I always really liked the Bears-Colts pairing in XLI. Two classic uniforms grinding it out in the pouring rain gives me an old-school football feeling

Washington's first three appearances are all great matchups

VII - The only time in their five appearances that they wore red, my favorite uniform Washington has ever worn

XVII - The opposite of their previous matchup with Miami. When I was a kid I had in my mind that the 80s were defined by the Phins and the Skins. I don't know why, but I did

XVIII - The very next year gives us their best looking matchup. Speaks for itself

A logo for a jersey retirement?  Are the Blues wearing it on their jerseys for the game? I don't understand

Good riddance loser

"CHAMPS"

Switching from a white to a navy helmet was the only good thing about Tennessee's uniform overhaul

Super Bowl 5

Super Bowl 41

When was the other one?

I'm talking about the Baltimore era. They won the 1958 & 1959 NFL Championships

At this point, the Colts having been in Baltimore feels like a historical oddity

Let's not get carried away here lol, They won three championships and were captained by an arguable top 5 all-time QB, as well as being participants in Super Bowl III (which is arguably the most important in history), and winning the first post-merger Super Bowl

Just want to throw out props for being one of the first times I’ve ever seen people outside of Baltimore acknowledge the fact that Baltimore had their team ripped away from them too. Everyone seems to conveniently forget that point. 
 

On another note, I haven’t been this glad to see a Ravens season end since the one where Flacco tore his ACL and we ended up with a top 10 pick (2015? I think?). There has been very little joy in watching this team the last month and a half. Lost 6 straight to close out the year and 5 of those were by 3 points or less. Ridiculously bad close game execution. No Lamar for the last month. It’ll be nice to watch NFL football without having to worry too much about who’s winning, although the Steelers getting in really throws a damper on that. They seem like a slam dunk one-and-done but if anyone can pull an undeserved, referee-assisted playoff win out of their you-know-where, it’s the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Well the city and state governments tried to eminent domain Irsay's private business from him so it's not as cut and dry as other relocations.

Now they just need to stop matching the blacks socks with the black pants

That is a possibility, along with perhaps a BFBS version as well. 

Black helmets to mirror the black hat in the logo might work

He'll get in just because he will, but I agree that he doesn't belong there.  Had he never played a down, nothing would be any different.  That doesn't mean simply that he didn't win a championship - there's plenty of HOF-worthy QBs that didn't win a title (Marino for example) but Rivers just never "mattered", for lack of a better word.  Part of that may have been that he played in non-premiere markets, part may just be his personality, but it doesn't matter.  I don't think anyone ever thought that Rivers was really a threat to win a title or had some ridiculous skill that you just had to stop what you were doing to watch him play. 

 

EDIT: I'd personally put Donovan McNabb in before Philip Rivers despite not being the objectively better QB, and I don't think McNabb is a HOFer, but I have higher standards than the hall, which seems to be more of a Hall of Stats than a Hall of Fame.

You don't have to look at this intangibly, his lack of success and accolades speak for themselves. No All Pros, no MVPs, no SB appearances, and a losing record in the playoffs does not get a QB in the Hall. He has a notably worse resume than Ken Anderson who is seemingly never getting in, so until Ken does there's no need to worry whether Rivers will.  Hell, he has a worse resume than Matt Ryan.

Well unless the NFL plans to host the SB in Lima OH I don't think we'll have to concern ourselves with the first part of that. That said, we WILL now have to be subjected to endless amounts of Big Been slathering from like all the media talking heads, to include the no-doubt "surefire first-ballot HoF talk because SUPERB OWLZ!!!321" and all that...then pine over just how great a career he's had and all the hero worship that'll come with it. (To be sure, though, dude is like in the top 10 of just about every passing category there is...buy serious question: if he had played and accomplished all his individual stats in a place like, say, Cincinnati or Jacksonville, would people still be "convinced" he's a HoFer at all, let alone a "surefire first-ballot" HoFer? We all know that black and yellow carries a whole lotta weight in Canton.) 

 

It is at this point we cease all discussion and reference to the overly obvious Detroit Screwjob that was SBXL...nope, not gonna go there. 

The only QB with 2 SB wins not in the HOF is Jim Plunkett, and Ben is 10x the quarterback Plunkett ever was. He'd get in anywhere, most likely first ballot. Being a Steeler just seals it

Well Phillip rivers is a boarder line first ballot hall of famer

Rivers would be luckiest QB ever if he gets in the Hall at all

In hindsight we should have known LA would screw up their new uniforms, with how happily they wore an intentionally mismatching trash uni like that

There is a fine line between classy and chintzy, and the gold on the Nats logo falls into the latter for me.

The gold used in the All Star logo works with all the other colours and doesn't overwhelm them, the shade the team uses now is a different kettle of fish.

1965... 1985... 2014 

The skating penguin is probably the best "mascot playing the sport" logo there is and should always be the primary

It’ll be hard to top any of the hideous matchups already posted.

 

So here’s the worst Super Bowl in history.

I don't hate New England's dynasty unis, but given how every SB not involving them is a good matchup, Super Bowl LI has to take the cake

In my opinion this was the only bad looking Super Bowl ever, and even then it still looked fine from a distance. But once you get up close, well..

I like that Seahawks uni

Maybe not militaristic or jingoistic, but this is pretty gross:

 

What am I supposed to be seeing here

Baltimore is obscenely lucky to even be over .500 at this point after KC, Indy, and Detroit/the refs spotted them three wins. I don't blame Harbaugh for trying to keep luck on his side

We should bring back freaking out about the Reds because it reminds us of communists. I know some people who live in countries that were under the Iron Curtain, I can recruit them to start following baseball and protesting the name to further our cause

Giants is offensive to Jose Altuve

I think going with the Texas moniker despite Houston already having a team is a hilarious power move. The Angels doing the same thing with California is even better

It's so funny that the peak of Urban Meyer's tenure in Jacksonville was Chris Jericho weaponizing his laptop
