Movie/TV Unis

Recommended Posts

Has anyone noticed those Washington Sentinels have been used in a variety of commercials? I know they are in the Tenactin commercial with John Madden but I've seen them a few more times as well.

I think the Replacements unis were used in a U2 video too. I've also see the West Caanan Coyotes unis from Varsity Blues (which I've always liked) used in some other commercials or movies.

I couldn't find a picture of them, but the worst are EASILY the Eagles football unis from Saving Silverman...just awful.

The law of supply and demand is pretty harsh on this right now. I've seen precious few of these jerseys on eBay and they usually sell pretty high. You'd think they'd just make these again, it's not like the Hartford Whalers or anything.

Hockey: District 5 Mighty Ducks (The original green one)

Ooh--I would classify those as the worst.

I'd go with the Chiefs from Slapshot for hockey.

The Phoenix Scorpions for football--I love the helmets.

Basketbal & baseball?

Hmm--I'm not sure...

For several helmets & unis from TV & Movies check out this link-

Which I'm sure has linked from here before

there was this old '80s show on HBO called "1st and Ten". The show even had OJ Simpson as a cast member. The one thing I remember was the team's helmet. They were called the California Bulls. And the helmet was sort of like a reversed Vikings with the horns. Very cool design for its' day I thninl.

No love for the Cougars from Playmakers? The white ones were much nicer than the darks.

Yeah, the Charleston Chiefs jerseys are probably nicer than the Ducks, but The Mighty Ducks means more to me than Slap Shot. That flick got me into hockey and made 96 my favorite number.

Also IIRC i've seen the Muddogs Burbon Bowl jerseys in a few movies and TV ads as well.in fact i've seen a few jerseys in the movie "Max Kiebbles Big Move".

Slapshot is a hell of alot better movie than Mighty Ducks, IMO.

How about the Jax jerseys from "The Deadliest Season" tv movie with Michael Moriarity:

That guy in the dark jersey looks like the one bad guy from Slap Shot--Tim McCracken, was it?

Paul D'Amato played McCracken, and he was also in the "Dealiest Season". So it's most likely the same guy.

The original Mighty Ducks logo on their jerseys looks like something of a premonition of their :cursing: alternates.

I liked the unis of the team that played Permian in the state title game in Friday Night Lights. Although if the unis used by the opponents in the movie were the same in 1988 in real life then this wouldn't work for this topic.

Actually all the teams shown in Friday night Lights wore their current uniforms. Permain hadn't changed uniforms since 1988 so no big deal for them. But all of their opponents, you'll notice one team had Bronco style uni's had a different style except for maybe the team they played in the championship.

I thought of him right away when I saw the picture...

So he probably had an agent looking for those kind of roles.

OK, here goes:

Baseball -- New York Knights (The Natural)

Football -- Washington Sentinels (The Replacements)

Hockey -- Charlestown Chiefs (Slap Shot)

Basketball -- Cadwalader U (Fast Break w/Gabe Kaplan)

I couldn't think of any standout basketball unis, so by default I picked this one, because it is an underrated so-cheesy-it's-good movie that no one talks about any more. Honestly, the only thing I remember about the unis is that they were blue, but most fictional basketball unis seem to really suck, so what the hell.
