  1. Interesting article. I had no recollection of UGA ever wearing red-over-black, but I can see why they never tried it again. It just looks off.
  2. Those Kansas uniforms are high-schoolish at best. A clear downgrade from what they had before, which was already nothing special.
  3. This feels like cherrypicking. Reebok did a better job with the QB cuts, I guess, but for many players, their jerseys didn't look any better than Nike's. Maybe the shade of green looked a little nicer, but they had the exact same problems with the stripes:
  4. I would have liked to see the Sacramento script on one of those jerseys, but overall not too bad.
  5. The White Sox and Marlins nailed it, in my opinion. If the White Sox ever want to update their uniforms, they should base them off the City Connects. Seattle and Colorado were also thisclose to getting it right but flubbed the color schemes.
  6. Doesn't the MLB have a PR department? Shouldn't they be reminding Manfred to stop talking because he's a jackass?
  7. I wonder how much of this is just Fanatics cheaping out.
  8. CP3 is 38 years old, can barely move out there anymore, and is still overpaid. At least the Wizards can talk themselves into Poole regaining his form now that he's away from the toxic environment where everybody blamed him for getting punched.
  9. I like the idea of a Honolulu Blue helmet. I don't like that they just randomly stuck a throwback logo on there. Feels like something a MAC school would do, not an NFL franchise.
  10. So pretty much Louisville with Maryland's helmets.
  11. I never noticed until now that both the A and the s look different in the roundel logo than they do on the cap logo.
  12. This is one of the most pointless redesigns in recent memory. The new, less-sickly shade of orange is a welcome improvement. But beyond that, it feels like they randomly changed a couple things just to say they changed things. It's a shame, since their uniforms are far from perfect and there was real potential for substantive changes to make them look better (starting with getting rid of those stupid-looking nameplates). What bothers me the most is the single-layer TV numbers. They make the whole uniform look like a cheap screenprint job they ordered from a catalog.
  13. I'm surprised those cheapskates were willing to spring for an actual billboard. I would have expected one of those spraypainted vinyl banners you see on bridges over the highway.
  14. I doubt they're going to throw back to an unused prototype, but I do like that idea and wish teams would actually do that sometimes.
  15. The reverse boycott drew about the same as the max capacity at the new ballpark in Vegas that Manfred is so excited about. That quote was straight out of the Mark Fabiani playbook, except it's even more unbecoming when it's the commissioner of the entire sport saying it.
  16. Wow. This guy doesn't just hate baseball, he resents the paying customers too.
  17. I don't think the design is bad, especially compared to the real Edge disasters, although I do think it would have worked better for a team like Nashville instead of the Caps. Certainly it's not an eyesore like this.
  18. No, and it's not even close when the 2007 Ducks, 2009 Penguins and 2016 Penguins exist. Vegas' gold jerseys actually look good.
  19. It was called JerseyDatabase.com and it's been offline for years.
  20. I can see the logic. The old uniforms had accumulated so many bad memories over the years, they were pretty much constant reminders of Wide Right and Music City Miracle. It's like the Falcons finally making a change a few years after 28-3, or the Lions rebranding after 0-16. The execution was just off because it was 2002 and everything needed to have side panels. It doesn't help matters that they immediately started wearing monochrome every game when the uniforms weren't designed to be worn that way.
  21. I don't necessarily love the Kelly-era uniforms either, I just think the red helmets were better than white. Getting rid of the blue pants in the '80s was a mistake since those at least separated them more from the Giants.
  22. The font on the Pirates' City Connect feels more appropriate for soccer than baseball.
