    It's not the asymmetry that bothers me, it's how gigantic the stripe is to the point of extending to the front and back of the shorts. It made the entire uniform look out of alignment. I also think the wordmark was a bit cheap and minor-league-esque.

    The shorts were horrible on those. Ruined the whole look. I always preferred their next set:

    Check out this picture from the Fanbrandz website: http://fanbrandz.com/#/edmonton-oilers-uniforms-designs/ Apparently, in the process of designing their new Adizero uniforms, the Oilers considered some wilder striping options - including one with what looks like oil drops on both sides of the jerseys. Very cool!

    Still a better logo than the Vegas Knights'.

    I honestly don't think it's anywhere near as bad as people made it out to be. The problem is that there were better concepts that the team and/or designer(s) passed over that probably would have been better received. For instance, the roundels on the very bottom right:

    This seller is claiming that this is a 1995-96 prototype sweater for the Nordiques: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-96-NHL-Quebec-Nordiques-White-Prototype-Jersey-/401335176618?hash=item5d7170cdaa%3Ag%3A-7AAAOSwjqVZKKjy&nma=true&si=8reiD6ex8Cxb2FHj2XgAgknxfaY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    Remember the Oilers' old "oil drop" third jerseys? It looks like they were originally going to use a different striping pattern: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RYAN-SMYTH-EDMONTON-OILERS-OIL-DROP-CCM-ORIGINAL-REPLICA-JERSEY-LARGE-PROTOTYPE-/201944659637?hash=item2f04d6f6b5:g:MMEAAOSww9xZMatf

    According to Getty, those pictures were taken on October 21st, 2001 and October 15th, 2001 respectively: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/guard-brent-barry-of-the-seattle-supersonics-dunks-the-ball-news-photo/536663#oct-2001-guard-brent-barry-of-the-seattle-supersonics-dunks-the-ball-picture-id536663 http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/isaac-austin-of-the-memphis-grizzlies-moves-with-the-ball-news-photo/527807#oct-2001-isaac-austin-of-the-memphis-grizzlies-moves-with-the-ball-picture-id527807 The 2001-02 season didn't begin until October 30th: http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2002_games.html So these would have been from preseason games.

    At some point, they ditched the awkward side panels on the jersey from that last road uniform you posted: I still think that's the best that the Bulls have ever looked on the road. As for the script "Chicago," it looks like that had its own share of inconsistencies. Weirdly, the version that the NBA uses for its "Hardwood Classics" line doesn't seem to match any script that the Bulls ever actually wore: In a vacuum, it's a pretty nice brush script, but it's like they didn't even try for historical accuracy. (On a side note, I remember seeing a "Bulls" version of this script in an Adidas catalog a few years ago - I'll see if I can find a picture of it.)

    Too bad the Chihuahuas aren't a Diamondbacks affiliate. If they were, they could have brought these back too:

    Another day, another prototype. From the looks of things, the yoke on the road sweaters from the Coyotes' last set was added late in the process. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PHOENIX-COYOTES-PROTOTYPE-AUTHENTIC-AWAY-REEBOK-JERSEY-SIZE-56-DAMAGED-/112330635769?hash=item1a276d79f9:g:oroAAOSwWxNYwtKP

    Yet another Edge prototype has emerged on eBay - this time, a Red Wings proto sans hem stripe: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DETROIT-RED-WINGS-PROTOTYPE-AUTHENTIC-HOME-REEBOK-JERSEY-SIZE-56-DAMAGED-/302245519047?hash=item465f3c9ec7:g:NDUAAOSwTM5Yv27x

    It's possible that the equipment manager just used the numbers that were supposed to go on the road blue jerseys by accident for this photoshoot.

    A Knicks Rev30 prototype has also popped up on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adidas-Authentic-New-York-Knicks-NBA-Jersey-Size-XL-2-Sample-Pro-Cut-Team-Game-/262844402743?hash=item3d32bf4c37:g:v1gAAOSw~AVYm~0y

    A few more Reebok Edge prototypes have shown up on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TORONTO-MAPLE-LEAFS-PROTOTYPE-AUTHENTIC-HOME-REEBOK-JERSEY-SIZE-56-DAMAGED-/292043551594?hash=item43ff26f36a:g:dJgAAOSwax5YuKfT (I posted the white version of this sweater back in September 2015.) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-YORK-ISLANDERS-PROTOTYPE-AUTHENTIC-HOME-REEBOK-JERSEY-SIZE-56-DAMAGED-/112321883815?hash=item1a26e7eea7:g:AlkAAOSwax5YuKu3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/OTTAWA-SENATORS-PROTOTYPE-AUTHENTIC-AWAY-REEBOK-JERSEY-SIZE-56-DAMAGED-/292043574462?hash=item43ff274cbe:g:fk4AAOSwuxFYuLAE http://www.ebay.com/itm/DALLAS-STARS-PROTOTYPE-AUTHENTIC-HOME-REEBOK-JERSEY-SIZE-56-DAMAGED-/112321992224?hash=item1a26e99620:g:6bgAAOSwB-1YuMYZ

    I'm pretty sure people have started posting that Pelicans/Bobcats matchup every other page now. We get it.

    That's the popular opinion on this board. Personally, though, I've always hated that look. It's just boring. The Chargers should never wear navy or any shade of blue other than powder. The only reason why they ever wore navy to begin with is because it's the Spanos family's favorite color - which should be reason enough to consign it to the dustbin of history. Now, had the Chargers gone with something like the powder-blue mockup shown on the right in this picture, that era would have been a little more tolerable even in spite of navy: The road look would have still been bland without any powder blue, but it still would have been an improvement overall.

    In a league full of boring wannabe-European roundels, crests and names, the Revs' identity looks a lot better by comparison than it otherwise would.

    I still think that's the Vikings' best look - when it was worn properly, of course. The monochrome combos they couldn't stop wearing messed up the pants design, which was supposed to flow into the jersey striping. But when worn purple-over-white and white-over-purple, it was sheer perfection. I really liked the horn-insipired contours of the shoulder stripes.

    Remember that Padres prototype that everyone went crazy for? Here are two of the caps that were considered to be worn with it: http://www.gaslampball.com/2016/12/1/13804612/tfhs-closer-look-prototype-padres-brown-orange-1985-rare-asg-jersey-hat-yellow And here's an interesting article from today about the design process: http://www.gaslampball.com/2016/12/16/13933378/padres-prototype-jersey

    Another Sixers prototype, presumably from the mid-late 2000s: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adidas-NBA-sample-authentic-Philadelphia-76er-jersey-blank-pro-cut-Size-XL-/232159239398?hash=item360dc4dce6 This is not the same as the Sixers prototype I posted in September 2014 - the piping/panels are slightly different and the collar design is what the Hawks ended up using when they changed their uniforms in 2007.

    This set was greatly improved when the stripes were tweaked in the '90s. It even looked nice in monochrome!

    Brandiose has officially jumped the shark. I used to really enjoy their work, but it's clear they're just churning :censored: out on autopilot now.
  25. Lights Out
    They made a big show of changing the team's name and then forgot to put it on any of the uniforms. What gives?
