This average fan thinks the cardinals management relies too heavily on analytics and a “moneyball” type of approach. They put too much value on sabrmetric-type stats from players who can win lots of games over the course of a long season, but those guys can’t win important games when they really matter. I think the cardinals need to take a long hard look at how they assess talent and value players. I wouldn’t mind seeing a new guy with a fresh perspective take over, but that won’t happen. If/when Mo moves on, the cardinals will promote from within and nothing will change because they’re so far up their own “Cardinal Way” ass.

You must have been a big Mike Matheny fan too. Cripes. I can’t decide if I want them to get their :censored: together and win like 12 in a row or just put me out of my misery and lose 12 straight.

Not much to complain about here. I really love your Maryland look. The only thing I don’t really like is the maroon Rutgers alternate. Unless there’s some historical reference I’m not aware of, I think black would be better than double red.

NL looks like they’re wearing slacks. . Gray pants would have been miles better. Better yet, bring back the individual players’ uniforms.

The Chicago race will definitely get eyeballs out of curiosity. NASCAR is not F1. I used to be the biggest nascar fan in the world, but I’ve fallen off as my favorite drivers as a kid retired and they’ve changed so many rules. I’ll agree that nascar is generally not good on road courses and this course does not look conducive to big heavy “stock” cars. This Chicago street race will be the first race I’ll tune in to this season just to see the spectacle, but I don't expect to see good racing. If we get anything more than a 200 mile parade, I’ll be surprised. Reeks of “Steve Buschemi with a skateboard and backwards hat.”

I wouldn’t say that was out of place at all. Downstate, packers fans are pretty much 1:1 with bears fans in my experience.

That Lions helmet is sharp, but it just doesn’t look like it belongs on an NFL field. Looks like one of those merch helmets a dude would put in his man cave or behind his desk at work.

I like it. Fauxback-y and contemporary. The sublimated details are thoughtful, although they will disappear on TV or from the stands. Coulda been worse. edit: also, pillbox hats would have been awesome, but they probably wouldn’t sell as well.

Yeah I agree with @GFB . The plain blue helmet, paired with the throwback uniforms would be a really sharp look. That would make too much sense and not be #. No cap

I don’t know what I was expecting to get from the Lions but I’m disappointed. The logo’s awkward on the helmet and pairing it with the graphite uniform is an interesting choice. Moral of the story: alternate helmets suck

I actually think black/blue/black with blue socks could look really sharp for Carolina, just not with their current uniforms. They should stick with silver helmets and pants. If they want to rework everything, it would be a great scaffolding to build on.

Darker green, brighter blue, smaller sun. Also another idea that includes the Illinois river as a diagonal stripe. Not sure how I feel about that one. I think the IL river needs to be included but I don’t love the execution. Maybe I need to go back to the drawing board?

Illinois is looking into a adopting a new state flag design and I had a few spare minutes at work yesterday and came up with this: The sun/star has 21 points because Illinois was the 21st state to join the Union. The blue borders on the left, bottom, and right sides represent the Mississippi, Ohio, and Wabash rivers respectively and the upper right corner represents Lake Michigan. The green background is for Illinois’ forests and fields and the gold, not only represents the sun, but also the grain harvested from the fields in the fall. Illinois’ lifeblood is its lands and waters. They support pretty much all industry and commerce in the state. Out-of-staters and the majority of the population in the Chicago area tend to forget anything but Chicago exists in Illinois and I wanted to create a flag that represents the whole state, not just the NE corner. My wife liked the symbolism but told me she thought it was an ugly flag. Any thoughts would be appreciated. love to submit a design if/when the state asks for input from its residents. edit: just realized the flag is pretty similar to @NicDB’s Wisconsin flag. I wasn’t consciously thinking of it when I came up with the IL flag, but it was obviously rolling around in my mind somewhere. Didn’t intend to step on any of those ideas. Illinois and Wisconsin have a lot of similarities.

Revolutionaries is a bit of a mouthful but it’s not bad. It’s too long for uniforms, but Revs is a good shorthand. Generals would have been a layup, though. In fact, before all this came up, I didn’t even know GW was the Colonials. I guess I always assumed they were the Generals.

Slugger Bird is great. I’d love to see a version with the new bird on the sleeve…oh wait, nevermind.

The Texans uniforms get me vote for being very good, red alt helmet and color rush non-withstanding. @Bmac took the words right out of my mouth. That is the correct opinion regarding the Texans. Everyone wishing for something new won’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone

As a rural resident and a deer hunter, I’m going to nitpick your flag. Your antlers are wrong, those are elk antlers. With the correct antlers, it’s an absolute homerun

Giants look like they should, but I prefer them in gray pants. Not crazy about the Jets alt, reminds me of a ND Shamrock Series uniform. The 49ers gold uniform doesn’t look bad here, but it might be a bit much IRL

Illinois needs to flip the stripe colors, put a script back on the helmet, add pants stripes and change the numbers on the jerseys to white on blue and blue on white. Done.

Detroit looks great. The dark blue alt is an interesting choice, but it works. I think white numbers on the black jersey might be better for the Saints. I’d also ditch the gold outline on the white jersey numbers too.

I hope Notre Dame leave UA just so they can have bigger numbers on their football uniforms. Why are the numbers so small on UA’s football uniforms? The UA number font is too skinny too.

Washington Americans has a nice ring to it. I think a turkey would be cool logo/mascot to go along with it. They’re as American as it gets and they’re some mean SOB’s.

The old-timely football guy is cool and I don’t hate the idea of 32’s, but I don’t see how that would ever fly in the same league as the 49ers.

I don’t like the Commanders name, but I highly doubt it’s going anywhere. I’ll always stump for Redwolves or WFT. Going back to the classic uniforms with a white/gold stripe and new, better W on the helmet would be good enough for me at this point

OK State looks great. Only a minor nitpick, because the block numbers are perfectly serviceable, maybe a # font matching the wordmark would be nice. Also, I’ve never really liked Pistol Pete on the helmet. They really only need OSU and the cowboys script IMO. Also, also, I’m OVER matte and satin helmet finishes. I’d kill for a nice high-gloss black helmet, it’s such a sharp look. Still, these uniforms are pretty good. Huge upgrade
