I remember when the rumors came out about that gradient Jags helmet back in 2013. Everyone thought it was gonna be like the early 2000s San Diego State helmet. Boy, how wrong were we?

 

Also, seeing the new Jets uniforms, I can't help but feel there's something missing from them. I can't put my finger on what, but they kind of feel incomplete. Maybe a small chest wordmark with the beautiful new updated logo. would do the trick. 

Okay, I shouldn't say this, but I kind of like it

  I'll say it. I love the Twins' new M  logo. It's all I wear now. Maybe it's because I'm an outstater that loves faux-backs, but it's fantastic. Completely grown on me. Love that we have it in the rotation.

These current Twins unis are the best they've ever had

Texans needed more red, not less…

"We won't rest until all 32 teams are navy blue dominant, as God intended" - someone in NFL corporate probably

I hope they get white helmets

    Mormonism is like if American exceptionalism was a religion. You gotta think they'd have guys in short sleeve dress shirts packing that stadium.  turn it into a temple. They'll watch America's game in droves    EDIT: not a shot at Mormons btw

They should just let Caesar's have the team and make the stadium a replica of the Roman Coliseum

        I love how one of the richest dudes to ever become a governor isnt a cartoonishlycorrupt dude who shills for private businesses over everything else.       not a singlepublically funded stadium has been a good investment for the state/city/  county that has done them. These guys want it both ways where they can cry poor, all while using their teams as a trophy. If you can't afford to build a new stadium, then you can't afford to have a sports franchise. PERIOD.    if I can't afford the upkeep of a boat, and I can't afford a new boat, I can't go crying to the government to buy me one. So why should these :censored:ers get hundreds of millions for their toys?    /endrant

  Why are people talking about the Twins moving all of a sudden?   Target Field rules and they're in a great location that's already connected to local transport infrastructure. I don't think moving to Bloomington would be a good idea. I love target field and if they ever move I'll be so sad

At least that's what my relatives from outstate that only ever go to Fargo and Sioux Falls say.    I for one can corroborate. Please don't move here so the housing prices stay reasonable             Also,typing on mobile still isn't fixed? Lmao

  Probably the best you can hopefor without the purple and teal. They seriously need to bring that back. I love AZ architecture when it's colorful with teals and purples. The red and black and sand just screams "suburban sprawl." The worst of AZ is found in the sandy, lifeless suburbs, the best is found in the small nooks and crannies people have used to survive this desert for centuries. AZ needs to embrace color as a whole state.  just the perspective of an outsider who's spent the past 4ish years in AZ and is preparing to go back to the Midwest

TheMinnea- in Minneapolis actually comes from the Dakota word for waterfall Mnihaha instead of the Dakota word for water mni (where the Minne- in Minnesota comes from) . The original  spelling of Minneapolis was Minnehapolis, meaning waterfall city. Named after the only waterfall on the Mississippi, which allowed the city to become the milling capital of the US.                 Also, someone please fix typing on mobile    

     No matter what mobile browser I use, typing is frustrating, because after a couple ofsentences, the thing just keeps jumping around, deleting random spaces, adding random spaces to the beginning of the post. I c    an't quote people because it keeps jumping back to the beginning of what ive been typing and deleting it. Ithas really made using the site less enjoyable. It's been happening for a while, and I just assumed it was my browser.      I'm not sure if there's a fix. 

       It’s made all the more stupid that the team’s named after a freaking  state and could just have easily been the Minneapolis Vikings if not to appease Little Brother Across the Mississippi.                           I tried to quote @LMU but the     mobile site is messed up  and keeps randomly deleting stuff.                  as a fan of the first two teams to use a state for its name, I'm fine with teams choosing their geographic marker                As long as it's obvious what state(s*) the team is in                     * see Carolina Panthers            

        Honestly, if the broncos wanted to use that helmet after a rebrand and fill the white-orange-white gap In the uniform landscape that's been missing since the bucs dropped Bruce, I'd be completely fine with it

 The helmet itself, in a vacuum, is fiiiiiiiine(ish?) But the whole look is garbage 

In a vacuum I like them (My HS was royal blue and black). Do I think its needed? No. But at this point I consider anything that isn't a dumpster fire a win
