So I guess that Saints "World" Champions banner will be the last of it's kind that features a unique SB logo and not the new standard one (not that there's too many football banners anyway.)

Yeah, my wording probably wasn't the best. I'm blaming it on Ambien

Perhaps nice was the wrong word to use. If it fits the rest of the ensemble, then a jersey can look good, although I've seen some people look like tools in a jersey, so it is a risky move. I have no issue with sports gear from a strictly fashion perspective. I said in another thread somewhere that I only wear two MLB caps - a Tigers home cap and a White Sox hat. I know nothing about either of the teams, but I like the logos and each goes with some of my running gear. Jerseys can be cool if you can pull off the hip hop look. I'm mainly talking about the "I just love this team soooo much that I need the whole world to know that I'm the biggest fan!" crowd.

Age may be a factor too - my definition of "nice" is probably a lot different than a teenagers (not calling you a teenager - I have no idea how old you are.)

God i wish they'd take taht western conf reg season banner down... if you won the Pres. Trophy.. of course you won your conf. This perfectly exemplifies why the San Jose Chokes Sharks are the biggest joke of a franchise in the National Hockey League. The fact that Northern California has an unrequited hatred of Southern California, coupled with the fact that the Kings played the first SCF in CA hockey history, and the Ducks both appeared in the 2003 and 2007 SCF (winning the latter), gives San Jose Sharks fans the most massive inferiority complex in sports (this side of Boston's penis envy with New York, of course.) Oh, San Jose, how very pathetic you are. The city's official motto should be: "San Jose - The Minor League Sports Capital of California!" And the Sharks should update their wikipedia entry to reflect their biggest rivals to be: The Ducks, Predators and, umm... the second round of the NHL playoffs. If you can't put your immature team / city partisanship aside and make objective posts in the logos board, then you should join Panny in the kiddie board until you learn how to behave. Yes, I know - backseat mod. It's just really annoying. Oh, pardon me. For a second there I forgot my sports fan manual... let me just turn to the page where it prohibits trash-talking... Turning... Turning... Turning... Hmmm.. I can't find it! Perhaps you could direct me to which chapter it's filed under? Too easy. It's right in the forum description (or should I say, "trash talking" is not in the forum description): So I repeat - if you can't critique the art without starting trouble by starting a fight that's just going to derail a thread (yes, I see the irony here) then maybe you shouldn't be here. There's a Sports In General board for you to spout off about how much you hate a team. /backseat moderating

Thanks for the insight Mr. Blackwell. Wear what you want, but he's got a point. Everytime I see a grown-a$ man in a jersey (especially a customized one) I just think he's some big kid who is imagining that he's actually on the team by putting on the jersey, like he's fulfilling some childhood fantasy. It's all a big game of pretend. If you're actually at the game, maybe you get a pass, but it's still kind of corny for adults to wear the jerseys of other adults. I'll partially give you credit for the customized comment...Although, a person using their last name is more acceptable than some stupid nickname or bad attempt at a joke. As for the rest of your comment....It's ridiculous. By that logic, every time you see a woman with a Coach bag, she must be pretending to be a fashion model. Every time you put on any shirt with a company logo, you must be pretending to work for that company or model for them, right? That's just silly. I think people wearing jerseys is cool. I actually hate those NFL films (or any sport for that matter) where they show a crowd from the 60's, 70's whatever, and no one is wearing anything regarding the team they are rooting for. R Your comparisons are not even close to being valid. Not even a little bit. What you said, BBTV, can be true; however, I think that if the grown man who is wearing the jersey is mature enough to relize that a) he is not part of the team, he does not know the player personally no matter what anyone thinks, and c) he is just supporting the team, I think it would be an exception to what you said. Oh of course there's exceptions, and I get it's "cool" to be at the game wearing the same thing as the players, but jerseys are cut to go over pads, are long, are made out of mesh or polyester, and just aren't really practical "casual" wear. What's the difference between wearing a jersey and just wearing a shirt? I really think that there's something about putting on a jersey that gives some people a weird feeling. Maybe not consciously (like "maybe today the coach will finally put me in!!) but subconsciously. Maybe it's just my observation, but I generally notice the fattest or most obviously socially-inept people wearing jerseys, and there's just got to be something there. I get the wearing it to the game thing, but I'll never understand (and I'm not sure that anyone could ever make me understand) the mentality of someone who's getting ready to go grocery shopping, reaches into their closet to find a shirt to wear, and says "I'm going to go with the Vikings jersey today". It's just taking the team pride thing a little too far, IMO. Then again, I think that big time sports fanatics are pretty silly all together, so what do I know.

So as mentioned somewhere else in this thread, the Phillies fly a color-coded flag for every year in which they won some kind of championship (division, league, world.) Only one flag per year is flown, so obviously it's the highest level one. Here's an example pic, and my sig shows the different color combos. One kinda cool thing is that they give the players the flag as soon as the championship is won, and it is flown right away - so last year a white "division" flag was flown until they beat the Dodgers in the NLCS, then it was replaced by the blue NL flag (unfortunately that one wasn't replaced by a red world flag.) So the question is - what do they do if they win the wild card but not the NL? It's not really a championship, but it does represent a playoff appearance. I hope that they don't honor it with a flag, since despite what the Rockies will tell you, it's NOT a championship. I have a feeling that they will though, which begs the question of what color it would be. The only choice given the current pallet is to make it white but reverse the colors from the division flag - make the numbers red and the trim blue. My idea is to make it gray. It would "devalue" it by not making it bright and bold, and it would separate it from the division colors. It's not really one of their colors, but it's the only other color that it would make any sense to add. I'd make it just like the division flag, but gray instead of white.

The White Sox really need to think about adding a color to their scheme. A red outline around the SOX and maybe the numbers would work really well.

I still make the trade in a heartbeat, but make no mistake about it - JA Happ could be among the top leftys in the game within another two seasons.

Roy Oswalt, #44.

I think the color is actually a charcoal gray, but it still looks good irregardless. Whiteouts are going to look even more dramatic since black-dominated seating areas are now going to be the norm. (As opposed to the igloo's characteristic burned orange.) By definition, a white out against black seats won't look any more dramatic than a white out against orange seats. Also, unless there are tons of empty seats (which I'm assuming that there hasn't been recently - a stark contrast to when I used to go to games there and just get a walk-up tic for $12) it won't be much of a big deal during the game. Still looks neat though when it's empty.

Are the seats really black? That's pretty cool. It's nice that they have the rafter all to themselves for banners. Some of the Flyers / Sixers banners are hard to see, because they can't be hung in the middle like that. Also, the Flyers have gone to (at least for division, we'll see about conference this year) single banners with multiple years on them - think Celtics retired number banners. I guess they were running out of space cause of the Sixers.

MLB could never do a true East West format without full revenue sharing and a salary cap. You're taking away big pay days from teams that now have less games in NY, Bos, and Chi, and giving them more games against teams nobody cares about. Also, that East division has four of the top 5 or 6 revenue teams. While only one of those teams could win the division, the increase in revenue they'd all gain by having more games against each other would set off an arms race even worse than the current NYY/BOS feud, and those teams would become unstoppable.

Why should anyone be blamed for turning down more money? That's pretty selfish to think that he owes you so much that he'd accept less to stay and play for you.

Wasn't really sure where to post this, so I'll post it here. Saw someone wearing this shirt at Pitchfork Music Festival last weekend. Sadly, it wasn't for sale.

Seriously? Exactly how much of your life did you waste while searching for this... contribution?

Well that's not a player in a wrong uniform. That's just a poorly photoshopped jersey. Isn't this actually the right jersey? He will be a member of the Heat in the next... 10 hours? 1. The thread is for pictures of players in the wrong jersey. There is no player in that jersey. He hasn't even worn the jersey yet. 2. The jerseys are simply photoshopped - note the front number placement on the white one. I know everyone wants to be first, but let's get him in an actual game... or at least practice.

and besides - between the 5,000 jerseys that the Cavs have trotted out there in recent years, what would the right uniform be?

Well that's not a player in a wrong uniform. That's just a poorly photoshopped jersey.

Wow. Oh come on, that was kind of funny. It's the internet... we're just playing.

You seem to want really hard to prove that you are indeed somehow inferior, so I'll concede the point and recognize your complete inferiority. Mentally, socially, financially and (granted I've never seen you, but I'll assume that you're really out of shape and ugly, so) physically. Back on topic (sort of...) By the time all is said and done, CC will look odd in both Brewers and Indians uniforms. CC on the Brewers is like Randy Johnson on the Astros and Wayne Gretzky on the Blues.

Nobody is ripping on the small market team that got "screwed over", they're simply saying that CC Sabathia was in the "wrong" uniform in those pictures when he played for the Brewers. It's funny how you cry wolf and think the team you like got screwed over when the team that the Brewers got Sabathia from had to trade him to the Brewers because they couldn't afford him themselves. Oh yeah, and that same team had to trade Victor Martinez last year. And it happens with other smaller market teams, so shut the up and get over it; the Brewers aren't the only team that can't afford big name free agents. I was making a generalized statement towards small market teams that always get jobbed in baseball's free agency, not just the Brewers. Relax. Calling me inferior like that makes you much more inferior than I am. I didn't call you inferior, although apparently your reading skills are.
