You know you're a sports logo/uniform nerd when...

When I first saw Cal State Northridge earlier this week my first thought was, "Is that the Batman Forever font?" I felt like such a nerd. I'm doing that a lot now though. It's like Pandora's box, once you start noticing things, you notice everything, and you can't stop yourself.

Despite the fun gameplay, I couldn't enjoy playing as the Cubs in MVP04 because the Cubs uniforms had block numbers. Same goes for Bears nameplates done in helvetica. Just not as cool.

It happens when I pay more attention to one or both team's uniforms than the game itself. Especially hockey games. You spend more time analyzing to yourself the pros and cons of the team's look without caring who wins and who loses.

Yep.

Mine? Watching my team get to the sweet 16, but then noticing our star player's jersey lettering being maddeningly off center.

IT'S FOUR LETTERS, PEOPLE! CENTER THE "I"

The jersey on the #3 player (sorry, I don't know his name) seems to look fine.

Do the gold outlines on #3's jersey look thicker to anyone else?

I think it's just the angle of the picture

when....

1-I respond to a thread which already has 4 replies to it. (However, the OP, you cannot correctly center "4" letters; Pitt looks centered on both, the angle #3 Jermaine Dixon is facing makes it look eschew.

2- Last year during the NCAA tournament, my little sister said she liked Kansas to win because of their uniforms. I told her that they moved to the "Trajan" font form a circus-like font after their contract with adidas. Way too much information for her.

Almost every game I watch I notice something, that I never noticed before.

And I'll occasionally have a couple friends over, then I'll be like "Dude! The [insert team name] have new... Nevermind nobody cares."

I end up catching myself everytime.

My friends have started realizing it, and they tell me to just say it. haha.

I do Aussie Rules jumpers.

www.footyjumpers.com

When I tell people I have to do 16 new jumpers for the 16 teams this season, which just started, they look at me like I am from outer space.

New collars, slightly altered details that I pick up and no-one else seems to care about.

(Adelaide, Home & Away, Collingwood Home & Away, Essendon Home & Away, North Melbourne Home & Away, Melbourne Home, Away and Preseason, Port Adelaide, Away, Richmond Home, Away & Preseason & StKilda, Away)

Oh, and I've got a site.

When you find out that your first ever college dorm room mate is from Okinawa, Japan. Then you later find out that he's the dude you constantly trash on the boards.

When you get annoyed because somebody refers to a jersey as a 'shirt.'

Of course, I'm also annoyed when people call the seats in an aircraft or other vehicle 'chairs.'

On the positive side, it's quite the rush when my wife notices a team we're watching is wearing alts. Well, she doesn't say alts, she just notices their unis are not what they usually wear, but same difference, right? :D

My girlfriend and I were watching an NCAA tournament game, Arizona-Utah. And she was pointing out how dumb it was that they have "Runnin' Utes" on the front and "Utah" on the back above the numbers.

Then she glared at me and said, "Now you have me doing that!" :lol:
