raysox Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Something that annoys me in sports movies, it's some innacuracies in game scenes, examplesboth teams have coloured jerseys.things out of dateect.My dad has said that for years, but I got reminded watching the comebacks today.Is anyone with me? @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 my son was watching angels in the outfield and it was correct to life...*shrugs* "I don't understand where you got this idea so deeply ingrained in your head (that this world) is something that you must impress, cause I couldn't care less"http://keepdcunited.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spearhead Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 As a uniform and equipment nerd, I hate seeing modern equipment pop up. Like the modern facemasks in Remember the Titans. Movies like We are Marshall and The Express did a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 my son was watching angels in the outfield and it was correct to life...*shrugs*Pretty much accurate. They were playing their "home" games in Oakland and the crossbar of the 2 should be completely horizontal and not angled as they were on the uniforms. I only know this because I watched and went to enough Angel games, but yeah, they did an excellent job on the uniforms and that is a minor nitpick compared to some of the horrible examples we've seen. I think football movies seem to be the biggest violator of horrible lack of attention to detail. I could be wrong on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glover Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Major League seemed to have gotten it right. When they played in Cleveland, they had the White uniforms, and the games where they showed them away they had the Gray uniforms. The only thing in Major League that really bugged me was when Willie was leading off in that last big game against the Yankees, and how he was moving his legs around so much, real baseball players don't move around that much, especially if they are good at stealing bases.

Yac12 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Also in Remember the Titans, on of the fumbles that TC Williams picks up and runs back for a Touchdown to run into the wrong endzone. It is one of the first games in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 This the one that got me: The Barrington Panthers.You may as well say the Mustangs was playing the Maryland Terrapins!Their uniforms were DIRECT rips of the Terps...complete with UnderArmour logobranding/creep all over those jokers. (It's apparent UA supplied the apparel for that movie...but good DAMN!)Oh by the way...for those who have no idea what movie I'm talking about, I'm referencing Gridiron Gang.Now...there IS one movie that I really do like...but you know they took the short route with the uniforms, cuz only ONE TEAM IN THE WHOLE MOVIE has a white jersey...that's the New York Emperors (or Empire, I think). Every other team is playing in dark jerseys...and one of those teams has a big cross across the fronts of their jerseys!What movie am I referencing NOW? Any Given Sunday. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to figure out his post as well! I've been an editor at a sports network for over 10 years and couldn't make the connection between uniform innacuraccies and editing. That aside, I kind of liked the documentary feel that the movie had. Of course, it might be responsible for sparking the insane overuse of the "shaky camera" in film.

Gothamite Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Naw, ShakyCam had been really popular for about five years before that.Blair Witch Project came out in 1999. By the time Friday Night Lights was released, the whole look was a bit of a joke, like BulletTime is now. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Firefly Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Yeah, the Dallas Knights. The field was an even worse nightmare. But, they weren't blandly ugly like the teams in The Replacements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
