    the 1987-1990 White Sox uni's may be the worst in baseball or at least most uninspired.

     

    The ChiSox had lost their identity until they adopted their current set back in the 90's.  I hope they never deviate from those except for some occasional throwback games.

  2. If Nike would do something with the socks to break up the leotard look, I would give them high marks on the uniforms they've introduced for 2020.  They made some choices that I wouldn't have made, but I've kept my traditional mind open and I think each offering is an upgrade to last season's uniforms.

    I wasn't a huge fan, but the BFBS did look pretty good in some contexts:

    They really just screwed up by forcing the black drop-shadows into the normal home and road instead of leaving it for the alternates.

     

    YES, that and the fact they are didn't wear the pinstripes enough killed it for me.  The black jerseys on their own weren't bad.

    Yeah, I didn't want to go that far into the weeds but since you bring it up, we have all these major concert/stage venues in competition:

     

    *Walt Disney Concert Hall

    *Pantages Theatre

    *Microsoft Theater

    *Hollywood Bowl

    *Dolby Theatre

    *Forum

    *FivePoint Ampitheatre

    *Greek Theatre

    *Segerstrom Center for the Arts/Concert Hall

    *Dorothy Chandler Pavilion

    *Ahmanson Theatre

    *Mark Taper Forum

    *Orpheum Theatre

    *Saban Theatre

    *Hollywood Palladium

    *Wiltern Theatre

    *Numerous clubs, community theaters, college theaters, etc.

     

    Then for museums we have, but not limited to:

     

    *Hammer Museum of Art

    *Gene Autry Museum of the American West

    *USS Iowa

    *The Broad

    *California Science Center

    *Getty Center

    *Getty Villa

    *Grammy Museum

    *Griffith Park Observatory

    *LA County Museum of Art

    *Museum of Contemporary Art

    *Missions San Juan Capistrano, San Gabriel, San Fernando, and San Buenaventura (not going as far as Santa Barbara for this purpose)

    *Museum of Tolerance

    *LA County Natural History Museum

    *Page Museum/La Brea Tar Pits

    *Petersen Automotive Museum

    *Skirball Cultural Museum

    *Under construction Academy Museum of Motion Pictures

     

    And, of course, amusement parks include:

     

    *Disneyland

    *Disney's California Adventure

    *Knott's Berry Farm

    *Knott's Soak City USA

    *Six Flags Magic Mountain

    *Six Flags Hurricane Harbor

    *Universal Studios Hollywood

    *Legoland (on the way to San Diego but close enough for this purpose)

    *Pacific Park (Santa Monica Pier)

    *Raging Waters

    *Wild Rivers (closed a few years ago, being relocated)

     

    Even with all this competition when the population of the metro area per the Census Bureau is over 13 million, not including visiting fans and people making a longer drive, getting 70,000 fans a game isn't a sign of a mistake.

     

    If I lived in L.A. and had easy access to the Hollywood Bowl, that's where I'd spend my entertainment dollars.  I don't think I've ever enjoyed a performance venue more. 😎🎶🎵😎

    I hate everything about the Chicago Bears look and I hate that they have a cool name but don't use any actual bears. 

     

    I love it when the Bears wear white jerseys over the dark pants.  It's a classic old school look with a great color distribution. ?

     

    It's sort of like the Yankees home uniforms. They're such a classic that they don't need any imagery or a lot of color.  They have one uniform that's so good you can overlook their other less appealing looks.  Every league needs a couple of teams like the Bears and Yankees.

  6. Oops, I forgot my #1 pet peeve regarding football uniforms:

     

    Teams wearing colors that aren’t in their traditional color schemes.  I hate switching the channel to a college game and not immediately knowing who is playing.

     

    P.S.  I am also one on those guys who walked miles in the snow to and from school (uphill both ways) back in the day.

  7. I find American Football uniforms to be the least asthetically pleasing of any major sport.  Perhaps I am becoming a grumpy old man, but I dislike most of the uniform trends in football:

     

    lack of stripes on pants and socks,

    names and letters replacing stripes,

    non-traditional striping patterns,

    monochrome uniforms (this would work better with traditional striping on the pants and socks,

    side panels and piping on jerseys, and 

    decreasing use of materials that provide a more glossy metallic look to jerseys and particularly pants.

     

    Football looks ugly to me these days.

    This isn't the best photo, but #40 is longtime NYG Ron Johnson, in his one partial season with the Dallas Cowboys. This comes from the Aug 7, 1976, preseason game which the Rams won, 26-14:

    There's no glaring mismatching of colors in this pic.  Even if the Rams dark helmet blends in.

    This road uni is far better than what the Cubs wear today, and probably the best (or maybe Top 3) the Cubs have worn all time. I think my only critique is it only needed one sleeve patch, and though the Cubs patch looks nice, the 80s/90s bear patch was probably a better choice and synced with the home jersey:

    That uniform looks better than I remembered.  Didn't they have a different patch on each sleeve.

    Navy makes more sense for the Patriots, plus I like it better anyway.

    I understand your point, but I'm not convinced that the Patriots have to match these colors.  The original blue and silver uniforms were nice and bright, and looked good.

     

    Navy is bettered paired with white and red with no silver IMO.  There's a great faux back concept out there somewhere that combines the style of the old red jerseys with UCLA stripes.  It replaces the red with navy and Pat Patriot is replaced by Elvis.  It's very clean and sharp.

     

    Navy needs help from the right use of supporting colors to make for a good uniform.  IMO, neither The Patriots nor The Chargers have found that right use with their current uniforms.

    I completely agree. I felt the same way about the Sonics, too.

     

    The darker green provides a better contrast to the brIght althletic gold.  Teams like the NYJets and the Philadelphia Eagles lack such a bright color and I believe look better with a lighter shade of green.
