Michael Bolton

I've been to over a dozen Falcons games and it never dawned on me that they don't have any retired number banners. Huh.

Also the Giants are retiring Michael Strahan's number as well this year.

Great thread idea.

Some fool actually paid $78 after shipping for that Ichiro jersey. Yikes.

sorry.

Man, what a shame about Richard Sherman. He's definitely not a guy I would ever have thought I'd see in this kind of predicament.

2004 Bucs at Chargers

 

Oh, that's a good one. Somehow the only time these teams played during the 10 seasons these uniforms overlapped.

Even though the NFL one-helmet rule was announced in 2013, teams were only allowed another helmet for throwbacks up until that point.  The Seahawks tried the two-regular helmet thing in 2002, but the NFL said nope. 

Interesting! I've never heard of this. Are there any articles online that talk about this more?

If they wanted to do a "BENGALS" helmet they could have with the one helmet rule, no? Just remove the tiger stripes (which I believe are decals) and add the script thus using the same orange shell?

Dallas Cowboys at Jacksonville Jaguars, September 10, 2006.  Only time the Cowboys have won blue against the Jags and also the only time Dallas has played in Jacksonville during the regular season.

 

I was about to correct you until I realized their 2014 matchup was in London with Jacksonville designated as the home team. I'm sure it's already been covered somewhere within this thread's 65 pages, but this would also be the only time these uniforms coincided.

NO.

 

Throwing back to when the team was absolute trash is not going to work. Nobody has any fond memories of that look aside from basic nostalgia of "I remember that." I use to be a 49ers fan as a little kid and I did not like that late 90's look. The gold pants coming back made it more tolerable but it just wasn't doing it for me.

12-4 in 1996 & 1998 and 13-3 in '97 is trash? Lol.

This picture really is perfect, because not only is that a great Maryland uniform, the huge shoulder pads also make the player look like a turtle.

The field looks great, but I can assure you no one within Georgia Tech's target demographic will want anything to do with that ATL script.

And you live in Atlanta.  'Nuff said.

 

How is this relevant?

An appropriate choice, given the historical significance and the propensity MiLB has to coming up with "double" nicknames like "Iron Pigs" and "Blue Whaoos"

Or "Baby Cakes" (I will really miss their identity, I actually love it and bought a couple hats which I hope will last a long time after the team is relocated.)

This might be one of my favorite helmets in football. 

Same. Reminds me of this South Carolina helmet, in a very good way.

I know I'm a little late with this, but my favorite graphics packages:

NFL

2001-2002 NFL on FOX

2003 NFL on FOX

2006-2007 MNF

2006-2008 NFL on CBS

2010-2011 NFL on FOX

Current NFL on CBS

 

I wouldn't call it a "favorite" yet, but the current NFL on Fox package is growing on me.

 

MLB

Early 2000's MLB on ESPN

2006-2007 KICU (Oakland A's)

2014-2017 MLB on Fox/Regional FOX Telecasts

Current NBC Sports Regional MLB Package

Solid avatar.

I like it, but the script was probably too similar to this Mets jersey:

FOX's best score bug was the 2010 version. Everything since has been a downgrade.

I actually like Rutgers' old knight logo (not-so-affectionately known as "the battleship on fire" among alumni).

Holy crap. Now I'll never be able to un-see that.

Interleague play has been around since 1997, so at this point, I believe every MLB team has played the other at least once.

I believe you're right, but I want to say in just the past couple years there was a team that visited an older ballpark for the first time in their history. Was it maybe the Rays going to Dodger Stadium for the first time? Something like that.

Stanton in his pre-Miami days gives me a little bit of mind blow

 

He looks 12 in this picture.

I agree. Not only is it far better than the block C they are using now, I can't think of any other team that has an I monogram, so it would be unique.

I always see a lower case G or a funky looking J when I see that logo not accompanied by the rest of the wordmark.

Right team, wrong uniform, wrong first name.

Anyone knows how did this happen, when the Hawks last used these uniforms in 1994/95 and the Raptors debuted in 1995/96 season?

Preseason maybe?

This matchup is stunning.
