I apologize if this has been used before, but here's Richard Jefferson as a member of the Utah Jazz:

I'm in the boat that says more color combos and uniform choices is good. It's more money in the teams' pockets, and if done right can give a really cool and uniquely defined identity to a team. Some combos don't work and shouldn't be used (ex. just because a team has a white helmet, red jersey and black pants doesn't mean they should be used together ... or, for instance, the Reds don't need to bust out a black jersey just because black is used in their logo), but I'm a firm believer in "more is more" when it comes to teams' identities (ex. Colorado football in 2015, with 4 helmets, 4 jerseys and 4 pants making it work).

I'm also a fan of the concept of Color Rush uniforms but the execution on some of them (Miami, Chicago) is either lazy or unappealing.

Pacers prototype from 2005:

If it was used back in '05 I woulda said that is somewhat similar to the Sonics design. If it were unveiled tomorrow I'd welcome it with open arms over what they use now.

I love every uniform Kevin W. hates. Seriously. I love Oregon's uniforms and outlandish designs. I believe there are only a handful of schools (Penn State, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, etc.) that should have traditional uniforms.

I usually don't like looks where the helmet, jersey and pants are all different colors, or piping but I have always liked these Falcons jerseys. I think the sleeve striping and numbers look sharp. The piping on the jersey and pants seems to fit in well too.

Agreed, I usually hate it when uniforms don't match, but these and the Jaguars black/teal/white look are pretty good.

- I love the brown/yellow Padres color scheme.

- The Seahawks lime green, Bucs creamsicles, and Texans blood clot unis are great.

- BFBS is alright in my book (love you guys too )

- I can't stand when football teams don't match either helmet/jersey, helmet/pants, or jersey/pants. I hate teams with mismatching uniforms (Ex. Broncos orange jerseys)

- I'm a firm believer that even tradition needs an update, such as the Yankees, Red Sox, Penn State, etc. (did I mention that I love you guys?)

- Two tones of the same base color in a color scheme (ex. the Grizzlies two-tone blue) are amazing (but not the Chargers navy/powder paired with gold)

I've had a crazy idea for a NCAA realignment. It involves an "FBS-like" idea throughout the major college sports. It involves four 24-team conferences, separated into four 6-team divisions. Here is the alignment for football (basketball and other sports have a few teams swapped here and there):

Northeast Conference

North Division

Army - Boston College - Connecticut - Navy - Penn State - Syracuse

South Division

Louisville - Kentucky - Maryland - Virginia - Virginia Tech - West Virginia

East Division

Cincinnati - Notre Dame - Pittsburgh - Purdue - Rutgers - Villanova

West Division

Illinois - Indiana - Michigan - Michigan State - Northwestern - Ohio State

Northwest Conference

North Division

Iowa - Iowa State - Minnesota - Washington - Washington State - Wisconsin

South Division

BYU - Kansas - Kansas State - Nebraska - Utah - Utah State

East Division

Boise State - Fresno State - Idaho - Missouri - Nevada - UNLV

West Division

California - Colorado - Colorado State - Oregon - Oregon State - Stanford

Southeast Conference

North Division

Clemson - Duke - NC State - North Carolina - South Carolina - Wake Forest

South Division

Central Florida - Florida - Florida International - Florida State - Miami - Sout Florida

East Division

Georgia - Georgia Tech - Mississippi State - Ole Miss - Tennessee - Vanderbilt

West Division

Alabama - Arkansas - Auburn - LSU - Marshall - UAB

Southwest Division

North Division

Air Force - Baylor - Oklahoma - Oklahoma State - Tulsa - Wyoming

South Division

New Mexico - New Mexico State - San Diego State - Texas - Texas A&M - Texas Tech

East Division

Houston - Louisiana Tech - Rice - SMU - TCU - UTEP

West Division

Arizona - Arizona State - Hawaii - San Jose State - UCLA - USC

A few bugs to be worked out, but it's alright. Each team plays all division opponents once a season. For playoffs, the top 4 teams in each division (first by overall record, then division record, then head-to-head) make bowl games. The division winner makes one of (now) 8 BCS Bowls, and the rest make non-BCS bowls. All BCS bowls are between 1/1 - 1/8. Non-BCS Bowls are 3-a-day from 12/23 - 12/31 (no games on 12/25). The bottom two teams in each division play another non-qualifier from another division in a "Non-Bowl" game.

And

I guess after the whole "Retired or not" thing, he forgot which green team he played for. Then after another "Retired or not" fiasco, he returned to the NFC North, but he forgot which NFC North team he was on.

Not to mention I'm still pissed couldn't play for crap as a Jet.

For all of this NCAA super-conference hoopla, make 4 major "super-conferences." A 24-team Northeast conference (12 teams in an Eastern division, 12 in a Western), a 24-Team Southwest conference (same as Northeast), 24-Team Northwest conference (same as Northeast), and a 12-team Southwest conference (all teams in one division). Then put the rest of the Division I schools in other, smaller conferences.

If I was about 15 years younger (I'm 19), I would say that would be amazing. But god only knows how bad that would look on the ice.
