    I don't know what's worse ... the top or the shorts with the dragon tail?
  2. kimball
    Yup, on the shorts. If you haven't read the whole story, it's totally worth it.
  3. kimball
    Well, and considering those saved us from this, I'm grateful for those gray uniforms.

    What is going on with that cake?! Is it melting?

    Dinking around Getty Images and I found a few fun pics ... A rare picture of Pete Maravich as a member of the UTAH Jazz (played only 17 games before being waived). Karl Malone in the Green Jazz Jerseys they stopped wearing before 1985-86 season. This was a game in SLC on St. Patrick's Day against Detroit.

    Yeah, I'm not sure if they wore the navy on gray for JUST that one season, but I did find some game pictures from GettyImages. For some reason I thought they had wide shoulders in the 2000-04 alternates? Hmmm ... fun find.

    Make the Los Angeles Sharkbears happen! You get the identity of the California Grizzly and the sharks off the waters of LA all in one name! PERFECT!

    I am pretty sure those were worn the first couple of years of that look's existence before switching to the white lettered version (with wider shoulder straps, I believe? The mothership has this worn from 1998-2000 And, this worn from 2000-2005 ...

    My question is will they go with XFL 2001 kind of names: Dallas Maniax Houston Force Los Angeles Inferno New York Force St. Louis Rampage Seattle Smash Tampa Bay Mutiny DC Guard ... or with more traditional names ... Dallas Express Houston Apollos Los Angeles Avengers New York Bulldogs St. Louis Scouts Seattle Kings Tampa Bay Marauders DC Destroyers It almost feels like they're going more on the conservative route. But, I wouldn't be surprised if they went the 2001 route. Maybe a mixture of both?

    Eh. I associate The Mailman with those, especially considering he wore those 4 of 5 seasons they were around.

    I would quip back to not tell the Pacers, but if that meant they'd get rid of the Hickory jerseys for good ... I'd be fine with that.

    The most jarring thing about Draymond here is that I associate that jersey and number with Jason Richardson. It's funny that I didn't really connect the shared number until these throwbacks.

    I would lean on nostalgia and local appropriate names ... New York Bulldogs D.C. Renegades St. Louis Stallions Tampa Bay Bandits Dallas Outlaws Houston Avengers Los Angeles Rhinos Seattle Sockeyes

    Two thoughts ... in PRO football -- Bulldogs is one that could used and embraced. I'm actually surprised it's not used. Of course in college and HS that's another story. But, I'd love a Bulldogs name. I'm sure you're right about Athletics, Packers and Magic. But, it's also hard to compare the three since they all come from different eras and got their nicknames through different methods (nickname from newspapers, sponsor, name-the-team with heavy marketing considering) ... but, now, in today's American sports world we've kind of established what kind of nicknames work for professional sports -- animals (Lions, Tigers, Rams, Hornets, Ravens, etc), regional names (Nationals, Texans, Canadiens, Phillies, Yankees), regional appropriate names (Lakers, Jazz, Oilers, Nuggets, Spurs, Magic, Hurricanes, Canucks), mythical names (Wizards, Titans, Knights), people's nicknames (Redskins, Blackhawks, Celtics). I'm sure I could make that list longer especially considering early 1900 baseball nicknames. There are other "rules" we've kind of adopted ... singular nicknames are not always the best (Magic, Jazz, Wild), and double name nicknames are pretty ridiculous, especially for top tier professional sports (Mighty Ducks, Golden Knights, Silver Stars, etc). Though those rules are thrown out the window for minor league (especially baseball). My point being -- if the XFL wants to be taken more seriously I'd avoid minor league sounding names. They can get creative, just don't go overboard IMO.

    Isn't it ALL a money grab?
  16. kimball
    Oh, duh. I completely forgot about that.

    I'll actually be right by Angel Stadium this weekend, I'm curious now to see how big the location is in person with this perspective. Even with that said ... I just don't see Disney really wanting to build right by the freeway unless it was more shopping, hotels and restaurants.
  18. kimball
    And, there has been rumors of a third Anaheim Disney Park for years. That’s a whole different story and discussion. But, that area would be a good location for a third park. With that all said, I just don’t see the Angels moving. Look how difficult it is to get any arena or stadium deal done in California.
  19. kimball
    Stores. Restaurants. Hotels. SIDE NOTE: I'm somewhat surprised we haven't had 2-3 posts suggesting a Los Angeles Angels of Long Beach name change.
  20. kimball
    I always loved these other gems of Alex English as well ...
  21. kimball
    I think this was the NOLA's best jersey as the Hornets.
  22. kimball
    I still prefer this look ...
  23. kimball
    If the Benson family was involved with an AA team I'd love for them to use the Pelicans name. Probably won't happen with a Pelicans MiLB team and the NBA team, but Pelicans is a baseball name to me. Whatever the name ... just make it sane.
  24. kimball
    Just finished reading it. Loved it. Totally agree.
  25. kimball
    Not a BAD matchup, but, much better than this ... But, this is what I prefer ...
