I don't find anything wrong with Tulane's new helmets aside from the usual "logo on one side, number on the other" treatment. The old ones look nice too, but I like how the greens pop on the new ones.

That's an unpopular opinion? Or are you just throwing your three cents (damn inflation!) into the Jags helmet discussion? Yeah I don't think the teal flaked helmet was received that well around here. But I agree, that would work better with the current look. The Jaguars below the neck have grown on me. Say what you want about Nike's NFL redesigns, but there's no way you can tell me the Reebok ones that came before are better than what the Jags have now (besides the botched helmet), bearing in mind the Jaguars were emphasizing the black on the previous set more than they did with the teal anyway. EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION: Obviously the original sets still blow away the current sets. I'm just comparing the Nike redesign neck-to-toe to Reebok's redesign neck-to-toe.

Now, what if the Canes played in the TWC Arena, the Panthers played in the AAA with proper stadium renovation? Eh, I think the Canes are much better off in Raleigh than Charlotte. Sure you have research triangle college hoops, but you're not competing against the Panthers and Hornets for ticket dollars. Plus IIRC the transplant population's higher in the Raleigh-Durham area than Charlotte.

"Please silence all phones" OH HO HO JUST WAIT FOR THAT SANDSTORM THAT'S GONNA BLOW BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ALL THOSE EAS TONES

Please tell me that's Mr. "I Won't Talk For 4 Hours And I'm The Clear Swing Vote But Say Those 19 Firefighters That Died Literally (1) Two Days Ago Envoke Some Spirit and Courage To Pass This Bill" who didn't have an e-mail account.

I'm apparently the one person who thinks Utah's new football uniforms are actually pretty good. Could use a little less detail on the mountains on the sleeves, but I do like the idea. It's like everything's either too plain or too out there for people, then Utah does something in between, and people still hate it.

Also in a totally separate unpopular opinion, I'm totally fine with baggy pants or shorter socks in baseball. I remember how uncomfortable wearing stirrups over pants were back when I played Little League, so I can sympathize with the players on that. I guess having pants that stop just before the ankle to show off the color of the socks would be the perfect happy medium.

Who would've thought this look would be lightyears better than what they have now. That switch to nike really cost the Seahawks. I'd love to see a remake of these uniforms, and they'd sell like hot-cakes.How is this any different than what Nike always gets criticized for?Neon "volt" color? Check. No real design other than contrasting sleeves? Check. Yet because it's not Nike, it gets a pass? Because this: Looks 10 million times better Than this: going into my usual unpopular opinion that the Seahawks' Nike redesign has really grown on me and is an upgrade over the Reebok redesign, but I think the lime green jerseys would've worked really well if the green was more like the graphic and not what it ended up becoming IRL. It would also probably work better with the uniforms now given the navy sleeves wouldn't stick out as just floating around like they did in that

I wonder what the p.r. firm did to help fight the referendum. Maybe hired some of those dinguses we saw speak in July. Anyway, lol at breaching a contract for a polo tournament. Oh, also, the city lost like $9 million on the Coyotes this year. Guess people didn't pay for parking. BUT AS A FORMER FIREFIGHTER I KNOW THOSE 19 FIREFIGHTERS THAT DIED IN A WILDFIRE LITERALLY YESTERDAY HAVE THE SAME COURAGE AS US TO KEEP THE COYOTES IN GLENDALE AND THEY'D WANT US TO VOTE YES or whatever

I've noticed a couple members have broken avatars (I get a broken image icon), which in turn screws up the front page and whatnot. Is this something on my end? I'm using Firefox 27.0.1 on my Mac, FWIW

Syracuse has a very long tradition of wearing navy in football. Other sports I agree with the point, but nobody seems to realize this when they go all "THEY'RE THE ORANGE THEY SHOULD BE WEARING ORANGE" when it comes to football (as in the jerseys. Pants and helmet should obviously be orange)

I don't think that's too much of an unpopular opinion among us Flyers fans. It's when they became the default away jersey that people (including me) had a problem with it. The Flyers are orange and black but that was a great alternate. Pretty much my opinion on them as well. They worked for an alternate pretty nicely, but it was overload when they adopted black as their full-time uniform for the entire 2000s. Don't think black would work too well with the current set for a recolor alt, however.

Here's one that I'm sure won't go over too well: I prefer alternates that are recolors over totally new designs (this does not apply towards baseball or soccer but certainly does for football, hockey, basketball, and other sports)

Here's one I haven't thrown out there, but will definitely be under the "unpopular opinion" criteria With the exception of the Boston Celtics and Celtic FC, in almost all cases I prefer a darker green to kelly green. Yes, that includes the Jets (if Nike could ever get the greens to match like they were prior to the 2012 takeover) and the Eagles. The Stars are in a shade darker than kelly too, right? I also think the Bucks are better off being a green/red team than a multi-green team.

For the most part, I think this is pretty spot-on. In fact, I think it's entirely accurate to say the northeast outgrew its need for college athletics quite some time ago... at least when it comes to the more "mainstream" sports like football and basketball. What interest there is in college athletics out there seems limited to sports like hockey and lacrosse, that never truly caught on in the rest of the country. Well, sorta. Basketball's still pretty big at a lot of schools (and I'm not just saying the Syracuses, UConns, Villanovas, and Pitts of the Northeast, but quite a few of the mid-majors too, especially with the Big East/Catholic 7 schools and the NYC/Philly schools). Football? Yeah, besides Penn State, which is more of a midwestern school anyway, it's by the wayside. At the FCS level, most of the schools that are dropping their teams are coming from the northeast, and really outside the Ivies and the Patriots there's only the CAA playing it. And then at the FBS level there's BC, Pitt, Rutgers, and Syracuse who are in the semi-relevant tier, followed by Temple, UConn, and UMass where it's always teetering on a debate whether or not they should field teams and focus elsewhere. tl/dr version: It applies for football, but college basketball's nowhere near dead in the Northeast. EDIT: also ppppppffffffffttttttttttttttttttttt (nobody besides PSU does anything in recruiting)

If I had a penny for every thread these days that gets locked at "Business of Hockey" for the loosest technicality of it not being "Business of Hockey," I'd be rich.

If the Sharks must go the "eliminate stripes to improve performance" route, I would've liked them to have a teal and white version of this (with updated logos and whathaveyou) The stripes on the sleeves they had with this are much better than traditional striping without any on the hems

So no more PARTY CITY FLORIDA PANTHERS PRESENTED BY YOUR SOUTH FLORIDA LEXUS DEALERS POST-GAME CELEBRATION (regardless of outcome) HAND MADE BY MOES' SOUTHWESTERN GRILL WELCOME TO MOEEESSS! CEELLLLEEEBBBRAAATTTEEEE GOOOOD TIMES, COME ON! AND LOOK WHO'S DANCING WITH STANLEY C. PANTHER AT THE ADT DANCE DECK SERVED BY BUD LIGHT, IT'S THE GEICO GECKO when this sale goes through?

That's exactly what I do anyway

On Long Island (and probably Metro-North and NJ Transit land) you get to pay to park before using public transportation!

Now that will go over quite well

Too bad the parking deal for the Arizona state parking lot means more than half the cars' parking fees go to a manager

Eight years. Because it. It's happening for sure. It's only been 6 months and already Mike Smith (MIKE SMITH!?!?) got a 6 year, 34 million dollar deal from the league owned team that doesn't have any money. Didn't you hear the RSE guy last night? Mike Smith's a future Vezena winner! and the best captain in the world Shane Doan! /KingsCoyotesHandshakeLine.mov goes here

THEY STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO MOTION ANYTHING yes I know it could've been made easier with a city manager but still holy crap

Yes, that :censored:ing Bon Ton at the huge mall in Syracuse is the most important thing at that mall because it's an anchor tenant based on this logic. Oh lord
