  1. Getting people accustomed to football jerseys without shoulder numbers just opens up space for jersey ads. I think I read Goodell was against jersey ads, but he's not going to be commissioner forever, and the NFL proves over and over it really is only about money. Remember a few years ago on the board when people here were sure MLB would be the last league to have ads because they were the most traditional and blah blah blah? 

     

    Also, all the unique fonts team use now just reminds me of a school assignment when everybody has to 'design a font from scratch, but make it mean something' project. It's cool because the Texans kinda have a bull logo, and now one of the parts of the 3 on the jersey looks like a horn from a bull, isn't that creative? And intimidating?

  2. 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!

    How long is an IFL field?

    What does the drive chart show?

    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.

  4. 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.

    New jersey patch for KC 

     

    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.

    SLC is not getting the A's full-time and they know that. But they're also looking at making an impression for the future.  Memphis knew that with the Oilers/Titans in Nashville, they were never going to get an NFL team of they're own. Tennessee is just not a two-market state in any sport. But Salt Lake can get an MLB team even with the A's in Vegas (not saying they will, but it's a possibility that doesn't exist in the Memphis-NFL scenario), so yes, it is a very strong possibility that they have a big turnout for the A's, even if only for a temporary basis.

    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.

    I've always thought the Jets should just steal the Colts template.  Simply switch out the blue for green.

    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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

    Kenny Albert and Eddie Olczyk were previously announced as the game announcers over at TBS.
