  1. I think Bradley was the only one. Kukoc wore #7. http://www.nba.com/s...ory/roster.html Interesting. I'm certain that I saw him wear 77, even if only for his first game, before someone else changed their number. That was a while ago though, so I could be mistaken.
  2. Thought maybe he had dreams of someday being an offensive tackle. Following in the footsteps of Shawn Bradley and Toni Kukoc as Sixers who have worn numbers in the 70s. Not sure if there were any others.
  3. Funny - I go to StadiumPage.com all the time (and the Stadium Graveyard page), and never even noticed the WS Rings extension. Looks like I have a new bookmark to add.
  4. wake me when the caps have a banner for Al Iafrate. Man, I heart'd that guy.
  5. Why don't NFL teams celebrate championships as much as the other sports? Don't see too man pennants / flags / trohpy cases / etc.
  6. I agree. I'd do this in all sports. If you don't, you're essentially saying that the division and conference / league championships aren't that significant. So if you win the World Series for example, and then the next year get bounced in the NLDS, is it seems kind of dumb to raise a flag that wasn't good enough to be raised the previous year. The way the Phillies do it, they raise the division flag right away (it's white). Then, when they won the NLCS, they took the white down and replaced it with a blue one. Then, they replaced the blue with a red one. Of course, they still had a flag-raising ceremony before opening day, even though the flag was already up (I guess they took it down so it could be raised again.) They should just have all of the damn flags up there all the time. What is especially flawed about this system is that the assumption is that if you have a Conference / League flag, then you also won the division. This is not always the case though, with wild cards.
  7. I wonder how many of those they are selling. I saw them in stores on Saturday. Didn't look like anyone was rushing to buy them. I'm half surprised that none of these johnny-come-lately protesters aren't boycotting the stores selling the jerseys. Other than just to make a statement about supporting the man, there's no real reason to buy his jersey, since he'll be suspended for at least the first two games, and there's no guarantee he'll play much after that (and that's assuming he keeps to the promises he's made about being reformed.) I think many are taking the "wait and see" approach. EDIT: not sure if it's possible, but the team could make themselves look a little better by donating money from Vick merchandise to the humane society. That still wouldn't get the nutjob picketers to buy any, but at least the team wouldn't look like it's just doing this to sell some jerseys.
  8. I was with Buc in renaming the thread, but after I saw this? F*** it. Just shut the whole damn thing down. The is the "Legends in the wrong uniforms" thread...and this motherf***er posts Mark "I didn't know he was still in NBA" Madsen. This s*** didn't just jump the shark, it jumped all the sharks...San Jose Sharks, Iron Chef Shark, Jets and Sharks, the Jersey Shore Shark attacks of 1916, and even those 3 mechanical sharks from the "Jaws" flicks. what no love for the loan sharks, discovery channel's shark week and the SNL door shark played by Chevy Chase? What about Sharky the Sharkdog?
  9. I have no idea who that is. Pat Burrell. The only thing he's legendary at is striking out and banging every cougar in the Deleware Valley. I've heard some very interesting stories from a girl I met that used to hook up with him. And here's evil Tampa Bay Pat. Maybe he should have changed gimmicks to Evil Pat while he was here. Either way, Raul The Bat > Pat The Bat.

  11. OMFG - does that P have a black outline around it, or is that just an optical illusion caused by the texture? I don't recall there ever being an outline around that version of the P. its not an optical illusion, its a genuine black outline. How can you be certain? I really don't think it's black. I remember as a kid around that era, one of the things that made me take closer notice of sports uniforms was how the Authentic Flyers jerseys didn't have the black outline, but the replicas did. I always wanted an authentic, but they were around $80 IIRC (and didn't come in little-kid sizes), so I had to settle for a replica. I actually tried to cut the black outline off of the patch with scissors... didn't work too well.

  13. While that jersey is clearly a cheap replica (can tell by the crest), remember that back in the '80s, some authentic jerseys were that type of mesh (the Rangers were wide mesh for quite a while.) IIRC, the Flyers had wide mesh in the early '80s (when they were made by Eagle I think) and then went to the 100% poly (like baseball jersey material) until Air Knit became en vogue.
  14. Tavares will leave his mark on Long Island, you'll see. He's going to p*ss on it on his way out?
  15. Not a legend by any stretch of the imagination, but then again, neither are half the players in this thread. Brad Lidge on a rehab start for the Reading Phils.

  17. Top of the Rays ring is beautiful. The sides, not so much.
  18. lol and oh to get a template i should just google search "jersey template"? Try this thread. http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=63599 It has bunches of them. i have one last question: is it illegal to use microsoft Clip Art to find a picture of an animal/mascot, and then use it as a base log on which you edit and add things around it? and what about this web site, is it illegal to copy and paste from it? is this ok? alright never mind. i read the copyright info. i can use them however i want and can post up to 3 to a website. if i want to post more i have to get permission... Wouldn't recommend it - it's always better to come up with your own original work. If you do decide to edit someone else's work, make sure to give credit to the original designer and state in your concept thread where you got the original from. This cannot be stressed enough - if you didn't design it, cite where you got it from (unless it's blatantly obvious, like an NFL logo.)
  19. No problem. BBTV is always looking for an opportunity to show a n00b the way.
  20. Plenty of users have made some good-looking logos / uniforms on Paint. You just have to be very patient and take your time, because like you said, there aren't a lot of features. Tip: you can cheat a little bit by using the shape tools in MS Office products to make basic shapes, and then transfer them over to Paint (using print screen or something.) If you get good fonts, you can use Word Art to make basic wordmarks and transfer them over too. Templates are more for uniforms than logos. They'll have the basic shape, along with the seams, so you can see where to put your piping, or striping, or other type of trim. Not necessary for logos, but highly recommended for jerseys.
  21. The Phillies now just hang flags that state the year something was won (*points to sig*). They are color coded to represent the highest championship won that year. So for example for 1980, there is just one red banner that reads 1980, despite the fact that they also won the NL East and NL Pennant that season. I don't like this, because now that it is possible to win your league and WS without winning your division, you can't just assume all of the lower-level championships. I think that they should do like NBA and NHL teams and (despite the redundancy) hang one flag per championship, regardless of season. Hey - it's the Phillies - it's not like we're talking about that many flags!
  22. Don't the Rockies have a division championship banner or two? Where are those?
