  1. That's the Richmond Coliseum. I watched many a game there back in the day.
  2. The character in the Raiders logo is based upon Randolph Scott, the western movie star of the mid 20th century.
  3. That uniform is definitely superior to their current look. It's much brighter.
  4. I think the Texans should wear red jerseys at home full time to add some needed "pop" to their look.
  5. Yep, watching playoff baseball on a fall afternoon is awesome.
  6. How about black pants with gold stripes?
  7. I don't hate this look for The Jaguars. I think it works well with the helmet.
  8. Gregg was their head coach in the mid '70s.
  9. Actually, traditional Navy blue looks like black with a blue tint.
  10. I don't think that is an unpopular opinion, but I have wondered if that Chargers uniform would have looked just a little better if the bolts were all predominantly yellow.
  11. World Football League, Southern California Sun?
  12. Wow, the Jets colors and stripes match nicely in this pic.
  13. Miami Dolphins:. As a young boy, I played for a rec league team named the Dolphins. I was just learning the game of football and I just started following the Miami Dolphins who were becoming pretty darn good In the early 70's. I have been a loyal fan ever since. New York Mets:. I always loved their colors and my then hometown hosted a Single A Mets team for a number of years. The Lynchburg Mets with players like Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Wally Backman, and Lenny Dykstra were labeled "America's Best" as they had the hghest winning percentage in professional baseball in the early 80's. Kansas Jayhawks Basketball: KU gave me full tuition while earning one of my degrees there and I love college basketball. FC Barcelona:. I love the colors and the history D.C. United: the one regional pro team I adopted as it presented no conflicts with other loyalties Liverpool FC: influenced by my love of The Beatles All Boston teams except New England: My Dad is a Massachusettes native and a Boston sports fan who permanently relocated to Virginia in the late 50's (pre-Pats). Interesting Note: Now living 90 miles from D.C., I gave brief consideration to following the Washington Nationals as a second team, but my life-long affection to The Mets just made that impossible. As someone who has never permanently resided in a major league area, my loyalty typically lies with a franchise and not to the home city (no offense intended to those cities). Despite my love of NYC (the greatest city on Earth), I am a Mets fan, not a New Yorker.
  14. The only positive about the current uniforms.
  15. Nah, maroon and white looked grat for the Phils. They should have used the new park as a reason to go from bright red back to maroon. I'd like to see Pittsburgh wear yellow pants with black jerseys but other than that I don't think I want to see pants in anything but white or grey.I loved the Philliies in maroon. It was unique. IMO, the Pittsburgh Pirates are a team that can get away with wearing just about anything, probably because they essential have throughout their history.
  16. I could care less how a team chooses to label their locality, but then again, I've never lived in a major league market. I don't think the use of a regional name is any real threat to other teams in the same state. Some combinations of localities and team names do sound better to the ears than others. I remember when the Warriors rebranded to Golden State. I've always liked the uniqueness and the sound of it personally. Now that they've won a title as Golden State, I don't see why they'd ever change it.
  17. I don't mind the curly w at all, but the nationals have such a nice script it is a shame they don't even use it on an alt jersey. This looks too awesome to be relegated to T-Shirts and Jackets: That does look good. That's the same script used on their current away jerseys right?What cap did they wear with those?
  18. I like the Washington Nats' current uniforms. I thought the original wordmark the Nats used at home was horrible. Many are critical that the current "W" resembles the Walgreens logo, but I see it as a nice tribute to the Washington Senators 2.0 of my childhood.
  19. Change the number colors and I too think they are fine. I couldn't agree more.
  20. I think you are spot on there. Get rid of the black and charcoal.
  21. That's how I feel when I manage to see the Mets and they are not wearing pinstripes or their greys.
