  1. The only weakness of that jersey was the omission of the original skating penguin logo, it would have been a perfect fit on the right shoulder area.
  2. Don't see any chance Houston would try the nickname "Whalers", even if Aeros isn't available. The Whalers had WHA success, but struggled in the NHL, it's not a strong brand. Better for Hartford to use the name down the line.
  3. At least the fading Harris didn't face the Steelers during his brief time in Seattle. Such was not the case in 1989, when Mike Webster played at Pittsburgh as a member of the Chiefs. Webster had retired as a Steeler, and was going to work as an assistant with KC, when the Chiefs had some injuries at the center position, and asked him to come out of retirement.
  4. Eddie Matthews as an Atlanta Brave was also very strange.
  5. Ken Riley is one of those underrated players who deserves HOF consideration, along with Denver LB Randy Gradishar. Riley spent three seasons in that uniform, picking off eight passes in his final season(1983).
  6. while I don't disagree with the sentiment, who would it be? An expansion team? Or an existing team that has a form of yellow/gold in their color template like the Chargers, Chiefs, Steelers, Packers, or Redskins? I cant think of one of them looking good in that. I think they would look good in a yellow jersey. Also, I agree with your Mr. Nascar, Pittsburgh should bring back the old alts. Evil G, I'm going to suggest something which would be unpopular, especially for Steelers fans. I would build an alternate uniform around your avatar, the circa 1960s Steelworker logo, which is underrated to me. Black helmet with that yellow logo, and yellow facemask. Black jersey, featuring three large diamond shapes from the modern logo on each shoulder, rotated. The player number would be where the diamond logos meet. Black jersey with a steel bar shown in the steelworker logo on each pant leg. The steel bar would take up most, but not all, the pant leg. I realize this design and idea would be unpopular, but there you have it. Oops, meant to say Black pants, not Black jersey, when describing the steel bar.
  7. Wow, I never realized Aguirre ever played for the Clippers. Another weird sight must have been Celtics great Bob Cousy playing briefly for the Cincinnati Royals. I believe Cousy was coaching them, and activated himself for some minutes.
  8. That photo of Hendrick always cracks me up, especially when I see him coaching the Rays on TV. His players are too young or weren't born to remember, but Hendrick basically tanked his only season with the Bucs. He wasn't happy about being traded to Pittsburgh, so Hendrick loafed whenever possible, but still collected his paycheck. The term "Jogging" George Hendrick was coined to describe his lack of effort at the plate and in the field. Talk about letting down your teammates! If you or I had pulled that stunt at a new company we would have been fired quickly. The Pirates had bad teams in the mid 80s before the revival later in the decade, but that was no excuse for the unprofessional conduct by Hendrick that year.
