NCAA D1 Hockey Concepts -- Wisconsin Badgers & Yale Bulldogs (64/64)
WestCoastBias replied to MDGP's topic in Concepts
College hockey and all these small schools is so interesting to me being from the west coast where it does not exist aside from ASU. Great concepts. -
Too many Ducks uniforms in this thread... let's take a look at the new uniforms the real baseball program in the State of Oregon has this year.

I agree but some people on here want their gotcha moment and keep pointless debates going.

Yeah and I replied that those on that list may not be as absolute as you think because of the regionality of college athletics and universities themselves. You and I may know them but we spend our time debating on a sports uniforms website. Regular sports fans that only watch the big matchups or March Madness (which is the example used that started this debate on why OSU shouldn't use OSU on their uniforms) most likely do not. You chalked that up to my ignorance and that people on the West Coast are shut ins but the reality is that most people just don't share our niche interest in this sort of thing.

It's not about being a west coast shut in or ignorant. It's about regionality, the majority of universities serve their regions. That's what started this debate in the first place. I advocated for it being fine for Oregon State to use OSU on their uniforms even though there are other OSU's because that's their regional name. So if Missouri wants to put MU on their uniforms than that's fine but that doesn't mean people outside of that region will necessarily know which M university it is, same as the OSU situation.

You think people really know all those? Most people don't even know that Cal is UC Berkeley. MU... Michigan? Missouri? Montana? There's a lot of M states, you think someone out West or in the NE knows MU means Missouri? Where I'm from people think FSU is Fresno State (which also is referred to as State locally), I doubt many know UGA too or what an Ole Miss is. Once again acronyms are regional, we know them because we live in a sports bubble but a lot of regular people don't know college sports off the top of their head like they do the NFL, MLB, or NBA. I'll give you LSU, UCLA, BYU, and maybe TCU and UNLV.

Yeah the oversized Bronco head on both sides would be a good look

Boise just needs to bring back these.

As a Rams fan, the uniforms have really grown on me ON the field. However, I won't buy one to wear (still have a throwback Gurley jersey) and in fact I've only bought one item since the rebrand is a sort of throwback style hat from 47 Brand but it has the new LA logo on it. I do actually kind of like the LA logo now though and the demotion of the Bone uniform has really improved the overall set. If they got rid of the stupid patches I might think about buying the blue jersey.

NHL Anti-Thread: Bad Business Decision Aggregator
WestCoastBias replied to The_Admiral's topic in Sports In General
What a shame. Capital One Arena is one of the best urban arenas in the country. -
Exactly. Michigan State uses "State" on their uniforms and that's what people in Michigan call the them, just like in Mississippi "State" is Mississippi State and they use it on their uniforms too. Both MSU's and both use "State" because that's their regional brand. As much as college athletics want to be national brands they never will be to the extent that an acronym or shortened name is solely associated to one school.

Like I said it was a bad year for the Heisman, no one fully grabbed the national attention like a lot of Heismans do. If Washington played on the east coast though then Penix and this Washington might of been the media darlings. Certainly no one will admit the Pac-12 was the deepest conference this year either.
-
The 3 biggest games on LSU's schedule they lost. SEC wasn't very deep this year either. Idk it wasn't a good year for the Heisman but I would of given it to Penix.

I like centered crests but this looks bad with the Royal Caribbean logo

No need to gate keep the use of OSU, they're all in different parts of the country so it doesn't really matter. In the PNW, if you say OSU it's Oregon State not Oklahoma State or Ohio State.

These were Oregon State's previous jerseys, which they wore all throughout March Madness on their Elite Eight run, with an insanely small Oregon State which in my opinion is worse than a OSU that may or may not confuse casual fans. Above are the womens team's jerseys which is what the mens team should do too. But there is nothing wrong or "ignorant" with the mens team Oregon State using their acronym either, casual fans be damned. I'm sure the baseball team does just fine with casual fans using OSU.

College football is such a joke now from the super conferences spanning the entire country formed by greedy TV networks to NIL, the transfer portal, and coaching changes effectively making bowl games pointless and now an undefeated Power 5 champ gets left out of the playoff over a one loss team that needed a miracle to beat a 6-6 team two weeks ago.
-
Oregon State doesn't need to do that because their name is OSU, it doesn't matter at all if there's other OSU's

UCLA has told the B1G that it wants to end every year with USC now, as they should. https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2023-11-20/ucla-usc-football-rival-regular-season-finale-big-ten B1G and ACC would need to come to an agreement probably to continue the usual final game rotation involving Cal, Stanford, USC, UCLA, and ND.

Dog food... Surely St Louis can do do better. Can they not get Budweiser/Bud Light? Edward Jones?

Why can't MLS get more well known companies for sponsorships? I understand it for less popular teams in smaller markets but LAFC, Galaxy, Seattle, Atlanta, and Miami are premier teams and all have not very well known or just weird sponsors. Only teams I can think of with well known sponsors are: Charlotte - Ally (at least for me) Austin - Yeti Toronto - BMO (big in Canada I guess) Minnesota - Target NYC teams - Kind of? But they are owned by them so not as cool
