They also made a 30-for-30 about Michael Jordan on the White Sox -- Must be the right uniform!

Michael Jordan never played for the White Sox

Let's be honest here. Even Miami Shaq was better than Shaq in Orlando.

 

If Shaq "belongs" in a Magic uniform, then he belongs in three of them -- the Deion Sanders of the NBA.

Miami Shaq was only good because of D Wade. Orlando Shaq was a great player who had Penny and Horace Grant to compliment his skill set. Cujo, stick to baseball

To put Shaq's four seasons and lone Finals sweep in Orlando on par with his time in LA is extremely laughable.

What are you talking about, people remember Shaq as a great player in Orlando and Los Angeles. Heck, if you ask some people they would say Shaq was even better with Orlando. Shaq and Penny was a great thing, and it certainly wasn't wrong.

After 307 games and 4 premierships (2008, 2013, 2014, 2015) in 15 seasons for the Hawthorn Hawks between 2002 and 2016, Sam Mitchell will be playing for the West Coast Eagles in the 2017 Australian Football League season. Another recruit for the West Coast for 2017 is Drew Petrie, who played 316 games in 16 seasons for North Melbourne between 2001 and 2016. This is the first time in AFL history that a club has had two new recruits in the same season who played over 300 games each at another club.

How 'bout this: Mauve (greyish-purple) is a fantastically underrated color that should really be used more often.

I do not think that muave is really underrated, I mean Yahoo, the Kings, and the Vikes all use it

The error that has bugged me for YEARS is NBA 2K's botching of the 90's Golden State Warriors uniforms. The number font is hilariously wrong and they refuse to fix it. It's not even close to what they wore. Amazingly, this is a screengrab from 2K17.

Man, what are you playing 2k17 on? That looks like its from a Gamecube or something...

I have to admit that I have never heard of this pronunciation.

But that reminds me of an interesting lingusitic phenomenon found here in New York: the conflation of the words "drawer" and "draw".  

For people outside New York, the difference between the word "drawer" and the word "draw" is the audible R at the end of "drawer". But for us in New York, that difference is minimal, even nonexistent. Our accent makes these words sound so similar that there are many people who aren't even aware that the word "drawer" exists.  They think that the noun for the compartment in a cabinet is "draw" -- it's something that you draw, so it's a draw!  

I recently talked to a highly educated, highly literate lawyer in my office who thought that; and I admit that I thought that until late high school or perhaps early college.  I would have written "chest of draws".  This confusion is further encouraged by the existence of the noun "draw" in the context of cards, and in the phrase "luck of the draw".

 

(NOTE: I am aware that this diversion has nothing to do with the ostensible topic of this thread.  But, if I am going to be honest, I would say that this thread has lost all its value and can only benefit from any sort of diversion.  In all of sports history there are about a dozen players who would qualify as really being odd to see in a uniform other than the one with which they are primarily associated; and all of them were mentioned in the first couple of pages of this thread -- ten years ago!  This thread has long since degraded into a place to list any player who has ever changed teams, and then it was further devalued by the listing of players in uniform styles different from their main ones.  Oy!  So if any place is ripe for a little language-related derailing, it's this thread.  Only on account of this will a reader find something worthwhile here.)

Same here in Jersey, I still remember how annoying it was in Elementary school (Where a lot of the teachers are from Long Island) that all the teachers would say "its in the draw"

Pocatello is running a contest for a new flag.

Thats pretty cool

Pocatello, Idaho, a town that used a sign used as a promotion for the town in the 90s as their city flag. What the  were they thinking?

NBA: New York Knicks

NFL: New York Giants

NHL: New Jersey Devils

NCAAF: Rutgers Scarlet Knights

MiLB: Somerset Patriots

MLS: New York Red Bulls

MLB: New York Yankees

My favorite unused logo of all time, for the Pats

One of the most famous unused logos

The Baltimore Bombers were a proposed NFL expansion team passed up for the Jags and Panthers

Have we forgotten already?

I like the Senators logo, I do not get why so many people hate it

Or this matchup with the old Kings unis and the new Hornets unis:

It looks even weirder with Rondo in a Kings uni

I actually like the old Wizards logo way more than the new one, the old one was simple with a lot of hidden messages, the new one is crowded and boring

Last season for the Hornets as the Bobcats and the first season for the Suns in those unis.

I feel like the current Rockets logo looks really lazy, like a 6 year old did it. The Rockets should bring back a modernized version of their 80's logo.
