 Are there any other MLB team names that people find problematic? 

Atlanta Braves

They did use the shield logo as a crest briefly in the late '70s.  It wasn't well-received.

 

The then GM would later reuse this idea and use it on the Winnipeg Jets.

So, how about letting Toei or Hasbro/Bandai buy the team? Granted, every video of the team would be copyright striked because Japan has no fair use laws, but I digress.

Texas Power Rangers

I'm all in on players performing an over the top pose before every at bat.

The tough thing is that, aside from the Rockets, every pro team in Texas leans into a Western motif for their brands. You've got the Cowboys, Texans, Mavericks, Spurs, Stars, Astros (who briefly tried to emphasize the space imagery before going back to a basic star), and Rangers.

 

There's only so many ways to use the Texas flag/state outline/cowboy hats/boots before you start looking like one of the other teams.

Dallas Stars just happened to work out perfectly considering they were originally the North Stars

If the Oilers make their navy blue alts their new primary uniforms, does that mean this becomes the new primary logo?

 

 

 

Oilers using navy was a mistake

New York is so weird. I was in Manhattan last weekend when NYCFC clinched the championship game. You wouldn't know it just walking around; no one had on NYCFC gear, I didn't see it on any TVs passing by, no posters or banners,  etc.

 

But it's also New York. If just 1 percent of the city cares, that's still a lot of people.

If it's any indication, the Hammerstein Ballroom was sold out for the watch party. 

I'd like to see NYCFC try an orange kit. They haven't had a change kit I cared for since the inaugural season. 

Well, at least they're in on the joke too.

Black Fridays for the Mets are here to stay.

It was quickly pointed out that the replicas shown in the video and website are missing the neck piping. A slight redesign maybe? Seems weird to remove an element that's been on nearly every Mets alternative.

I think that we should consider having Fox Sports' graphics department arrested

Why are they so huge?

2015 Mets forgot about the 2nd half of that plan.

This was the best they looked imo.

 

I thought it had way too much going on with the shoulder patches and chest number. I did like the orange trim. I have nothing against it.

US national hockey broadcasts loving that upper left score placement!

 

ESPN recycling the music from their last foray into NHL broadcasts, too.

I'm surprised they didn't put a shots counter. They'll probably add that at some point during the season.

A little surprised more isn't being made about this Jon Gruden story.  ESPN is certainly covering it, but whether there or here, more people seem to be upset that Urban Meyer got a lap dance than that Jon Gruden made an extremely racially insensitive remark about DeMaurice Smith.  Of the two, Gruden's impacts his ability to coach his players the most, and I'm kind of surprised that half his players don't want to punch him in his lips (or maybe they do, but just can't.)

 

Both guys are idiots, and two things can be wrong, but where Gruden went seems to be far worse than Meyer, and as more comes out about these emails, I'd be really disappointed if Gruden remains in the league.

Cats out of the bag now and YIKES, it's really bad.

Reports from the Athletic that the reverse retro is getting a reboot for the 22/23 season.  

Islanders "It's a slightly more "navyer" sweater."

Bally is better than whatever the hell this is. 

Man that is a terrible FOX graphic for MLB.

Those TNT graphics oddly feel like something from a video game rather than a professional TV broadcast. I'm assuming this look must be coming to the NBA too.

Just replace the logo with EA Sports and there you go.

I thought it looked ok. It's good for the current TNT branding. Now we wait for ESPN. Are they airing any preseason games on the main channel?

It's the upper chest stripe that really kills what is an otherwise fine jersey. 

Coyotes starting to hit the nail with their branding just as they're getting kicked out

Not sure if anyone here knows anything about this, but I noticed that in the NHL 22 teaser reel, the Islanders were presented with Barzal sporting the Navy Reverse Retro jersey. Is that just EA being EA, or could this be a leak that they're returning to Navy full-time? 

I think they were just showing off the RR uniforms. 

I dig the old-timey scorebug for tonight's Field of Dreams game.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/154534718559 - Wow, the Mariners script on this jersey is laughably bad.

I can't believe people paid that much for it

Browns 180 from worst set in the league to one of the best is outstanding.
