  1. Some fantastic throwbacks on deck for Darlington! I'm definitely ordering a diecast of the #9 car.
  2. I've been really impressed with the unique colors and rotation of the 45 team's sponsors this year. The Monster, Sirius, and Moneylion cars all look spectacular.
  3. This season is really flying by! What are everyone's favorite paint schemes so far? I'll go first.
  4. Simple and clean uniforms, but yikes at not including any team name or city name on them. Seeing these photos without context, I have little to no idea what teams are playing. The logos are good, but for a league that is so far from being in the cultural zeitgeist, casual fans need to have something to identify the teams with. Replacing the USFL logo on the center front chest with the city or team name would be huge.
  5. The Eugene Emeralds have unveiled an alternate identity for the upcoming season, paying homage to a rather unique local bit of history. The TLDR is in the 70’s the Coast Guard blew up a dead whale on a beach near Eugene and it went…poorly.
  6. I'm getting major 2010s NFL flashbacks and I'm not happy about it.
  7. I think the Simpsons theme makes sense for Springfield! As a Deadhead, I have to mention one of the greatest (IMO) shows they ever played was in nearby Veneta as a benefit for the Springfield Creamery, that still exists today. The largest hospital group in Lane County (really anywhere other than PDX and Salem) is PeaceHealth and they have their primary campus in Springfield. I think they are still one of the largest employers in the county. Hop Valley is a large nationally-owned and distributed brewery that started in Springfield. I loved the Track Town theme! That's definitely what Eugene is most well-known for. I'd throw out a nod to the original settlers of the Willamette Valley, the Kalapuya, either on a Eugene kit or one of the other nearby town kits. The two rivers played a big part in both the ancient and current Eugene. The city has also garnered a reputation for the 60's hippie movement that never really went out of fashion here, with Ken Kesey growing up in town. Eugene is also very into the craft beer scene, and has many large nationally distributed breweries (Ninkasi and Oakshire are the two biggest, Oakshire sponsors the minor league soccer club Lane United FC). For Cottage Grove, I think there's a lot to work with. They are very proud of their history of covered bridges and movie filming locations (Buster Keaton's The General, Animal House parade scene, Stand By Me railroad tracks). It's a small town but has a cute historic downtown stretch to walk. There are no notable companies that come to mind for the sake of kit sponsor.
  8. As an Oregonian, I love this project so much. I never even thought you could combine city history and iconography with uniforms for such hyper-specific locales.
  9. Sharp batch of new uniforms and designs there. Richmond has done amazing utilizing their history and design for a clean look.
  10. By far one of the coolest stadiums I've been to. The history of it all and the views of the mountains are beautiful.
  11. Plenty of jokes have been made, but wow they genuinely 'rebranded' to the placeholder jerseys an expansion team wears in their first season.
  12. This photo of the Harvick #4 Busch really shows what sponsors can now do with the larger real estate on the sides of the cars.
  13. Silly name of course, but I'm ok with the branding. Feels weird for a team that was recently independent to now be the AAA club AND getting a rebrand but could look much worse.
  14. The long-discussed Beloit rebrand will be unveiled on Monday. I'm assuming Sky Carp based on colors. https://twitter.com/MiLBPromos/status/1459613175209365505?s=20
  15. That is far too many random chunks of partial logos. One is literally just a maple leaf and another is just a generic hashtag... However, I will say that the drastic simplification of the logo is slightly better than what they have been using. I mean this guy looks like he was the clean-up batter behind the 2003 Blue Jays juiced logo.
  16. This diamond swoosh looks slightly similar to the one used on Nike's College Football Playoff uniforms. The NBA one seems to be more colorful prism-based, at least at the one photo's angle.
  17. Weird, good find. I assume the blue version is new to represent their affiliation with the Royals, whereas they had been affiliated with red teams Cardinals and Astros for the last 15+ years.
  18. Every year I look forward to the Army-Navy uniforms. It's nice to see real military tributes and not just 'we made our logo into a flag logo'. The thought and research that goes into these mean something other than just generic 'patriotism' and 'cool jerseys'. Another well done round of design on both sides.
  19. Call me a homer but I love the new one-off uniforms. The team and Nike have really learned what works well for one-offs and improved over the years. This uniform has a lot of details that make it feel special, like the starry galaxy pattern on the helmet to the pattern throughout and the back helmet bumper.
  20. Mining City seems odd and not exactly rolling off the tongue. Butte Blasters would have been...amazing. Butte/Mining City Powder Monkeys sounds like an 1800's slur.
  21. I think the powder blues work well, but only as an alternate. The helmets should definitely be their primary lids though. I just don't like the powder blue mixing with the navy, red, and grey they have.
  22. Presenting the Copa identities for 2020! 22 new teams participating makes 92 overall participants. Read more about the names and looks here.
  23. Shoutout to Skye Dillon of Skye Design Studios, constantly putting out quality stuff.
  24. Old tweet, but the MILB's Copa de la Diversion uniforms will roll out tomorrow. I assume most teams will unveil tomorrow but some may trickle in later once they receive actual inventory of uniforms and caps.
