  1. Looked at the league schedule and there are no more games listed for Bally/Stadium broadcast. Now that college basketball is beginning to wind down, I wonder if PVF games will start airing on CBS and/or CBS Sportsnet?
  2. I remember when there was an ECHL team that played at the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro called the Chesapeake Icebreakers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesapeake_Icebreakers
  3. Was watching the YouTube stream of the Omaha/Atlanta game. Somebody in the chat brought up inconsistent spacing between double digit numbers. I went down a mini rabbit whole of PVF game images. They weren't wrong. Number 11 for Omaha tonight had a huge gap between the ones on her jersey compared to the one and eight on De La Cruz' number 18 jersey, as well as number 10. Pretty much every double digit Vegas jersey had a wide space between the numbers in their last game. Does that bug anybody else? Don't really see it from major sports uniform suppliers these days. When I do see it though, it really grinds my gears.
  4. Las Vegas seemed like the oddest city for this league to be honest. From what I understand LV is not a major volleyball market compared to other cities currently not in PVF. I guess PVF saw a legit ownership group step forward in Vegas and brought them into the fold.
  5. From what I could tell the Las Vegas Aces openly acknowledge the Thrill. Even some Raiders players have been spotted at their games. Not sure about other PVF cities. To be fair though 2 of the league's 7 cities have no existing major franchises.
  6. I find myself rooting for the Orlando Valkyries since MK White is from the same county I am. With that said, for as good as she can be offensively Jill Gillen is a defensive liability on the front line. She rarely makes contact with the opposing team's spikes let alone blocks them. It seems like teams target her when they can. Definitely felt like Omaha was doing that today.
  7. After several games being played, I personally think Vegas has the worst jerseys in this league. The long sleeve dark teal jerseys the liberos wear is okay, but those gold to white and dark to light teal gradient jerseys are just plain bad.
  8. Good to see San Diego get a win. Prior to last night their team looked flat out incompetent.
  9. Columbus Fury wins 3-1. Over 9K in attendance.
  10. Columbus is playing their first home game. Pretty good attendance. I'm sure the upper decks of Nationwide Arena were not made available, but they have the lower bowl about 80% full going off the eyeball test.
  11. San Francisco? I have a slight memory of an MLL team existing in San Fran
  12. San Diego suuuuucks! You don't even need to be a volleyball expert to realize this is a bad team.
  13. Sounds like ownership/management is the problem if they are not marketing themselves to the entire metro area. A potential relocation wouldn't change a thing. They likely do the same thing in a different market. Does NLL have procedures in place to forcibly remove an ownership group in a situation like this?
  14. It's a no for me. It reminds me of the Tennessee Titans' current current jerseys, which I was never a fan of. I remember when the teams unveiled (one of) their uniforms a while back, and seeing a royal blue Orlando jersey. I don't recall there being any armor design on it though, so I assumed their third was a long sleeve royal blue version of the other jerseys. The sky blue and white jerseys look way better than these. And it's a little odd they went with royal blue instead of navy blue for the third jersey. Royal blue is not present in any other part of their branding.
  15. First half of the final was a little chippy. Wouldn't be surprised if the Cannons and Waterdogs (still hate that name) have a full blown brawl this summer.
  16. There may be no long sleeve jerseys in baseball, but I'm pretty sure the Rockies still have those vests in their rotation.
  17. Lucky you! They go out there way to point out most of the players in this league have played major D1 volleyball, played in an high level overseas leagues and/or played in international volleyball competition. I never doubted the quality of play would be an issue. My only gripe with their branding is they have too many colors. It makes since with actual supernovas being colorful, but perhaps they should have pulled a Steelers move as far as having logo colors vs uniform colors. Realistically where do you think this team will peak for attendance this season? Keeping in mind Omaha is one of the best teams in PVF and Nebraska is easily the volleyball capital of the US. Could you imagine the arena opening up sections that were previously unavailable? How close do you think they could get to reaching the arena's max capacity?
  18. Best quality photo I could find of Orlando's third jersey
  19. Orlando debuted long sleeve royal blue and silver jerseys tonight. Not a fan.
  20. DC United new shirts in action
  21. Don't think this league has any assigned home/away uniforms. As far as Vegas goes their jersey sets appear to be teal gradient, gold/white gradient and their liberos wore solid dark teal in their first match.
