  1. If we're hijacking this thread with weird numbers then let's not forget about Ty Montgomery and Cordarelle Patterson wearing 80's numbers at running back as of this decade.
  2. I was looking at Vanessa Hudgens Instagram (shut up) and I noticed the co-owner of Cali Water was wearing a Kings jersey with his company as the ad on the front instead of Dialpad. It might just be a random thing but I think it's interesting to point out anyways.
  3. What did Vince Carter do to you, man? Did he on your doorstep or something?
  4. I associate the Toronto with Vince Carter more than any other place he played in. I remember as a kid when he came in and it instantly made the Raptors the coolest team in the NBA even though my favorite team is the Lakers. I even sent mail to the Raptors as a kid and they mailed me back a postcard with Dee Brown's autograph on it.
  5. Apparently Keith Hernandez had no idea the Mets had front numbers. https://streamable.com/ouce1e
  6. The Eagles have now had three different wordmarks on the same jersey design. This team really needs to move on at this point. The new font does not work with the current setup at all.
  7. It's funny you bring this up cause awhile ago I was watching an old Late Show interview of John Madden from the 80's and he was talking about how numbers should correlate to the kind of player someone is visually, not about any technicalities or whatever. Like if someone is a 74 then they gotta be a big dude. Basically saying you gotta look like a 24 or a 56. It's gotta look right. I really miss receivers wearing numbers in the 80s, it feels like it's becoming less and less of a thing.
  8. Jaguars are having fans vote for the 30th season logo and two of the choices use gold and the number font from the 90's jersey so one can only wonder.... https://web.witcontests.com/jaguars/sweepstakes/vote/vote-for-the-30th-season-logo-240309
  9. I'll be honest, I don't even really like the the San Diego Clippers logo here, it just doesn't come off like a logo that belongs in the NBA. Without the text it's actually a solid alternate but would be a pretty weak main logo for an NBA team. The new Los Angeles logo is much better and has a lot of interpretations which makes it pretty cool to me.
  10. Still the best champion uniform that ever existed.
  11. Test what? They put the uniform out and immediately got an overwhelmingly positive response. They said for years that they want to do kelly green real bad, and they also keep hesitating on it and it's irritating me. Do they want it or not? Make up your mind. The fans want it, the non-Eagles fans want it, but Jeffrey Lurie is too stupid to realize anything. Regardless of what color green they choose, they need new uniforms real bad like the Broncos do.
  12. I feel like the Eagles should do a kelly green helmet with a chrome facemask. Something like the picture below but obviously update the wing.
  13. Don't forget the logo on the pants. I actually like the original road uniform. Also check out those socks! NFL teams use to have wordmarks on socks and nobody remembers that! Also, the original look didn't have the stupid charcoal trim on the numbers and the pants had traditional striping thus making this look way better. They also had green socks. The team eliminated all of these things when they moved to Lincoln Financial Field in 2003 and aside from the shiny fabric the look has sucked ever since.
  14. That was a typical type of pattern for football uniforms in the 1920s/1930s. Bears and Steelers both wore throwbacks of that style in 1994. The long forgotten Dayton Triangles and Frankford Yellow Jackets (Eagles) took things a step further. When someone tells you football uniforms are too flashy just remember flashy designs were always a thing.
  15. I totally forgot the Clippers wore navy in the early 80's.
  16. The Clippers have done something I never thought they would do and that is lean into the team name for imagery. The actual logo has a damn ship in it. It's a miracle. The uniforms are great too. For being the butt of jokes among NBA fans, they aren't jokes when it comes to their brand, they deserve props for this.
  17. Modified classic Clippers wordmark! Thank god!
  18. The thing about the Packers getting an alternate helmet is that it could just be making their throwback accurate. Remember the throwback was introduced in 2021 when there was no alternate helmet rule. They did wear a yellow helmet in 1950 but in 1953 they had a gold helmet. Man the Packers sucked at having an identity Pre-Lombardi. It was all over the place.
  19. I believe it was said that the alternate helmet was designed to go with new uniforms back when it was unveiled. So either the decal is swapped and that's classified as "new" or... the Lions are going with blue helmets in their new uniforms which would just be real controversial.
  20. It's funny how video games today cost the exact same as they did throughout the 80's and 90's. It somehow has avoided inflation.
  21. That's what I don't understand about this Brady2024 thing. Paul is clearly a good guy and I respect his work but what the hell is he doing here? This is such a longshot that I don't even know if it was worth it. It's almost like Paul figured since he was one foot out the door he might as well just screw around.
  22. You might be thinking of it being listed as Color Rush in Madden 20.
  23. The Jets at least did have the helmet at midfield during the final years at Shea Stadium and had weird endzone logo placement.
  24. Weird video game Jets fact: the original NFL Blitz had the green and black look when it came out in Arcades in 1997. The Nintendo 64 and Playstation 1 versions of the game came out at the exact same time in September 1998 and by that point the Jets had gotten new logos and uniforms but somehow ONLY the Playstation 1 version had the new look and a crude last second helmet graphic.
