A lot of these NFL pics are getting major bonus points for having actual AstroTurf in them too. That brings back memories, when was the last official NFL game played on it?

I'm almost positive it was Colts Broncos in 2004 at RCA

MLB definitely still allows 0 and 00.

Forgot about them. My bad

Tejada did for one game

I like that the NBA & NCAA Basketball allows players to wear number 0 (single zero). I wouldn't mind seeing that spread to the other major sports leagues (if it hasn't already done so). Double zero (00) could be used for mascot jerseys.

pretty sure 00 use to be allowed in the NFL

Jim Otto

And then this happened the next year

That's why this is the unpopular opinion thread.. your comments aside, I agree that the last 49ers look was light years better than the new fauxbacks.. older doesn't necessarily equal better.. I thought the dolphins last set used the drop shadow pretty well, although I like their new look as well.. one of the best uses I've seen was on North Greenville University's grey football jerseys.. they had white numbers with scarlet outline and scarlet drop shadow, which REALLY popped... this is coming from a guy who was in the pressbox, which is the worst place to try to see numbers.. either way, I'm a huge fan of the drop shadow, even when not executed perfectly

I love the Laker drop shadow

This throwback doesn't get near the love that it deserves.

I agree with this.

I think those look good in a vacuum, but I generally dislike throwbacks that look nothing like the current set. I think at least some of the hate those get is because people don't think the Jets should look like that.

Edit: The Eagles' blue and yellow jerseys are another example. I normally like bright colors like that, but it doesn't look like the Eagles to me.

First thing I thought of

Stirrups are a bad look in baseball. They're not as horrible as the pajama pants, but the solid socks are the best by far.

This. So much this.

However I would way rather see long pants than stirrups

So you'd rather players look like complete tools instead of a little silly?

I assume you do not wear pants? I actually like stirrups, but only the low cut kind.

I can't find a picture, but the Lighting played the North Stars in the first and last year of the respective teams

Mark Rypien

Oh, that's a good'n.

How about Mark Rypien...Philadelphia Eagle?

I guess this is wrong too

Here's something I almost considered: the 2011 Buffalo Bills (First year of the new uniforms, but also the only year Reebok produced them)

That made me think of the 1996 Eagles. First year with new uniforms, last year with Russell

While We're talking about the Sens, and I don't watch much NHL anymore, but...

this uniform is gorgeous.

Absolutely love it.

The problem is no team can pull chrome off right.

The Bucs got close, if they went for a look similar to the Rutgers one I posted, more rustic and weathered, then I think their idea would have worked. The problem with their identity is they overdesigned it, like a Volkswagen, it's too clean and doesn't have enough soul.

The Bucs unis are too CLEAN?

Lolololololololololololololololololololololololol

Clean ≠ Good

Pirates are stereotypically dirty, the Bucs uniforms however, are not. The numbers remind people of an alarm clock, digital clocks weren't invented until 200 years after the existance of pirates.

I mean you're not wrong, but there is no way anyone actually interpreted my post as meaning those pirates

Just looking for a few laughs

This had to only happen once

I think stripe consistency is a downright stupid thing to complain about

The CCSLC has complained about way more stupid stuff than that.

I get it's the right place to do it, but there's things people hate on here that I didn't even know existed until it was pointed out. I guess I don't have a keen eye

Huston Street

the way the toronto raptors have embraced the poor grammar of their "We The North" slogan is embarrassing and exactly why i can't stand to watch basketball.

Our Constitution starts the same way

I find it cool when linebackers (College & NFL) wear numbers less than the usual 50-59 & 90-99... meaning 40-49

Dan Connor is my favorite example with that badass neck pad

Unpopular opinion: I don't have a problem with asymmetrical designs whatsoever, and I believe more teams should give it a shot. Unfortunately, I believe Charlotte executed it poorly.

I like the stripe on these

I wouldn't mind seeing a red version of Maryland's helmets.

Once upon a time

Brady Quinn, Miami Dolphins

Which of these is right?

So wrong

i think the nfl should only have 14 teams. Sort of like the 60s.

Another unpopular opinion is my love for the Vikings with a white face mask.

What I find more fascinating is the huge gap between each letter of 'Epps.'

That's why I originally posted this on the other page... I actually liked the way his name was spaced out on the back.

I remember watching a replay of 'The Drive' and I remember seeing a player for the Broncos with 3 letters and I remember how spaced out it was.

Edit: After research, the player's name is Clarence Kay.
