Guest Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 It's probably the just the way the jersey is sitting, but the A in his name looks crooked, too. If it were a fan wearing that jersey, I would have assumed it was counterfeit. Looks cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48erhater Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Nobody in hockey should wear something in the 60's outside of Mario's 66.Nobody?Doug Glatt should also be able to wear a number in the 60's. Even though he's just a movie character. I don't know if the real life guy (Doug Smith) he's based off wore that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a decent font and eagle logo away from being great. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get going back to red/white/blue, but there was something about the blue/black/gold that I loved and still miss to this day.

Morgan33 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 All three of the Capitals Bronze, Black and Blue jerseys are better than what they use now. The black one looks particularly good in that picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMac Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm going to help derail the thread even more. I loved those Capitals uniforms. I even feel that they could hold up pretty well today. They don't look dated to me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoknight Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 In regards to defenders wearing low numbers like a QB or RB, Nebraska's had several of our top defenders in recent years sporting #4 - Lavonte David, Randy Gregory, Mohammed Seisay, and Larry Asante to name a few. I'm kind of hoping it becomes sort of a defacto honor that the defense's alpha dog gets to wear #4. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

I'm kind of hoping it becomes sort of a defacto honor that the defense's alpha dog gets to wear #4. So does your QB right now.That's another one that kinda "looks bad". Am I wrong or is it more common for a star player (or at least starter) on each side of the ball to wear the same number? I know that college football rosters have had duplicate numbers for as long as I remember but it seems like the QB's number is more frequently worn by a defensive starter. I am pretty sure FSU has a defensive starter wearing #5 (Winston's number). I recall Mantei Te'o wearing #5 and I think the starting QB did too. When Tanner McEvoy switched to QB at Wisconsin, he took #5, worn by defensive starter Darius Hillary. There are other QB numbers I know he could have taken.It's not a big deal but I'd rather see duplicate numbers be worn by bench warmers.

IceCap Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Those Caps unis were the rare 90s rebrand I thought could have stuck around. They might have had they managed to pull off the Cup victory in 1998.It's just a shame they degraded the identity by promoting that dull black alternate to the primary dark sweater. It was all downhill from there.

VikWings Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Loved those Caps jerseys. I liked the black one too, but that should've remained as an ALT and never because the primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other QB numbers I know he could have taken.It's not a big deal but I'd rather see duplicate numbers be worn by bench warmers.I don't mind it on QBs so much, specifically because they rarely play on special teams. Generally you get mix ups when you have a LB and a WR on special teams with the same number. Also, college rosters swell to ~70 players opposed to the more trim NFL sized rosters, so doubling numbers often becomes necessity. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.
