One of those teams is not the Super Bowl LII Champion Philadelphia Eagles.

And the long slob shirts that create contrasting cummerbunds and sometimes even cover the player's butt. Those wouldn't have been allowed back in the day. I guess the "slope" started when they started allowing jerseys to be untucked as long as they had elastic at the bottom back in the early 00s. For a while, it wasn't always obvious if someone's jersey was tucked or not because of how they were tailored. Now, players want to look like dopes and wear t-shirts that just show off how untucked they are. "Yo, man check me out - my shirt goes down to my butt!" "Oh yeah? Well mine goes all the way down to my knees!" "Hold my beer... check this out - mine actually drapes on the ground. Can't even see my shoes!" Idiots.

I wonder if this means NHL will eventually get moved back to the main header on espn.com instead of in the "other" section near "recruiting", "F1", and "bull roping".

I don't like how they kept that version of the helmet logo either.

It's not just that sleeves are shrinking, it's that the shoulder pads have basically gone away too, so there's just no more room. All that stuff - TV number, shoulder hoop, Nike ad, and logo would have worked fine back in the day when the players had enormous pads - even with the current cap-sleeve style. Even if he had sleeves down to his elbow, it wouldn't make any difference. In fact, the only non-throwback jerseys we've seen so far that eliminate the TV number are the ones with shoulder trim, so for the majority of the league, there's simply no reason to get rid of them. Even in the Rams case, they only eliminated them in the one jersey where the shoulder trim would have matched the number. It's not inevitable, and it's not going to happen.

Once teams start dropping TV numbers without making any other changes, we'll talk. Until then, the overwhelming majority of the league will have them so they're far from RIP.

there's absolutely no reason to think that.

Love the Browns. I'm always in favor of more orange touching brown.

I can't believe I remember this, but we actually discussed that logo here like 15 years ago. Nick made a vector of it and then said the Seahawks started using it. The link in the thread isn't there anymore but here it is anyway.

they could just put little chips in the jerseys and the TV broadcast could "hover" the number over the player, or make it look like it's in a thought bubble coming out of his head. Problem solved.

Regarding full-body logos, check out this old Eagles one worn by recently-deceased Irv Cross:

0 and 00 look ridiculous, but especially in football. If they were to open up 1-9 for receivers (which I would be against), then they should just make 80s a defensive number again since no young receiver wants an 80s jersey.

I'm really glad the Eagles didn't fall into the "body around the head" trap. I can't see any way to pull that off without it being a complete train wreck of a bird. EDIT: Ad me to the list of people that never realized just how bad the crawling jaguar was (the stomach lol) but I don't care. I still love it, and those jerseys, and the original logo.

They could put mics on a literal chicken and pig and it wouldn't make a difference in Super Bowl ratings. If anything, it could help! While I hate TNF, at least I'll be able to watch it if it's on Amazon and not the dumb af NFLN. I don't really get the ABC thing - aren't they and ESPN under the same umbrella? I wouldn't have thought they'd be bidding separately for various packages.

Unpopular opinion: OG Jaguars helmet logo > current helmet logo.

There shouldn’t be Monday night football. It’s time for that franchise to die.

If you’re changing anyway, then why ask the guy how locked-in he is? He obviously wasn’t planning on changing anyway. It’s admittedly nit picky, but considering how he behaved here whenever he didn’t get his way, I’m sure he’s plotting Pittman’s trade or release. I mean not really, but not not really.

Wentz asked Michael Pittman if he could buy #11 from him and Pittman refused (he apparently told the story while playing video games on twitch) and Wentz said it didn’t matter because he was going to change anyway. So it didn’t matter because he was going to change anyway, but he asked about buying it - which is it? Dude is such a bad liar. He’s such a baby he probably won’t throw to Pittman now and will work behind the scenes to get him traded.

I'd say it's much closer to a slate blue.

That does look fine, but it's not nearly what the Nike top would look like. There wouldn't be any wrinkles providing different shades and the nesh part wouldn't be see through.

I don't think that would look very good, at least with the red jersey. Despite being different colors, the shimmer (shine? reflection? not sure the word) would clash. Would need to see it though. Personally, I like the older jersey material with the dazzle material.

I think it's a beautiful shade, but I wonder if it would look brighter on Nike's flat material. Of course, making everything flat would ruin the gold pants, but it might make the red appear brighter (or at least more uniform.)

Dammit. Leave it to a lawyer to bust me on a technicality. Fine. Valparaiso Affiliated Individuals.

That uniform is superior to what they wear now in every way except the extra logo on the sleeve.
