The Flames' primaries are awful jerseys that should be consigned to the history books, but their current thirds definitely wouldn't be a sufficient replacement. The look is incomplete without black trim.

Yep, I've eaten a good bit of crow over the past two days. In fact, now that I think about it, I haven't been on the boards since before game seven, so congrats to the Cubs.

The Buffaslug would have looked better if it was paired with a better uniform. It would have still gone down as one of the worst logos in NHL history, but it would have been slightly improved.

But but but but but someone at a game says he knows a guy who knows a guy who can get them for me for less than half the price of the real thing and that no one can tell the difference anyway!

There is a reason why the Bulls are the only franchise in the league that has never changed its primary logo. No change is necessary.

Getting rid of the legacy of a bigoted anti-player criminal who did substantial damage to the franchise isn't a bad thing, especially since the Ballard Leaf is far from the best logo the Leafs have had.

John Scott never went into the stands to attack a fan and was never charged with assaulting a child.

Going from this: to this: is definitely a major change. The uniform is completely different and the shape of the logo is different.

Toronto has been through several major uniform changes, actually. Chicago's design has been fairly consistent since 1955, Detroit since 1932 and Montreal since they joined the league. Toronto, Boston and New York have all had at least one or two major redesigns of their uniforms throughout their history.

I agree. It's just that their current home and away sweaters, (If you can call them that ) are awful. These were perfect... Dropping the black flaming snot jerseys was definitely addition by subtraction.

The road jersey would have looked infinitely better if the Padres had used the current road wordmark rather than the bowtie.

So, what you're saying is...

Except that was used in one logo. on the pants and shoulders for three years. Now that black and blue alt was amazing! It definitely should have been there color scheme. Seven years, actually. The color was a part of their primary logo from 2000 to 2007 and the shoulder patch until 2003.

Nope. I just think that it looks absurd.

Long hair with a baseball cap looks dumb. I'm looking at you, deGrom.

Are you sure it wasn't the other way around?

Oh yeah, that's sure going to help ensure an indictment and conviction. There's no way that could blow up in his face at all.

OK, I'll grant you that, but the moment the accuser's attorney went out there and suggested tampering, lots of people immediately suggested that there was some massive conspiracy out there to help Kane because they desperately want him to look as guilty as possible because him being guilty fits their agenda. That being said, in most of the cases you're talking about, the evidence is "lost"/falsified/misrepresented in order to further implicate a suspect. The fact that a story about supposed tampering came out right after rumors of Kane's DNA not being found on the alleged victim's genitalia and then the police immediately clarified that there couldn't have been tampering doesn't really fit with that. Point taken.

They didn't. The police released a statement shortly after the initial paper bag press conference stating that the chain of custody of the evidence was, in their words, unassailable. The media and certain social media posters just chose to ignore that because it gets in the way of them condemning Kane no matter the result of the case. If the evidence doesn't fit your narrative, just ignore it!

It's pretty sad that there are actually people out there, including right here, who believe that there's no possibility that he could be innocent. I get that the guy is a massive jackass off the ice who really needs to lay off the booze, but the rush to condemn him and hang him is really inappropriate. Yes, the court of public opinion isn't bound by the Constitution, but for God's sake, the man hasn't even been charged with a crime, much less convicted.

I actually like the pre-Edge Canucks alternate.

The Robopen worked just fine as a shoulder patch on the pre-Edge uniforms precisely because it was just a shoulder patch. In a small enough dose, it can co-exist with the skating penguin perfectly.

The NFL and NHL have it right.

Would having the Winterhawks there hurt them, though?

Until the 7-1 Maracanazo II Germany put up against Brazil last year, I'd never seen a home, World Cup crowd so stunned and saddened by a World Cup game outcome as on that day when Italy opened up the floodgates near stoppage time in that 2nd extratime in that 2006 semifinal. The term is actually Mineirazo.
