  1. Wait … who exactly is America’s team, here?
  2. So Michigan has to go the next three games without Harbaugh stumbling around the sidelines with that dopey confused look on his donkey face? So where exactly is the punishment?
  3. Every time Louisville is on TV I’m stunned at how terrible they look. It seems like every time they’re wearing something brand new I’ve never seen before and it’s inevitably just as awful as the last thing I saw them wearing. What a dumpster fire of a visual brand. They need to start over with that big goofy bird they have painted at midfield and burn everything that came before.
  4. Forget the conspiracy theories about the Chiefs. Somebody tell me why the Cowboys seem to get to play the Giants about 4 times a year.
  5. Doesn't it seem like the Cowboys play the Giants about 4 times a year? Carolina vs. Chicago Indianapolis vs. New England Cleveland vs. Baltimore Green Bay vs. Pittsburgh San Francisco vs. Jacksonville New Orleans vs. Minnesota Houston vs. Cincinnati Tennessee vs. Tampa Bay Detroit vs. LA Chargers Atlanta vs. Arizona NY Giants vs. Dallas Washington vs. Seattle NY Jets vs. Las Vegas Denver vs. Buffalo
  6. The Lions were making no attempt to match the grays. They actually have two different hues of gray in their color scheme. Even on the blue jersey, the numbers are light gray with a dark gray outline. So their alternate jersey isn't supposed to match the helmet. The helmet is supposed to match the lighter gray pants/numbers/stripes of the blue jersey, not the darker gray alt jersey. Sure, it sucks, but not because the grays accidentally don't match... that's on purpose. It sucks because it was/is a terrible idea. Ohio State is attempting to use the same gray throughout. If you don't think it works, that's more a function of the plastic painted helmet gray not looking the same as the fabric jersey/pants gray. So it's just another example (of hundreds) where the helmet color and the uniform color read as slightly different. It has absolutely nothing in common with the Lions' mismatch.
  7. Lions gray jersey does not = Buckeyes gray jersey.
  8. First, I’ll state again that I believe the current Seahawks logo is a stronger mark for a football team than the original. But, how exactly are we supposed to let it slide that you would claim the logo designed by the Native American artist who studied multiple specific cultural references and delivered a logo that embodied the history of the region is somehow lazier than the logo that someone came up with by taking that original mark, shaving off all the specific native aesthetics, and making it generically meaner? Seeing how the original design came about and calling it lazy just starts to feel like full on trolling at this point.
  9. The original logo was really cool because it directly referenced Northwest Native-American art. Meaning... directly referenced it. It was blocky and raw in an intensional way. You cn see it in the thumbnails and iterations it went thru... I think the current logo is a better sports logo, specifically (despite the cliched angry bird look) but there was something cool about the old one that's been lost.
  10. I agree that slate blue uniform was better than what they currently wear. If they had worn them blue over white like this... ...it would've been a perfectly serviceable early 2000's update. (That was when pretty much every team dumped their better looking color schemes for something dark and kewl.) But it's hard for me to see the sombre blue as somehow more boring than their original color scheme, even with that bad Kingdome lighting. Still it's better than what they wear now, just based on the idea that boring monochrome is superior to ugly monochrome.
  11. Yeah, I was being sarcastic. I’m absolutely positive that when the Seahawks went from that gorgeous Royal and Kelly color scheme to the depressing dull blue pajama look it wasn’t just me and you who considered that to be a major step back.
  12. Two things. First, of course the modern cut of uniforms make it less possible to simply import an old design forward. I’m assuming that when most people say that a team should just wear their throwback permanently they mean an updated version. The Chargers are a perfect example. They obviously started with the idea that the 60’s look was great starting point and updated the parts that wouldn’t still work as well. When I say a team needs to return to an old look this is what I mean. Secondly, it’s obviously a case by case thing. Some teams have a throwback that’s fun to see once or twice a year but should probably just stay in that category. (San Francisco, Detroit, the Giants, Dallas, Tampa Bay, New England.) Other teams would be smart to use their clearly superior older uniforms as a jumping off point for a modern update. (Tennessee, the Jets, Miami, Minnesota, Philadelphia, Seattle, Atlanta.)
  13. Tennessee vs. Pittsburgh Miami vs. Kansas City Minnesota vs. Atlanta Chicago vs. New Orleans LA Rams vs. Green Bay Washington vs. New England Seattle vs. Baltimore Tampa Bay vs. Houston Arizona vs. Cleveland Indianapolis vs. Carolina NY Giants vs. Las Vegas Dallas vs. Philadelphia Buffalo vs. Cincinnati LA Chargers vs. NY Jets
  14. Well, after everyone pretty much forgetting again that the Colorado Buffaloes even exist, I bet that they didn’t expect to get back in the headlines by having their copious amounts of jewelry stolen from the locker room while they were taking their latest beating. Can’t make this stuff up.
  15. Agreed. The Cowboys' usual occasional navy blue outfit is just boring. Consistent, but boring. But the navy jersey over the (totally unnecessary) white pants is boring, top-heavy, and slapped together. The standard white is a jumble of too many colors, but at least they look like the Cowboys. I repeat... the only Cowboy colors they need...
