Good lord, that home uniform

I wish the road pants had stripes (or just pair that jersey with the silver ones. We don't need blue ones), and I'm not a fan of the big wordmarks on jerseys. But I can live with the road set.

The black jersey on its own is ehhhh ok, I guess. It's better than the old gray one, although that's not saying much.

Not a fan of the black jersey, but the home and away look really solid. I wish they'd updated the wordmark (or honesty just didn't put it on the jersey at all), but that's a minor annoyance. Hopefully the pants have matching stripes, but it looks like I'll be buying a new jersey this year.

I got really worried when I saw the Lions one on its own, and it had a black primary logo. I'm a little less worried now that I see every team has a graphite version.

(I'm still terrified)

Edit: Dang it. The Lions have both a graphite AND a black hat, although the black hat at least has a blue logo. But I've got the feeling a black alt uniform is on the way

The only acceptable sponsor (aside from none, obviously) is Orioles-themed Mr. Boh

I think everyone needs to see this.

I really like a lot of those BP caps. Baltimore's is incredible, and I'm so happy to see the Phanatic on a part of the uniform. I wish he was a sleeve patch on their normal uniforms (I also wish every team had fun mascot logos )

You know what must now be done...the Admirals must dust off the skating fridge sweaters in retaliation

Genuinely one of my favorite hockey logos of all-time. I bought a hat and a shirt of it and wish I could've got a jersey.

Perfection.

My only argument would be to change to helmet logo to the original one, but these uniforms are damn near perfect.

Grand Rapids...Flying Toasters?

The logo is somehow better than their normal one at least.

Nationals gray unis look like they should be in Eastbound & Down

I wish the Flyers weren't opposed to outlining their numbers.

Did anyone catch this in real time?  Didn't even cross my mind.  Bowles' justification is the equivalent of "I'm hearing this for the first time".

 

 

I thought the same thing watching the game. Someone on reddit (obviously not the most reliable source ) mentioned basically a "gentleman's agreement" that Bowles just kinda conceded that the game was over, but I find that hard to believe that he wouldn't use that timeout in a chance to go to the NFC Championship. It was really,  really strange. But I also really don't think the Lions would have taken that knee early by accident (despite our franchise's history of losing games in the most stupid ways possible). While Campbell can be aggressive and reckless, I don't think he's a dumb guy, and I think Goff is enough of a veteran to understand the clock. Either way, I was yelling at the TV because that's exactly how the Lions would lose.

A few months back there was a guy that escaped from prison around here and was armed and dangerous.  But he was a shorter individual.  Once apprehended, after a multi-week manhunt, he was returned to prison and there was a big press conference with a Lt. Colonel of the State Police, and governor.

 

One of the reporters* asked the police chief if, since he was shorter, they were ever afraid that he'd partner up with another short man and walk around in a trench coat "lil rascals style".  The Lt. simply said "no".

 

*turns out it was some guy who's dog got loose and he followed the dog into what turned out to be the press conference, so he stayed and posed as a reporter.  That may be the dumbest question ever asked (had it been legit.)

 

 

 

I laughed out loud when I was watching the presser for Cavalcante and heard that question. It was fantastic.

Side note: I've already forgotten about that, even though he was like 15 minutes from my house and literally in my brother's neighborhood at one point, and I was absolutely glued to the live streams when it seemed like they were about to get him.

Congrats to the Lions. I can't even imagine how Lions fans are feeling right now.

Kinda like this

I'm ecstatic to finally have that win past us, but admittedly not feeling super confident moving forward. The "bend, don't break" defense is stressful to watch, and the offense seems to go completely flat at times, as demonstrated yesterday in the 2nd half. Missing tackles and giving up 3rd and longs can't continue to win football games, although I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

That said, from the beginning of the season, I felt like this should be a good "step forward" season, so winning the division and a home playoff game definitely feels like a success. Looking forward to the rest of the playoffs and the future for once.

Rams vs Lions with Stafford vs Goff. Wonder how many fans in the crowd will have Stafford jerseys in the stands

My most current Lions jerseys are both Stafford, partially because I'm [cautiously] awaiting the new uniforms next season to get a new one. I'm not going, but if I was going to the game this weekend I guess I'd just have to bust out the ol' Charlie Batch jersey (or more than likely just wear a Lions hoody) to avoid wearing Stafford gear.

Not too bad looking of a Winter Classic

I wish Vegas had some gray striping on the jersey and maybe even gloves to match. The socks having an abundance of gray and gray pants make the jersey look a little disjointed. But all in all, a pretty solid looking game. Seattle's jersey is gorgeous.

Tank weighs in on the Dodgers signing Yamamoto.

 

 

Anyone just anxiously waiting for his glasses to perfectly fall down like his hat did in the subway? 

Who would've thought that promoting Matt Patricia would result in blowing a 4th quarter lead?

I believe he referred to that as "Dagger Time" in Detroit.

I'm sorry, Chargers fans. All six of you.

Big fan of the Chargers' backup though.

If we learned anything from the Zack Greinke signing, it's that the Dodgers signing a free agent away from the Angels will make Arte go panic mode and ridiculously overpay for a bust.

Who's the 2024 equivalent of washed up Vernon Wells?

As an Angels fan, this sucks, but I'm also admittedly a little relieved. That contract is absolutely outrageous, but I also really didn't want anyone else to have Ohtani

Can't blame the guy for leaving though. 

The Greensboro Grasshoppers update (right) is really solid.

Lions would have looked awesome with white jersey and blue pants. Shame.

This is the best option if they have to wear the blue helmet. The uniforms tonight are atrocious. There's a part of me that thinks the gray jersey is dark enough to work with white pants, but I'm not sure. Not saying it should be worn at all, but the mono-gray is terrible.

Those swooshes on the socks bother me way more than they probably should.
