  1. I’m… surprisingly okay with this. Was there an opportunity to use more iconic Baltimore signage that t-shirt stands outside the stadium have been incorporating into O’s/Ravens designs for decades now? Of course. But all in all it could be so, so much worse. The all-black really does allow the cuffs (and the orange names on the back) to pop. And the cursive B is a great alt cap. Nothing should replace the cartoon bird for the foreseeable future but the cursive B is a good complement to the “O’s” cap. Overall, it’s a Nike alternate. It could be so much worse.
  2. The best thing you out can say about these is that they’re better than the previous set. Which is an all-timer in terms of low bars to clear. The definition of “meh.” I am thoroughly whelmed.
  3. Just would like to come on here and complain about NFL+, I'm hoping when the Sunday Ticket contract ends next year NFL+ essentially becomes that, but it's so stupid that the only way to pay a flat fee to watch any NFL game I want is through a satellite dish company. I recently moved out of the MD area and I just want to be able to watch the Ravens. That really shouldn't be that hard in our era of streaming services. I don't even care if I have to pay for another streaming service. As of now you're essentially paying $5 a month to watch games you could watch on TV on your laptop, or out of market radio broadcasts.
  4. I think it might be time to make the switch. The white-paneled home caps carry a lot of good memories for me (and I would wager most O’a fans) as they were initially introduced in 2012, the first time the O’s had been good in 15 years, so that season is definitely special. But I think the black road cap just looks better. Something about the Orioles in a black cap with an orange brim at home just looks right.
  5. That Cubs hat is great but MLB is off their rocker if they think I'm paying $44 for it.
  6. And this is my first time hearing that people strongly dislike the blue alt. It’s not flashy but I think it’s a tasteful alternate for such a classic franchise.
  7. When we said we wanted the one-helmet rule gone, it was so that Washington could wear a blank faux-leather helmet with their throwbacks. Not for any of this crap. At this point teams are just doing it for the social media clicks, confirmed. We heard no rumblings about Bears or Cards alt helmets and then suddenly poof, two iconic helmets are supplanted by a 3D-printed fire emoji. EDIT: “Midnight black facemask signals dark intentions”?? “Galactic black fire sky shell”??????? Oh my goodness for the love of all that is good on this earth please shut up.
  8. Man, beating the Yankees and then seeing their fans go into meltdown mode claiming they immediately need to trade for 4 players or the team is going nowhere just never gets old.
  9. It looks like a ridiculous overpay by Florida at first glance. But Huberdeau and Weegar are both on expiring contracts and Tkachuk just signed an 8-year extension with Florida. So it’s probably still an overpay, but perhaps not as gross of one as you’d think at first glance.
  10. With the quality of play to match!
  11. Not really, but what I meant is that it seemed to have a chokehold on sports aesthetics in the early to mid 2000’s (black Royals, A’s and Jays come to mind), then it sort of faded for a little bit. It never went away but it didn’t seem to be so much in the zeitgeist. Now with the 2nd helmet nonsense we have at least four teams (Commies, Eagles, Panthers, and Jets, can’t remember if I’m forgetting anyone) that have released all-black looks and only one of them (Eagles) has any sort of loose right to be able to use black. It’s back, baby, and this time it seems like it’s taking over the NFL instead of MLB.
  12. Just awful. BFBS returning in full force has been one of the worst parts (among many) of the uniform trends of the last 5 or so years.
  13. I’m torn. These uniforms are objectively better then the bland Eli-era ones. But my first thought when I saw them was “they look like the Bills,” even though the Giants have just as much claim to royal blue with white and red numbers as they do. If it were up to me they’d keep the LT-era template but color match the blue to the navy helmet.
  14. I know we’re kind of piling on TY here, but I just want to say that I for one appreciate his posts. Because sometimes I need a reminder of why I hate the Yankees so much.
