    I think the first one on the left is actually the worst. I don't think the horizontal sunrise stripes work on a traditional button down jersey. 

    Yeah I agree but I’d still take that over what they went with. I would rank them 3-1-2. The side panels look too BP-like to me. 

  2. As a boxing fan, do be scared of DAZN. They are awful. Admittedly their biggest issue is the broadcast team so that shouldn’t directly carry over to hockey, but until proven otherwise assume DAZN is garbage. The big fight feeling is nonexistent on DAZN productions. Not a hockey fan or Canadian so not sure what is in place now, but if I was, I wouldn’t be pulling for DAZN to takeover.

    Absolutely no reason or justification for the Vegas A's to change their name. 

     

    90% of this is just the principal of the thing, it's a legacy franchise with tons of history and a freaking fantastic color scheme. 

     

    10% for consideration is you also have the Aces in town, and Raiders, so the "A" sound just kind of fits. 

    Dave Kaval has said the name won’t change, though you can’t believe anything he says. 
     

    My guess/hope is they go Kelly green full time, put Las Vegas on the road greys and that’s it. Everything else is perfect as is.

    Two things:

    1. The quality of the Hawkins basketball uniforms  and warmups in stranger things season 4 is surprisingly good both in terms of the uniform design and construction (tackle twill numbers/logos). They also appear to be era-appropriate material as well.

    Not a great picture but it was the best I could find. 
    2. Lucas wears #8, which I found distracting and super annoying because that number would not be available to a high school basketball player. I told my wife and she shrugged and rolled her eyes. I guess it’s a Kobe tribute thing, but still, it made my uni-geek rash itch.


    re 2- especially because both 24 and 33 (Kobe’s HS #) are both legal numbers

    This reminds me that Young Rock recently had an episode featuring Dwayne Johnson's time with the Calgary Stampeders in 1995. I think they did a pretty good job with the mid-90s gear, including hats, hoodies, jackets, the mock turtleneck undershirts with the team name embroidered on the collar, and even the Coca-Cola ad on the practice uniforms:

    Shoulder pads are way too small

    Count me in the Broncos-should-wear-Orange-first-regardless-of-the-jersey-template crowd, though adapting the Color Rush jerseys with complimentary White pants (while relegating the orange pants to alternate status, if at all) should be looked into further.


    adopt the color rush look full time, with orange jersey-white pants and white jersey-white pants as the primary home and away uniforms. Orange pants as alternates for both and navy jersey-navy pants as a home alternate for one night game per year

    They planned on it originally, but the stability of the land (the stadium is right next to a river, hence the RiverCats name) came into question and nixed those plans. Access is pretty poor (everything is here, really), too. It’s also technically in an entirely different city (South Sacramento, CA), and that’s caused more problems for that site than they had originally foreseen. 
     

    The feasibility of fully expanding that entire entire area has been done to death already and the answer for pretty much the last century is a pretty resounding no. One of the reasons it’s sat empty for no joke the last 100 years is because it was used as a defacto toxic waste dump site going WAY back. 

     

    What about the old arena site? The foundation is already in place!

    Carolina's first time in white-navy-white, though I'm not certain that it really works...

     

     

    Not their best look but not bad. In general,  colored numbers don’t look good with white pants

    Iowa State will be in black and white tomorrow against OU. This time the field will match the team

     

    Why does Iowa St go black and white when their regular colors look good with black?
