    Why does everyone who’s made/designed major sport uniforms, feel the need to have toilet bowl collars? Like seriously, who signs off on those, saying they look good?? And why is it impossible for them to complete the circle on their uniform style? Just an obnoxious, weird, little, thing…

    I'm getting major 2010s NFL flashbacks and I'm not happy about it.

    Seeing you're from Eugene, is there anything you would like to see for Lane County's three remaining teams? I have a Simpsons theme in mind for Springfield, but I'm wondering if you have any [non track-related] ideas for Eugene and for Cottage Grove. Any ideas would be very appreciated! :)

     

     

    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.

    they look ridiculous but i’d be lying if i said i didnt want to see them wear these more. they’re just so funny to look at. 

     

    Plenty of jokes have been made, but wow they genuinely 'rebranded' to the placeholder jerseys an expansion team wears in their first season.

    The Winnipeg Goldeyes of the American Association have announced that they and their fans will be moving "Forward Together" in 2022. The first step on that journey is the introduction of a sleek new look to accompany the team's name of 28 seasons.

    Winnipeg Goldeyes: Forward Together

    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. spacer.pngspacer.png

    I mean this guy looks like he was the clean-up batter behind the 2003 Blue Jays juiced logo.

    Swingman diamond Nike logo. A very well finished piece, just like we saw on 20-21 Earned swingmans.

     

     

    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. spacer.png

    It seems the Quad Cities River Bandits have an identity crisis.

     

    The left is still being used as their primary logo and on their website, but the right is being used as an alternate colors logo and is being used on social media

    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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    The new Butte, Montana-based team in the summer collegiate Expedition League has settled upon an identity: the Mining City Tommyknockers.

    9uCPng3l.jpg

    Tommyknockers are gnome-like creatures that originated in the folklore of Cornwall, England. Cornish miners claimed that tommyknockers were humanoid creatures - not unlike leprechauns or brownies - who lived deep beneath the earth. Dressed in clothing that mimicked that of the garb sported by human miners, these imps were thought to manifest their existence in a couple of different ways. First, miners claimed that mischievous tommyknockers were responsible for stealing any tools, personal items, or food that might go missing in the mines. More importantly, the creatures were said to knock and hammer on the walls of mines to signal that a shaft or tunnel was about to cave in. If miners hearing the sound - actually the creaking of timbers and shifting of earth - escaped such a collapse, the tommyknockers were said to be well-meaning. However, if a particular mine saw numerous collapses that resulted in death or injury, the tommyknockers therein were thought to be in a malevolent mood, usually brought about by the presence of miners who doubted in their power or refused to believe in them at all.

     

    Garnering 72% of the votes cast, Tommyknockers bested BlastersPowder MonkeysProspectors, and Ridge in the final round of the ballclub's "Name the Team" campaign. 

    The logo was designed by Jason Stemm of Stemm Creative.           

    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.

    I discovered this rebrand while browsing sports logos.  It was done a couple of years ago.  This cat looks badass, almost like a robot.  I wish the XFL's Wildcats had a logo like this.

  11. I realize it's a bit late, but let's appreciate some teams that will be leaving us next season. There aren't nearly as many teams relocating this off-season as last. 

     

    The AA (Angels) Mobile Bay Bears are relocating to Huntsville, Alabama to become the Rocket City Trash Pandas. They had been in Mobile since moving from North Carolina in 1997. 

    spacer.pngspacer.png

    The New Orleans Baby Cakes (AAA Marlins) will be moving to Wichita, Kansas to play as the yet to be named Wichita ________. They had been in New Orleans since they moved from Denver in 1993 (as the Zephyrs).
