Fred T. Jane Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/060608enjoy EDITLukas is a person of questionable uniform analysis in the specific case of the article in question in my opinion because of the following analysis I list in the following posts. (There. Some people here mustn't have taken the elective course in "Sarcasm identification and Analysis" in school.)Uni Watch says: Love the historical connection to the Prince's flag, but there's something about an orange jersey that just doesn't work. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Fred T. Jane Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/060608enjoy Lukas is a moron. Oh come on Chris, did you read the entire article? He slams the Italians for weaing blue kit (They've been wearing it since, what, the 1920s?), and in his most egregious error, heexalts the Brazilian's simplicity (Despite them being Nike templated), and then says the English are boring (At least the English manage to get a St. George's Cross on the shirt).

Braden Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 The column's alright, except for a couple of things:I don't understand how he burns Holland for using Orange and praises Ivory Coast for the same thing. Why does every team need to be in their flag's colours?England's kits are not boring, they're great.I thought he'd be harsher on the Puma template.

whitedawg22 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Is there any doubt that 1994 was the nadir of bad taste?Click on just about any link in the article leading to a 1994 jersey, and you'll throw up in your mouth. An example: oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

rtrich11 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Lukas is a moron. blah blah, etc.The way I look at his column is that is really more like a service. I think some of his opinions are a bit silly at times, but his eye for detail is good. He also links all these obscure photos that we'd never see otherwise. I find just poking around from his column is fun, even if I don't agree with some of it. He's putting in a lot of work to give us an eyefull (is that a word?) of information. I can really appreciate that part of it. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmered Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 umm...was it just me, or did everyone else notice that this was a column by one of lukas' readers - not lukas himself... There I was trawling through Fred and Pantone's correspondence all the time yelling at my PC "but he didn't write it".Thankfully gordie_d read not only the article, but the introduction as well.But he says this:Simple rule: Any uniform with a kangaroo on it is automatically cool.So it's hard to disagree with him.

Fred T. Jane Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 There I was trawling through Fred and Pantone's correspondence all the time yelling at my PC "but he didn't write it".Thankfully gordie_d read not only the article, but the introduction as well. Actually he wrote commentary after each of the other guy's reviews. The biggest travesty of them all was when he called the English's kit boring, yet lauded the simplicity of Brazil's uniform. I had the sudden urge to throw something after such silly sentiments, but thankfully calmed down since then. The most shocking thing was when my mum sat down and began watching the Brazil-Croatia match. the first thing out of her mouth was "Croatia is wearing a table cloth." Considering the Uni Meister's commentary...This is where we make all the obvious jokes about the Tour de France and Italian restaurants, right?I wanted to run away screaming. Though to be Mr. Picky about Dixon's review of Croatia, the checkered pattern is not inspired by the flag, but rather the national crest. If it was inspired by the flag, Croatia's uniforms would be a blue-white-red tricolored shirt.
