  1. The Wild drive me nuts. Like the Jacksonville Jaguars they got it right the first time and every decision here after has been a tremendous downgrade. Just on a basic level a uniform's purpose is to identify the team to the people watching the game. If anything the roundel or the script should appear on the road sweaters. It makes 0 sense to use scripts spelling out your team location and nickname on your two home jerseys and then use the standalone logo on the road jerseys. That's backwards, at best. But the roundel and script aren't even necessary when you have a logo that good. It's a fantastic logo. One of my favorites in sports and it should be as big as taste allows.
  2. The Ravens looked best when they used the striped socks home and away
  3. I forgot Shannon Sharpe played for the Ravens. That 2000 Ravens offense was a hodge-podge of guys who made their name elsewere. Sharpe, Trent Dilfer, Priest Holmes, Brandon Stokely.
  4. So on desktop it's fairly similar to the old one, except sleeker, and with upgraded features like the drag and drop picture attaching. That's good. Now that circular avatars are gone (always a bad idea) I really like the member title area next to each post. I don't really use my phone on here and it's weird to me that would be someone's primary device for these boards so not really worried about how any of the changes affect mobile.
  5. I disagree. Another way and place to add some personal flair, helps me know who your favorite teams are so I can properly judge the poster, and I could boast about my various PotD's and Fantasy Football Championships. Where am I supposed to do that now? With the circular avatars we need signatures now more than ever.
  6. Cons: I miss signatures Pros: everyone can see my total reputation.
  7. Yeah I really like the that Rams head logo and think the team should just recolor it in the royal blue and yellow. It's got such a nice visual simplicity to it while also finding a way to incorporate their famous horn. Update the wordmark if you must, but they don't need to draw a whole new logo.
  8. What a stellar looking game that must've been to watch live. I don't have any memory of that one.
  9. The only times these Bengals uniforms met those Ravens uniforms.
  10. That actually looks really good. I miss those DC uniforms every week. The NFL's divisional heavy schedules back then created a lot of odd scheduling quirks. Like the Buccaneers didn't play at Buffalo until 2009. The first 8 times they met were all in Tampa.
  11. I also remember them putting the leaping tiger logo on the sleeve on one of the jerseys.
  12. Wow. I had no idea the Dodgers ever wore these. In all my years of posting here I hadn't seen these come up. Wild.
  13. I'm a little late to the party with my 3 v. 3 overtime take, but I don't watch preseason games and my team hasn't played in a regular season overtime yet. Last night I tuned in for the Ducks-Canucks OT and oh my goodness did I hate it. Reminded me of watching Arena Football. It reminded me of playing NHL Hitz. And at no point in the hundreds of hours I spent playing NHL Hitz in 2002/2003 did I ever think the NHL should adopt the arcade style 3 on 3 format in real life. I don't suspect this will be a short lived experiment because this is Bettman's NHL. He fully commits to bad ideas and sticks with them forever. I'm just going to have to get used to it.
  14. Thank you. Looks like a children's rec league game.
  15. I need to update my list anyways so I'll go through this exercise again. Columbus Blue Jackets - I was a 12 year old hockey playing, hockey fanatic living in Columbus, Ohio without a true favorite team when the Blue Jackets came along in 2000. It felt like a gift intended just for me specifically. I was in attendance for their first home game and even though they lost I've been hooked since October 7, 2000. Cincinnati Reds - local team. Can't remember a time when I wasn't a Reds fan. Watched all 162 games in 2010. 1996-2009 sucked. Cincinnati Bengals - local team and my father's employer when I was a small child. I grew up in the 90s and thought more than 3 wins was a good season. There is no reason I should've stuck with this team. I've never seen them win a playoff game. They are the dumbest team I like. I hate them. I can't wait until they win the Super Bowl so I can stop watching the NFL. Ohio Bobcats - alma mater. 2015 Partying National Champs! Bled green since 06. Ohio State football/hockey - parents alma mater, grew up in Columbus so there was no escaping Buckeye football. My dad used to take me to OSU hockey games all the time when I was a kid. I cried when they lost to Boston College in the 1998 Frozen Four. Seattle Mariners - new as of moving here last year. I gravitated towards the M's because teal and navy kick ass, Safeco field kicks ass, Ken Griffey Jr, and because being in the AL I don't feel like I'm cheating on the Reds. But biggest of all perhaps was because they're the step child of Seattle sports right now and I'm attracted to losers! Summer 2014 everyone was so up their butts about the Seahawks that I instantly took up Mariners fanhood. Also at the time I was new to the city and didn't have many friends here so going to Mariners games while they were in the wildcard hunt was my get out of the house activity. It sucks that they suck because I feel like people here have forgotten how fun it is when the local ball club is good. More fun than when the football team is good IMO. Seattle Sounders - I won a poster designing contest in July and got free tickets and field passes and my poster printed in a pretty sweet frame. They won the game, I bought a jersey, and have been casually following ever since.
  16. Glendale is going to look like Montreal compared to Vegas.
  17. "I can assure you I'm not tone deaf" - a very tone deaf person
  18. 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.
  19. Chelios looked so silly in a Thrashers uniform. Like when a dad tries to dress like his teenage son to seem cool.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
