JerseyJimmy

y'know, I'm willing to wager inaccurate NASCAR paint schemes count for this, so I might as well point out that in a lot of NASCAR games (at least the '00s EA Sports ones), some of the drivers' sponsors are censored for promoting products that wouldn't fly in an E-rated game (good examples being Dale Jr. and Rusty Wallace's Bud and Miller Lite schemes being reworked to just spell out their own names). the funniest one, though, is probably this one I discovered playing Thunder '04 a bit ago: they had to change Mark Martin's Viagra-sponsored car to Pfizer.

lol you thought something interesting involving the packers was going to happen goddamn NPC team.

oh hey, it's that league with all the team identities/logos that make me irrationally upset. great.

I'm sure this has been mentioned but it's especially weird remembering Nolan Ryan began his career as a Met considering he was a part of the '69 team. also, look at this picture of him, he is a child.

big fan of Vegas' color scheme and that wordmark, but the circled number kind of looks like an afterthought and I think the jersey would be better off without it. also, that is really goddamn weird because in my own fictional baseball league, I had a Calgary expansion team that ended up moving to Vegas too.

this is your sport on legalized betting. any questions?

to be entirely honest, all of them feel like they'd have been overhauled by 2010 aside from Memphis. some teams may go back to their retro look later on (Jacksonville is the big one I see this happening with), but as for the rest, they could all use some touch-ups.

at this point, I'm fully convinced the Coyotes are eventually just going to end up folding. that'll be a fantastic black eye for the NHL to have, since they seem to be hell-bent on accumulating as many as possible.

personally I think we should move this franchise to Montreal.

nah man they gotta lose to Brady again, keep it all balanced that game was so goddamn sweet lmao

well, go Bengals.

haven't busted out this one in a while

something about the way that the raven logo on the sleeve perfectly frames the starter logo is extremely satisfying to me.

road pinstripes are the epitome of drip

wait I think we're ignoring a pretty big elephant in the room here why does Milwaukee have so many Preds fans?

you mean to tell me the Packers and Browns played a primetime game at Lambeau and the officials choked on the Packers' schlong and did one over on the Browns?! no freakin' way dude,

always knew Houston was a Reddit-tier city.

how nice of the NFL to change the rules only after sufficiently screwing the Browns over.

apropos of nothing, I feel like the South Carolina Stingrays should probably be an AHL team by now.

mentioned this before, but I seriously wonder how Salt Lake City would fare as an NHL market. it'd at least have to be better than Phoenix; I get it'd be one of the smallest in the league, but if nothing else, you have the LORE of the 2002 Winter Olympics to play up.

...wait, is the top of the puck teal/silver, or is it just the lighting

repeating my prior hot take that this was the best the Isles ever looked

I don't have one. what, the 2015 Mets winning the NLCS only to immediately prolapse in the WS? the Isles forcing game 7 only to do absolutely nothing in said game 7? Coastal going 12-0 only to get virus'd out of an outright conference title and refball'd out of their undefeated season/first bowl win against Liberty of all schools? I don't have fond memories of these moments because I can only think about how they led to nothing. the only NY teams allowed to win titles are the ones I didn't pick. even the Tiger-Cats, the CFL team I only tangentially support, haven't won a Grey Cup since I was two years old - and this is a league where the average drought between titles is, what, five years? so, really, my only options are Melo-era Syracuse's national title I can only barely remember or Coastal's College World Series championship. we're resorting to college baseball here. it's that bad.

okay. I'll say it. I don't want the Coyotes to move to Houston. I don't want another spoiled sun belt team with a housebroken local/state government that the NHL lets do whatever the hell they want (hi Tampa, how ya doin Tampa). Quebec should be the first option by a long shot, but even without it, I'd say somewhere like SLC deserves an NHL team way more than the Stepford-ass urban-planning-but-only-for-cars hellscape that is Houston.
