tulanebc Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Here's my $0.02... 1.) Teams with sports equipment in their logo. I work under an assumption that we fans have a vague understanding of the sport in which our teams play in. 2.) The amount of NBA teams with similar colors in their schemes. Also hate the shirt jerseys. 3.) Saints all-black unis. They look like a low-budget high school team. 4.) Mismatched colors on uniforms. Cowboys, I'm talking to you. Stop honoring bad fabric choices and pick a silver and blue. 5.) Non-unique MLB number fonts. I get that one company makes jerseys but stop looking like Joe's Jersey Shack in Altoona designs and makes your numbers. Be unique but match your scheme. That is all. 1 Quote If you inherit Randy Johnson's facial genes, he owes you $97,000 at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be argued that the cowboys need to pick 2 blues.. Or a blue and a green.. Their helmet color is "texas blue" and their pants are metallic silver-green.. If they settled on helmet colors only, they would be navy blue and Texas blue (and white if you wanna count that too) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a jersey that's worn less than three times a season (and often once) is cool with me. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing something similar in the other leagues. Even as a Dodgers fan I have to admit those Giants jerseys were nice, especially this one. I like the Giants but the problem with these uniforms is that so much gold looks really bad against the cream base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 the oilers are going to look really cool as a primarily orange team, with blue. it's about time they do something colorful and unique without just aping the gretzky era continuously.

I can think of a bunch of names that are more appropriate than something that doesn't exist yet is shoehorned into the local lexicon. Krewe? Bucs? Tarpons? Fightin' Al Scramuzzas?

Ben in LA Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I want the Vegas Golden Knights to succeed. I'm not from Las Vegas but I spend a lot of time there. Folks I've talked to are tired of being crapped on with the assertion they can't support a major league team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symmetry in ballparks is a lost art, one even lost by the White Sox as they added the kiddie area and moved the fences around. Some of the renovations were necessary and good, others I wouldn't have gone about quite the same way. It was even more like Yankee Stadium when it still had blue seats. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Lankford Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I hope that the Dbacks add more red when they finally change their home jerseys. Maybe down the shoulders to the sleeves like the ASG jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm not advocating for the Lone Stars name or against the North Stars name.... But why does the suggestion of being the Dallas Lone Stars get met with such derision when North Stars is beloved? The argument is that you can't be plural and singular at the same time, so any Stars couldn't be Lone, only a Star can... but if we change star to wolf, and say that crazed gunman #1, crazed gunman #2, and crazed gunman #3 were all lone wolves, acting in different unrelated attacks, no one would complain. "Most lone wolves are white male hermits" would be acceptable, so why wouldn't Lone Stars be acceptable (other than the negative connotations about team work.) Contrast this to North Stars. North doesn't describe a type of star, of which there can be more than one... It's a proper noun speaking of one specific star. THE North Star. There are more than one lone stars in existence. There is only one North Star, so it itself can not be plural, can it? Random thought... From a lover of the name North Stars, and a hater of the suggested name Lone Stars. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am kinda with you...I don't have the immediate negative reaction to "Lone Stars" either. I understand why people balk at it. This is difficult to articulate, but if you are Texan, I might say "you are a Lone Star." So if you and your family are all Texans I might way "they are Lone Stars." The North Stars thing might be a little further from egregious, though. According to this, the sate nickname, "the North Star State," is from a motto appearing on the state's flag implying that the state is "the star of the north" and therefore not directly after a specific star. In any case, I think the name would have been OK...yeah, you could argue both should be singular, but I think you could argue the other way, too. I guess the optics are a bit harder to digest for Dallas? I dunno.

smzimbabwe Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I have no rooting interest in tonight's NCAA basketball game as I did not go to Gonzaga or N.C. I was raised not being allowed to root for college teams and I do the same for my kids. None of them have any UW gear, as they did not go there. Someone brought me a Boston College hockey hat a couple years ago that sits in my closet, I have no affiliation with B.C. won't wear it. I think that college and professional sports rooting are two different things. I've never been to Pittsburgh, but have no problem rooting for the Penguins. It wasn't until I started at UW that I became a fan of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
