I'm not sure it really works outside of that. I mean "The Spirit of St. Louis" was a thing, so that naming convention made sense. The Mighty Ducks was a movie, but there was no reason they couldn't just have been the Anaheim Mighty Ducks other than Disney wanting their brand to come first. Going back to the previous 3 letter abbreviation conversation, I remember sometimes seeing MDA used for Anaheim. The funny thing is that in the movies the team only gets referred to as "The Mighty Ducks" a couple of times.

I absolutely love it, especially the minor inclusion of neon-green on the right shoulder patch. Normally, things like having a base colour found nowhere else on the uniform, having red exclusively on the logos & number or using both black & navy would bother me... But against all odds, this uniform comes together and just looks fantastic. It should be their full-time home with a matching white. I'm not a fan of the black for Columbus, but they definitely need to use this template for their home & away jerseys. The thicker piping along the sleeves, 3 stars instead of 1, and the hem stripe would make a big difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The Oregon Yellow Jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ss22 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I am a Vikings fan and I do not like the throwbacks. The boards seem pretty split on whether they should be primaries or are merely a serviceable alternate, but I would actually rather they don't wear them at all. I think they look like some strange unlicensed jersey. Their current uniforms have character while these look like any other team from the 60s. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the throwbacks are great for what they are, throwbacks, but that's all they should be. The current Vikings look is isn't perfect, but I think its still good, and the best they've ever looked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Washington, the Packers, the Saints, the Browns, and the Dolphins all had the very same striping pattern at one point. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s hilarious how Vince Lombardi said “screw your uniform” and just turned Washington into Green Bay Jr as his gift to the world before he died. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I would change all instances of Navy, on the primary logo, to the lighter blue. Then I would change the Black base to Navy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa sometimes had OTW in those same applications, which makes me think maybe either EA was just kinda weird or the league hadn't standardized abbreviations yet since so many graphics packages were still using full geographic names and the scorebug as we know it hadn't taken off in hockey quite yet; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Not sure if this is unpopular or even well-known because I just learned about it from this site: Quote The Citronaut was the first mascot of Florida Technological University (former name of UCF). The mascot appeared on the first student handbook in 1968-1969. After one year, students petitioned the university`s student government to establish a new mascot for the university. In 1970, students approved Knights of the Pegasus as the second official university mascot, which remains to this day (albeit after being simplified to Knights). What a mistake. The Citronauts would be such a great identity today, and the football program is now making its way into the national spotlight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
