powersurge Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm pretty surprised no one mentioned the Patriots yet. This one is the MOST interesting in my opinion. They went away from the bent over Patriot guy to the silver and royal blue scheme, made the Super Bowl shortly there after (first time in a decade or so) and lost. Then they changed to the silver and NAVY and the rest is history. Guess its all in the correct SHADE of the colors and not just the colors themselves....actually I believe none of that stuff personally seeing that uniforms don't win or lose championships, players do....but this is a logo board isn't it?

HedleyLamarr Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 As far as teams Making it to the championship games didn't the Knicks have thier new blue trim home unis the year they lost to the spurs in 99?Also does any one know any teams that won the championship after a coaching, trade, change?The one I remember is that the White Sox won the World Series in 05 in Ozzie's second yearAs for coaching changes, the New Jersey Devils fired the head coach (Robbie Ftorek) and went on to win the Cup in 2000 with Larry Robinson behind the bench. Sadly, the Devils did the same thing this year (fired their coach Claude Julian) with 3 regular season games left, and lost to Ottawa in 5 games (I was at the final game at the Meadowlands..with GM Loe Lamoriello behind the bench....so for the 2nd straight year the Devils lost a coach mid season...either by firing him or personal issues and went on to lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs)-CarlAlso, in 2003 the Marlins fired Jeff Torberg in midseason and replaced him with Jack McKeon, and wound up winning the World Series later that season....

You could also sort of count colleges. Nike has a new template almost every year, so some team with a new uniform wins the championship. Maybe now that the Chargers changed their unis this year they'll win the Super Bowl. The Sabres were pretty successful with their uniform change this year too.

It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
