Glendale is going to look like Montreal compared to Vegas.

"I can assure you I'm not tone deaf" - a very tone deaf person

yeah that photo might be the best example of the intent of this thread. A once great athlete selling out or hanging on too long for one reason or another and ends up paying for it by having to wear a dignity robbing costume.

Chelios looked so silly in a Thrashers uniform. Like when a dad tries to dress like his teenage son to seem cool.

Man I loved when the NBA did the all-star game "baseball" style Theyd never go back to it because it's another chance to sell another jersey, but I thought it looked cool.

That season this lunatic played for the Bengals

The only time this matchup ever happened. Preseason 2003. That's the Lions in the first season of the first version of their "throw black at it" uniforms and the last season for the Bengals in those uniforms.

I recognized it right away, but a hobby of mine is photoshopping players into different uniforms and concept uniforms so I know what to look for. When you're searching for good photos to shop you learn to look for little shortcuts and similarities between uniforms to make the work easier, which in turn makes it look more realistic. The shoulder loops gave it away, but making stripes look realistic where there are none in the origin photo is one of the most challenging things to nail, I've found.

No, depends on what kind of shorts, and no. There's no rule for most courses that say you can't wear shorts, it's just that the pros choose not to wear them The PGA has a dress code that mandates pants so the pros don't choose to wear pants. Your average schlub can wear whatever they want when they play. Nobody's stopping anyone from wearing shorts on the course. I see it more frequently than I see pants in fact. With colors and patterned pants coming back into fashion and new golf shoes that actually look like athletic footwear I'd say golf looks better now than it did 20 or 10 years ago.

http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/104001-your-favorite-stats/#entry2459112 I should've given it an Admiralian thread title. Then it would've stuck around more.

It's actually just the first time that the home teams have gone 15 for 15, which is slightly less amazing when you realize that baseball has only had 30 teams since 1998. Still would have figured it wouldn't taken this long for that quirk to happen.

The Reds are currently as I type this playing in their current road uniforms (2007-present) against the Diamondbacks in throwback vests.

http://ktar.com/22/1850612/New-downtown-Phoenix-arena-could-bring-end-to-Coyotes-bumpy-road The last few paragraphs are the sort of pipe dreams Phoenix was built on. - Hey let's build an arena with a movable field and a retractable roof so an arena football team can play outdoor games on real grass. - what about the existing arena? - An arena is really just a big room with a bunch of chairs in it. Let's take those out and make it an urban mall with an urban park where people can hang out. Phoenix is a silly place.

In theory, but that hasn't been a rousing success everywhere else they've tried to split the distance between a market and it's satellite city. Richfield Coliseum comes to mind. I'm a big proponent of centrally located sports venues. They allow the game to be the middle part of a full night out. Happy hour/dinner before the game, the game, and then after hours at the bars after the home team wins. If people from Tacoma want to see a Seattle Pilots hockey game they can drive up here.

Putting the arena in Tukwila is a good way to guarantee that you aren't making it as accessible as possible for the maximum number of people within the market. Let's say I live in the space needle - Tukwila is a 25 minute drive without traffic, double that with public transportation. If I hop on the train after working downtown that's still ~20 minutes at best versus the quick and accessible jaunt the stadiums are from the downtown core. The eastsiders with money (your season ticket base) have relatively easy access to Sodo as well. Ballard, Fremont, the north are even farther away from Tukwila. I'm the biggest hockey fan in Seattle and I can't see myself being excited about hauling myself out to Tukwila for a game. I'll be very upset if that bid ends up winning because it's not setting the market up for success and is the same mistake they've made in Glendale and Sunrise. Seattle is better off waiting to move the Coyotes to the Sodo arena. and DG's right. Most Seattle residents would probably take the NBA over the NHL. I think they should tell the NBA to kick rocks, but I'm an NHL fan first and foremost.

I prefer the M to the TC for a few reasons. One: they're the Minnesota Twins, not the Twin Cities Twins. Two: the red C doesn't have an outline and gets lost on the blue background. The Indians road hats have the same problem Three: The M matched the jersey script. I felt like it was a more cohesive uniform. Four: for some reason I love the little underline under the M. It adds that extra punch and is further continuation of the jersey script. It doesn't have to be one or the other. I thought their uniforms were at their best when the TC was the sleeve patch on the home shirts. It works better on a white background anyways.

The Red Wings won the Western Conference 6 times in 20 years. There was no reason for them to move. Meanwhile the Blue Jackets had to move east for the health of the franchise and also we're the eastern most team. It should've been us all along.

Since moving here I've taken a liking to the Mariners because they seem to be Seattle's ignored sports entity and I'm attracted to losers and projects. Plus Safeco Field kicks ass. I'd be a bigger fan if I had cable and could watch them every night though. MLB.tv has them blacked out in this market so the only games I've seen this year have been live or in a bar. If Seattle gets an NHL team they'll be my #2. I'll buy the jersey, go to the games. They'll never replace my team, but I see nothing wrong with pulling for the local team if you're a transplant and your team isn't a rival. My sister lives in Pittsburgh and she would never pull for the home teams there.

Coyotes owner reacts: http://video.coyotes.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=829083 oh man. This is something else. "How do we negotiate our way out of being shot in the head by the city" "what happened here tonight is possibly the most shameful exhibition of government I have ever witnessed" "the citizens of Glendale should be very concerned of the government leading them..." I agree with you there, but I suspect for different reasons. strap in, fellas. This is going to get really good.

Baron Davis is currently a cast member on this yahoo.com show called Sin City Saints about an "NBA" basketball team in Las Vegas. I haven't seen the show, but from watching Community on yahoo I have seen 45,000 commercials for it. Somehow they pulled Malin Ackerman.

Even if baseball wasn't his best sport I still don't have a hard time picturing him as a Red. He had like 3 different Reds Starting Lineup figures! This is his wrong baseball uniform:

Clearly Spano is at a maniacal level of thinking he's above the law and maybe white collar, minimum security prison isn't really that bad.

There's the real reason they dropped hem stripes and three layer twill numbers - couldn't afford em!

The Arizona Coyotes' plane was spotted at Boeing field in Seattle this week. That probably doesn't mean much. Probably just some routine maintenance or something like that OR IT MEANS THE TEAM IS HERE FOR A MEETING ABOUT MOVING TO SEATTLE.

I wish they could've found a way to stay in that area, but they had literal decades to figure it out. I know they went through the thing with Spano and Wang was a wang and Long Island's politics are a maze of red tape, but still they should've been able to make it happen. The Barclays Center is not a suitable hockey venue.
