  1. Sorry, I didn't read all that... I was was too busy staring at the best uniform in football. But I don't see the Green Bay Packers' uniforms here. Nope, you sure don't.
  2. Sorry, I didn't read all that... I was was too busy staring at the best uniform in football. Hey, can you tell me what you find attractive about this uniform? No sarcasm at all here, I'm honestly curious. Not everything can be handwaved as "personal opinion," and I wonder just what it is that you and others see that I don't? Sure. To me, one of the absolute hallmarks of design (and one that's being blown out of the water in the current climate of sports design) is economy. Along with symmetry, variety, harmony, etc., economy is one of the basic principles of organization. I tell me students all the time, if you can tell the story with 5 lines, sometimes that's all you need. (But usually, they just keep drawing anyway.) Just like writing, cooking... hell, anything, there's a point when you've nailed it, and anything added is just superfluous filler, cluttering up the perfect statement. Of course, its personal preference... I say "simple and complete", you say "plain and lacking" but by my standards of design (no, not just "nostalgia".... the 60's Falcons don't mean anything to me) this is perfect.

  4. OK, yes, this is the very definition of an unpopular opinion. I have a question about this logo, maybe someone can help me. What is that thing that forms the crossbar of the "A" supposed to be? At first I thought it was trying to be a halo, but that makes no sense... it's physically attached to the wing. So WTF is it?
  5. More tiresome than wearing the same navy blue hat as a third of the other teams in baseball wear?
  6. Unpopular? I don't know. But these is not only the padres best look, its in the top 25 best uniforms in MLB history.
  7. I'm fairly certain the vast majority of people would laugh at you and throw the card in the air as they walk away.
  8. Unpopular opinion: That's an amazing uniform. The Astros should go back to it full-time. Exactly my opinion. No lie. It's amazing.Isn't this a popular opinion? The tequila sunrise uniforms were greatHappy happy
  9. So, you don't actually know any musicians, do you? Correction: I was referring to the very famous musicians that complain about how they're not getting there cut from people that illegally download music. I see your point on the unfamous musicians that are loosing money. But the jersey complainers, well, that makes no sense to me. Well, the point carries over. Just like music, you can focus on the big time performer and say who cares, but it's the thousands of struggling working people that are getting screwed on the illegal download transaction. And the same is true of any IP situation. You think Phil Knight is going hungry over counterfeit jerseys? Yeah, sure, he looks out the window of his private jet and yawns. But somebody is getting screwed... money isn't created or destroyed, its only exchanged. Venders, truck drivers, warehouse employees... go tell a guy working on a loading dock at a Nike warehouse about how rough it is that you don't want to pay full price for a luxury item, so it's not your fault.

  11. Replace the black drop shadows with a thin black outline and I agree. I can't stand the Niners' current look, black outlines really need to be a part of the Niners' look to me (because of the logo). They also need pants that at least try to match the helmet color. Ugh, it muddies up their scheme too much. The red and gold work beautifully together, throwing in black just makes it look gross. It doesn't need to be in there just because its in the logo. The Steelers don't need to add red and blue because its in their logo. I agree the black was completely unnecessary, and just junked up the whole look, but to me, the dark red was just as bad of a decision. How anybody could prefer it to the classic cherry red is beyond me. What a period for NFL uniforms... logo on the sleeves? Check. Repeat logo on hip? Check. Add black? Check. Darken primary color? Check. Add in oversized drop shadow numbers and you have a textbook example of full-blown 90's nonsense.
  12. I hate this uniform for 2 basic reasons. First, to this very day, I can't see it without picturing Michael Vick electrocuting a dog, a secondly THIS... ...is so unspeakably, supernaturally, inarguably gorgeous it makes me spontaneously break out in tears every time I see it.
  13. Why? I like the Ram's look. I wish they get the helmets right. I will show you which Ram's look really sucks the most. ^ That one sucks the most. The nylon type khaki color pants with navy blue looks so dead, I don't even watch the Rams games much anymore because of this dreaded look. I like those pants 100000x more than the blue pants, and I don't really like the white pants either. You really stopped watching a team just because of the uniforms? I buy Sunday Ticket every year just to be able to watch the Rams, so I would've understood if you'd have said their play over the past decade has turned you off. But the unis? Their stadium, their whole plays, their uniforms, etc really do suck ass big time. More Rams that were cool before the Navy and Gold crap. Royal and athletic gold beats navy and beige, in any version. However, my favorite royal and athletic gold rams uniform is this. And before anyone says that the NFL wouldn't let the Rams wear gold as a dark jersey... let me remind you of this: And speaking of unpopular opinions... I like that Eagle throwback, too.,
  14. Sorry... found it. Google search (as always) is our friend.
  15. Anybody know what font is used for the credits on "Archer"?
  16. You could fill volumes with how wrong you are... You must have forgotten what an opinion is... It's a terribly lame jersey in my opinion. Agreed. This, along with the Cowboys' 90's huge-ass star jerseys, has a weird but loyal following. I've never gotten the love for those looks, but tastes do vary, I guess. Too me, if you love this jersey (and that Dallas double star thing) you should also love the Iowa jersey with the bananas on the shoulders and Wisconsin's "motion W" / NY Jets mash up. They're all cut from the same design cloth.
  17. Flip flop the top two, and I agree completely.
  18. I agree with both of these. The Sharks started out with a really nice set in their first few seasons, but that went to hell pretty quickly with changes. And adding that unique yellow/orange brought some life back (what can I say... I like color), at least with the teal jersey version. Last I saw they screwed it up again by switching to black as a primary. And the Lightning uniforms have always blown. Those logos above are terrible. And I absolutely HATE royal blue and black together... tried over and over, never suscessfully IMO.
  19. This one is just too hard for me to fully ignore. Not because you're not entitled to your own opinion, but because those are the only uniforms I use for the Seahawks when I play Madden. Those things are beauts. I wish the Seahawks still used the silver britches exclusively, even now. Their home look would shoot up a number of levels. Yes, from projectile vomit-inducing all the way up to mildly nauseating.
  20. I'm listening to the Rams / Packers game on TV from the next room over... why is the crowd (in St. Louis!) going crazy every time the Packers have a good play?
