  1. Sigh… the Mariners need to ditch the Sunday creme. They sold well because of the novelty. Getting rid of the gray is a softball-league style move. Just change up the road grays so they have a new look.
  2. Keep licking those boots, I’m sure the billionaires will love you back. Sportswashing for healthcare conglomerates and insurance companies have gone on for far too long. I’ve had enough. Wake up, the rest of the civilized world doesn’t put up with medical care that serves only grifters and religious zealots.
  3. Before anyone tries to call Providence a “non-profit”: a quick Google says the CEO makes $11.5 million a year
  4. OMG… Brendan Donnelly, the Hold King. I can’t believe my fantasy league then even used that stat.
  5. Liga MX continues to set the gold standard for kits that look like NASCAR suits
  6. This is the story of our lives here. We seem to be held to a higher standard than other cities even though our metro area is huge and has the money to support all four major sports. The Sonics were stolen by David Stern and his cronies and STILL aren’t back.
  7. Texans May be changing unis. So get ready for the end of a modern classic (minus the stupid huge collar) and more Jags-style silliness.
  8. Wish we could dump sponsors entirely from kits. I’m ok with the uniform manufacturer’s small logos. Problem is it would take an unprecedented amount of cooperation among the top countries, because right now everybody “has” to do it to stay competitive
  9. I don’t know about that… it’s not like Johnny Cash is on the top of the Gen Z charts either. It’s a matter of time. Jimi was decades ago but you can’t deny his influence still pervades all of rock and the Seattle music scene. I do think grunge is a much more relevant influence for the times. Nirvana and Soundgarden etc. Seattle would do better to try a flannel kit, but red is more of a Timbers color. So they’d have to do a different color But Portland may also ruin it with the plaid this year.
  10. ?? There are already people wearing Metropolitan sweaters around town. It’s kind of a hipster item IMO, they will definitely sell the sweaters. I’m not sure what’s desperate about giving a hockey-crazed town a Winter Classic. T-Mobile is an ideal venue given the roof and all the amenities there.
  11. As it should have been all along. Can’t wait for the next team to be something like Cleveland United City ScFC
  12. They’ve had a run of bad home jerseys, but the current ones are very good (although I wish they went full checkerboard or B/G stripes), and the last blue kit was good. I have loved the weird color choices in the past and this looks like another one. The electric yellow and cyan kits in the early 10s were and I hope they go back. I think the problem has been avoiding a clash with Adidas goalie kits. Also, to the fellow who suggested every team have a white clash kit: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
  13. I just cannot get over how much better the No-outline “M” is versus what they actually went with. SMH.
  14. The Kraken have an interesting conundrum coming up. I love the reverse retro which is primarily ice blue. But! I think we can all agree the Kraken need a light blue third that features the anchor logo and the standard striping pattern. But they have two blues to choose from: Personally I LOVE shadow blue. Just a beautiful color. Plus as an added bonus it would allow the team to more easily keep the current striping pattern since the top stripe is already ice blue. It might look awkward to have ice blue bleed transition into more ice blue, and the Kraken have the unique position of avoiding white on the home sweater. But the RR already proves ice blue looks great on a sweater. It’s a big favor to ask, but I wonder if someone could mock up a Kraken third in both colors to see which one looks better. I have to believe we will see a third soon because the Kraken have so far sold every iteration of sweater like hot cakes.
  15. Morocco looks so good. What a world we’re living in where Puma outclasses Nike and Adidas. Atlhough this WC May be Nike’s poorest showing ever. Just absolute trash with the exception of France.
  16. Washington Huskies too - I call their current colors blurple and tan versus the purple and gold they are supposed to be. But i won’t lose any sleep at night over my rivals’ continued botched branding.
  17. Just want to drop in a quick note of appreciation to Kansas State. Despite the hiccup in the Ron P era that we will pretend never happened, KSU has never been bullied into switching out of one of the absolute best uniforms in college football. Even today they could have done some stupid monochrome thing or "icy whites" and they went for a look that put TCU's mix-n-match to shame. I'm not against an alternate helmet or pants with the same striping scheme but why mess with perfrction?
  18. Really missed an huge opportunity to become the Simon Fraser Clam.
  19. Blasty would look so good on a red sweater, but I get why they wanted an alternate color.
  20. Facts. We should have been allowed to rob Bright Verde from Austin lol. In reality they just need to tweak it or maybe go a little more sea foam-y with it. Get that weird tinge out of it and find a color that plays better with our beautiful secondary colors.
  21. That’s the pinkest red I’ve ever seen in my life. It would be fine if the league hadn’t just added a pink team not that long ago. Then again it’s not like “city” is the height of originality either. The ads have to stop. Completely out of control. I haven’t bought an MLS shirt in years with the poor replica quality and the ads. I’m trying to vote with my wallet but I suppose it’s hard to teach the league its lesson when they add a shiny new franchise every single year.
  22. I must admit I was wrong. The Kraken RRs look good in person… like really good. The big fat block numbers balance out the stripe and while it should still be the anchor on the front I can live with the S. (Wondering if supply chain issues messed up any chance of getting a detailed anchor?) Unfortunately Carson Soucy decided to ruin the night for everyone so that may be another L in the column for “look good, play good”.
  23. The Panthers need a custom number font. The uniform has so many curved elements including striping on the pants, jersey and helmet. Plain old block numbers look silly. The all-black set makes it even more noticeable.
  24. The quasar is about the only good thing about LAG’s current branding. It’s honestly the one thing they should keep. It will also be interesting to see what happens as I can’t imagine AEG will be thrilled with LAFC being the cool kids in town. They probably make a run at Ronaldo or another aging euro star.
