I guess this applies now, unfortunately.
That's a real doozy, because it's Kyle Arrington's body with Revis' face. That's a bad 'shop.
He always wore a revo with the pats

Don't get me wrong, these aren't really awful... but they are SO generic. They have very few stripes on their uniforms and taking away the stripes makes it look like a standard red sweater. I have said multiple times that the Red Wings logo is one of the best logos in sports, but it's so well-detailed and something so well-detailed like their logo being paired with those generic uniforms seems to me, out of place. I wouldn't have minded if they made a slight change to the number font or at least added an extra stripe, but these just aren't doing it for me.
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.

On the other hand, here he is as a Seattle Seahawk. Funny that he started his career there....
Here he is as a Texan

Uggla loves the NL East
He's approaching Eric Hinske levels of division love.
Todd Zeile is the king of the east unless Uggla goes the distance

I'm happy with what the browns introduced today

kinda looks like the last jaguars setI wouldn't classify what the Kings wear as "Bettman piping". This is Bettman Piping

I know this will make people on here think I am an absolute jerk, but I do not have any problem with knock-off merchandise. I agree with those that say most of them look terrible, but I can fully understand why people do not want to pay the ridiculous prices the official manufacturers are charging.
I'm with you 100 percent. I have no idea why there's such a stink about it on here.

I remember him pitching for the Phillies. The best part of it was hearing Harry Kalas say his name.
It was also breathtaking when he said Vicente Padilla

funny, the same exact uni matchup happened again when they threw back to itWhile looking for that I did find this from the lone meeting between the creamsicles and Panthers.

did the jets play the bucs before they switched to green helmets? thats rare
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqJrNsnB52E Start at 13:55 for the footage.
Jets switched to green helmets for the 78 season. This led me to start thinking about the 77 Jets vs Seahawks. That would be a great post for the rare match ups. Time to start digging through the vault to find a pic.
And 3/4s of the AFC East (!), which is why, even though it looks nice, I'm still not too thrilled over the Bills swapping red for white. Throw in the Pats in silver and you've got a pretty dull group in my NFL mini helmet display caseWow there are 7 white helmeted teams and 6 of them are in the AFC. More than a third of the conference wears a white lid. I never thought about that. Weird.
The AFC East dominated the white helmet segment of the NFL during more than one era. It ended when the Jets switched to green helmets for the 1977 season.

Don't know if I can find a picture, but here's one I absolutely know was a one-time only matchup- Carolina Panthers vs. Houston Oilers, November 1996.
The Midnight Green eagles shared two seasons with the Oilers, but never played them. I wouldve liked to see that

A lot of these NFL pics are getting major bonus points for having actual AstroTurf in them too. That brings back memories, when was the last official NFL game played on it?
I'm almost positive it was Colts Broncos in 2004 at RCA
Right - almost. The last NFL game played on the old-style Astroturf was Colts-Broncos in RCA, but on January 9, 2005.
The picture above is from the 2004 playoffs, notice the colts blue face mask. Last Regular season game it was played on was Jets vs Rams January 5th, 2005...... Who was the last team with in an outdoor stadium to use it?
Ralph Wilson Stadium used it through the 2002 season. Did any outdoor stadium use it later than that?
