I don't think this is a very unpopular opinion at all, at least on these boards. I've honestly not heard much in the way of either supporting or being against this or the new look. I just figured the majority of people were against it. But I LOVE it! There was a thread here a few months ago about the Diamondbacks wearing the throwbacks to the World Series year, and many people were voicing their support of the 90s color scheme. Personally, I despise most 90s color schemes (teal and purple used to excess) and I vastly prefer the new D-Backs look but I actually think I'm in minority.

I don't think this is a very unpopular opinion at all, at least on these boards.

That's not fake, that's a swingman, and is 100% NBA authentic. But still, they used Comic Sans in the description. I wouldn't support anyone who uses Comic Sans

Seriously. A comparison for those who don't know: It's not even close. Also, I just found another Nathan Horton knockoff, from "Sellcheapnfl".

A friend of mine bought several knockoffs from an online store (can't remember which). They're horrible. The font, numbers, laces and even the logo just don't look right. Also note the Stanley Cup Champions patch on the white one.

ahh Ray Allen. man, He Got Game He looks best here: On the topic of the Sonics' uniforms, I actually think they were among the best in the NBA before the relocation, and certainly better than the Kemp/Payton era ones.

I didn't realize that was an unpopular opinion. I'd have to agree with it, the Flyers look great. I've heard a lot of people complain about the contrasting nameplates and the white captaincy patches on the white sweaters, so I assumed (incorrectly, Perhaps) that people didn't like them. Agree on both. *Insert anti-Family Guy troll bait here*

I adore the Flyers uniforms. The captaincy patches, the sleeve numbers, the discolored nameplates, the everything.

Really!?!? I didn't realize that if I wanted something to purchase, all I had to do was, you know, purchase it! I didn't realize we lived in a Capitalist system which allows for the free trade of goods for money! Really, this is news to me. 'If you want to buy something,then buy it.' Ingenious. Thanks for this advice, spammer! Does this even apply to stuff I can't even afford? Well, I want a yacht, a private jet and a Bugatti, so I guess I can just buy them! God bless America. *goes out to buy yacht, private jet and a Bugatti*

To me the, new Iowa State uniforms look like USC knockoffs (yes, I know the shoulder striping is different on the USC uniforms and the Iowa State uniforms).

Yeah. The Simpsons are better than Family Guy. I thought everyone knew this.

Fairly obvious, but boldface is stuff I agree with, and strikethrough is stuff I didn't.

I loved the Blue Jays look with black, blue, and gray. Uniqueness no longer gets you anything apparently. Stellar contribution with the picture. Really added to this thread. Some of us, myself included, appreciate when a team does something unique and not a carbon copy of the past or of other teams. First off, what Goth said. A unique set that looks terrible isn't suddenly good just because it's unique. Secondly the Jays didn't "carbon copy" the past. They took the classic look and updated it. As for the graphite cap? Sorry loooooogodude. Unique or not, it doesn't fit in with the current set. Different colours and logos. That's the way I look at most unique things too. Just because Team A adopts a purple and orange color scheme that no one else in the league has, doesn't make it good. It's unique, sure, but unique =/= good.

Things are looking good then in QC, all they need to do now is secure a team!! We shouldn't have to wait much longer.

God is dead.

Is it bad if I want Bettman to die a horrible, horrible death? At least career-wise, so someone competent can take over the league?

wat Yeah, and I'm an incredibly successful astronaut/gigolo to the stars/congressman/secret agent.

You never posted pics! (Unless they're in a different thread.)

Question that may have already been answered, but have the Coyotes ever sold out a game, regular season or post, since relocating from Winnipeg?

That is legitimately depressing. I'm going to go sit and stare at a wall for a little while.

The Montreal Alouettes' 2011 Grey Cup Championship Ring, I presume? IMO it looks closer to the new one than the old one.

I take it you haven't been to the Nassau Coliseum. Fun fact: my high school had a field trip the night this thing was unveiled in 1998 so I was there. We got to meet Gino Odjick before the game. I just looked for my autographed ticket stub but it is lost. How sad for me. Wow that is horrendous. I'm pretty sure the Cumberland County Civic Center has a better one. They didn't even update the Pepsi logo (unless this pic is pre-logo redesign).

Those jerseys are so disgustingly perfectly 90s. I want a Boston College one (and that's odd for me, I hate the vast majority of uniforms introduced in the 90s, especially one-off ones such as these).

Selig is no Bettman. He didn't kill off the Montreal fanbase, Montreal did. Bud would make the move you describe if it made any financial sense. Fund a stadium, and the Rays will start learning French. Until then, they'll remain the closest thing baseball has to the Coyotes. Oh please, the moment that the MLB took over for Loria, the franchise stopped being the Montreal Expos and started being The Future Washington Baseball Club. The team didn't play their stars (Guerrero, Vasquez), blacked out games, didn't spend $50,000 to call up minor leaguers during the expanded roster period in 2003 (the final nail in the coffin). Selig had ample opportunity to try to sow the market in Montreal. Instead, he closed up shop and began making arrangements for Washington. I doubt we'll see a lot of money coming from Quebec. They've been very stingy with funding for an NHL arena (which is probably why the Coyotes aren't already in Quebec City), and it'll be several years before the province will even think about funding Parc Labatt. Through it all, I honestly think that if you give Montreal a really good team (the Rays) and a sexy stadium, the fans will come.

Last season, the Coyotes had a Thursday home game against the Kings in October and drew something like 6,400. Movin' on up! One of the biggest sport leagues in the world and one of it's teams is drawing less than 8,000.... Even some CJHL teams get more than 6,400. Ten years ago, we were watching to see when the Vermont Expos would draw more than the Montreal parent club. Now, I guess we'll wait to see if the Portland Pirates can outdraw the Coyotes on any given night. I can testify that the Cumberland County Civic Center (where the Pirates play) has 6,733 seats, and most are filled every game night, with sellout crowds on the weekends. So yeah, it wouldn't surprise me that the Pirates are outdrawing the Coyotes. While Portland isn't the prime hockey area in Maine (Orono, where the University of Maine Black Bears play is where it's at for hardcore puck fans), the Pirates (and the other minor league teams in the city) have a considerable following throughout the state. Onto what everyone else has been talking about since I was gone... I'd love to see the Expos back (build Parc Labatt, move the Rays to Montreal and you don't even have to realign the divisions!), but I doubt it. Selig would be unwilling to admit that he made a mistake by placing a team in the Tampa Bay area and then murdering the burgeoning baseball fanbase in Montreal. I don't think that we'll be seeing a return of the Whalers any time soon, especially with Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs heading up the NHL board of governors. He wouldn't like a team "intruding", so to speak, in New England. Of all the NHL teams under threat of relocation, I'd hate to see the Stars (espec. because they have their name on the cup), Blue Jackets, or Predators move. I feel they could really carve out their own piece of the market in their respective towns and become viable.
