slats7 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Sleeves, by a country mile. All sleeves should extend to mid-bicep. I don't give a damn if it "impairs your performance"--a ridiculous excuse if I ever heard one. If everyone wears sleeves at the same length, then everyone's at the same relative advantage-disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickV Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 On another note, please let NFL coaches wear suits, team sweater vest or something classier than fleece hoodies and manboob polo shirts.And BTW, sleeves in a landslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steiny_ramone Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Stirrups full time.Some football teams actually don't look that bad without sleeves. Most jersey stripes are designed for jerseys that don't have sleeves. So sleeves just look bad on many modern uniforms. I think I saw a picture of Jake Plummer in a slevved jersey, and because of the Broncos' striping it looked terrible. Sleeves look fine on some of the older looks, but when it gets into nike piping etc, sleeves are a no go. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Sleeves--I don't watch that much baseball, so I'd have to go with the football sleeves...

johnnysama Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Let me just say this: Both of them.Stirrups just look so damn cool in baseball. Yes, they have no function, but dammit, they are a cool classic look in that sport. Going off on another tangent for a second- I think I'm in the minority on this, but I also am a sucker for the 1980s pullover jersey style too. Frankly, the uniforms need to be back the way they were in the 1980s- form fitting, but allowing for freedom of movement. Ahh, the good ol' days....Sleeves really look cool in football. They need to be at least two or so inches minimum. If we keep losing them, we might as well play shirts vs. skins, as Paul Lukas said in an old Uni Watch column.That's all I need to say.

cupie Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I am with Johnnysama...Bring them both back.I hate the whole one colored sock. LAME.Pretty soon these guys in MLB are going to be wearing onesy's, like your infants wear on cold winter nights, with zippers from their crotch to their neck.Sleeves in NFL... . Everyone should have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Mts Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Since I don't care much about baseball at all, I'd have to say the sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally1912 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I vote for the return of sleeves. Why stop at the elbow? Seeing 3/4 length sleeves again would be a real treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winghaz Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The whole reason for stirrups in the first place is no longer valid, so if players went back to them, they would be doing so just for the sake of being 'retro.'Stirrups were meant to replicate colored socks, so just wear colored sock. Call me old-fashioned, but I would never wear colored socks for any athletic activity.I realize that with the material nowadays, colored socks don't pose a threat to your feet that they once did. But there's something about wearing colored socks that just doesn't seem to go with wearing a baseball uniform. Kind of like wearing white socks with a suit and tie -- it just isn't done.Bring back the stirrups. Sure, the original reason for them isn't there, but they just look like they belong with a baseball uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimBoyee Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Football jersey need sleeves! At least enough so the shoulder pads dont pop out! Reinstate regular length jersey sleeves. Stirrups are useless now that socks have elasticity now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
