    Wouldn't be practical every week, but maybe Super Bowl only? Onto the Broncos survey, I gotta wonder what the point of including the gold/brown was, I'm fairly certain nobody wants to go away from orange/blue. I'd be interested in something like the mid 60s jerseys, but then I'm not who they're aiming at.

    Last in this series, then I'll be starting the WHA party...thought about avoiding it, but figured I'd do another one that's red but different...in this case, the simplified version of the now-old Edge design. As far as the gold C and numbers, I saw an example jersey that had the numbers exactly like that - gold outlined in red and black on red - once and liked how it looked. Opponent tonight is Nashville, with a gold version of that alternate jersey they had back when they were still wearing silver, using the Winter Classic sabretooth as the crest. Thanks for viewing, and please tip the zamboni driver. Keep an eye out in the next few days for the start of the WHA series.

    Not gonna lie, Oahe Zap sounds like a regional Gatorade knockoff.

    Easily...hit backspace on Tampa Bay, type in Memphis

    I was under the weather this weekend, so I got delayed a bit. Figured the 2000s uniforms will be pre-Edge...so a gold version of their pre-Edge jersey for Calgary, and the Stars get an all-black version of the star jersey with two-tone green trim. Normally I wouldn't have used any proposed logos, but I figured the Calgary boot (one of many logos the Flames rejected for their alternate jersey several years ago) might be a good fit.

    In a breather from the Kyrie melodrama, the Bucks remain the last undefeated team, are 8-0 for the first time in team history, triple double for Giannis, and this Beauchamp kid looks pretty solid Not enamored with the late start, not gonna lie, it's Minnesota, not LA.

    Late night 90s night special, as the gradient treatment took me a while...and I kinda overslept. Anyways, here we go. A sans-black version of the podium jersey with an equally black-free Blasty on the front, and I figured I'd go more gold-heavy to further differentiate this from the original...figured I'd put a bit of a twist on the Angry King jersey, with a modified gradient based on the LA flag's zigzag. Since I have a Clarendon variant installed, I used that. I'd initially considered using the coat of arms and the 2000s crown instead, but figured what the hell. Not sure what I'll do for the 2000s yet...I just know what I know

    Can't blame him though... he's the best! Around! Nothing's ever gonna keep him down!

    Kyrie tends to strike me as an enigma...one of those folks who's smart...just not nearly as smart or deep as he thinks he is. Not helped by the headscratching stuff he believes and tends to say. Going somewhere beyond Carl "Dinosaurs weren't real" Everett level.

    80s night...I didn't want to do a second straight black jersey, and I didn't want to do a gold jersey since I've done it before...so the only real option was red, but somewhat different. Went with the Calgary script from that short-lived alt from a few years back, changing the C to the burning C in the process. Needed a half-decent anniversary logo to carry me the rest of the way, so a big 50 that incorporates both Atlanta's and Calgary's flames came to mind. The opposing Canucks sport their late 80s design, and in an homage to the skate logo, Johnny's skating the other way and has blue and green motion lines, 90s night is Podium night probably against the Kings.

    Well...the Bills are really, really good...if they don't make it to the Super Bowl, I'll be shocked. If the Packers manage a winning record, I'll be shocked...but they showed some flashes in the second half. Still about time to stick a fork in em, though. Edit: GG Bills

    A lesson in this: the helmet rule is kinda dumb, but as long as they throw flags over it, keep that bucket on. Game losing penalty indeed.

    Guess there's still a little bit of Jest in em...gotta get it out of their system.

    Yeah...we got Jets games on Milwaukee's CBS station during Favre's year with them. Somewhat tough to tell if non-Pack games get chosen by our Fox and CBS affiliates due to local boy factors, but IIRC we did get more than average amount of Texans games when JJ Watt was there. On an unrelated note...Dak looked very good today, Bears shot themselves in the foot, and holy crap what a throw by PJ Walker Preliminary Facepalm Moment of the Week: Justin Fields jumping over Micah Parsons after the fumble that basically ended the game... granted, the Cowboys were carving up the Bears defense to the extent they might as well have stayed in Chicago, but yeah, Fields, this ain't college, he can (and did) get up and make a run for it.

    Older Anniversary Sets: Kings - Blues - Penguins - North Stars/Seals/Barons - Sabres - Canucks - Islanders I begin the Flames Anniversary Series with an Atlanta sweater...but in black. Oh, wow, how original, I know /s. Fair warning, the Coyotes wont be Canucks ubiquitous in the WHA series, it'll just feel a bit like it...anyway, since I'd used the Roadrunners' 1st WHA design in one of the older series, tonight the Yotes get the Blues ripoffs from years 2 and 3. And since the Flames' only acknowledgment was an Atlanta crest warmup jersey they wore last season, I threw something together to at least have a patch, which I placed on the left shoulder; the Coyotes are also serving as a quasi-preview of the WHA extravaganza, so they get a WHA 50th patch (found it on Facebook) and the old Roadrunner on the right shoulder and the pants. Next up...80s Night, probably vs. the Canucks (it's not a Western Conference anniversary series without em). Be crazy for me, make me shine on you

    Apparently the Giants plan to wear blue in Dallas for Thanksgiving. The Cowboys will be wearing their throwbacks, which are also blue. Methinks this should be rethought if it hasn't been already.

    Kinda thought about the Colt 45s and Mets, both coming in in 62 with a shade of blue + orange. Not quite the same, but the '69 expansion saw the AL add a blue/white team and a Seattle-based blue/gold team; the '77 expansion saw the AL add a blue/white team and a Seattle-based blue/gold team.

    2010s Night...base design is the Brooklyn alternate, but in the pre-Edge colors and crest. Figured the stripes would alternate like the old shoulder patch stripes, and I'd initially had orange numbers, but that looked way too similar to the Oilers' alt for my liking. Also wound up fitting into the alternating colors theme, as evidenced by my choice of orange names on the back to tie into it. If you guessed the Rangers would be the opponent, you get 53 internet points and 1/3 of a Twitter like basically an inversion of their most recent Winter Classic uniform with the crest being a larger version of the simplified Ranger shield they'd worn on the left chest. And that wraps up the Islanders Anniversary series, but fret not...as I said earlier, I'll be starting a Flames series in a day or two, which will likely see an ECHL cameo. I also have a WHA Anniversary miniseries in the planning stages, though that feels like it'll be even more of a nine-car pileup than the North Stars series was

    So for the heck of it I recently googled Houston Baptist, and turns out they changed their name to Houston Christian University last month. Odd time for a name change. For now, I guess they're using their existing husky logo but without the text.

    A pity there's not a good alternative. South Carolina has to share "Carolina" with UNC, and "USC" with the Trojans. Compare this to the three notable UWs. Wyoming is Wyo for short, Washington is often called U-Dub. As a shorthand, we stick with Wiscy or UW for Wisconsin, or Madison if we're feeling academic, never U-Dub.

    The 2000s were when Oregon started being Nike U, but IIRC it was only relatively late in the decade that anybody really started emulating them, at the start of the decade the cool kids imitated Miami.

    Bone would have worked for somebody like the Bucs...it was just a horrible choice for the Rams. Gold Sol would have made for a more fitting choice. Sigh...I'd like to shout that the Zubaz were an aberration...and they were, mind you...but then there was whatever Russell was smoking in the AFL's last couple years. A shame because there were a lot of Arena uniforms that rivaled NFL uniforms in tastefulness.

    Went with the orange alt's design, but in white and with the 80s version of the crest. Figured the Flyers should finally appear in one of these things, so we have a battle of crappy pre-Edge alternate designs tonight. I kinda feel bad about this, I left them out of the big Expansion Six project (granted, for good reasons), and when I finally use them as an opponent, I go with the worst jersey design they've ever worn. Only upside is these two combined didn't take as insanely long to trace as the fisherman waves. The last of this series will probably be a blue version of the Brooklyn jersey. Already got the perfect opponent in mind. Starting on the Flames series after that.
