ESPN football scorebug change!  Think we will see this format with their college games too?

I don't believe we have photographic evidence of the revised 76er banners in the Wells Fargo Center...

... now we do.

Joel Embiid - though it may be a minute before you see him in any type of jersey soon.

Papelbon pitching in a Ruiz BP jersey, no reason given.

The same scheme as the rest of the Sixer retired numbers was used for AI.

Last year as Devil Rays, first year of Diamondback recolor.

Youk as a Yank. Saw some pictures looking for this one that showed him sans beard while with the White Sox later in 2012.

Odder yet, he's wearing 36. Deference to Posada?

Hunter Pence trades in red knee-highs for black. He's #8.

How does that make them likable? Not that it has the opposite effect but I don't think a team playing dress up to fly to away games makes them any more likable than any other team

Shows a human/fun side of them. The more people (customers) get to know these athletes the more willing they are to like them then in turn spend $$$ on the Mets.

Good on the Mets to be Rays wanna-bes.

I really love the idea with Shaq rainbow so I was trying to find another NBA player that used all the colours but I could only come up with Boris Diaw so far

I had to stretch with the All-Star jersey, but while finding JJ I also stumbled upon a couple more players. Images only came up for Joe Johnson, so I had to go with him.

So the next challenge is to find a player who completes the rainbow without using Phoenix!

Right team, wrong uni Randall ...

This is a different interpretation of "wrong" uniform, that much is certain. Here is another example.

Oil Can Boyd was an Expo?

Brian Westbrook Ronnie Brown, Philadelphia Eagles

David Wells, also as a Cincinnati Red:

December 26, 1995: Reds trade David Wells to the Orioles for Trovin Valdez and Curtis Goodwin.

I'll never understand why they put the number on the (viewer's) left side. IIRC, they eventually transitioned it to the correct side, but in the interim there was players with it in the left and others with it on the right at the same time. Sloppy.

But, consistent with the homes of that era, where the number was on the same side. Granted, the other side was just the C-REDS mark, so it didn't look as awkward.

Luis Castillo - started Spring Training with the Mets, was released, was picked up by the Phillies, but never made the big club by Opening Day.

Roy Oswalt from his rehab start with the Clearwater Threshers

So the question is - what do they do if they win the wild card but not the NL? It's not really a championship, but it does represent a playoff appearance. I hope that they don't honor it with a flag, since despite what the Rockies will tell you, it's NOT a championship. I have a feeling that they will though, which begs the question of what color it would be.

They could go with powder blue. Not a current team color, but was a part of their scheme in the maroon days. Plus, you can't really walk more than twenty feet in Citizens Bank Park without running into somebody wearing powder blue Phillies gear.

Brian Westbrook, the 49er

JA Happ, for one night at least, immensely better than the guy for which he was traded.

If the city name doesn't appear on the road uniform, it doesn't bother me.

Not so much because Jason Kapono is in a Sixer uniform, but since when has a basketball player worn 72? Explanation - Jason's number in his previous NBA stops was 24, but that number is retired in Philadelphia for Bobby Jones. Kapono is a 3-point specialist. 24 x 3 = a Sixers number for JK.
