Sport

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.

YAY! They should've been doing this for years. Reasons why I like this move: - builds mutual interest for both cities. Cleveland hockey fans will get to follow their favorite guys to the CBJ and continue to watch them on FSO. Columbus residents are a quick drive away from seeing the prospects in person. But most especially will pull more Clevelanders towards the Blue Jackets. Since coming into the NHL the corners (Cincinnati and Cleveland) haven't been that interested in the Blue Jackets. At the very least, it can't hurt the Blue Jackets efforts to grow their fanbase within their own state. - easier for callups to get to Columbus. There's been a couple cases where an AHL guy was needed that night and they couldn't get him from Springfield to Columbus in time. - Big city Cleveland farming talent for little, non-descript Columbus. Call it an inferiority complex, but I love the idea of "big bad" Cleveland being the little brother to Columbus. It's the exact opposite in baseball. A nice trade-off.

That's a good one. If you asked me if the Ducks were still using those uniforms in 1999 I would've confidently said no.

Marlins might be a better comparison because the Sharks have never worn anything as drastically terrible as what the Jags are in now.

There was a time when I thought those Nike skates were the coolest things on the planet. Especially Fedorov's white skates, but they look really silly now. The Sharks are the Jacksonville Jaguars of the NHL. Knocked it out of the park on their first try and have been downgrading ever since.

I like the idea of Cleveland farming talent for Columbus on several levels. Make it happen!

These are the kinds of banners you'd see for franchises who've won a championship, maybe two, tops. But hey; management has to find someway, anyway, to bring Devils fans to Newark this season. It's the 20th anniversary of their first one. It's not like they said "there's no butts in the seats, Lou. We need Ken Daneyko on the ice stat." They probably had this planned since before the season began.

If you take away the stripes from any jersey it's a blank jersey. The most intricately striped jersey is blank without any stripes. Not sure what you're trying to say there. I'd argue that the detailed logo pairs nicely with simple striping. Too many stripes matched with that logo would be visual overkill. They've worn these since the 30's. There's some historical context to why they're so simple or as you put it "generic". They were actually one of the first to adopt that template and the red sleeves on the aways are hardly generic. That so many other teams have borrowed the look since they created it is not their fault. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It's not like these are a new design adopted by a 1990's Florida expansion team or something. Also, they tried a different number font and it lasted exactly one season.
