BBTV Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 They're going to auction the jerseys off for cancer research afterward, but I'm not sure what the market could possibly be for these. It's not their regular jersey, which is silver, black, and red.http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/wings/20120210_Wings_to_ditch_names_in_favor_of_Twitter_handles_on_jerseys.html "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

zpqmaowl Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Belongs in this thread.(At least it's for a good cause, but seriously, who'd buy those) the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 How many times must it be beaten into user's heads that specific uniform related news can be given it's own thread instead of dumped on page 35 of 128 of a "Discussion" thread?As for the jerseys, "meh". I still don't can't figure out why even minor league franchises can't pull off jerseys for special occasions in a tasteful manner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Also, is there a need to jump down someone's throat because you believe it's already been talked about? I barely go in a megathread because it's 90% crap. Give your opinion about the jersey, stay in the backseat and let the mods do their thing.I don't mind a one off jersey like this. It's for charity, and gives publicity to a league and the players who probably rarely get any. With that said, keep this cutesy kind of thing out of the big 4.

This could have universal implications.Anyway, who's the idiot - me for posting something that was posted in a lacrosse thread, or the jackass who bumped this from page 3 (possibly 4) just to make sure I knew, even though it had obviously already been ignored by anyone who cared?

This could have universal implications.Agreed. Thanks for posting this. I had zero interest in reading an NLL jersey megathread, but I do find this interesting. I had no idea teams were experimenting with this.Honestly, I think it's brilliant. It's the 21st century version of the kid sitting in the stands with his program, reading about the players he sees on the field/ice/court/pitch. I'd like to see the actual name on there still if a team did this full-time. I know you'd be cluttering things up, but maybe real name above the number and twitter handle below would work?The other thing I wonder is are these the players' personal accounts? Are there players who have a personal twitter page and a "team-approved" twitter page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The worst part of these was ESPN making fun of them on SportscenterAlso, a Mexican soccer team in the first division did this already so they are the second North American team to do this.

It's like saying 'I hate everything about Boston, including Brett Farve'.Anyways, I like this idea, as a one off thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
