They came out of nowhere, but they seem legit.

That's one of the first ones that comes to mind for me. They've tried to dress it up a bit since I first went to a game there in 1991, but it still looks pretty daunting when you see 50+ feet of steel beams holding up an upper deck that was added 60 years after the stadium was built. 1960 -- 1982 (or at least the status then, though the picture is probably a lot older) -- 1991 -- Present --

I'm curious to hear a neutral (more or less) opinion on this -- The Ravens decision to run a play with :03 left to keep their 100 yard rushing streak alive was: A. An egregious affront to the principles of sportsmanship and the unwritten rules of the game; or B. Simply part of playing until the end of the game (and if you don't like the decision, then stop them from picking up the necessary yardage)

That's pretty typical of older European soccer stadiums . . . and a lot of American college football stadiums.

That's a fair point. That said, part of the brilliance of the Whalers logo is that it still works even if you don't notice the H. If you don't pick up the U in this one, it's just a H with a weird appendage/tumor on one side. The color choices would definitely make a difference here.

To me, that one both does and doesn't. Making a large U in black (or more likely green) and a smaller one using the negative space seems very awkward to me.

It's the only one with both letters that even sort of reads as UH.

I'm surprised it took this look for this one to come up. It's the first one I thought of. The setting was even more apparent from the inside before the addition on the "left field" side.

The article makes it sound like it is still a possibility if the Pac-12 decides to expand after all. It would be interesting to see how that would play out.

I guess we can assume that the championship of the Big XII basketball tournament won't be played on a Sunday.

I'll be the dissenter on the Breakers. The teal would look great if you were starting from scratch. However, I am of the opinion that the Breakers look is/was almost iconic. Therefore, I think it would be a mistake to change the color scheme (though apparently not a New Coke/49ers One Day Helmet type since I'm apparently in the minority). All that said, I may also be biased on this. I was a junior in high school in 1983, so I have actual memories of seeing the USFL on the field. The Breakers became one of my favorite teams primarily as a result of their uniforms (and secondarily because they were like the feisty underdogs in an undersized college stadium with a former bartender for a kicker*) * -- A former bartender with NFL experience, but why ruin the narrative?

To me, it looks like the first 4 doesn't have a top serif while the second one does. It's definitely not clear.

Heck, if my eyes don't deceive me, No. 44 (near the top left) is wearing two different 4s on the front of his jersey.

This is a pretty good summary of my feelings on the subject. Certain numbers/number groups had a feel that went with them. That is lost when (to use the first example I can think of) Patrick Queen is playing ILB and wearing No. 6.* * -- It's still weird enough to me that he used to wear 48, but LBs in the 40s are just common enough now for it to be less jarring.

With this being the case, maybe a lantern would be a better choice for the logo. That said, I did a quick Google Image Search for "church beacon" and pretty much every logo that came up uses a lighthouse.

The top of the lighthouse is obviously meant to emulate the campus building that appeared throughout the video. That said, it does look like a quickie MS Paint job, as @GriffinM6 said. Also, I would normally think that a lighthouse seems a little incongruous for a college in the middle of Indiana. However, Valpo isn't too far from Michigan City and this lighthouse.

Will it be called "Really, Really Small Potatoes"?

Maybe. To me, the connections are the piping and the logo and number placement.

That is a great logo for a baseball cap. I can't imagine why they would want to phase it out (other than if they want consistent use of the primary WV logo). And for my contribution to the post . . . Nationals-style Univ. of Maryland -- Johns Hopkins mixing it up . . . Orioles-style ornithologically correct cap, 80s-early 90s Giants-style script . . . and vests --

I know it is a product of my mind playing tricks on me, but they don't bother me as much as they should. If I saw them on a new uniform, I would automatically say they're a mess. However, since I know what they're supposed to look like and they still appear in full on the QB cut, my mind completes them (for lack of a better phrase) on the other jerseys.

Where is the "Dislike" button when you need it?

Geez, you're right. I never really looked closely at that logo before.

It's what I do.

Doesn't that unfairly exclude the non-athletes? We are all Students!

This shows just how much of an effect the alarm clock numbers had on the uniform as a whole. The jersey (at least standing alone) isn't bad with block numbers. The only real problem is the logo/wordmark mismatch on the sleeves.
