  1. I'll definitely try to make that game, seems like a great idea to me. I love the Rose Bowl and haven't been to a Galaxy game in years. Getting down to Carson is kind of a hassle and I refuse to go to a LAFC game even though their stadium looks amazing. Idk why but LAFC just gives me weird vibes and I also don't like overly try hard fans who think they're in Europe or South America.
  2. Sorry for wishing for a regional conference of like minded universities, aside from BYU playing the outcast villain role, instead of a dumb nation wide super conference. Big 12 teams have no business being in the Pac-12 and Pac-12 teams have no business being in the Big 12, and of course Pac-12 teams should not be in the B1G.
  3. I'm thinking white shorts with some kind of red, navy, and light blue striping/trim
  4. Until this past summer, my dream Pac-14 was as follows... Arizona Arizona State BYU California Colorado Colorado State Oregon Oregon State Stanford UCLA USC Utah Washington Washington State BYU was the last remaining G5 football program in the West that could actually be a successful P5 program. BYU has a massive fanbase, a lot of money, a stadium that would be the 4th largest in the Pac-14, and the historical success/brand (past National Championship & Heisman) needed to grab television attention. The addition of BYU would also make one of the countries fiercest rivalries, the Holy War with Utah, a Pac-14 conference game now played during rivalry week instead of early in the year. BYU though was never a real possibility due to its religious affiliation, strict student honor code, and conservative politics that clash heavily with the ideology of the rest of the conference. However, I think these vast idealogical differences would have made for must see games which was already evident with many of BYU's past games vs Pac-12 opponents. Colorado State would have been a massive gamble for the Pac-14. They are not a historically great football program nor do they have a massive fanbase like BYU. CSU certainly does not bring eye balls to the conference. They do though fit in very well culturally and academically with the rest of the conference (enrollment, research, academic rankings, etc.), especially with the other ag schools, Washington State and Oregon State. The real hope in adding them would be to light a fire underneath Colorado's ass. Colorado has no real rivals in the Pac-12 right now and adding their little brother who have actually invested quite a lot in football the past decade (new stadium and facilities but they just can't hire an actually decent head coach) would force CU to care about football or risk falling behind to CSU. Jim McElwain also proved recently that CSU can be a successful football program. Hopefully with both major state schools in Colorado now in a P5 conference together, the state would begin to actually care about college football more too. The final part of the new Pac-14 would have be that EVERY school would play their in state rival on campus during rivalry week. This means no neutral site games in Denver for CSU-CU and that Cal-Stanford and USC-UCLA play every rivalry weekend, no more catering to Notre Dame letting them end every season in California then go straight into recruiting West Coast players that should be staying in the Pac-14 footprint. And of course the Pac-14 Championship Game is played every year in Las Vegas.
  5. Some elite looks for France and Germany. Really like the Portugal aways too. Not as much of a fan of the full England away kit now, maybe too much red idk?
  6. I like the white face masks more. I love Arizona's uniforms, one of the best looks in the Pac-12. But I think they should bring back their old custom number font.
  7. And the combo for OSU is black/orange/black... And like @upperV03 mentioned, it's a callback to 2008 when the unranked Beavs upset #1 USC in Corvallis. Also, with their impending move to the B1G this is very likely the last time USC ever plays at Reser Stadium. All I got to say about that is... Go Beavs.
  8. These uniforms are They're perfect one game a year alternates for Ohio State.
  9. I'd like to see black/orange/black, it just feels like the right combo for a night game. Knowing OSU and they reluctance to mix and match with this uniform set though I wouldn't be surprised if it was black/orange/orange.
  10. Neither are really that bad but neither are really that good.
  11. TCU going all in on the red now? Is this the first time the basketball team has used it? That striping is awesome though, get rid of the red and these uniforms are some of the best in the country.
  12. Looks like Oregon State is going with their orange uniforms for the USC game this weekend. The Beavs do have a history of knocking off highly ranked Trojans at home while wearing orange...
  13. Some new uniforms in the Pac-12 on the women's side... Some closer looks at OSU's uniforms. I like these more than the men's uniforms.
  14. City of San Jose inspired black uniforms for SJSU. Getting very strong late 2000's San Jose Earthquakes vibes from these.
  15. This. This board hates the swoosh on the front of any uniform but it's gotta happen for the sake of getting back full sleeve stripes in the NFL.
  16. Only three Nike kits have the weird different colored neck triangle thing and the US is the only one with it on their home kit. Seems like most countries realized how bad of a look it is and refused to have it, especially on their home kits, but not the US. Adidas still won the round of World Cup kits but Nike didn't do all that bad, aside from the US disaster. And poor Canada has to keep their Nike catalog kits, that's a bummer.
  17. Long Beach or maybe the South Bay would be the furthest north (or west I should say) I could see them going. They've been in Anaheim for over 50 years, they can't go too far out of Orange County and risk alienating their whole fanbase. Long Beach or the South Bay gets them into LA County and opens them up to actually challenging the Dodgers for fans but close enough to still get their OC fans. They definitely should not double down on the OC and move further south (Santa Ana, Irvine, Tustin, etc.).
  18. I agree Qatar's kits are both great, I like them a lot even the centered crest. The Poland away kit is also beautiful, I might buy one . I think England's away kit will end up being the best Nike kit judging off the leaks.
  19. An orange jersey would be awesome, I hope it happens. The fans are doing an orange-out right?
  20. No way the Angels leave the Los Angeles market, that'd be the stupidest thing the team has ever done.
  21. Unpopular opinion... Retro mascot logos like this rarely look good on helmets.
  22. I hate USC but they should be represented way more on there. Only two players? Same thing with the Raiders. The dude wasn't kidding when he wrote his choices were biased. Some thoughts... 1 - Reese only played one year in LA. I'd go with USC baseball coach Rod Dedeaux. 3 - Carson Palmer. Maybe Chris Paul. 5 - Reggie Bush. C'mon man. 10 - Landon Donavon. Wore 26 for half a season before he retired, 10 is his number. Probably will be Herbert eventually though. 11- Could be Matt Leinart but I think it should be Anze Kopitar. 15 - Tim Salmon? Need some more Angels on there. 16 - Marcel Dione. Both him and Gasol will have their numbers hanging in Staples in the future though. 30 - Nolan Ryan? 32 - Magic is the right choice but so many options it's crazy. Magic, Koufax, OJ, Bill Walton, Jonathon Quick, Blake Griffin (Eh), Marcus Allen (USC). 33 - Kareem with UCLA and the Lakers, easy choice. Sorry Marcus Allen (Raiders). 34 - I agree with Fernando over Shaq and Bo. 36 - Newcombe only played one year in LA. How about Jered Weaver? Wore 36 for Angels and Long Beach State too. 42 - Jackie never played in LA but is from Pasadena and went to UCLA. I'm cool with it but you could go with James Worthy. 99 - Gretzky or Donald. I lean Gretzky due to being the hockey GOAT, his impact on hockey in LA, and Donald's career not being over yet. Such a tough one though. There's a lot more to debate too. I don't even want to get into the higher numbers or numbers I don't know much about. LA has to be the hardest city to do this for with two teams in each major sport (including the Angels and Ducks, personally I count the Angels but not the Ducks) plus UCLA and USC. And the Dodger's Brooklyn history that LA really respects, I don't count that but the guy that made this did. It'd be cool to get one Clipper on there for representation, the Chargers even got one.
