Agreed. I don't get all the hate. Thirded! Decent old style feel without copying anything. All the hate seems to be very petty, numbers too thin, bad word mark etc.

I wouldn't say pullovers should be worn again, but it wouldn't be beyond someone to take design inspiration from that era.

I am not at all attacking Negro Leagues. But I think my problem is the league whose racist, segragationist policies forced those leagues to exist profitting from the use and sale of jerseys from those teams. Doesn't seem very respectful to me.

This. The MLB does the same thing from time to time. And it's just as bad there, even if sometimes it's throwing back to Negro League teams. It needs to stop!!

Haha, I love this. A man noone would vote for in a uniform noone would wear

Things I've learnt from this thread- Gordie Howe has worn just about every possible hockey jersey going, at one time or another.

The idea is that you raise your arms in victory after a win or goal and show off your glorious armpits of triumph. One of the dumbest uniform idiosyncrasies around. Things have certainly improved in this regard in the last 30 years!

I like the modern, stripped back style Superbowl logos. Certainly they work better as uniform patches.

I don't like the Packers road uniforms, they would be much better with green pants.

I second this. I also love EVERYTHING about the current Seahawks identity--the colors, the logo, the jerseys, etc. Would be much better if the blues matched.

Don't suppose Fox or CBS would go near any league that would actually do this. But it could be an interesting route for a minority league, looking to create an identity and some news coverage, to go down.

Hmm. Don't you think that would ruin regional rivalries (and rivalries in general) then? I kind of like having the same teams in each division each season. Well I dunno, depends on the scrupples of each 'commisioner'. But if it were say the NFL doing this (and like I say I am not actually recommending this for a big 4 sport) then if someone drafted say the New York Jets early, then the other commisioner might have to make a decision about say drafting the Patriots in order to scupper that rivalry or leaving the Patriots in order to pack his own league with rivalries. It would be an interesting way to build rivalry between conferences.

Here is a wacky NHL all star inspired thought. Why not have a league where your draft the conferences and divisions each year? Have a commisioner for each conference and draft which teams they get each year, then they can align the divisions themselves? Actually it's all sounding a bit WWE now I write it, but for a minority sport (maybe even MSL) could it work?

I do find it interesting to wonder what will be the 'right' uniform for Garnett in, say, 10 years time. If say the Celtics won a second title with Garnett in there, surely it would be difficult to take him away from Boston fans. But then how do Minnesota fans feel about him being so connected to the Celtics? Is he a guy who you can happily connect with both of his franchises? Same for Ray Allen come to think of it.

He "affected" his Sox fandom throughout his presidential run too and I have a hard time believing he expected that to win him any votes. Maybe he just really REALLY likes the Sox? That said, Scott Walker (A-1 sleazebag and candidate for Governor of Wisconsin) was outside of Lambeau a couple weeks ago decked out head-to-toe in Packers gear in a couple weeks ago in a sorry attept to show what a "regular guy" he is. I'd be shocked if he could actually name a single player on the roster besides Aaron Rodgers or Donald Driver, but it doesn't make me cringe because I understand he's a politcian doing what politicans do... pandering to morons. What does make me cringe is the idea that someone may actually be stupid enough to think "I'm gonna vote for Scott Walker because Aaron Rodgers kicks ass!!!" or just the idea of Walker being Governor at all really, but because he happens to put on green & gold every now and then... seriously? Of course the worst piece of sports related political pandering, at least in America, that I can think of was when Giuliani, a guy who has made a lot of political capital out of being a Yankees fan, said he was rooting for the Red Sox in the World Series in 07, months before the NH primary. Obama strikes me as a pretty genuine sports fan, he does seem to know what he is talking about when he talks sport. He looked pretty natural wearing a White Sox shirt, not like its the first time he has ever put on a baseball shirt. And its not like he said 'I support the White Sox and Cubs' he nailed his colors properly to the White Sox mast.

Here are the Lakers rings Complete with personalised image http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/10/27/lakers.rings/ They sound like the blingiest rings ever.

A 4,000th post special- Mick Channon, Southampton legend in the right uniform left to join Manchester City for a year Reruned to the Saints (He also played for Norwich and P h at the end of his career, but couldn't find any photos of that.

Of course Obama did appoint Dan Rooney as ambassador to Ireland.

All these years later, is TATC such a big secret? Apparently to those who can't use the search feature...or Google. You're a cool guy. I really mean that. It was just brought up during the telecast yesterday, so I posted a pic. No need to get all high and mighty on a damn internet message board. For anyone interested here are some more TATC jerseys

Heck no! To me, this is one of the weirdest photos to look at in the World of Sports.... Its odd isn't it. I brought up KG earlier as a Celtic. But I think there is a difference. I think Malone winning a championship with LA would have been more akin to Ray Bourque winning a cup with the Avalanche, than KG in Boston. I think that Malone went to LA to win a championship, rather than to lead a team to the championship, which is more akin to what KG did. And KG has immersed himself in the Celtics now. You always had the feeling Malone was just flying in to LA

He fit in so well and quickly as a Celtics, it seems like he was destined to be in green. KG in a Timberwolves uniform looks like a legend in the wrong uniform to me now. Its odd isn't it, because I would sort of agree with you. But I think its interesting that Garnett seems like a man living out his destiny with a ring in Boston, whereas say Ray Bourque has to go to Colorado to win the Stanley Cup, but he will be forever a Bruin to a lot of people, I think.

As a very quick aside on this topic. How in years to come are people going to feel about Kevin Garnett's years in Boston? I mean, without finally getting a championship in Boston, he would be a shoo in for this topic, but I kind of think of Garnett as a Celtic now, not a T-wolf seeing out his final years in the wrong uniform.

A few soccer ones, Frank Lampard (jr) in a West Ham strip early on in his career (His dad is a bit of a West ham legend, but odd to see junior in the claret and blue!) George Best in Fulham kit Wayne Rooney at Everton

That 84 Celtics ring is my favourite so far. Must say I like the Stanley Cup/Grey Cup rings with the cup on the front as well though.
