Old School Fool

Was watching the Jazz play the New Zealand Breakers and I got a kick out of remembering that NBL teams wear the Hungry Jacks logo on their jerseys. For those who don't know, Hungry Jack's is a variant of Burger King in Australia and New Zealand. However when I looked closer they had the Burger King logo instead! Did they change it just for the games in America?! That's a cool touch, even if I hate ads on uniforms. Also yes, highlighter yellow vs. pink is something else. The Breakers uniforms were still better than the Jazz uniforms.

The 49ers didn't even play the Jaguars until 1999.

The Buccaneers throwbacks.

Oh that looks really good.

Why is the jumbotron using the 80's logo? Is it back as an alternate logo now?

This also reminds me how much I miss big logos on helmets. The stupid vents on modern day helmets has ruined most helmet decals and now very few teams can enlarge the logo, not only that, decals just look better with no vents and a proper sphere shape. It's so weird. I'm not saying I hate that we're trying to make safe helmets, I just hate how we can't seem to find some way to bring back the proper shape of a helmet.

You know, I seem to remember possibly the Lakers equipment manager or someone else with the team talking about this change for the Lakers and they said they heard fan complaints and were looking into it. They haven't done anything about it since despite the constant complaints from us Lakers fans so it's clear to me they either like the banana yellow or Jeanie Buss is colorblind or something.

I understand you don't like the pants issue with the Cowboys but you need to be realistic here. The Cowboys are nowhere near the bottom 5 of bad uniforms in the league (or even in history) and any attempt to put them there reeks of being a contrarian for the sake of it. I don't like the Cowboys mismatch myself but come on. It's a classic look and will be unless they pull a Browns and do some ill fated rebrand.

Dumbest NBA jersey ever.

You're right it's not heinous, it's complete garbage.

The Cowboys jersey stripes have been the same since 1964 after they moved from double stars. Don't mess with it, leave it there. This team doesn't need to screw around with their look unless it's for an alternate and even then their Color Rush helmet sucks. This is what the Cowboys should look like, nothing more and nothing less. Just fix the blues and the silver and don't do anything else.

NBA shorts can have pockets now?!

Not justified? They had it before in the 80's and it was just fine. I think the issue is that it doesn't have a gold stripe. There was a stripe on the pants in 1999 but they removed the pants for the next season, then brought it back in 2001 without the gold stripe.

Seriously. Is it that hard for the Lions to put blue stripes on the white pants? It makes no sense.

As a Native American I personally really liked the Commanders old uniforms and logo but I did not like the name. I don't mind the Commanders name but the branding is awful. They really should have just kept the old uniforms and put the W on the helmet. That is all that really needed to be done. Just look at this garbage. An otherwise great helmet is ruined by this goofy uniform.

The Colts work with all white too.

I bet the Bears ownership doesn't like a lot of things right now...

Players have been deciding what teams wear on the field for a long time. It's nothing new. MLB pitchers have been known to decide the uniform worn in games even. Player involvement in a look is just as important as anything I would say, you know the saying: Look good, feel good, play good. That's how it is for players and just fashion in general. If you look good, you feel good. The only real issue here is consistent sock designs being a problem from player to player, the rest is clearly an evolution of the NFL uniform. You don't have to like it but this is what it's like now and quite honestly we should all get over it. It's all trends and it will stop when it stops. We've watched sports long enough to know that everything starts and stops over time. Cartoony logos? Teal? Black? etc. It all comes and goes. Also suspensions for uniform violations is dumb. In fact, fining for uniforms is dumb too to be honest unless it's super egregious but even then, the fact the league once fined a guy for charity cleats is a joke. He wasn't doing anything wrong and it did upset the non-uniform football fans.

Except it's not what they wore with that uniform in 1946. This is a throwback not some random alternate uniform. I personally would have preferred if the helmet was more historically accurate and just a plain white helmet. It would have been very unique and old school as hell. It still looked nice either way.

The Wolves throwback reminds me of NBA Jam. I can hear the music in my head. I love it.

I wanna see the Warriors wear this again.

Yep, they beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl 10 years ago with the white uniform. That's probably it.

It says it's a countdown leading into the game. That means it's a party at Lincoln Financial Field themed around the throwbacks which will be worn the following week. They're not wearing it at the Meadowlands. If anything, I bet the Eagles bust out the throwbacks on Christmas as a "gift" for the fans.

I definitely didn't expect a Lombard Street reference. That's at least what I think the inspiration is.
