter NHL replicas were garbage when they came out in the 90's, and I still have no idea why people look back on them with fondness today. They were stretchy, and I'm convinced that present-day counterfeiters bought the excess stock of crests and patches to put on the jerseys they're selling now.
  8. I actually really like the Cowboys "green" pants
  9. I don't know...I hate the Blues with a burning passion, and I know that I'm in the minority with this, but the jerseys that they wore with Oates/Hull/Shanahan/Joseph in the early 90's were the best they've looked to my eyes.
  10. Agreed. A lot of people, especially casual fans, don't know the difference, and most don't care. Obviously, most of us on this board can spot fakes from a mile away, but this is a relatively small community. The funny thing is, everyone seems to love the replica Starter hockey jerseys from the 90's. I hated them then, and I still wouldn't own one today. But when I see and feel a counterfeit hockey jersey, the material always reminds me of those terrible Starter replicas.
  11. I don't really see how this is an unpopular opinion. Any time the Flames are discussed, people come out of the woodwork in droves talking about how awesome these were. I happen to disagree...I hate these jerseys, but it seems like I'm in the minority with that.
  12. Strictly speaking, that's not an unused logo - at least one of their corporate partners (a bank, IIRC) used it in their promotions. But it's certainly not one I wanted to see in real life. I lived in Indianapolis in the mid-late 00's, and a bank definitely used that logo. My buddy is a huge Colts fan, and his debit card/checks had that logo. It was also used on TV, as well as in signage around town. Also, as an aside, I knew a girl who worked in the Colts team store at the Circle Center Mall around that same time, and she told me that the Colts were seriously considering adding silver to their on-field uniforms. Black had also been tossed around, but she said that Irsay hated black on uniforms and vetoed it every time it came up. Not sure what sort of inside knowledge she had, if any, but most of the people working at that store seemed to be pretty knowledgable about more than I would've guessed for just being team store employees.
  13. That's why they have Alternate uniforms. And? The early 2000s Ottawa Senators distinctly stand out to me because half the time they wore the 3D logo and half the time they wore the 2D logo. The Habs are another great example because their uniforms are so historic. The mismatched look worked for the Senators. That set was a million times better than what they wear now. I have to disagree. I HATED their 3D logo jerseys, and the current number/letter font is also a lot better. Just my opinion, but while I really liked the original Sens jerseys, I have never understood the love for their 3D black alternate or red home from that era. Also, aside from it being a template jersey, I don't understand the hatred for their current set.
  14. As much as I like tradition, I think I'm the only person on the planet that likes the Buccaneers newest uniforms. I'm going to go run and hide now, tell me when it's safe to come out...
