Unpopular Opinions


Recommended Posts

I'm not entirely sure just how unpopular it is, but I love Chief Wahoo. I'm by no means an Indians fan, but I used to draw him on my notes all the time as a kid. I remember buying an Indians hat and toy helmet at Camden Yards when I was probably 9 or 10.

(Camden Yards isn't a typo. They used to sell other teams' merchandise back then. I have a bunch of old toy helmets from Orioles games)

Its not unpopular to like Chief Wahoo, just not politically correct.

I like the Browns uniforms, especially back when they had white facemasks. I also think the Creamsicle uniforms that the Tampa Bay Bucs used to wear are really good too, though not as good as their current ones.

I agree the black was completely unnecessary, and just junked up the whole look, but to me, the dark red was just as bad of a decision. How anybody could prefer it to the classic cherry red is beyond me.

What a period for NFL uniforms... logo on the sleeves? Check. Repeat logo on hip? Check. Add black? Check. Darken primary color? Check. Add in oversized drop shadow numbers and you have a textbook example of full-blown 90's nonsense.

The color darkening is something I associate with the turn of the century, personally. That's about the time the Patriots, Jets, Bills, Sehawks, Rams,and Titans/Oilers "went dark."

I think the Capitals should go back to the blue and bronze color palate. Red, white and blue is overused and it's something that would fit the geography of the team, while being slightly differentiating.

And yes, the Hawks sweater is pretty overrated. Top 5, I could understand, but 'best in hockey?' Nah.

While I appreciated this look, I believe that their current red, white & blue look is much better. I will say that I actually prefer the old Wizards jerseys with these same colors as opposed to the red, white & blue Bullets knock offs.

BTW The names on the Blackhawks red jerseys drive me nuts because they aren't outlined in black like the numbers all are.

I've never minded teams using single-color NOB even if the numbers aren't. NOBs are usually so small and smushed together than the outlines just add unnecessary clutter and take away from their readability.

Then again, I'm of the opinion that NOBs are just useless clutter in general. Programs and the internet exist for a reason.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to blend both of Washington's color schemes. Red, Blue, White, with Black & Gold as trim.

Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy.

No, the red would probably muddle things too much. Either stick with the gold or swap it, but don't do both.
