Oh, that's a good'n. How about Mark Rypien...Philadelphia Eagle? That looks like a practice jersey compared to the one now.

As far as hockey support, the Portland Winterhawks have a very supportive fan base. And hockey culture seems to be strong here historically. Last winter the local historical society held an exhibit on 100 years of hockey history in Portland. There are still fond memories of the old Portland Buckaroos. None of that, though, translates directly into support. But in a good venue, and in a city that is known (at least with the Timbers and Blazers) to have among the more devout fan bases, I think it would be as safe a bet as Seattle. Plus, the team may suck inititially, but it's not like the ownership and administration would move with it. If Paul Allen ends up owning the team, my guess is he would appoint Blazers' President Chris McGowan to a new leadership position overseeing both clubs. McGowan held a similar role in Los Angeles with AEG Sports in which he had leadership over both the L.A. Galaxy and the L.A. Kings when the club won its first Stanley Cup. I don't see why Portland isn't at least on the radar then, other than the NHL is stupid.

I'm sure it has been asked before, but can any one from Portland say for sure that they would support what would most likely be a struggling franchise like the Panthers? I feel that we may go down the same road in Portland if the team's struggles would continue.

Wow. Jon Kitna in his early days after the NFL Europe stint.

Bye bye, Florida Panthers. Quebec City will finally get their team back soon. Will it be the Panthers or the Coyotes?

Anyone know what fonts were used for old NBC and CBS football scores in the 80s?

I'm torn on this one. I think the gray makes it pop a bit more though. But IMO, it's a toss up.

QBs is a bad position to make that certain kind of point. With the new rules and pass happy offenses, there are many good QBs. A better position would be RBs or CBs. There aren't that many good ones. But overall, the talent pool isn't good enough for 32 teams even in the NFL. The NHL will not move Detroit back to the western conference. Imagine the uproar. It would be worse than it was before realignment.

What I find more fascinating is the huge gap between each letter of 'Epps.' That's why I originally posted this on the other page... I actually liked the way his name was spaced out on the back. I remember watching a replay of 'The Drive' and I remember seeing a player for the Broncos with 3 letters and I remember how spaced out it was.Edit: After research, the player's name is Clarence Kay.

and a player in the wrong body. I love Curt Schilling, but man that dude didn't give one thought to keeping himself in shape or doing any exercising. My dad was a huge Schilling fan and I used to tease my dad by saying that Schilling got fatter and fatter each year.

Which reminds, I prefer pullover jerseys over button-ups. It's been a while since we've heard this one.

My state is kind of an odd one. Half of New Jersey likes New Jersey/New York teams. But the southern half likes Philadelphia teams so I see a lot of New Jersey license plates down here that have Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers logos.

I'm not sure how unpopular or popular of an opinion this is but I am in full agreement.

Yeah god forbid that they can use more than one helmet per season. Sadly, since they can't even wear throwback helmets anymore, this will never happen.

Black, copper, and white - with the only barely-noticeable blue being on the sleeves - and that could easily be mistaken for black. The Capitals logo I actually like - the colors? Awful.It was a slightly better version of the Dallas Stars Edge jersey. That's not saying much at all.

Lots of blandness. I agree. If Houston had stayed in the division, they would bring some needed color to it with their re-brand. Actually, both central divisions are boring.

This I can agree with. That unique barley color jersey is perfect for a team named the Brewers. I'll never understand why people would like to see a return of the yellow, when this is their current option. I think that gold would look a lot better paired with royal blue. I think I hate the navy/gold color combo more than the uniform design itself. I love the gold colored jerseys. I think they should go for a color in between navy and royal blue though.

Back in the day it was because the die in colored socks would bleed into a players skin and was toxic so they wore white socks and stirrups to help that. Now there really is no need for them and I hated reading uni watch because of Paul lucus' boner for themI guess that's why the white socks are called sanitary socks.

That is a very strange sight

NFL - Seattle Seahawks: I loved the old color scheme and my first ever jersey was a Steve Largent replica back in 1987. They have been my team ever since. MLB - Philadelphia Phillies: home team Baltimore Orioles: I was a huge fan of Cal Ripken Jr. NHL - Philadelphia Flyers: home team NBA - Philadelphia 76ers: not a huge NBA fan but they are my home team College Football - Pennsylvania State University: my alma mater and favorite NCAA team since I was young Florida State: Somewhat of a bandwagoner on this one. When I was young in the late 80s/early 90s, I didn't know any better and like both FSU and UF. My dad said I couldn't do that so I picked the Seminoles. Soccer - Chelsea: I saw a random EPL game with them and Liverpool in 1999 or 2000. This was before they were really good. I liked the way they played and they were a bit of an underdog back then.

Nevermind the wrong uniform, that hardly even looks like him! Where is his signature pony tail??

The Flyers have to play with the Rangers, Devils, and Islanders.

It's where he started Oh what could've been for the 80s and 90s Phillies if they had kept him. Nothing would have been any different for the 80s or 90s. Not sure how old you are but that was an organization that was not run in a way that was conducive to winning, or even competing. Also, not a single negative word has been said about him, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. When the team flops (or players start dying on the field due to old age or osteoperosis or something, because old), it will be on RAJ, not Sandberg. I'm 32 so I do remember some of those crappy teams. He would have made them at least watchable. As for him taking the heat when the team flops, he will be the scapegoat once RAJ is gone.

He won't have much of a shot because the media around here are bashing the team and saying they are too old. Rightfully so and it's a shame because it won't be his fault.
