  1. If they make the SB they will probably make a similar error. But there's a chance we get something gorgeous. Don't need another red bowl.
  2. Apples and orange. Yankees didn't use a double outline and don't have a vibrant blue. Same with the Tigers, the orange can do the job which makes the white redundant. Don't feel the same applies for the Yankees. In modern gray, I think the stripes worked better. The classic look was lovely on the flannel gray. But I guess I'd land at "lateral move."
  3. I've always liked this suggestion and I love that the NBA has so much purple. Pairing the Red Rocks format with the cool color scheme has been my preferred modernization route (90s look is fun but not worth bringing back full time IMO). Have never understood the clamoring for copper, personally. The contrast between a bright blue and a darker purple would be plenty to work with.
  4. It's been a long journey for Michigan to get back to the national championship. They haven't played in a title game before and Harbaugh was dogged for years about losing big games (against rivals and in bowls). Not to mention everything that went down this season. And they choose not to wear their classic, iconic uniform in favor of alternate monochrome pants. They are so easy to hate. Go Huskies!
  5. I think they came out and said they wouldn't do Tues or Wednesday. But most years in the near future would be on other days when it would be in play. I don't think the NBA will drop Christmas games, though, even if playing second fiddle in the ratings. Adjacent opinion: I wish the Bucks still used Christmas colors.
  6. This was a great looking game. Most special Christmas uniforms don't do much for me though. Love the snowflake logo and don't mind a traditional looking marquee matchup.
  7. I actually really like the wordmark from this era and the logo in a vacuum is fine. But it was an odd choice for Pepsi and I think everyone knew they'd eventually go back to the classic logo in some form. A strange futurist detour.
  8. It was wine & gold but with a brighter, more royal blue. Felt like a mashup of the original colors & look with the original Cavs blue from the 80s/90s. Looking at pictures though, seems a bit lighter than even those Mark Price era blues. The original CavFanatic jersey: The following season's CavFanatic was a less confusing mash-up: Love talking football jerseys!
  9. I thought they looked decent but would be curious what the set would look like if the jersey matched the normal pants. I also wouldn't mind a non-monochrome gray jersey look. And/or perhaps a version using the double-decker stripes? They've basically exhausted the "color rush" looks they've been doing, so I'm curious if they'll continue to rotate them like they have with the blackout or what they might move to next in terms of developing alts.
  10. EuroLeague has an improved talent level and it can be argued their rules are smarter/better enforced for a more watchable product. That said, there's no reason to put any weight in an exhibition game. The fact that the stars barely played showed the level of intensity the entire team was at.
  11. Because of the colors involved I'd absolutely bump Chargers-Chiefs to the top. Most agree the Indy alt is unnecessary but it seems to be surprisingly well liked. I feel like they could either incorporate black or go all blue, but this feels like a meh compromise to me. That NOLA-Jax game is hilarious. Teal & gold pants would've done wonders even for two uniforms that I don't love in a vacuum.
  12. Dunno but I went in there once to hit the bathroom after getting off the PATH and it was the worst bar experience of my life. Toilet paper seemed to be covering the floor (the main room, not the bathroom). When I got downstairs for the toilet there was a stall with no door and some chode offering a bump while I tried to take a piss. I'm sure the gameday atmosphere is... sufferable.
  13. Big Red is among the greatest mascots in sports to me. I've felt this way since those mid-aughts mascot brackets Capital One (I think?) used to do.
  14. Shocked, SHOCKED I say that there has been no mention of the Bills in a "worst NFL uniforms of all time" discussion. Maybe so much time has passed with their current proper look that we've washed it from our collective memories. Bucs don't even sniff these sets IMO.
  15. Nice work! Agreed with all selections with the exception of Denver-KC. I understand your reasoning but Denver looks cohesive and balanced, and the all-red couldn't ask for a much better matchup than navy/white. Maybe not a top placement but a solid looking game to me. Now in terms of placement, it makes no sense to drop TB-Detroit to 3rd. It won the weekend easily IMO. First, Detroit wearing white socks to match the jersey and contrast the silver pants is a much better choice than pairing purple/navy socks with the same colored pants in the other matchups. Second, the colors are just undeniable.* Gorgeous game, arguably the best of the season. *subjectively...lol
  16. Mostly safe as they use team colors here and it isn't an outlandish design. Interested in seeing higher quality photos of that trim. When I first saw it, my assumption was that it was some Slovenian pattern since there is a large population in Cleveland. Imagining the reactions if they did some sort of chandelier look.
  17. All-maroon seems like a smart choice against USC. Just feel very strongly that Sparky should be the primary logo.
  18. Primary home uniforms also would've been perfection. A shame.
  19. Love it, including the emphasis on vibrancy. For me, the color matchup is always a big factor because you're not just watching two uniforms in a vacuum, but always appreciate the varied strong opinions. Looks like the Cards choice to go all red from the shoulders down is gonna keep them stuck in the worst pile after years in the dog house lol. Also, re: Jets, their throwback helmet logo looked fantastic but actually would fit better with their current uniform. The uniform itself did not move the needle for me, just the choice to wear green socks (idk how often they do that with their primaries).
  20. I feel like both the blue and green shades were brightened for the Seahawks throwback this season as well, so this route is not surprising from Nike. Definitely like it as an update, not a big fan of the navy & neon for Minnesota (though their uniform design has been the much more glaring issue).
  21. Well we'll have to agree to disagree. Cause to me, personally, I think you love them.
  22. Please expand on this snipe, both games looked great. Browns-Steelers matchup does not earn a worst slot IMO. Arguably belongs as an honorable mention, though I would agree the orange helmet is superior and the white alt helmet was never necessary.
  23. It bothers me so much. And the helmet stripe is just textured for no reason now because they don't even include the end of the oar. Just simplify this :censored: and ditch the white collars forever. Also, I think the Fox scorebug is fun. It's a bit oversized but I don't mind them trying it out.
  24. I don't know the actual links between the franchise and the military, but using that design motif looks good IMO. The shield is their best look by far to me. The perspective of the panther leaping is just so odd, like he has a giant upper body and teeny tiny lower body. I just don't think it has that classic charm you want, it's somewhere between the Detroit Tiger and the Cincinnati Bengal. And the current uniform feels built around the shield rather than an aughts slashy stripe look.
