Kickin' it with Kiz: Broncos should trade for Teddy Bridgewater

Off-topic but I completely forgot Teddy ever put on a Jets jersey. A quick Wikipedia search showed he only played for them in the preseason and was traded to the Saints but I had to do a double take when I saw that.

Double posting to express my disdain for the fact that the Arizona Coyotes don't use the kachina pattern on their socks.

I can understand that the technical limitations of the '90s made it so the original kachina uniforms couldn't feature the pattern on the socks, but I think it would make the jerseys so much more consistent looking nowadays.

The Guardians G logo bugs me.

First, because if its (Angle? Perspectve? Whatever.) it has to be on the right sleeve and I really want patches on the left sleeve (an OCD thing).

 

And the "G" on the other side of the logo, even though you cannot see it, is backwards!

They should've for sure. I mean Tampa has socks like these:

I don't know that I'd call this a little thing, but it's definitely been aggravating me lately...

 

Derrick Henry has been doing it for a while, but in the past year or two lately increasing number of Snatit Titans players have been electing to go with red accessories with their uniforms...and it just looks so out of place...

I would be lying if I didn't say the red accents look alright on the all-navy look in minimal doses, but for a team that has 6 total colors on the uniform (navy, light blue, white, red, light gray, dark gray), and red not being that prominent of one, they need to condense their color range a bit for the red to look in place. Also, light blue accomplishes the same thing as red in brightening up the look a bit, but it doesn't detract from the rest of the uniform. Plus, there is already a navy and red heavy team in the same division in the Texans. We don't need two of them, hence why I prefer light blue as an accent color here.

I had the exact opposite reaction. For some reason, I remembered him being on the Jets for years, just to find out it was only one preseason.

I've watched countless MLB games and had never really noticed this before...do players have leeway in choosing the color of their belts on their own? It was sort of distracting to see the Padres wearing both yellow and black (brown?) belts last night...

Cionel Perez often wore an orange belt this season.  I don't recall anyone else on the Orioles wearing one.

 

I don't remember when he started (or when I first noticed it), but there are also a lot of pictures on the web of him wearing a black belt like the rest of the team.

As an Islanders fan, the team’s sock striping has always bugged me. The socks don’t match the jersey striping, they don’t match each other, and they stick out like a sore thumb once you notice them.

Makes me insane. The white uniforms are fine, it's the decisions made with the blue uniforms that kill me.

 

First of all, why would you go back to your classic colors, but not the blue uni that won 4 straight cups? If you're going back to the 1976 jerseys, which it looks like they did, why go out of your way to use socks that don't match the hem or sleeve stripes when the socks and sleeve stripes actually did match on those uniforms.

I think it was 2019 that they gave up on belts the way the NFL has given up on socks.  The thing is, it wasn't even a problem!  I don't recall anyone bucking the team-standard belt until around that time, and now we see contrasting colors, shiny ones, and it's only a matter of time before someone goes out there with a fancy western belt buckle or championship belt.

 

I'd hate it, but in some cases it's an improvement (for example, Bryce Harper sometimes wearing blue belt with their day-game throwback alternate that should have all-blue trim, but for some reason they go with red.)

Looking through the Isles jersey history there, they haven't had completely matching socks to jerseys, both dark and white, since the 1977-78 season.

The overbearing outlines on the tv numbers of the Dolphins throwbacks that cause the numbers to look like they’re just on an orange background. Specifically, numbers 3-5-6-8-9-0

It's era-accurate.
