TrueYankee26 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 In the spirit of the popular wrong uniforms threads, this one can be anything in sports, wrong position, wrong franchise name, wrong player name (including a surprising first name), wrong playoff format, logos in the wrong period etc. LeBron James started out as a shooting guard in his rookie year 2003-04, and ever since then he is a forward (Small Forward with the exception of Power Forward in 2017-18 according to Basketball Reference) The Yankees played their first two seasons 1901 and 1902 in Baltimore and then in 1903-1912 were the New York Highlanders. Before changing his name to "Muhammad Ali" and converting to Islam, he was known by his birth name Cassius Clay. I'll even include stuff that only happened because of COVID-19, the Round of 64 all the way to the Elite 8 are played Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday traditionally. This year, the 1st round and 2nd round will be played Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday and then Sweet 16 and Elite 8 are played on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. all games in Indianapolis. And of course in 2020 it was one of many events canceled along with all Winter and Spring championships. trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 That WNBA and G League use template uniforms instead of each team creating it's own uniform identity. That every US and Canadian major league has one uniform provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not exactly "wrong", though - it's just smart business. And it's been around long enough that modern generations are used to it. "Wrong", in this context, would be: not that long ago, every NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and MLS team negotiated its own uniform deal Baseball teams had different cap manufacturers from year to year, and even changed their cap logos based on who made the caps The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Look way better than these: Mainly because they used more than one or two templates, but eventually they even use the ugliest NFL uniforms (Titans and Patriots) as the template at the end. It took some of the individual identities away. It's even more egregious in the WNBA, where each team had it's own look but now they are a color by numbers kit with oversized logos.

It's hard to believe now that every last detail of a football uniform is custom designed that teams like the Bills and Bengals would open the box one season and the jerseys inside would have very different fonts (champion) than what they wore the year before (and nobody thought anything of it.)

Gothamite Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 And that if the manufacturer couldn't stock a team's colors, the team just took the closest thing they offered. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
