The 2001 Kings wore their primary black uniforms on the road throughout the playoffs until Round 2 Game 7 against the Avs, when they broke out their purple alternates

 

When doing research for past playoff brackets for some graphics I made for Twitter, I noticed there was some loose following of the one-alt rule in 2001. Sabres also wore their red alts for one game and one game only against the Flyers and otherwise had the black primaries the other games

Not for nothing, and I have no clue what the Diamondbacks' park looks like, but sometimes those upper level seats are the best in the house.

 

Or at least that's been my experience, Fenway notwithstanding. 

Not to send this topic way-off, but I'm planning a trip to Fenway next summer and I was considering doing the rooftop seats on the 1st base line as it's above the obstructed view level area and gets you the Green Monster always in view (and take it from experience, doing the SkyDome and having the CN Tower always in view by sitting on the 3rd base line was *chef's kiss*). Guessing it's better off sticking to the lower level?

Love how Seattle's came out. Vegas is all going to depend on the breezers, gloves, and socks. If they go all white it's going to look bad, but if they have grey or gold in there they can make a good look out of it

This was kinda discussed in the logo thread, but having a de facto Maryland alumni team play their home games at Homewood would be so sacrilegious that it would be absolutely hilarious and I fully expect that to be the case

Normally I'd say going from royal to navy would be part of that 90s trend, but it makes sense for the Patriots to have stuck with it

Watching some games last night made me realize ESPN's had their current college basketball package since 2017-18 now. Man that needs to be updated (and the theme song scrapped to go back to the 2004-10 one)

That's kinda the wild thing about the late 80s and early 90s where CBS and NBC were cranking out new theme songs like every year. Hard to imagine in this day and age where the youngest theme of the primary 4 broadcasters is NBC's for all intents and purposes (ignore the remixes and whatnot) at 17 years and that's been around since they got SNF

I'd be curious to know the source of the Fox comments you speak of, but either way ESPN's gradual decrease in baseball coverage is the bigger issue anyway for the sport.

Sure, came from an earnings call from Lachlan Murdoch this week. Not as damning as ESPN's no-sell, but still not great

I think the new rule changes have been a big win, as I've watched more non-Mets postseason baseball in a long while with how the pace of the game's been. But the playoff system, as much as everyone wants to argue otherwise, is a bit too borked. People who go all "But you guys all like March Madness with the random upsets, right?!" have failed to realize the big diminishing returns the NCAA Tournament has had from the Sweet 16 onward in recent years and that's showing up now with this new MLB format. And the NFL, NBA, and NHL all have more teams, but things tend to work out in the end with the champs usually being towards the top anyway. The Wild Card round's clearly giving an advantage to the teams that win it, and it hasn't exactly given us too much drama with 7 out of the 8 series being 2 game sweeps. I think if you recalibrate that back to one game playoffs, things even out a bit while still providing two extra markets the excitement of postseason ball.

The bigger concern, though, is probably the TV partner end. ESPN floating around that 2025 opt-out isn't a good sign, and nor has this past month where ESPN has hyped up NHL Opening Night and the 16 game night about 8 times more than they had their own exclusive window of the Wild Card round. It screams NHL on ESPN circa 2003 and buddy, that isn't going to end well. Combine that with Fox's comments this week on how baseball's... there while lauding the NFL/BiG nOOn SaTurDaY/NASCAR side of things and the RSN bubble bursting and, boy, that could get real ugly across the board in a few years. The RSN mess is already set in stone, but if you get ESPN opting out and Fox pulling a USGA contract on MLB that's gonna be a tough sell to find a taker for those national packages.

Having actually witnessed football in the 1990s, I can tell you there was nothing special about those Seahawks unis. Them changing to the Hassleback colors and unis was applauded at the time. And what they wear now, while a bit too modern-ish, is just as good if not better than the Dave Krieg unis.

Hey now, I'm not that young, I've watched plenty of football in the 90s

But yeah, it's fine, but frankly I'm not looking for returning to these as a full time look

I feel like the Seahawks' throwbacks looked better in the publicity shoots than the field. I felt the reason it never popped back in the day was because it was in the Kingdome, but the blue still doesn't pop off that much in the sun. I think it's probably because of the emphasis on silver and how that look made green the third color while it's more second in the hierarchy in the Nike era. It's still a good look, but maybe a little underwhelming after the build up to it.
