There's probably a place for piping and side panels on football uniforms. Certainly not for most teams though, and I'm not entirely clear on where that place is, but there probably is one.

I thought about it, but honestly, I can't think of one Vegas gold jersey that works.

 

Plus, there's this;

Wow, I'd never seen that before. I'd never seen them wear red anything for that matter. Seems like the Golden Hurricane should wear gold, but you're right that Vegas gold doesn't work for jerseys generally - they would need a deeper and richer shade. I'm so sick of Vegas gold.

Looking at this hurricane symbol;

 

 

 

 

And, obviously, the San Diego L. A. Chargers, I came up with this;

 

How about gold instead of red for the alt? I don't think they really use red as more than a trim IRL.

Of course, the only correct uniform for Warner is this one:

 

With that uniform I feel like he should have an officer's title.

Sorry for the double-post, but this picture is really kind of amazing when you think about it. Out of the four QBs pictured, two are in the Hall of Fame, a third isn't a HOFer but was a Pro Bowler (and played long enough to win a ring as Drew Brees' backup in New Orleans), and the fourth is a Heisman-winner (although he was a career backup as a pro). Quite a collection of talent there.

Is that Mark Brunell to the left of Favre? If so I'm guessing this was in the '94 preseason. Kurt had several tryouts with GB before landing with the Rams. Also: awesome '90s hat he's wearing.

EDIT: Of course it's 1994; they're wearing the "75" patches.

Even though they wouldn't wear it, could you do a yellow-over-white alt for LSU?

I remember how some of my old baseball cards were old looking bastards. Sparky Anderson is 39 in this picture. 

 

 

I think that is mostly the white hair. His face doesn't look that bad, although today someone with that face and brown hair would probably be guessed as older than 39.

That is because I am only 14 years old.

 

Pretty much anything before 2012 is a void in my brain.

This schmuck graduated high school the same year Danny was born. Thanks for reminding me again how elderly I am, Danny.

The legendary Minnesota Viking defensive end Carl Eller wrapped up his career in 1979 for the young Seattle Seahawks.

Yea I do too, though it would have to be reversed you'd figure. Would looke kind of strange with the grizzly facing backwards on the helmet

Well, that would be the left side, and the mirror-image would be on the right.

This right here is why I hate autocorrect.

Somebody should come up with a place to catalog Sports Logos on the Net. I bet they'd be a kajillionaire.

I stand corrected. In retrospect it was a great choice to not have the stadium name on the patch.

I'll bet you it doesn't.  I'll be you a lot that it doesn't.

Really? Because it was first called Enron Field on April 7, 2000, and wasn't renamed till 2002, and that picture of Gooden is from 2000.

Doc Gooden, in his lone season (2000) in which he pitched for the Rays and Astros before collecting his second World Series ring with the Yankees, his third total. (He did not, however, play in the World Series against the Mets.)

Haha, I bet that sleeve patch says "Enron Field" on it.

The one about Jagr that jumped out to me was when they showed a flashback clip of him during a game and there were guys without helmets in the clip.  I went and looked into it, and there was still a no-helmet player when Jagr was a 7 year NHL veteran

My Jagr story: when I was a kid, I had a sports almanac from 1993. Jagr was mentioned in it as a young star who had just helped Lemieux lead the Penguins to back-to-back Stanley Cups.

Also, he has been both the youngest and the oldest player in the NHL, which is also amazing. 

I know a thing or two about Czech longevity - my Bohemia-born great-grandmother lived to 97. Still, Jagr is nuts. In terms of career longevity he is looking like the second coming of Birdie Howe.

Negative. His only season with them was in 2013. He was traded before September when the Phils were 22 games behind the Braves. An extremely forgettable stint.

Oh, wow. For some reason I remember him with Philly but not so much with the Dodgers.

^ a good example for the "wrong team" thread. 

Agreed...although didn't he win a WS with Philly?

From 1997, the only time the "2nd-generation" Vikings (introduced in 1996) met the "Big Flying Elvis" shouldered Patriots. The Patriots would turn to their current look when the two teams next met in 2000.

Notice Adam Vinatieri stumbling after a failed attempt to tackle the ballcarrier. It's downright amazeballs that he's still playing after all this time.

The Minnesota Wild logo is better suited for a football helmet than a hockey jersey

 

Now I really want to see that.

I wouldn't like that in baseball, but I don't have a problem with it in football.

Robin Ventura

So, is anything that doesn't involve Nolan Ryan's fist in his face "wrong" for Ventura?

In all seriousness, he played for a lot of teams. I guess for me White Sox and Mets would both be "right" uniforms for him, but probably nothing else.
