Uniform numbers that look bad

[Guest]

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.

Prince Fielder going with 84 in Texas , looks terrible, too wide

Prince Fielder or #84?

Exactly....can you belive he was injured last season with a neck injury ? He doesn't even have a neck !

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.

I think that's just a result of a fold in the jersey fabric.

That was a really underrated jersey. It was a decent font and eagle logo away from being great.

I like(d?) those jerseys and I definitely like that color scheme as a way to do the patriotic thing without going RWB, but this may be the first time I've ever taken a good look at that font... woof.

Agree.... black, blue and bronze looks good and is def. a unique color combo in sports.

was the white outline that thick for all the years they wore that jersey ?

Overall it was a very underrated color scheme. 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. Also, personally I was never a big fan of the black uniforms, I would have stuck with the white and then these bad boys:

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

yeah those were great and their time as the primary dark jersey of the Capitals was criminally short.

I even like the number font.

My favorite quirk about those uniforms was that one sleeve stripe was higher than the other to match the hem stripes

[JasonFromMiami]

"one sleeve stripe was higher than the other to match the hem stripes"

now that was just genius, and the swooping eagle was :censored:ing great

That was a great uniform and still the only instance of a team name on the hem (sort of) that I liked.

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.

Holy :censored:, I've never noticed that before. I don't like it, though. I've never liked the check mark stripe either, for that matter.

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.

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.

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]

Loved those Caps jerseys. I liked the black one too, but that should've remained as an ALT and never because the primary.

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.

Exactly, if you didn´t know any better that swooping eagle could be as old as the Hawks logo, it looks just as good as any original 6 logo
