  1. As much as I would actually love to see Tom Brady win a 5th ring (even as a Bears fan I still appreciate greatness) I can't imagine what the heck a fifth trophy would look like on a ring. They might be the first team to have championship brass knuckles...Dear Lord those are ginormous!!!
  2. Why? It's so super. You know...groovy. It's far-out, man. just saw this and I read it in Jon Gruden's voicejust saw this and I read it as Frank Caliendo's impression of Jon Gruden's voice
  3. Thank you for your recommendation of this movie. I will definitely want to see it now. The ads on TV and the radio certainly didn't seem to do it much justice because they seemed so cheesy and predictable. I was under the impression that it was trying too hard to be football's version of Moneyball. Glad to hear that you liked it. I will put it on my must see list.
  4. Unpopular opinion: That's an amazing uniform. The Astros should go back to it full-time. Exactly my opinion. No lie. It's amazing.Isn't this a popular opinion? The tequila sunrise uniforms were greatHappy happy Maybe the unpopular opinion is that the navy caps are better than the orange caps with this uniform set. I love this set but HATE the orange caps. Navy caps are the way to go in my opinion.
  5. Still doesn't change my thought process behind my comment. They are making it more about LeBron and less about the franchise. There should be THREE trophies on the FRONT of the ring. If they want to make a note about LeBron or the three players coming together or whatever, then do it on the SIDE. I'm not a fan of what they did...maybe its just me. I'm no fan of his, but I think you're wrong here. When you've got back-to-back championships, I'm okay with celebrating that on the front of the ring at the expense of all prior titles. We agree to disagree then. I feel that it should always be about the franchise on the front and the individual stories on the sides. I believe it has been that way for years and I don't know of any other professional ring that mimics this trend. I could be totally wrong, but I don't remember a team doing anything similar to this. I'm not against a team bucking the trend and creating something new. I'm just not a fan of this. It seems way too pretentious for my liking. The Lakers have done it with their recent rings. Great point. I actually noticed that after I commented while researching some of the past NBA rings. They had three triangles on the ring that seemed to represent the three titles as well as something that Jackson and the team were preaching throughout their quest. If I remember correctly it was something esoteric, which was typical of Jackson's philosophies at the time. Somehow I still don't like it with the Heat though. I must be projecting too much of my feelings about the whole LeBron thing. Who knows?

  8. ^ Exactly. I think they might be acknowledging the whole "LeBron Repeat" Phenomenon. I personally don't like that.
  9. While I appreciated this look, I believe that their current red, white & blue look is much better. I will say that I actually prefer the old Wizards jerseys with these same colors as opposed to the red, white & blue Bullets knock offs.
  10. I like that one better than thier last one. I think that pic is black and white. The actual rings look like they have gold in them. That said, the 2010 rings are my favorites. Perfect example of how a little bit of color, with the perfect placement takes a totally bland design and makes it classy and downright perfect. The Tigers' ring is on point while the Giants' ring seems like its missing something. Both have eye pleasing designs, but only the Tigers' ring feels complete to me. Sad because their ring is only for an AL Championship and not the whole shabang.
  11. This comment doesn't belong in this particular thread in my opinion. I also think their logo is great and in due time most people will too. Its too early to put them in this category because it is way too new.
  12. Interesting, I'd say just the opposite. The old one looks like it could've evolved from something from the early-mid 20th century. The new one screams "1999" to me. After watching the SB last night I went online and researched the logo and uniform history of the Ravens and I agree that the "old" look with the winged shield helmets are far superior to the current look. I almost wonder if it would have been worth it for the franchise to just buy out the guy who sued them and continue using the look. That being said, I'm not a fan of the first set of uniforms that they unveiled. I'm not sure what year it was from, but at some point in their early history they used the winged shield helmets with a uniform set that looked a lot more like the current one (which I actually like). It even featured that spread wing flying raven on the sleeves, which I find to be absolutely gorgeous.
  13. I don't necessarily hate their athletic gold ones, but I'm with you on the new colors are way better. As long as gold pants are worn with it, it's a great look. I don't even mind blue pants on the road only. Add me to the list of people who prefer the gold pants to anything else they've worn with the newer uni set. Does anyone know why it seems like most "metallic" colors like silver and gold aren't being replicated as such in pant fabrics anymore? It seemed like it was so simple to do years ago but now the look seems non-existent. Does it have something to do with the new performance materials or is it more of an aesthetic choice? I was just wondering, because I don't mind grey being used in place of silver but tan (or mustard) in place of gold is incredibly annoying in my opinion.
  14. Agreed. That's their best look. didn't think so for the first two quarters but it definitely grew on me the more I watched. Great look. The less white the better IMO.
  15. I agree that navy and copper look better than their blue and orange, but the red really threw it off. I don't know why a lot of teams in the 90s felt the need to add red. If Gretzky had worn these while the Oilers were spanking the entire hockey world in the 80's then maybe I'd be swayed, but I still can't bring myself to accept the navy. sorry.
