Probably not before playoffs though? And I'm guessing they'd want to do it after the super bowl. So I'm not sure how soon "very soon" actually is

I'm surprised the Generals are back, given the brands connection to a certain former social media influencer that caused the league to go under the first time

ASU with a military appreciation uniform

I think the road uniforms are a big upgrade. Block lettering is superior for longer names and 2 word names IMO

The Twins definitely have never had a truly terrible primary uniform like some other teams. Everything has been solid to mediocre. The current uniform is really just *meh*. We also haven't had anything super outstanding either, but I'll take it. We've really been spoiled as Twins fans a bit

The acquisition of Florida puts John Quincy Adams solidly in the bottom 5 presidents

Typing doesn't work on mobile for me. I need to type into the notes app and then paste it into the browser

Someone told me it had to do with how old baseball cards looked or something. Like a navy and red team would look more royal and pinkish in the cards graphics. I doubt the color scheme is changing

They never wore them during my lifetime so I have no nostalgia for them. They just look better than the Eli era stuff

I do understand it's not about culture or basketball appeal or what feels right. I was just stating my opinion as a guy who grew up on the edge of the great plains watching the Big 10. God forbid I give my opinion from a fans perspective on what I'd like the conference to do, even if I know it probably won't happen. Not everyone with an opinion is an idiot that doesn't understand what's going on if the opinion/hope isn't in line with what's probably gonna happen

Kansas and Iowa State to the B1G feels right. Having Hawkeyes vs Cyclones as a conference rivalry game will just make it way more intense. Plus Kansas would really bolster the conferences basketball appeal. They at least make more sense than Maryland and Rutgers did from a cultural perspective

FIFY. Mainline (progressive) protestants want nothing to do with them

I can't wait for the 2030s when the SEC gets obliterated by some bone headed Texan rube

College sports as we know them are gonna change for the worse. It's one thing to have unprecedented dynasties, it's another to obliterate the regional aspect of conferences to jam as many good programs as possible into a conference

Would losing A&M be worth it if they get UT and OU? I'd certainly think so. Leaves room for OK State

They left their parents at age 14 in search of a better life. Eventually they take up an apprenticeship with a master designer and toil away for years, perfecting their craft. Eventually, when they're good enough, they try to join the local guild and set up their own sports branding design shop. As it has been done since the 1600s on this continent

Nvm

Honestly having a prepped contingency might have looked even worse from a PR perspective. Imagine the years of ignoring protests only for them to have a fully formed alternative ready the entire time. That would have been conceding they knew it was wrong all those years.

Riots

There were riots. But race riot has a certain connotation within certain circles for certain purposes that I hope you aren't trying to convey

You're right. But you also can't bar people from thinking it's dumb to do so in certain situations. The Ravens would look dumb with a purple helmet and some people would probably think they copied the Vikings. If they want to put a cluster:censored: on the field, more power to them

It would be like if the Patriots wore a navy helmet and looked like the Texans, or Bills wore a blue helmet and looked like the Giants. Just because you can because it's a main color, doesn't mean you should

They've also only had a black helmet since day one. And the Vikings have had a purple jersey and purple helmet since day one in 1960. Obviously a team can't own a color but it's ridiculous to think that if the Vikings made a black helmet or Ravens made a purple one that it wouldn't look like they're copying each other when they have such a similar color scheme. Vikings should have a purple helmet and shouldn't try out a black one, and the Ravens should have a black helmet and avoid a purple one.

Idk what in sports history would be weirder than the Medicine Hat A's

Inside sources have confirmed to me that the Las Vegas Raiders will wear black jerseys and the Minnesota Vikings will have horns on their helmet for the upcoming season. I know you guys won't believe me but I expect you all to grovel before me when the season starts
