  1. In college football, it used to be that those wearing "double numbers" were simply walkons who were stood on the sidelines and were at no risk of getting in the game. Then about 15 years ago (some like Nebraska have been doing it longer) most schools started to give out the same number to two scholarship players because they like the single digit numbers and coaches don't want to risk losing a player who would have to be assigned No. 46 but wants No. 7.
  2. That wouldn't be the first time Nike would do that. I know they did that with Mizzou athletics. They said they had a hard time matching their old gold for football pants, so they simply converted everything to athletic gold instead.
  3. This is what you get when you have essentially a private equity group creating apparel and not an apparel company that takes pride in its materials. Quality is not a priority, only profit margin. And printing numbers is less labor intensive and cheaper than sewing several tackle twill letters, numbers and patches onto a uniform.
  4. It appeared that they were trying to go back to more traditional cardinals uniforms with a plain red jersey and similar stripes to what they had back in their St. Louis days. Unfortunately, they half-a...ed it by replacing black with silver. Below I tweaked both the red and white uniforms. I even included a second pair of white pants to better go with the red jerseys.
  5. To me it would look odd for the Wild to wear a fauxback dating back to the 1920s-30s and then the Blues wear a jersey design that they actually wore in the late 1960's. If one team is wearing a fauxback, both most likely will.
  6. The jersey is going to be a fauxback to the 1930s. Below is a photo from the STL Authentics Twitter page. The crest will have some sort of twill logo with chain stitching. Based on the other photo, the jersey will most likely be gold based. It might be based on a 1931-32 St. Louis Flyers sweater.
  7. I'm thinking there it could be another AHA take such as the 1940-41 St. Louis Flyers sweater. The crest with the wings could easily be repurposed for a fauxback vintage St. Louis Blues logo.
  8. The night aerial shot is not St. Louis. If you look closely there are palm trees visible. That would represent Tampa most likely.
  9. I would disagree St. Louis doesn't support pro football. There was plenty of support until around 2007-2008. When you go a decade without a winning record, nobody should expect to have fans crazy about your team unless you are the only game in town. The Rams, however, will always be third behind the Cardinals and Blues. Support always drops off during long periods of mediocrity. even in St. Louis, the baseball Cardinals didn't have great attendance from 1990-1995. But the combination of the team's success and the McGwire era since 1996 that has dramatically boosted annual average attendance. The bottom line is, if the Rams get turned around, more fans will want to go. You just can't continuously support financially organizations that don't strive to create championship teams.
  10. Needing the font for the 1996 Olympics Torch Relay identified. Thanks.
