Well everyone, we have now hit the era of the slippery slope in NFL aesthetics.

New Era and Nike will never get that B correct will they?

I initially looked at the B and I thought:

Why is the one team wearing Boston Red Sox jerseys?

Friday night primetime MLS soccer on ESPN is pretty sweet, actually. Especially when it's LAFC/LA Galaxy. Too bad Bale wasn't ready yet.

Especially when the Union put up a 7 spot on one of their rivals.

If those schools end up in the Big XII, I wouldn't be surprised to see Stanford and Cal eventually wind up in the Big Ten. Stanford is one of the top academic institutions in the country and has a decent sports program. Pair that with bringing  in the Bay Area market, and it makes for a pretty appealing addition to now having the LA market. Cal would work as a "travel partner" school for Stanford and the LA schools.

Stanford would be a good way to possibly draw in Notre Dame, and of course the school has the academic reputation. Cal is great academically as well but I don't see them really adding anything of value.

Big Ten: "Oh, just you watch."

 

You can't beat a Rutgers night game in volleyball, basketball, tennis, softball, baseball, etc. at UCLA on a Wednesday...10:00 PM local.

What's next for the Big Ten? Gonna grab Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, Montana State, Colorado College of Mines, Middle Tennessee State, Miami (FL), Miami (OH), Rhode Island School of Design, the Detroit Lions, Northwest Louisiana State (but only if it exists), Georgia Tech, and Coastal Carolina.

It's time to bring U. Chicago back.

College football, as we knew it, is completely dead. It started dying 12 years ago and it was on life support when Texas and Oklahoma bolted for the SEC.

This might really kill my interest. I have no desire to see Penn State play a conference game against USC or UCLA. 

That Padres jersey looks like a Players Weekend jersey swallowed some glow sticks.

LOL, I see this opinion is deeply unpopular.

 

I'm still standing by it. Pat Patriot is an illustration, not a logo, and it's too detailed, too vertical, and not horizontal enough to look good on a helmet. It's inferior not only to the Flying Elvis, but also to the rejected 1978 prototypes and the 1960 tri-quarter hat logo. The uniforms in general look more like Ole Miss, LaTech or FAU than a professional football team, and they're mostly associated with decades of heartbreak and futility on the field. And the specific version of that look they always choose to throw back to isn't even the best one in my opinion (I prefer the 1967-69 version).

 

I've said it many times, but the 1993 uniforms were the best the Patriots ever looked and they made a big mistake by ever changing them. Even the red numbers on the home jersey would have stopped being as much of an issue once everything switched over to HDTV.

I like the Patriot Pat logo but I agree that it is way too detailed for a helmet. It belongs on stationery like teams had back in the day. I also agree with you that their best look was the 1993 look. I like the more simplified jersey with the non-italicized numbers and no sublimated stripes. I didn't mind what came after the 93 look but it was inferior. 

Still, I'm glad the Patriot Pat uniform is back. It beats the hell out anything they have worn for the last 20 years.

This looks like something that should have been built in the 90s, when people still cared about SI.

with the jazz pretty much having no choice but to accept their purple alternate jerseys as part of their main brand, this is gonna be their color palette for the next three seasons. 

 

Looks like a printer test page but it needs magenta.

The 13 year old version of myself that still resides inside me loves those Northwestern uniforms. I especially love the black over purple look with the purple helmet.

Almost everything about the Eagles brand is outdated, except for the logo. That still holds up, IMO. But to replace the old wordmark with what I will call "generic modern NFL font" is not good. 

Since we have to have the travesty of a late fall World Cup, I like that the PL break ends with the Boxing Day schedule. That just seems right.

Finally single digits for us in the GB column!

This is why I couldn't even root for the Notre Dame chess team (if such a thing exists).

La Liga should worry about the financial fair play in its own league. There are basically 3 clubs and everyone else.

I am a lacrosse fan who will admit that he doesn't watch enough college lacrosse. Who is most likely to spoil the Terps' party?

You use the word "desirable" a little too loosely with the bolded.

And may it always be that way. Seems just like yesterday that the Flyers were subjecting us to this (and its hideous Edge cousin, which I refuse to post): 

I loved that black sweater but I regretted it once they made that the primary.

This rebrand just gets dumber by the day

I didn't like their chances against the Heat as it was. This certainly won't help.

So let's count all of the teams that wear black as its base color.

Philadelphia

Vancouver

Calgary

Panther City

Las Vegas

Then add in the ones that have a decent amount of black in their scheme.

Buffalo

Rochester

Colorado 

Saskatchewan

60% of the teams have a considerable amount of black in its unforms. That is a lot.

Are black and white the colors of the team? No article that I have read said anything about the colors. Hopefully the black and white are just placeholders. More than half of the league seems to use black prominently.
