  1. I don't know how unpopular this is, but there are a number of CFL identities that I really like.

    The bottom three haven't been worn for several years.

    My unpopular opinion is that CFL identities really aren't that bad. Aside from Montréal, all teams have good logos and workable colour schemes (however poor their execution may be). You've got two terrific looks (TOR, HAM), two-and-a-half good looks (BC, WPG, and EDM's home), an okay look (MTL), two bad looks (SSK, OTT), and two downright horrendous looks (CGY, EDM's road). The NHL has a similar ratio.

    See, that's why I said "I don't know how unpopular this is..." I was thinking there were a fair amount of people who like Hamilton and Toronto's uniforms.

  2. I hate the New Orleans Pelicans identity so much that I would support a CFL-like New Orleans Hornets in the west, Charlotte Hornets in the east situation in the NBA. There, I said it...

    What exactly do you mean by CFL-like?

    CFL-like meaning it would be similar to how the CFL had two Roughriders franchises for many years. (In Saskatchewan and Ottawa)

  3. To me this is one of those "So bad it's good" uniforms. I know there's too much red, but I still like it.

    EDIT: Looking back, I realized I have a ton of unpopular opinions.

    I feel like they've gotten obliterated on national television every time they've worn these. They just remind me of the darkest parts of the Jim Zorn era (as opposed to the oh-so-magical times we're experiencing now). Hopefully this combo never sees the light of day again.

    Yeah, the Steelers obliterated them.

    When they wore them against Dallas in 2009, the Cowboys beat the Skins 7-6 on a last-minute TD pass...Skins were shutting Dallas out 6-0 for the whole game and lost at the end. Was a crazy game actually.

    Story behind the uniforms:

    I'm actually glad I missed that game. My neighbor gave me a recap of the whole thing right after it ended.

    Monochrome red or not, they'll still get obliterated on national TV.

  5. This is the best Lightning jersey imho:

    Please tell me that's fake.

    No that uniform is very real. It's so bad it's almost good.

    Oh yes, it is real. (And yes, I know this jersey is bad from a design point of view.) But for some reason, it's my favorite of the Lightning's jerseys. It just says "Lightning" to me.

  6. For some reason I like the Bills old uniforms. Don't get me wrong, I actually like their current uniforms. I just really like these for some strange reason:

    (I know that nobody agrees with me.)

    You are 1insaneguy
    That monstrosity might be worse than the jags or bucs
    Honestly, I agree that I like them. Not better than what they have now, but I like them.

    I do though, like that red helmet a lot better than the current whites.

    I actually like what they have now. But I have to agree with you. The Red Helmet is much better than the White helmet.

  7. Carolina Hurricanes concept. I miss the wrap around flag motif, and I'm adding a color. Thoughts?

    If there's any color that would work for Carolina, it's probably "Carolina Blue".. I really think this could grow on me.. Perhaps a slightly less vibrant shade could work better, but the blue is a nice touch.. Symbolizing sky, air, water (hurricane-ish elements), and Carolina as well - well thought out and executed

    I like the alt. I think you should darken the blue just a little bit, but other than that I like the changes you made.

    (Don't ban me, Chris ^_^ )

    David Price, Blue Jays. He'll always be a Tampa Bay Ray in my mind.

    (the picture doesn't work for some reason.)

    Price only really played parts of 6 seasons with the Rays. Considering he's not even 30 yet and on his third MLB team, I have a feeling he'll feel much less like a Ray when his career is over. I'm assuming he'll get a big pay day when the season is over and spend the next 6-7 years on his next team.

    The Rays are the team he's spent the most time with, though. That's why I picture him as a Ray.

  9. Is it HTML or is it just the coding the board software uses? Does it use greater than/less than symbols (<, >) or brackets ([, ])? If it uses brackets, there's nothing wrong and there's a button at the very top left of the reply box that you can click to change it back to visual mode.

    It was brackets. Thanks for telling me Geoff.
