  1. Did anybody else notice the pearl necklace in the original leak?
  2. It's a real surprise Dick didn't choose 69 as his number .
  3. Yeah, the official league site probably should get that right! I check on with the NLL from time to time (former MILL NE Blazer fan back in worcester) and that website has been largely a mess for years, seems like the rebrand a few years back allowed for some major upgrades, but it still feels limited/unintuitive, but they don't have something that wildly wrong!
  4. Ah, I glanced over that but it didn't register fully, i think there even was a reference to 3rd and goal? Are indoor fields 55 yards? 50? Not great, but I wonder how much it'd cost to reconfigure an existing football app/scirebug/scorecard for that, or if any of the other leagues have/had it.
  5. Really? That's crazy, I had no idea. What was wrong with the picture?
  6. The gradient dyed/sublimated socks are going to be the equivilant of the vertical stripe edge socks. Also, knees are not really a good place for logos. Even the Cleveland Browns realized the visible stitching was a garish idea years ago. The bottom hem also will probably see a few teams drop their bottom stripe, the Flyers new jerseys did that this year. The ribbed breezers don't really seem pleasurable or necessary except for fanatics own branding.
  7. This thread is 16 years old and begins with a new Tampa proposal! In that time, seven teams have new ballparks, and Tampa's current stadium is now the 7th oldest in baseball. How time flies when you're having fun! I refuse to check on Arizona Coyotes posts here.
  8. The 'D' of San Diego actually stands for Due North. You can tell by its placement in the logo.
  9. Improve literacy rates via a sleeve patch? That's not even how you spell 'cutie'. Also, the third proposed downtown location for the Royals is plopped down in an existing neighborhood of local businesses, which are now banding together to stop it. They better get part owner (1%) Patrick Mahomes II on the streets to get their sales tax extended.
  10. Somewhere In Mississippi, Brett Farve is getting very excited and having a fever dream about talking Bettman into bringing a team to Hattiesburg.
  11. It worked for Oklahoma City and the Hornets. The NBA had no problem allowing the Supersonics to relocate there after OKC drew nearly 16000 a game for two years.
  12. Instead, they'll just steal the Cowboys' template, change the blue to green and call it a day. What they should do: what admiral said, take the reduced 00s Namath jerseys and add the brighter green, hoping that the same bastardization of them doesn't occur with every biannual template change and always avoid heading to military style olive green, which is almost where that set ended up. I don't mind the 80s look for nostalgia reasons, but everybody must admit it's a pretty basic jersey. The 80s helmet logo however, is light years better than the thing they wear now.
  13. For anybody following the mess the Royals have created trying desperately to leave Kauffman Stadium, here's a pretty good rundown, and here's a story about Frank White's block to extend the sales tax.
  14. I think we can stop with the sanctity of the Yankees uniforms. Classics yes, but there's an ad patch on them, so the hand wringing over an alternate jersey is closing the barn doors at this point. Plus, they've worn every mother's day, little league, camoflauge and other assorted merchandise MLB has offered over the years.
  15. I'd like to recommend a documentary to everyone then I'll go..."
  16. Valparaiso debated going with an angry anthropomorphic Ark of the Covenant shooting laser beams and destroying Nazis but then they ultimately chose a different studio besides Brandiose. The alt was a smirking squirrel with a bullwhip and fedora.
  17. Didn't want to search for a two/three year old thread, but there's a new documentary coming out about the demise of the Alliance of American Football.
  18. Can't wait to see the Beamin' Beacons vs the Demon Deacons in the NCAA tournament someday.
  19. If I remember correctly, UT put up harsh resistance to a USL?potential MLS team from using its soccer stadium (a field with bleachers), I'd imagine there's 0% chance UT would let their football stadium be used for an NFL team, no matter how short/long the stay. Also, good luck finding land to build a football stadium in Austin. May as well put it in Waco or San Antonio, its the closest its getting to being inside the city limits. But congrats Austin, on becoming the next Major League Bridesmaid!
  20. I just assume by 2030 the big money making programs will figure out a way to make a 30 or 32 team mega money making league and every other program will be left out in the cold. Looking at the leagues 29texan put together already shows the American 16 and CUSA will have a hard time attracting viewers outside hardcore college football fans or individual fans of those programs. A team like KState is not going to amount to anything nationally in any conference it joins. If two high profile schools like OU and Texas can plot this SEC move in secret and have it finished and all wrapped in a bowtie within a week, imagine what a cabal including Ohio St, Michigan, Alabama and the other high rollers can accomplish once they figure out their best road forward when they see the pot of gold they can control for themselves. Ironically, I'm not even sure OU and Texas will ever play an SEC game, instead popping into the 2025 Super Conference.
  21. Cleveland's Al Lerner patch remains the worst owner patch ever on an NFL jersey.
  22. ESPN announced their lineup of play by play and analysts for the NHL, Sean McDonough doing play by play and Steve Levy in the studio. It's a pretty big and ambitious lineup that even includes Spanish language play by play for ESPN Deportes. It looks like a lot of analysts will be integrated into existing shows (Get Up, etc.) throughout the regular broadcast schedule. https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/nhl-on-espn-coverage-team-announced.html Kenny Albert and Eddie Olczyk were previously announced as the game announcers over at TBS.
  23. With the grey and blue cap, and those vertical white and blue stripes, it looks like somebody with a sense of humor just stuck a Rams logo on a Lions hat.
