Cardiff City recently unveiled their new kit for the next season, their first in the Premier League. Not only did the new-ish owners recently (last year) change their home colours from Blue to Red, but this years features two different shades of Red. The fans protested and they have no opened it up to a vote between season ticket holders as to which kit they will wear. Option 1 was the protested kit.

The unpopular opinion... I actually prefer the protested option 1 to anything else.

Wayne Rooney on Everton, anyone?

It isn't really "wrong" considering he was at the club from when he was 11 until he was sold to Manchester United for £30m when he was 19. He spent just over 2 seasons in Everton's first team too.

You could maybe count this shirt as wrong though:

No it is a REVO Speed. I recognise the shape of the ear hole as well as the little "Riddell" sticker where the horizontal and vertical bars meet directly below the tip of the arrow.

My bad for putting a question mark when it was more of a statement.

FWIW:

Rawlings

REVO Speed

Anyone got a photoshoped pic of Alex Smith in, what is not offical but most likely, his new KC Chiefs uni? This is all I could find.

Found one.

They didn't even bother to change the facemask color..... That looks REALLY out of place with a KC uniform

Isn't that a regular style facemask on a Riddell REVO Speed too?

Steven Gerrard

The story behind this:

Liverpool's city rivals Everton had won the league title and community shield that year and a relative (possibly an Aunt) of Gerrard's took him to get his photograph taken with the trophys. He is now well known for having spent his entire career at Liverpool (since age 7) winning a number of trophys, but importantly never the league title. Which makes this image even more interesting. It is commonly used by Everton fans as 'want to see Steven Gerrard with the league title?".

Manchester-born United and Wales legend Ryan Giggs - representing (and captaining) England schoolboys team before swapping allegiances to Wales, apparently in honour to his welsh grandfather. Oh Ryan, what could have been.

Spoiler due to large image.

Story

Actually, the entire site is messed up on my IE 8 machine. The search bar is in the middle of the main banner, the reply buttons are in the wrong place, and there are many other alignment issues. It could be my browser since it's work controlled and they could have put some update on that messses things up, but again, I'm not seeing this with any other site.

Fonts/Font size appears different to me too.

Phil Mickelson, Toledo Mud Hens

Lefty is a Righty?!?

As a matter of fact, yes. He's a righty whom golfs left.

I'm actually surprised that so many people golf righty, because left is the dominant hockey shot.

For the longest time, they didn't make left handed golf clubs, or so I've been told.

He plays left handed because when he was younger he mirrored his Dad's (right-handed) stance. Can't actually confirm that with a reliable source, but I remember learning that when the British Golf Open was at Hoylake a few miles from my house. Thought it was an interesting fact.

Does any one know where the template is for the side view Revo speed helmets like in the sig above?

Try these I found when looking for this template not too long ago:
