  1. Pacers best look was their previous pinstripe set

    Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. YES.

    How does this constitute an unpopular opinion? Who doesn't like the Pacers pinstripe uniforms?

    When they wore the throwbacks this year, many people argued in the NBA Changes thread that their current was far superior

  2. 4. Not uni related but I think all those retro parks are unaesthetic (The only one I like is PNC) and actually like cookie cutters

    In my opinion this (Olympic Stadium), is better than this (Nationals Park).- This is the main reason why I replied to your post. I'm glad that somebody else feels this way. There is nothing I love more than old time ballparks and their quirks. If people don't "get" the green monster in Boston, a moment spent on google earth will make them quickly realize why it's there. The Polo Grounds with its >280 foul poles and 483 center field fence was as unique as you can get. Now it seems like every new stadium built has some sort of manufactured Disney-esque "quirks" to try to make it look/feel like some sort of old ballpark. It was fun when the Orioles and a couple other teams started doing it, but now that every team has a "retro ballpark," the luster is gone. I'm definitely a KC Royals homer, but I've been to 25 of the 30 MLB parks, and I still rate Kauffman in my top five. Built in 1973, It has stood the test of time and continues to be one of the best venues in MLB. It's currently the 6th oldest stadium in baseball, and completely symmetrical due to being built in the 70's, but I'd put it up against any "retro" ballpark built since.

    Finally someone else who is tired of the retro look!!

    In my honest opinon, If the roof at Stade Olympique would have worked I think it would have been in the top 5. Within a span of 5-7 years a team goes from playing a futuristic stadium to a retro copycat that is really not that aesthetically pleasing...

    At least we still have Kauffman, Dodger Stadium, The Coliseum, Tropicana and Rogers Centre

  3. 1. I like Pinstripes on road uniforms and wish the Twins and Rockies would bring them back

  4. vlad-guerrero-blue-jays.jpg

    Vladimir Guerrero

    Signed with the Long Island Ducks and hasn't appeared yet for the team. I think he's dealing woth some sort of "personal matters" if I remember the article I read correctly.

    I have tickets to see them on Saturday, which I bought specifically because Vlad is one of my favorite players of all time. They also have Dontrelle Willis and Bill Hall, so it's not a total waste.

    Back in his Expos days I used to countdown the days until they came to L.A. or the Dodgers went to Montreal. I loved watching him play back then. ..he will always be an Expo to me. hope you get to see him in person again. Definite HOFer in my book.
