  1. Played "spot the fake" at the Jay's game on Saturday. Here's what I saw:

    More than half the people were wearing fake jerseys, specifically those with "Reyes", "Bautista" and "Dickey" on the back for the Jays

    Saw 5 fake Red Sox jerseys (one had the black lettering instead of navy)

    Saw 4 legits the whole day, all of which were throwbacks (not including my own Kelly Gruber jersey, which I got for 8 bucks at Goodwill last year).

    Did you win a Cito Gaston bobblehead?

    I won 25 bucks.

  3. Right... I think Ray Allen is a player who has multiple right uniforms.

    Same here, I always think of Ray Allen as a Buck or Sonic, then maybe a Celtic, because he did good with all those teams. At the moment he looks wrong in a Heat jersey, but one day that might look right.

    Ray Allen not in green is his wrong uniform in my opinion. He wore green for the first 3 teams he played for.

  4. I think I've figured out a realignment for the NHL that makes some sense, given the screwy geography and potential relocation of the Coyotes and eventual poorly thought out expansion.

    Conference 1 - Pacific/Smythe/Gretzky conference

    Vancouver

    Edmonton

    Calgary

    Colorado

    San Jose

    Los Angeles

    Anaheim

    Phoenix

    Eventually Seattle by relocation or expansion

    Conference 2 - Great Lakes/Norris/Howe Conference

    Winnipeg

    Minnesota

    Chicago

    Detroit

    Toronto

    Buffalo

    Ottawa

    Eventually Markham by relocation or expansion

    Conference 3 Northeast/Adams/Orr Conference

    Montreal

    Boston

    NY Rangers

    NY Islanders

    New Jersey

    Philadelphia

    Pittsburgh

    Eventually Quebec City by relocation or expansion

    Conference 4 - Southern/Patrick/Hull Conference

    Columbus

    Washington

    St. Louis

    Carolina

    Nashville

    Dallas

    Tampa Bay

    Florida

    Once the relocation/expansion is done, each conference could be split into two divisions

    The Pacific into North and South divisions

    Great Lakes into East and West

    Northeast into North and South

    Southern into East and West

    The purpose of the divisions would be for seeding and keeping travel costs down with an unbalanced schedule.

    Top team in each division would get an automatic playoff berth, with the top two remaining teams in each conference getting the remaining playoff berths.

    You sadly need a 34th team. 33 teams equals an odd number, which would make the playoffs almost impossible.

  5. Nevermind my previous post, I got that now. Thanks for the insight!

    I have one more question though, and it's probably dumb, but I'm new haha

    I've noticed people with championship banners of their favorite teams as a signature...how do I get that? That looks so awesome! Thanks!

    I was a follower of the site before i joined, and people will sometimes do banners of creative things for signatures, like the scarf I have, in the concepts section. You have to ask for a request from the person who made the banner of scarf in order to get it for your signature. Not sure if you could get a champ banner though, because i believe requests are finished for that.

  6. Fake. The black Beebok logo that is no longer in use is a dead giveaway.

    :therock:

    Do you mean the Reebok logo on the lower part of the sleeve? Because A.) It's blue B.) All replicas come with the Reebok logo stitched on there, and the fact that it uses the old logo could simply mean that it's from a few years ago. Not exactly sure how that's a "dead giveaway", but sure.

    It looks black to me..... but it could be navy.

    The Oilers should have kept this look (maybe lighten the blue so the navy didn't look black on TV):

    YES. i understand why they went away from this look, but i still like it ten time better than their current getup

    You guys are in the majority. The navy and copper make Edmonton's "throwbacks" look dated, boring and meek.

    What if the Oilers did a combination of the two? Hardcore Oilers fans like the current jerseys because they are similar to the 80's but the 90's jersey change was more clean. Could the solution be 80's colors on a 90's jersey (and maybe keep the "Rigger" shoulder patch retired)?

    That looks really good, but Oiler fans wouldn't like it. Most miss the copper and how it looked on the jerseys. If this were copper, I'd buy it.
