I'm assuming the SCF patch will look like this,

which I don't mind at all. It's very clean and reminds me of the old NBA Finals patch when it was just the trophy opposite side of the logo.

For some reason I'm reminded of this proverb:  “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.”

This reminds me of the NBA Playoffs 2007 logo that's on every single team page in the mothership, some listed as "unused".

How to do a boring logo.  I would have used the baseball, the NY skyline, removed the "Mets", and inserted "60th" and then along the bridge  crossbeam: Anniversary

They already did that during the 50th Anniversary.

That's...not a great look for your reveal if people immediately spot a color-matching flaw.

eww. That's gonna be an eye sore of an otherwise fine and classy uniform.

Yeah, I get it.  It just sucks.  Men at least have the option of buying an authentic... 

A friend at Adidas (not in the soccer department) actually explained it to me that when they decide to create levels in the product line (like replica/authentic) they need to save some things out for the authentic to entice folks to pay more for it.  The patterned collar is not any more expensive or complicated to make.  It could easily be included on a replica kit, without impacting Adidas' bottom line.  But if they did that, they'd be giving customers less of a reason to buy the more expensive authentic version.  People don't pay extra for things they can't see (like fabric cut or collar slogans or jock tags or whatever). 

 

So I get why replicas look the way they do. 

 

But knowing that, makes it all the more ridiculous that they choose not to include the correct collar and basic design elements on women's and kids' kits.  Don't make the pattern on the collar a focal point of the design if you're going to not include it in the retail versions of your product.

Interesting. So why do they cut elements on MLS kits but not a team from any other league? 

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the NBC MLB scorebugs continuous during the last 2 seasons? If that's the case, then it is weird they kept the pop in bug as long as they did for NBA.

You say you started watching football in 2009, well let me show you what NBC was using in 2003 for it's Notre Dame games. Thankfully we were spared of seeing this often because NBC didn't have the rights to the NFL at the time.

 

I always think of Arena Football when I see this scorebug. 

I've never seen a league so obsessed with saving a franchise in a market that's clearly not working. This is an embarrassment to the franchise and to the league. They should not be this proud moving into a community center.

Bayern will no longer wear the Club World Cup patch now that Chelsea are the new title holders.

 

We will see less of the patch, however, since it is not allowed in Premier League play. Chelsea will be able to wear it in other competitions.

 

 

That's so lame. They did the same thing to Manchester United and Liverpool. Why is that? You'd think this would be something they'd WANT one of their clubs to show off.

I feel he's gonna be one of those that jumps around so often, he won't even get a right team.

The name and logo is fine. The uniforms are....not. Not a fan of this trend of

GIANT TEAM NAME ON CHEST IN CASE YOU FORGOT WHO WE ARE

I guess they felt they need an entire new set but they really didn't. The home jersey looks like a knockoff of the previous traditional set. 

The away uniform doesn't match the helmet at all. I don't like the gradient numbers. Why are we doing this? It's not a good aesthetic! 

The alt is the alt. It's whatever. I guess I should wait till they actually play in them but, ugh, I dunno. This is not a good look. 

They got spoiled by a helicopter!

Hold up...

1978 Jets roll out the new helmets but continue to wear the Namath era uniform only for the preseason. 

I like Tony Romo but he needs to learn when to stop talking. 

This dumb sport as to be rigged. Like...bruh

not kicking that extra point looking real stupid now

Is there really anywhere in NYC proper that the team can build a soccer specific stadium?

If there is, the biggest problem would be the lack of transportation.

An example is in College Point. There's a big lot where an airport used to be. Its been abandoned for decades and no one seems to know what to do with it. However, trains don't go through that area at all so that might pose a problem.

Willets Point really is the only realistic option. If that falls through again, this team is playing without a real home for a long long time.

Borussia Dortmund is inviting fans to submit designs for their 2023-24 home shirt:

 

 

Deadline is Feb. 6! Then a jury will select nine finalists, and those will be put to a public vote. Just the front of the shirt -- the rest of the kit will be designed by BVB and Puma.

I love this. It's like Puma said "You hated our kits? Fine! Do it yourself!"

I'm surprised how long we've allowed this conversation to go on for.

So Vinny Testaverde and the entire 1995 Browns roster/staff/front office/ownership were TRADED to the Baltimore Ravens expansion team in 1996. That makes all the sense in the world! Now using that faux logic, explain to me how the Tennessee Titans and Houston Oilers continue to be the same franchise with the same lineage

Titans still own the name and history of the Oilers. The Browns name and history was agreed to stay in Cleveland.
