  1. Here’s the link: https://kslsports.com/513636/utah-jazz-mailbag-is-a-rebrand-coming/ Still better than what they are wearing. If I had my way, I’d add a little Light Blue and maybe Copper and call it a day, at least with the based-off-the-modern-mountain look they’re talking here. I’m also intrigued with a New Orleans Hornets-esque Purple/Light Blue/Gold look as well if going all the way back to the drawing board.
  2. Good: Unis will primarily be Honolulu Blue Could go either way: Multiple pants options Makes me nervous: Players who’ve seen the uniforms give them rave reviews Sounds like there’s no black alternate, so at least that’s a relief.
  3. Paraphrasing: "The Ravens organization feel that it has maintained a classic look with the main home/road uniforms and don't plan on tinkering with them." That might be the best news I've heard regarding NFL uniforms in a long time. Baltimore has their flaws, but I'd much, much rather keep everything--sad bird head with shoehorned B included, IMO the weakest part of the Ravens identity--the same, warts and all, over any drastic changes to the whole set. That statement also implies that nothing huge is happening to the alternates either, which should be good news overall.
  4. And now we wait for a QB on the Bills, Browns, or Eagles to wear 0.
  5. A lot can be said about Peter Karmanos, but at least he cared about the consistency of his team’s appearance.
  6. I know it’ll never happen (due to 20+ years of brand equity), but the more I think of it, the more I like the Texans and Titans effectively swapping their color schemes (provided the Titans go primarily Red and the Texans go primarily Luv Ya Blue). The Titans would largely match the Tennessee state flag while the Columbia Blue returns to the original home of the Oilers. If I have some time and resources, I might have to try a concept exploring this idea. That said, it still baffles me that the Titans, who are the primary reason why the Texans can only use so much Columbia Blue, would rather wear Navy like so many other teams—including the Texans.
  7. What I feel is the best possible realignment option for a 32-team MLB, probably the better half of 10 years out, preserving the AL/NL setup, assuming the next 2 expansion teams are Nashville and Salt Lake City (in italics). AL East Baltimore Boston Cleveland Chicago White Sox Detroit NY Yankees Tampa Bay Toronto AL West Houston Kansas City LA Angels Oak/LV Minnesota Seattle Texas Utah* NL East Atlanta Cincinnati Miami Nashville* NY Mets Philadelphia Pittsburgh Washington NL West Arizona Colorado Chicago Cubs LA Dodgers Milwaukee St. Louis San Diego San Francisco I at least find 4 divisions of 8 to work better for leagues that play so many games as opposed to 8 divisions of 4 (which is basically every Big 4 league except the NFL). The goal here was to preserve as many rivalries as possible while minimizing the number of time zones in each division, which gets tougher the further west you go. Part of me wanted to see if I could put the Astros back into the NL West, but ultimately decided against it due to the success they've had as an AL team, though you could effectively swap them with Milwaukee. *You can easily interchange Nashville with a Carolina team (whether Charlotte or Raleigh) and Utah with Las Vegas, Oakland, or Portland (and that IMO includes the outside chance that the A's themselves wind up in Salt Lake City permanently), but I'm going with what appears to be the likeliest outcome at the time of typing.
  8. One good way to judge a logo (or uniform/overall identity)--at least in my book--is how well you can theoretically extrapolate it back to a given time and design a logo that feels like a faithful update it; in other words, you create a logo that feels like it's been around for much longer than it actually has. This new Lexington Legends logo feels like it's been--in one form or another--around since the 1960s or 1970s, and the work shows in it.
  9. Ah, NFL QB Club ‘98, the game where Marv Albert was the in-game commentator despite his legal issues at the time and any free agent you signed would eventually become M. Clark #84.
  10. I agree. Even for those throughout North America, moving the Super Bowl to Saturday could also give people more time to celebrate and/or recover over the remainder of the weekend before going back to regular life. It’s at least something worth looking into.
  11. This Jazz fan hearing the name Alec Burks: Funny how he and Bojan Bogdanovic remain teammates in going to New York. I’m glad they’re both not rotting away the rest of the season in Detroit.
  12. With the recent chatter in the news about putting the A’s on hiatus until their Las Vegas stadium is done, and some comments on here about a temporary team to fill in the gap, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if MLB pushed Fisher to sell the A’s to Big League Utah while granting him an all-new expansion team in Vegas. Obviously SLC would need to figure out funding for the MLB stadium, but they almost seem to have a better plan there than Vegas at the moment. Salt Lake gets their team and Vegas gets time to figure out their stadium/funding, getting a new team of their own. No one goes on hiatus (unless Fisher wants the A’s brand/records and wants to do some form of Browns/Ravens situation).
  13. With them likely losing, please tell me that Detroit’s new duds aren’t going to stink to high heaven.
  14. If there’s any consolation in the Lions blowing the lead and losing this game, maybe it’s that they’ll come to their aesthetic senses in the years to come (it might be more than 5 years, though).
  15. Conference Championship Sunday NFC CHAMPIONSHIP Detroit at San Francisco AFC CHAMPIONSHIP Kansas City at Baltimore
  16. It ain’t the Super Bowl, but the words “Wide Right” continue to haunt Buffalo. Maybe the Lions can finally break through and upset the 49ers. *Crosses fingers for Lions/Ravens Super Bowl*
  17. Loved the Ravens’ black pants even more in 1997 and 1998: I would’ve loved to see Baltimore wear the black pants with their purple jerseys at least once then, or would put stripes on their pants now.
  18. It was the big story around town yesterday. Currently, the AAA Bees plan to leave Smith’s Ballpark after the 2024 PCL season for the new stadium in Daybreak (on the southwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley) in 2025, but that still-under-construction ballpark is what the A’s are eyeing. Aside from a smaller capacity, the new ballpark as planned will have the facilities a Major League team needs, with separated bullpens and batting cages for both home and visiting teams. There’s not much of a geographic footprint to expand on at Smith’s Ballpark without tearing down nearby homes, either. The seating capacity at the new park would be temporarily expanded from its planned 7,500 to about 11,000 for the A’s while the Bees remain at Smith’s Ballpark for the duration of their layover in Salt Lake. https://kslsports.com/510099/does-having-two-stadiums-give-salt-lake-city-edge-to-temporarily-land-as/ Of course, I can see a (not very likely) situation where funding for the Vegas stadium is delayed or falls through and Fisher is forced to sell the A’s to the Big League Utah group (while being granted a Las Vegas franchise), who in turn would build their planned Power District stadium west of downtown Salt Lake.
  19. Divisional Round Saturday Houston at Baltimore Green Bay at San Francisco Sunday Tampa Bay at Detroit Kansas City at Buffalo
  20. This Utah State alum is happy for Jordan Love. That said, I’m bummed that we won’t be getting a Browns/Cowboys Blunder Bowl, at least this year.
  21. Wild Card Round Saturday Cleveland at Houston Miami at Kansas City Sunday Green Bay at Dallas LA Rams at Detroit Monday Pittsburgh at Buffalo Philadelphia at Tampa Bay
  22. I wonder if conditions at the Meadowlands or Cincinnati would be better enough to host the Bills game if it has to be moved.
  23. Week 18 Saturday Pittsburgh at Baltimore Houston at Indianapolis Sunday Tampa Bay at Carolina Atlanta at New Orleans Jacksonville at Tennessee NY Jets at New England Cleveland at Cincinnati Minnesota at Detroit Philadelphia at NY Giants Dallas at Washington Seattle at Arizona LA Rams at San Francisco Chicago at Green Bay Kansas City "at" LA Chargers Denver at Las Vegas Buffalo at Miami
