Ads on the sweaters were inevitable. It sucks but we all knew it was coming. What I find funny is that the Premier League is cracking down on gambling sponsor ads on the clubs' shirts and North America (at least the US is) is doubling down on gambling as a whole.

I like the colors but the uniform already looks a bit dated right off the bat.

This doesn't surprise me, given their ownership group. Disappointing, nonetheless. 

Your Utah Nets, everybody!

That is certainly...unique.

Another team wearing black as their predominant color. The Wings, Vancouver, and Panther City (I still hate saying this name) all have black uniforms. Not a huge number but it is close to a quarter of the league. I'm sure that the Las Vegas team will wear black too.

Moral of the story: Full spelling is important!

Speaking of which, are Beggin Strips made by Alpo? That would be a semi-funny coincidence.

Chelsea made a better Dortmund kit than Dortmund

The yellow seems a bit muted for my liking but Dortmund's kits have been bad the last few years, so I agree.

It's always funny to see the GP's reaction to these things. All over Reddit the comments were complaining that it looked like a Bengals jersey...

 

A set the Browns have basically worn before. That is mostly the same as our current road uniform. With a throwback helmet we've worn before (essentially). And it's not just the drop shadow, which of course the Bengals used to wear, but some were arguing that the sleeves were too similar. Yes, our classic sleeve stripes seen on our uniforms since the 40s are too reminiscent of Boomer Esiason suddenly. 

Some of these people would know the difference unless the franchise changed colors. Maybe that is why we have now have Nike's city connect in baseball and the 700 uniforms in the NBA.

I didn't dislike her. She was fine on College Gameday. This probably isn't even fair to her, but she has this "HERE I AM!" energy that I find off-putting. 

Fair enough. I really don't know her from anything other than College Gameday so I can't speak on it.

I have nothing to add other than, if any of these rumors are true, then this is a complete joke.

I saw that Kenny Mayne is doing a Olympics show with Cari Champion (I think that was her). Does NBC just pull a car up to the ESPN HQ and wait for the anchors to leave or be let go so they can hand them a contract?

After all that hullabaloo Maria Taylor and ESPN couldn't reach an agreement on a contract extension. Statements from ESPN and Maria Taylor - ESPN Press Room U.S.

 

I wish her well, but I can't say I'll miss her on College Gameday. 

I don't watch ESPN much at all but I thought she was, at the least, decent on College Gameday. What don't you like about her?

The number font is probably the least offensive part of the jersey.

The Flyers had gotten rid of the orange sweater and used the black uniform as the primary away look. So, that was literally a very dark period for them.

They also had that not-so-good orange alt with the gray in the logo and uniform. That was the worst the Flyers has ever looked pre-Edge.

They still have the fruit roll up numbers but this is 100x better. 

So, how long until these can become the primary away look?

Based on that logo alone, it seems as though the colors have been changed too. 

Is this the tournament that Belgium finally gets over the hump? The only nation that would scare me is their opponent in the quarterfinals. I think the winner of Belgium/Italy will be the Euro 20210 champ.

Since the appropriate thread is currently locked…

 

 

Knowing how Nike has handled the gold color of a certain LA basketball team, the Rams will be decked out head to toe in highlighter yellow.

So how many helmets will each NFL team have by 2025? We all know they will not stop at 2.

As long as the NFL keeps the rule of being able to wear alternates 3 times a season then I am completely fine with this.  Everyone should just chill out, we got 18 weeks in the NFL season now and a large majority of it will still be in the primary uniforms for each team.

I suppose if this were to remain true, I would be okay with it. But I don't trust any league as far as I could throw any of its commissioners. After all, corporate logos on NHL teams' helmets was supposed to be a one-season thing, to "recoup losses from COVID-19".

Can't wait for stormtrooper (or icy whites) looks for all 32 teams...

Edit: 31 teams - the Rams will have to settle for all-bone.

Great game by Scotland yesterday. They had the better opportunities against the Three Lions. I really hope both will advance to the next round!

Scotland looked good. The defense shut England's attack down. I just wish they had any type of scoring ability. England will most likely get through with 4 points but they have not looked particularly good in either match.

Germany's shirts are great but them in all white still looks funny to me. France looked classy.

Fantastic matchup between Poland and Slovakia, featuring two of the nicest individual kits in the tournament:

Poland almost always has nice clean looks in major tournaments. Slovakia looks great! I like the double blue with splashes of red.
