Players in the "wrong" uniforms

Are we ever going to stop posting pictures of players immediately after they sign with or get trade to a new team? It doesn’t make any sense. Especially if said player still has years left to play, like Von Miller and Russell Wilson

 

I disagree with Von Miller, his peak was with the Broncos and he was the face of their defense for a decade. A few years on the Bills isn't going to change that. 

 

Russell Wilson could be different depending on how well he does in Denver, but the Super Bowl with the Seahawks is going to be hard to surpass. But after all, he is remembered more in college at Wisconsin than NC State.

Probably not.

It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. 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.

Thanks to the low rate of convictions  of those crimes, he’s considered guilty by many. He’s in a similar boat to the one R Kelly was for about 20 years.

Eh, R. Kelly is a lot worse IMO. But the Chappelle music video about him is fantastic.

Posting current players in this thread has always baffled me. Especially if the player just joined their new teams (*cough* CMC & Mayfield *cough*).

 

Imagine gatekeeping a thread like this 😂

Not even gatekeeping. Just a perplexing choice.

 

Whatever floats your boat.

There's nothing wrong with posting current players in this thread. Imagine if Sidney Crosby were traded to Anaheim tomorrow. It would most definitely be okay to post that here.

I think the point of this thread is for players of the past, whom you think of in certain uniforms (and not in other uniforms). 

 

For active players, their stories are still being written.  There's no way to know immediately after a player changes teams whether that player's new uniform is ultimately going to count as the "wrong" uniform for him.  When Gretzky was traded to Los Angeles, the idea of his having left Edmonton was unthinkable.  But the Kings uniform eventually became one of the right ones for him.

I can see posting active players who are winding out long careers with new teams.  We know those aren't going to end up being their "right" uniforms.  Mayfield and McCaffrey are both pretty young.  If either of them end up staying with those teams for the rest of their career or win a Super Bowl or two there, those could easily be "right" uniforms for them.
