    Ichiro never chased down and beat Hank Aaron's HR record, played shortstop for the New York Yankees, or signed the first real mega deal in the league's history. Bonds was a jerk, A-Rod was disliked, and Jeter was boring and spoke in clichés. They're not part of baseball's zeitgeist for anything they did off of the baseball field (unless you count steroids, but I don't think that changes anything).

    I don't think Trout wants to be promoted. Not much they can do if that's the case.

    It's kind of surprising but also not at all surprising. He's gotten a lot of mileage for being a Stanford grad for someone who doesn't get into Stanford if he wasn't good at football. I've only seen him on TV like most people but he always seemed like an :censored: to me.

    But like... why? I can't understand why anybody willingly watches Skip Bayless or Stephen A. Smith. What's to gain from watching people make intentionally absurd arguments (loudly, in Stephen A. Smith's case)?

    They could be the 1927 Yankees and I'm still not crossing the Howard Frankland Bridge into St. Pete during rush hour to watch them play the freakin' Baltimore Orioles in a Costco.

    I don't know how people struggle to understand why people won't drive to a dumpy stadium that's a pain in the ass to get to to watch players they barely know because they all get traded as they hit their prime just to line the pockets of an owner they despise. Tampa itself is a bit of a mess with its sprawl and is considered a pretty miserable city for commuters to start with. The stadium isn't near the population centers and it isn't near the wealth. As far as I know, there isn't much in the way of public transportation to get from Tampa to the stadium in St. Pete and commuting there requires crossing one of two bridges and one of them, I-275, is one of the most congested roads in the country. I don't know if baseball in Tampa can work, but the current situation is a pretty bad one to judge whether it can or can not by.

    They are probably not the only hurdles the Rays face, but they have a combination of bad ownership, a bad stadium, and bad stadium location. On top of that, while it's impressive what they've managed to do on the field despite their budget, regularly trading off your best players for prospects doesn't do much to build loyalty. They have a generational talent that will likely be debuting this year in Wander Franco and it's difficult to get too excited because you know five or six years from now he'll be shipped off for prospects. The presence of the Yankees in Tampa doesn't help. One of the local sports radio stations plays coverage of Yankees games at night (or did as of two years ago). If they were owned by Vinick (Lightning owner) and had a more accessible stadium that actually added to the experience of attending a baseball game, they would be a lot more successful. I don't think it's a guarantee they'd be successful enough, though.

    Bridgeport, CT is located on the Long Island Sound, so that's where Sound came from in the name. The new identity is awful -- I didn't particularly like the old name or logo (although I have a uniform from when they were blue/yellow/black in my closet) but at least it had character.

    I suspected it being mid-season in the NFL was relevant because it would either mean the XFL season would have to run in the fall, which is a non-starter, or that the QB of the team representing the XFL in that game would likely be on an NFL depth chart or practice squad by then.

    Well that's not true. They made the playoffs with Brian Griese within a year or two of Elway retiring. They made the playoffs with Jake Plummer three times. And they made the playoffs with Tebow once. They have the 9th best record in the league since 2000 (and are ranked even higher if you consider '97-'99) and until the last five years or so, outside of the year they were bad enough to draft Miller at #2, their bad years were eight or nine wins and being in playoff contention. Really, since they've switched, imo, there's only been three or four teams you could argue have been more successful than them overall. As for the Jaguars... they look like the blah franchise that they are. A return to the Fred Taylor-era uniforms would give them one of the best looks in the league again.

    The one improvement would be Clemson in O-O-W, but beyond that, yeah, they all look great.

    That's my new favorite helmet. It's perfect!

    Pretty sure Florida is trolling Oklahoma by wearing orange-white-white since it's what they wore when they beat OU in the BCS National Championship game last time they played. Speaking of this game, I really love the Cheez-It Bowl logo.

    Florida's endzones will be painted differently this week. More recently they've been orange, with blue font and blue along the sidelines. I'm not a fan of these endzones.
  15. See Red
    I don't think I like that at all.

    I'd like this a lot more if the helmets weren't matte finish. Blue/white/blue would look pretty good, though.
  17. See Red
    Yeah, some sort of all-white ice uniform seems like the obvious guess considering the helmet is sitting on ice. Edit: all white confirmed by Eleven Warriors. https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2020/11/118456/ohio-state-to-wear-alternate-whiteout-jerseys-for-this-weekends-game-at-illinois

    Florida's made a change to the striping pattern on the white helmet, which they will be wearing at Vanderbilt this week. Brings it in line with the uniform striping. New: Old:

    Edit: Didn't see it was already posted. The new UNC uniforms are beautiful! Probably my favorite uniform in college football at the moment.

    Exactly... I'm a Florida fan who thinks Georgia has the best uniforms in college football. The two sports I can think of off of the top of my head are softball and women's soccer. The Gators script itself isn't a great logo but on the orange helmet, it's somewhat iconic, so I much prefer they stick with that helmet. Plus, that orange helmet looks so good under the right lighting. I'd be very much against them replacing it, as would most Gators fans, I imagine. I mean, come on... That helmet is gorgeous.

    I wasn't crazy about Florida's blue helmet but it looks pretty good on the field.

    How will the QB know where his WRs are?

    Florida has something coming tomorrow (10/26). Not much to the video except maybe a hint at some striping.

    I can't remember if we already knew but it looks like the Gators will be wearing last year's homecoming uniform again this season. I much prefer that shade of blue.
