That Rays scheme was one big missed opportunity.  One of either the green or blue should have been lighter.  The shade of blue the Lions use would've been a much better fit.

Were they using any blue at all by 2007? I seem to remember them as black and dark green.

Yeah, a fine color scheme, just not for the Giants.

...or for anyone in MLB history, evidently. The current Mariners (navy and dark teal) are the closest we've ever come, aren't they?

Judging by the "G" hat (worn by Toronto Chairman Paul Godfrey), I don't think the color change proposal would have stuck or was the only option:

 

 

The blue/green "TG" was either a later addition or rejected for a black/orange redesign. One has to remember that the Giants' brand had lost much of its cache by the mid-late 1970s, with the team struggling competitively in one of the worst stadiums in Big Four history. The 1976 (when the Toronto move was supposed to happen) team was a hapless bunch, like most Giants teams from the early-1970s to the late-1980s. Changing things up to match their new setting, while a bad idea from a historical POV, might have worked. This is especially the case for the Giants of the time, who would have lost many historical ties with relocation (e.g., rivalry with the Dodgers, being one of the first teams to move out west, etc.). 

 

I can definitely see your point about wanting a new Toronto team to "fit in" with the other teams in the city, especially with the later possibility of throwback gear. I could also imagine the inverse, with nostalgia around the blue/green look and the modern team deciding to opt for the historically-significant black/orange (e.g., like what the White Sox have done with the "Winning Ugly " set). 

 

I even mocked up a potential uniform, with cues from the inaugural Blue Jays:

 

 

I'm not keen on it, for personal, historical, and aesthetic reasons.

I'm not keen on it either, but darned if that isn't a fine color scheme.

As interesting as that Photoshop is, it's still a Photoshop.

I really don't mind this uniform. I actually think the Chargers look better in monochrome with their current uniforms. 

I like the Color Rush version myself. It's just bright enough, and the navy is a little too dark. I'd be totally cool with them going to that royal shade full-time except I feel like it wouldn't provide enough contrast with the powder blue, and I don't want them dropping the powder blue.

Dallas Cowboys at Jacksonville Jaguars, September 10, 2006.  Only time the Cowboys have won blue against the Jags and also the only time Dallas has played in Jacksonville during the regular season.

 

Both teams look sharp here. A revamped full-body jag on the sleeve cap would do wonders for the Jaguars' current uniforms.

I don’t think he has a wrong team, he left a tiny impact on all of them

I'd say the Rockets were his biggest impact. Not necessarily his biggest playing time, but actually having a specific role and doing it well to help the team win.

The Broncos have worn navy against the Saints only twice in the preseason ('98 & '01)...never in the regular season.

August 14, 1998  Preseason Week 2

Have the Saints worn gold numerals on white jerseys against the Nike-fied Broncos any other time? I feel like probably not. I was surprised to see those as late as 1998.

Davidson is wearing black and neon green tonight.

I just read that it has to do with Steph Curry's shoes...I was thinking maybe their designer suffered from red-green colorblindness, given that their colors are red and black.

I wouldn't consider the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans a bright-colored team. The shade of blue is more of a soft pastel, rather than neon, like the Carolina Panthers.

Yeah, I was gonna say something about that myself. I WOULD consider that uniform bright as opposed to dark, but it certainly isn't neon.

The 2015 Browns set met the 2013-17 Jaguars set just once, in 2017.

Aesthetically speaking, there were no survivors.

Makes it seem like a 10 yr old designed them tho

Sometimes, sometimes not. Well-designed neons can look good.

Clyde Drexler

 

Not to mention wrong position - I remember him as a SG or a swingman at the most...not a forward.

The entire Cleveland Cavaliers roster from 2008-2010 played with LeBron and his father, Delonte West.

 

The actual answer is: Moses Malone - Rick and Jon Barry; Bimbo Coles - Milt and Dajuan Wagner; and Ron Artest (Metta World Peace - Tim Hardaway Sr. and Jr. This is the first time it's been for the same franchise, though.

Bahaha, I'd forgotten about that whole thing. Been awhile.

Not that short. It at least includes everyone on the 1990 Seattle Mariners roster.

Right. I was thinking specifically within the NBA though. Smaller rosters, and it seems like not it's not as common there for a player to be the son of a former player.

Thanks to his son getting traded there I found out that Tim Hardaway played with Dirk on the Mavs in 2001

 

He also played a few dozen of games with the Nuggets and Pacers

 

So Dirk has played alongside both father and son? That's gotta put him on a pretty short list, wouldn't you think?

That's the wrong uniform for anyone!

A better question is why does Shelden Williams look like Ken Griffrey Jr. suffering from gigantism?

Because there's a party in his mouth and everyone's invited?

Man, that didn't last long.

I think the biggest difference is that the 1980 set had TV numbers and the set that preceded them didn't.  Also black facemasks.  The older set had grey facemasks.

Okay, that's fair. It's interesting that in that picture they're playing against the team they would beat for the AFC championship the next season.

Ray Lewis in the "Shield Logo" Ravens set.

 

Ken Anderson in the one year this set was used.

 

 

How different was that Bengals set from the one preceding it? Because it looks pretty similar. This could just be because it isn't as drastic a difference as the 1981 set made.

UW doesn't need to make things too complicated. FWIW, I like purple and metallic gold better than purple and yellow.

Gary Payton

 

I think he just saw his Lego self here...either that, or he's upset the uniforms have lost their red trim.
