    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.

    Ahem

    The Petes were so close to getting back to their classic look. It's a massive improvement over the last set, but desperately needs a hem stripe.

    I guarantee most people on social media wouldn't even notice the difference if there were a stripe on the pants. The "clean" look just means white pants & socks with a white jersey.

    The NFL didn't let them wear the white helmet with their primary uniforms, so they had to bring back the colour rush as an alternate in order to use the alternate helmet. I guess they made the case that the white jersey/black pants combo is their primary look, and the all-white is the alternate. Carolina used the same logic to be allowed to wear the black helmets with the all-black uniform.

    The Cowboys jersey design + Eagles rip off helmet seems sacrilegious.

    Well a quick google search of "MLB attendance" & "MLB tv ratings" would have given you plenty of sources confirming the growth, but here you go. https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2023/07/14/mlb-rule-changes-are-key-reason-for-increase-in-tv-streaming-and-attendance-league-says/?sh=788015747db2 https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2023/08/16/mlb-attendance-headed-for-biggest-attendance-increase-since-1998-expansion/?sh=40715949444f

    This year MLB has seen its biggest jump in attendance since '98, and that season had the benefit of two expansion teams being added. More than two thirds of the clubs have seen an increase in attendance, and about half of them have had attendance boosts of at least 10%. The median age of ticket buyers has gone down as well, so there's been an influx of younger fans going to games. Regional broadcasts have also seen a rise in viewership, despite the fact that these networks have been steadily losing subscribers. Obviously we need to see how long things keep trending in the right direction, but MLB has been pretty aggressive in trying to improve their product and fans have clearly taken notice.

    I was surprised to see how negative the reaction to these has been on the mainstream channels. I’ve even seen a few comments claiming it’s the worst jersey of all time. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid fauxback. I think it’d be better if the silver outline around the logo was white instead.

    If the white numbers on the Bruins jersey weren't bad enough, the captains patches don't even have the gold outline.

    No team names, logos, or jerseys were released at yesterday’s draft, but based on the teams’ social media posts announcing their picks we got a hint at team colours. Montreal - burgundy Toronto - blue Ottawa - red Boston - green New York - teal/seafoam Minnesota - purple

    He was asking players to hand over their phones, and spent several minutes scrolling through them. Any other coach would probably get the benefit of the doubt, but Babcock has a history of playing psychological mind games on his players, and is pretty much universally disliked around the league. Veteran players, especially guys with a letter stitched to their jersey, will always instinctively stand up for their coach/organization publicly. It's part of the "don't rock the boat" culture that gets ingrained into players throughout their careers.

    The Rangers didn’t build a fixed roof dome though. They built a retractable roof, just like Houston, Arizona, and Miami.
  15. spartacat_12
    That's fair. I was just trying to offer a realistic solution.
  16. spartacat_12
    I'm sure it will be an improvement, but I guess I'm just a traditionalist who thinks that baseball should be played outside as much as possible. I've also seen firsthand the difference it makes at Jays' games when the roof is open compared to when it's closed.
  17. spartacat_12
    The Rams don't need blue, white, or bone pants. I've accepted that they won't be doing another full rebrand anytime soon, but these are the only two uniform combos they should be wearing.

    Some awful placement of the captains patches on the Ducks jerseys now that there's an ad & anniversary patch. They really should've just swapped out one of the shoulder patches for the anniversary logo.
  19. spartacat_12
    Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't two of the main issues people have with Tropicana its location and the fact that it's a closed dome? If so, they aren't fixing either of these problems, although I guess the new roof will at least let some sunlight in. This feels like it could be another Marlins Park situation.

    Seravalli doesn't hold back here, and it's hard to disagree with anything he's saying. Kekalainen's tenure in Columbus has been a mixed bag at best, and he put his reputation on the line by vouching for Babcock when most of the hockey world was critical of them hiring him. I think he's benefitted from the fact that the Jackets organization was a complete joke before he took over, so the bar has always been low. I understand not wanting to replace your front office this close to the season, but this feels like another lost year in central Ohio. Might as well rip the band-aid off now instead of waiting until you've been eliminated from the playoffs.

    It’s a bit weird that the shade of gold on the jersey doesn’t match the shade on the actual centennial logo they unveiled.

    Yankees don't allow facial hair below the lip, so he can't rock the full beard he had in San Fran & Chicago.

    Don't see it happening as long as Jerry is around. He thinks the white jerseys are too iconic to change, but also says that navy apparel sells better.
  25. spartacat_12
    Well, it didn't take long for Babcock to get up to his old tricks. Apparently the Jackets & the NHLPA are investigating, but it seems like a weird thing for a player to make up.
