But wait, there's more! 

 

I don't think this was posted yet but this is going to be interesting in light of how Florida State feels about the ACC lately.

Germany joins Canada and Brazil in going out in the group stage. Crazy tournament! Truly no idea who the favorite could be at this point.

The first time Germany fail to pass the Group Stage

I didn’t see a 23/24 thread so I thought I’d start it with new uniforms for Wisconsin

 

compared to last year’s

No side stripes on the jerseys and shorts, updated collar and sleeve stripes, and the W/state logo on the back collar. Really good upgrade. 

 

Also, the Under Armour logo is on the collar instead of the chest which might be a thing to watch out for other UA schools 

Not sure I have seen that W logo with the state before. New logo?

Yeah the M looks too close to the now old Brewers M cap logo

This is some pathetic history revisionism from the Chargers:

Hmmm where have I seen that style of logo before from a team with the initials LAC..

 

I was sleeping when the game happened as of obviously most of America since it happened on a weekday, and from what it sounded like, good thing I slept lol

First thought when I saw the new Temple logo was it resembles the alternate Ravens one from 96-98 that had to be replaced

I can see the resemblance, it's just the Raven's a tad bit more detailed

One of the Sideline Cap offerings for 2023. Why people thought this was a good idea? Don't know.

 

Now they need a propeller

Canisius College is now University starting today. The new academic mark was unveiled in early June and features the legendary Griffin, the mythological king of birds and beasts and the official mascot since 1933, at the top of the shield.

 

A decade after St. Peter's in Jersey City (another Jesuit college in the MAAC) became university status. Canisius Elite Eight run in 2032?

US will also be without Rose Lavelle in tbe Round of 16 match which could possibly be against Sweden

Temple has a new logo that will be used for academics and athletics. The T logo is now over a flying owl and both surrounded by a shield.

@TrueYankee26 Love the alignments. Although, if it was me, I would change some of the town names for those that are repeatables, and replace with towns or cities close to the main city market.

 

For instance: Fort Lauderdale or Boca Raton [MIA], Long Island [NYJ], Columbus [CIN], Erie [PIT], Victoria or Austin or San Antonio [HOU], Fort Wayne [IND], Memphis instead of Knoxville [TEN], Colorado Springs or Fort Collins or Boulder [DEN], Reno [LV], Fort Worth or Arlington [DAL], Brooklyn [NYG], Gainesville (Ga.) or Athens [ATL], Tempe or Tucson [ARIZ], Anaheim [LAR], and San Jose [SF].

 

Your thoughts?

I had some of those cities in mind for the 2nd D-League lol, but I will use your suggestions

I got that major itch for creating pointless realignments again

But with only 3 superconferences? Also good luck to all of those in terms of fair & balanced schedule format (depending on the sport being sponsored), even to find their fair share of permanent rivals plus the randoms for a x-year span.

More like 2.5, Big 12 get the "best of the rest"

Basically you're admitting that it's now money who gets to dictate how college sports should be the way from how those with power want. If that's the case, good job and hope they are proud of themselves.

Not only that.

 

Superconferences will be the end game, with Big 10 and 12 gobbling up their choice of Pac 12 schools, Big 10 and SEC getting the ACC schools they want, and the rest are left behind.

I think all of the four corner schools find their way to the XII.

Bundesliga2 started today and the first game out the chute was a doozy! Hamburg 5-3 Schalke 04!! EPL starts next Friday. 

Still weird hearing that. Hamburg and Schalke being 2 Bundesliga clubs lol. It would feel like Arsenal and Everton being in the Championship.

Him winning a Super Bowl (which won’t happen) is the only way to make this a right uniform for him. Brett favre doesn’t have the jets or Vikings as his right uniform despite playing multiple seasons for them.

Good point about Favre
