If youâre wondering why other teams didnât adopt it Iâd assume it is because they didnât want to be viewed as copying them. Why lower leagues wouldnât do it, is because it was never a template option. Well I know what they did, but I wasnât sure why they had them. But I did just watch a video from Icethetics, where Chris did an interview with Phil Esposito. He said that he wanted to be unique, so he added elements like the bolt on the breezers or the victory stripes. "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

johnnysama Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Back to the CFL. For most of its run, the 1974-81 Montreal Alouettes uniform lacked TV numbers. Â That changed in 1979, when they were added to the jersey sleeves, thus completing what was already a pretty solid look. It wouldn't be there for long, because in 1980..... Â ....the team put their "delta-A" logos on the sleeves, migrating the TV numbers to the shoulder pad for the final two years of this uniform set's run.

Unocal Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The Toronto Argonauts for one season in 1995 basically put the helmet logo on the uniform and moved the numbers to the side  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Also: In the first year the 1974-81 Alouettes set, the logo was placed on the front of the helmet, with the player's number on the side of the helmet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iâve never seen another team do that, even in lower level hockey. Does anyone know the story behind those? I didn't realize they never put them back on! Apparently ownership promised to as part of the upgrades to those jerseys (solid numbers, bolt pants, etc), but I guess they were the one thing they never did.  On 6/15/2021 at 11:03 AM, dont care said: When they would raise theyâre arms to celebrate is the only time youâd see the stripes, thatâs where the term victory stripes came from.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

MJWalker45 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Adidas Techfit soccer jerseys These were meant to be skintight uniforms to keep the opponent from pulling on the jersey. But it wasn't worn by all of the players on each team so it stood out like a sore thumb in some competitions. France with both cuts shown:   It was visually jarring with some color sets and went away after about 2-3 years.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
