I don't love the Eagles current look, but I don't understand all the hype around the throwback. The shade of green is nice I guess, but beyond that there isn't much I like. The old eagle logo is way too horizontal & overly detailed. From a distance it looks terrible. The jersey also has nothing going on. It's just a plain green t-shirt with the logo slapped on the sleeve. The colour balance is completely off too. The helmet is green, silver, and white, with no black anywhere. The jersey is green, black, and white, with no silver anywhere. I think the '70s/'80s set is miles better than this one. Let the Jets be the lighter green & black team. The Eagles should use a darker green (not midnight) and silver combo.

Not a fan of the way the yoke outline cuts across the collar. It looks like they accidentally sewed the logo onto the back of the jersey.

How is the NBA even allowing that Nuggets jersey? Don't they have a rule against numbers on a jersey that aren't the players'? I thought that's why every 76ers jersey has used 'SIXERS' or 'PHILA' on the front instead of the actual nickname.

The 2007 All Star Game was the debut of the Edge uniforms. You can see what they were hoping to do based on how the side panels matched up with the pants.

The inability to use hem stripes didn't affect whether or not teams got their jerseys to match. Teams like the Sens & Caps were at least smart enough to use the opportunity to go from mis-matching uniforms to a cohesive set, even if it wasn't on a traditional template.

The overall quality of the HNIC broadcast has gone down over the years, but they always manage to kill it with the montages. I'm part of the camp that has no problem with the Bedard stuff. The NHL knew what they were doing with the schedule. Him vs. Sid on opening night, followed by his first trips to Boston, Montreal, and Toronto, then against MacKinnon & the Avs on ESPN. After the Hawks home opener next week I'm sure we'll see it die down a bit, at least until the first Bedard-McDavid matchup in December. The people who are adamant that putting a team back in Quebec City would be a resounding success are trying real hard to ignore this.

I'm not sure how he thinks acting like an unprofessional child is going to help him get traded sooner. At this point I can't imagine anyone is offering Philly any sort of substantial package for him, and this is just going to make it worse. If I'm the Sixers I'd just let him sit out the year out of spite.

The Wild & Thrashers both made the same mistake when the league switched over to the Reebok Edge jerseys. They took a popular alternate jersey, made it look worse with the new template, promoted it to the home jersey, but inexplicably didn't make the road jersey match. Atlanta wasn't quite as bad, since both jerseys at least used the same logo & font, but both teams should've taken a page out of Columbus's book.

I wouldn't have expected such a nuanced take on jerseys from an athlete, but he's spot on. Teams have clearly exhausted all their good ideas by now, so they're either just coming up with bland designs or milking their go-to city designs dry.

Pretty much every alternate jersey ever created has been a money grab. We just had 2 different iterations of the Reverse Retro program, which was about as blatant of a money grab as we've seen. That doesn't necessarily make the jerseys bad. The Whalers are never coming back, and Hartford won't ever be getting another team, so I don't have a major issue with the Canes doing the odd throwback night. It's the only chance we'll have to see it on the ice. The Oilers/Titans situation is a little different since the NFL also happens to have another team in Houston. The Dallas Stars could use North Stars throwbacks if they wanted, but they're wise enough to leave that for the team that actually plays in the Twin Cities. Much like the 25th anniversary, I'm sure the fans would be happier to just see the team bring back the throwbacks. Except this means that fans who already own Mighty Ducks jerseys likely won't bother buying a new one. Coming up with these franken-backs still manages to scratch the Disney itch, while also encouraging fans to buy new jerseys.

Well they've already done it for both their road games so far this season.

The Commanders really need to bring back their old pants stripe.

It was nice to cheer for a team that didn't have a jersey ad, but I knew this was inevitable. I hate justifying it, but at least it's just a small, single-colour logo. When I heard it would be CIBC I was expecting the red rectangle patch.

One of the biggest complaints about the NHL is that they don't do a good enough job of marketing their stars, especially in the States. Now they have an incredibly marketable star player who happens to be in one of the biggest American markets, and everyone seems to be complaining about seeing him everywhere. This isn't Taylor Swift being shown on every NFL broadcast, it's an actual player on the ice. Bedard is already looking incredibly comfortable out there, and the Hawks have decided to run their whole offense through him. You better get used to seeing him, because he's the real deal.

This was better than the Edge mess they were using as their primary jersey back then, but it still wasn't great. Using a Calgary wordmark + the flaming C together is redundant. They should've had the wordmark say 'Flames', or come up with a flaming F logo. Also, having no yellow in the numbers was a mistake. The shoulder patch was great though.

I think it looks fine, as long as the socks match the helmets.

What exactly is political about tape?

https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/nhl-ban-pride-tape-1.6991413 Of course the league can't get out of their own way right before the season is about to start. Pride tape was never a mandatory thing, like the warmup jerseys, and there have been zero controversies related to players not using it. People were real quick to defend the players' freedoms when it came to not wearing the jerseys, but now they don't have the freedom to use multi-coloured tape? I'd be curious to see what happens if a player decides to use it anyway. Or if a goalie decided to paint a pride flag on his helmet. I can only imagine the bad press that would come out if the league starts issuing fines to players for supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

I don't envision the Knights ditching gold as their primary home colour anytime soon. I'm sure if we look back in 20 years this will still look like Vegas's "right" uniform.

At least the 49ers use the same gold pants with both uniforms. They also don't use red at home & burgundy on the road, so there's really no comparison to the Cowboys.

The Rams were in LA for 48 years before moving to St. Louis. They wore some version of blue & yellow for 39 of those seasons, and wore blue & white for 8. Not sure why people want them to play Colts dress up based on a very brief period of the franchise's history.

This is my favourite uniform matchup in NFL history. It's a shame we only get to see it every 8 years. Not defending the Cowboys, but the Yankees aren't the best example to cite. At least not while they use two different interlocking NYs on the same uniform.

They just need to commit to a look instead of trying to have it both ways. The D-Backs use of turquoise is the same as the Twins previous use of gold. It looks fine on the home jersey, but is inexplicably absent from the rest of their uniforms. If they did decide to incorporate turquoise into the full set, I wouldn't mind seeing the white jersey tweaked. The turquoise front numbers & names on back stick out way too much. It should just be a trim colour.

I've always wondered if there was a way to do an NHL version of Redzone, and I appreciate that they're trying something new, but I just don't see the format translating to hockey that well. Football is pretty straightforward. Aside from the occasional big catch or kick/punt return TD, you can generally tell when a team is about to score. Hockey is far too fast paced to have any way of predicting when a goal might be scored, unless you have a team on the power play or a game in OT. I feel like this will mostly be cutting between highlights, as opposed to having multiple live feeds going

Yeah, I don't understand why they unveiled a brand new logo for the centennial, but it doesn't actually match the logo on the centennial jersey. Either use the classic yellow on the jerseys, or use the metallic gold on the logo.
