  1. That race was fantastic. Don't change a damn thing about the tire. Driver skill actually mattered for the first time in a long time and it showed with Hamlin, Truex, and Keselowski taking the podium. By the end of the race, drivers were getting 60-70 laps on those tires and especially now that teams can prepare for it you'll see the stronger, better preserved tires next time. I have to wonder - with the calls for increased horsepower, maybe there's another way to get what the fans want. I think the stiff, aero-dependent car bodies are actually the biggest problem. Part of what made NASCAR of the 80s and 90s so great was that the cars were basically giant boxes being wheeled at crazy high speeds. Take the nerds away from the aero sims and let the cars be ill-handling. With some compromise from the involved parties (Chevy/Ford/Toyota, NASCAR, engine makers, Goodyear) maybe we can weaken the aero and tires just a bit and bump up the HP slightly, to say, 750, and then we'd see better racing?
  2. Those scripts are fantastic. I'd love to see any one of them in the brand full-time. I like the top-left, although it might work better as a secondary sleeve patch. I like the top right could work with a little more refining. "Hurricanes" is such a bad name that's so hard to visualize as a logo. I'd rather they go to focusing on the double warning flag than the hurricane symbol, I think it's easier to work with.
  3. Pretty boring, not going to lie. I was hoping it would be more like the gold Cadillacs that have been running in IMSA. 23XI says the car will run three times with three different drivers, presumably with the same livery.
  4. The jersey says "global game". A little on the nose and in a boring font, too. I get the appeal of wanting to wear something with Japanese on it but I've always felt the language doesn't lend itself to that very well. Love the navy and pink, though. Always a great color combo.
  5. It's become the new "thing" starting with RFK last season. I hate it, I think it clutters the hood, but my guess is sponsors like it because it gives them even more visibility at those low angles.
  6. Sure, but they're also using the wrong logo for the Warriors, so I'm not sure I'd take this as definitive proof.
  7. Agreed, which is why the original Boston Patriots look is best.
  8. Baseball uniform with matching caps and socks are so gorgeous. The matching apple green gear is just *chef's kiss*. Can't be topped.
  9. In cases like this, I wish teams would place a wordmark there. The kit is empty without something in that stripe.
  10. Yep, exactly. I live in LA so I can't speak for the Bay Area but it's been raining nearly every weekend here for the past month or so. Much less likely to rain in the summer.
  11. From what I've heard, it has to do with fan amenities - during the spring the area is marshy and would make tailgating/navigating the track tough. I would love to see Sonoma as part of the West Coast swing, personally.
  12. Unfortunately the 49ers redesign comes across as change for change's sake and I don't think it adds to the look at all, especially the use of black, which is entirely superfluous. I don't think the Niners needed any changes, but the changes that were made don't feel particularly necessary. If you're going to change them, I'd like to see a more bold look. The changes to Arizona's color scheme makes it better. I'd still like to see the sleeve and pants stripe match.
  13. Kaulig's yellow roof numbers continue to tank otherwise solid schemes. They need to either drop them or at the bare minimum design around them.
  14. I wish they had done this reconfig to Texas instead of Atlanta. At the bare minimum it would be better than what Texas puts on now. But this type of racing is stretched to its absolute limit with 6 races, there's no need for even more.
  15. Absolutely fantastic. Easily one of the best sets in the NBA. It's very Twins, but I think the Twins have the best set in MLB so that's a good thing. I agree with some of the things said, the wordmarks should be white on the colored jerseys instead of the numbers, more powder blue would be great, the compass is probably one element too many in the primary, but on the whole, this is such a massive upgrade that I'm more than willing to overlook the minor errors. Fantastic work from Doubleday and Cartwight & Wolff.
  16. I mostly like the changes you've made here. The sleeve stripes are really cool but I'm not super feeling the pants stripe. I wish they were just the sleeve stripes but on the pants. I think the secondary logo isn't really necessary either. I'm not sure why you kept the yellow beak when you're already adding that copper color - maybe just replacing the beak would be good? The number font is fine, but I think a block font would be better. The unique collar shape beneath the NFL logo is a nice touch. I'm looking forward to seeing more teams!
  17. I don't know what the solution is for FOX but something has got to change. I find myself watching races on mute because of how obnoxious their broadcast is. It's mostly Clint's fault, although their camerawork and director also needs to step it up. Onboard shots are cool, but they can't be the main way the audience watches the race. Wider shots that show more of the action are necessary.
  18. I'll also switch Carolina for Memphis
  19. The 5 and 48 look great, the 9 is really nice aside from the UniFirst green in the number, and the 24 looks embarrassing. Yuck. EDIT: Nevermind, just saw a picture of them in real life. They all look great.
