- Cubs on WGN (Harry Carey & Steve Stone. Even Chip Carey was tolerable)
- White Sox also on WGN (Ken Hawk Harrison and Tom Patorick)
- Braves on TBS Superstation
- This Week in Baseball with Mel Allen
- The Astros as an American League team (Still can't get used to that even though they won a World Series as an AL team. Strangely, I'm now used to the Brewers as an NL team even though I still remember them as an American League team)
- Montreal Expos
- The Angels as either the CALIFORNIA Angels or ANAHEIM Angels.
- MLB logos on the outfield wall in some of the stations instead of ads.
- Late 90s-to-mid-2000s MLB: Yankees dynasty, Braves in the playoffs all the time, Bonds/Sosa/McGwire home run chase (feel dirty about that one because of the steroids)
- NBA on NBC (Marv Albert, Inside Stuff hosted by Ahmad Rashad, and the theme song by John Test)
- Bulls 90s dynasty (MJ, Scottie, Phil Jackson, etc); also the rivalries with the Pistons, Cavs, Pacers, Knicks, Magic, etc were worth watching. I also miss Johnny Red Kerr and Wayne Larrivee, plus Norm Van Leer)
- Monday Night Football on ABC (Frank Gifford, Al Michaels, Dan Diedorf as I wasn't alive when Howard Cosell and Don Meredith were around. Also Hank Williams Jr. "Are You Ready For Some Football")
- Pat Summerall and John Madden announcing NFL games on CBS and later Fox
- Super Bowl being played a week after the Conference Championship games instead of two weeks after (meaning that the game was played in late January instead of early Feburary)
- Solider Field before a spaceship landed on it. (I'm talking about the stadium's renovation after the 2001 season)
- NFC teams dominating the NFL (80s 49ers, 90s Cowboys, etc)
- Houston Oilers
- Chargers in San Diego; Radiers in either Oakland or Los Angeles
- Baseball/Football/Basketball cards
- MLB on Fox having its own unique theme instead of having the NFL on Fox theme
- College Football/Basketball before the birth of super-conferences (i.e. the Big Ten actually having 10 teams + Penn State)
- Seattle Supersonics
- Nets in New Jersey
- NBA teams wearing white (or gold in the Lakers' case) at home; road team in the dark colors. No association/statement mix and match jersey crap.
- Hartford Whalers & Quebec Noridiques
- Anaheim Ducks as the MIGHTY Ducks
- GOOD uniforms being worn at the Pro Bowl & NBA all-star game; also the Pro Bowl being played AFTER the Super Bowl
- Sports commissioners that are actually competent! (You know it's bad when Gary Bettman is now considered the BEST commissioner among the Big 4 Leagues) I miss Paul Tagliabue, the late David Stern, and even Bud Selig.
- ESPN doing sports and entertainment, talk, & news that's actually related to sports.
- No politics on ESPN, NBA, NFL, etc (I watched sports to get away from that stuff!)

What’s the story here? Braves jersey with a Giants cap? I’ve never seen the movie.
This film was about Robert De Niro playing a San Francisco Giants fan who becomes psychotically obsessed with the team's slugger (played by Welsey Snipes). I don't remember that particular scene as it has years since I last saw this movie. I needed to find a scene from that movie that fits this topic.

can't believe i forgot about this one: the Super Fans skits on Saturday Night Live
more Simpsons (circa 1999/2000) Can't remember the actual episode (probably "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday")
brief seen of nfl helmets on the Simpsons (rare clip of Simpsons/NFL on Fox promo in 1995).
More WWE clips:
From 2000, Edge and Christian in Oakland taunting the fans (and Raider players in attendance) with Edge taking off his Raiders jersey and revealing a Ravens t-shirt (In context, there was a playoff game between the two teams around this time and E&C were heels).
Kurt Angle in a Jaguars jersey and John Cena in a Lakers throwback jersey in a rap battle in 2003
In the 1990 film "Home Alone", there was a scene earlier in the film where Kevin uses a cutout of Michael Jordan (in his Bulls jersey) to fool the Wet Bandits into believing that there were people at home instead of just him being alone. Can't find the exact clip though.

Black Sunday (1977) - Super Bowl between Steelers and Cowboys

College football example: Rudy (1993), though this is a biographical-based film.
some of the kids in "The Sandlot" (1993) wore caps of various MLB teams (and in one case, a Negro League team, the Kansas City Monarchs.)

Found yet another one.
Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977). One of the kids wears a orange jacket that featured all the MLB logos. The film was also set in the Houston Astrodome, which at the time had team logos on their outfield wall.

2018 vs 2018-present Titans
2017 vs 2017-2019 Rams

As a result of the recent news, Washington won't be facing the new look Falcons, Rams, Patriots, Chargers, Browns (though their look is back to their traditional look) and Bucs (though their look is mostly a return to the 1997-2013 look) as the Redskins.
