The cap ruins what’s otherwise my favorite City uniform besides Miami. 

Yeah this is the least interested I’ve been in the Finals in a loooooong time. At least LeBron losing made the salty Heat fan in me happy. If the Warriors win, great Boston and all that, but I’m like 5% happy for them and 95% glad Boston lost which doesn’t slap the same.

Why do you say that?

Social media reaction overwhelmingly negative, the content the crowd at the Athletic wants is more off the beaten path of traditional stick-to-sports journalism. I personally liked the freedom it awarded its writers both on and off the platform, it helped it feel like it’s own thing in sports journalism that wasn’t afraid of sticking out and showing personality. 
 

Now I feel the NYT wants to strip them of that freedom and run them into a traditional online newspaper which is not at all where the company works best. Wouldn’t surprise me if some of their better writers leave because of this either. 

well the Athletic just shot themselves in the foot big time

Why even keep anything about your identity as a University if you’re opening this can of worms.  Like there’s still a colonial in the name goddammit. 

Who would’ve thought 1-4 years ago that all the early prognosticators of Andrew Wiggins having a limitless ceiling would end up being right. 

Part two!

woof on that lakers one

Statement leaks!

wonder if this means multiple throwback games or the beginning of mix-n-match

It’s not my favorite look of their history, but it fits the name well and stands out brilliantly in the world of G5 stock uniforms. 
 

Plus, I give them mad props on sticking with the same look since 2015, which is a lifetime in college football uniform years. Would not mind at all if they’re set for life with these. 

Yeah no sword is very disappointing, and the 3 colors work better with the C, something about the gold touching wine looks off. 
 

But that new Cavsketball wordmark slaps

HELL YES

The mosaic in question. Definitely an outside the box choice to represent the state. 

I actually love these. We’ve had better ones in the past sure but being the only state with a naked guy on the plates is hilarious. 

I am no fan of the Durant Warriors move and have no inclination to root for the current Warriors, but the notion that KD made them a juggernaut incapable of being beat is false. 
 

It seems that way because the East was HORRENDOUSLY weak during ‘17 and ‘18. The 2017 Spurs were a fantastic team, and were up over 20 on the Warriors in G1 before Zaza hurt Kawhi. 
 

And if the CP3-less 2018 Rockets have an average shooting night instead of their 0-27 G7 performance the Dubs miss the Finals. 

Not much to say for Miami after that loss. Had the look you’d want at the end, just didn’t go. 

Hat and number font are the things keeping me from really loving this, but as it stands its solid. 
 

I’ve had the TATC as my all time favorite Rockies jersey, so I’m happy something in that vein is back. 

Miami wasn’t gonna win without a 100% Jimmy Butler, but it’d be nice if anyone else stepped up even a little. 
 

Especially Bam Adebayo, who was the most dominant center in the East two playoffs ago and now is rendered useless by Robert Williams. Don’t get me wrong, Time Lord is nice, but c’mon man. 

It’s just never gonna happen for CP3 either. Shame his worst moments came at the worst times.

The Sixers were irrevocably broken by trusting The Process, weren't they lmao

Absolutely. Did all that losing just to get beat by a team that hasn’t had a top 10 pick since 2008. 

The Sixers traded away Ben Simmons for a guy who took two shots in the second half of an elimination game. 
 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

As a very intermittent hockey watcher who typically only watches highlights on SportsCenter, I have been unable to tell who is who throughout the entire Tampa Bay/Toronto series. 

Yeah that is awful. Only slightly better than the “Z” logo and way worse than the Knagaroo-A, Akron script and vintage A. 
 

The Zips’ branding has kinda been a mess for years now and this does nothing to remedy it.
