  1. In a way, the Broncos uniforms reminds me of the Jets' overhaul from 2019 - Struggling to compete while trying to figure out what their next steps will be, introduce a new uniform that might hopefully distract from the on-field play (it won't), only for them to revert back to a retro-inspired look 5 years down the road.
  2. I could maybe see the Rams and Dolphins tweaking their looks, especially with the popularity of Miami's throwback uniforms. The Saints are in dire need of an update too.
  3. Hmmmmmmm I don't know Jim... the beveled numbers... the pit triangles... A guy like Patrick Mahomes though, he could pull it off buuut I don't know Jim.
  4. Dale scoffed at the charter prices when they were 3-4 times less than they are now, so I highly doubt we see him jump in at this point unless, as DCarp mentioned, it's a partnership of some sort. SHR really only needs to sell-off one charter IMO and that's the 41. I had a feeling based on Custer's performance in the 41 that Preece would be a nonfactor, but man I didn't expect him to be so far off. Part of that can be attributed to SHR's downward spiral, but even so he's really lagged behind the rest of the team. Berry has shown flashes this year, Briscoe is a proven winner, and even Gragson has ran better than expected and would be higher in points without that big penalty handed-down earlier this season.
  5. This concept makes me believe bone could work... for throwback/fauxback purposes. The reason it failed with the Rams is because they also incorporated their gold and white. Seeing the white stripe against a bone background made the jerseys and pants look dingy and gross. But if a team like Carolina or Jacksonville wanted to make a fauxback with their darker colors and using bone in place of white, I think it could work.
  6. I'll vouch for this. I've never been a die-hard hockey fan, but I've been to 2 CBJ games in my lifetime and despite both being losses, I had a blast each time. Looking to go again before the season's over to take my girlfriend out for her birthday. A ton of my colleagues are season ticket holders as well. You'd think the 'Jackets were annual playoff contenders the way the crowds show up at Nationwide. Not only is it a great venue itself, but there are tons of great restaurants and bars within a short walk.
  7. While Kaulig would've also been my expectation, the team just announced Daniel "The Nutcracker" Dye will be driving their #10 "Pay Driver" "ALL STAR" car in the season-opener at Daytona, so Kaulig is out of the question. Besides, it doesn't really matter if the team they choose to partner with is competitive. If a Cup team has the funding to bring a driver in for a race or two, they'll buy a seat from the mid-pack and backmarkers to attempt the race. The most common example the last few years has been Stewart-Haas buying seats from BJ McLeod and SS Greenlight for Kevin Harvick, Chase Briscoe, and Cole Custer. In fact, that's how SS Greenlight "won" the race at Auto Club in 2022 with Custer behind the wheel. Cole dominated that race in an SHR-prepped car, but because it was racing under the SS Greenlight banner, they got credit for the win. We're also seeing that on a full-season scale with Trackhouse basically buying a seat from Kaulig to run SVG in Xfinity this year. The car is clearly branded like the Trackhouse cars, but it'll run under the Kaulig banner. And knowing Kaulig's performance last year and expectations this year, I'd assume that 97 is being prepped by Trackhouse.
  8. After yesterday's performance against the Windy City YMCA I'm not so sure Detroit has the "inside track" to the #1 seed. Sure the schedule looks easy, but Detroit is maybe three plays away from being 5-5 on the year rather than 8-2.
  9. I've been a sideline reporter once or twice (okay, it was when I was in college radio covering a D3 program...) but honestly, I totally get where they're coming from, minus the bit about coaches smelling their perfume. From my perspective, a sideline reporter's main value is 1) providing injury updates, and 2) initial postgame reaction on the field or on the sideline. So these types of "coach, what do you need to do better in the next quarter/half)" type of interviews don't truly add anything to the broadcast or the viewers' experience of watching the game. Props to them for being able to come up with SOMETHING on the spot because I know I would've rambled in those situations.
  10. I don't know a thing about rugby but I know good design when I see it. Loving this series, top notch work as always.
  11. I immediately thought the same thing when I saw that logo. Not sure who created it though. There's definitely some similarities such as the shading around the eye, having five "feathers" on each wing, and maybe the highlight on the neck to an extent. It might be different enough to get away though.
  12. The Pro Volleyball Federation, a new womens volleyball league starting in January 2024, has unveiled logos for five of their seven inaugural teams. Atlanta Vibe: Columbus Fury: Grand Rapids Rise: Omaha Supernovas: Orlando Valkyries: League Branding: Additional teams will be placed in San Diego (brand unveiling Nov. 9) and Las Vegas (unveiling date TBA), with additional franchises/markets being added in 2025, including Dallas.
  13. My first thought after seeing the new logo and the various effects/applications was that they all look gross.
  14. This isn't bad! I just don't think the name fits in a historical sense. But then again... "tHeRe'S nO lAkEs iN lOs AnGeLeS" either.
