It doesn't matter if they are white, which you see mostly or a color they just stick out so much that it hurts the aesthetic of any uniform. Don't get me wrong, I would imagine there is a good reason so many players have gone to wearing them, maybe they give the knee some additional stability or something, so I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed to wear them. Just saying they are ugly. It doesn’t do squat, they think they look cool. And they don’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loo-vul is also sort of correct, depending on who is saying it. I go between New Or-leans and New Or-lee-ans, depending on the setting. For St. Louis or Looey, I tend to favor the former. If you’re not calling it loo-vul or loo-a-vul, your pissing me off tbh Quote Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangefaniniowa Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I am usually a huge fan of teams wearing orange and blue (navy or royal) as their colors (Yes, call me crazy). But I love Virginia's basketball uniforms. Their numeric and NOB lettering font is unique and one of a kind. It also helps that they now won the national championship wearing them. I wish they would use the same numeric/lettering on other sports like most schools do. Still they look fantastic and have done so since 2009 (with a small minor tweaks here and there). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krz Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The thing that bugs me most about the Virginia uniforms is the stripe at the top of the jersey. It makes it look like Nike is repurposing a bad adidas template, (this one in particular) 1 Quote Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the PS2 era, 989 Sports put out the World Tour Soccer series, in which MLS' teams were always among the unlicensed. Given the European production team, I figured the mistake was a bit more excusable...but the then-Wizards were always listed as Kansas. Not Kansas City, just Kansas (I can only presume they thought it was like Manchester City). 1 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't mind outrageous theme identities for a stretch of games. It's the minor leagues afterall. It's when companies like brandiose completely usurp a team's identity that it becomes a problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a prime reason why I can't take the MLS seriously because of the FC, Sporting, Real etc names. Timbers, Sounders and Whitcaps are the only organic sounding names in the league. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing we all agree it's Looey and not Loo-is He is Looey, because of his french-canadian heritage. The US city St. Louis is Loo-is.

They're not cringe-worthy or inappropriate. They're dignified, effective, and fit with what the rest of the world does with Association Football. Sporting Kansas City, the FC/SC teams, and Inter Miami are all acceptable and work well for their teams. Even the "United" names are fine (uniting of ownership groups/fans/other associated individuals). Also, "organic-sounding" is just elitist gobbledy(I am racially insensitive) used by American-style name fans used to demean teams that follow the rest of the world's lead. It's also a fun statement used by "Class of '96" fans to insult supporters of newer teams (that have their crap together from founding). EDIT: I am sorry about that one, I had no idea that it was a racist term. What I meant to say was "nonsense."
