Dirty Birds

I thought I missed a memo when I saw the Falcons wearing red helmets today.

Turns out, the whole uniform was a throwback to 1966. They'll also wear these uniforms against Tampa in week 12. Why '66? That was the first year of the franchise. In the years since, the Falcons have had a dozen different uniforms (12?!?!?!?), resulting in this:

I think I like the current day better.

Gonna Fly Now

I am really looking forward to the Winter Classic this year on New Year's Day -- Flyers vs. Bruins in Fenway Park. The Flyers have unveiled their jersey for the game.

This is the jersey the team wore from its inception in the late 60's to the early 80's.
Here is how that compares to the regular jersey.

I'm actually a fan of the team's third/alternate jersey.

Heck, if the Flyers are going retro, and the game is outside, maybe they should bring back....

...the PANTS!!

Kickoff at the first tee

I've resisted posting anything about golf, until now.

Tomorrow is 'College Colors Day' at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Here's what Tiger, Antony Kim, Stewart Cink and some others will be wearing.

O No

You can always count on the Univ. of Oregon to make things intersting on the uniform front. The Ducks opened the 2009 season with new uniforms....again.

They wore white helmets.

And God knows what that is on their shoulders.

Yo Ho Horrible

The Pirates honored their 1979 championship team over the weekend.

I want to like these uniforms. I really do. But I don't know.....

However, I absolutely LOVE the hat!

But, you know what? These uniforms are worse than the yellow tops. It must be the pants that get me.

Again, LOVE the hat!

I used to have one of these hats as a kid. I wish I still had it.

Hall of Shame

Actually, that headline is a little misleading. I actually liked the uniforms worn by the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills in last night's Hall of Fame game.


Both teams would be well served to go back to these uniforms - especially the Bills.

My only complaint, for both teams, is the logo on the helmets looked "flat."


But there is a nominee for the Hall of Shame....

UniNotes 8/2/09

Well, I'm back from vacation and in the mood to blog. Here are a few things I noticed from Sunday's MLB highlights.

The Braves wore these god awful red jerseys at home.


They also wore their alternate hat.


I hate both.

The Padres wore the camos.

These are ugly, but I for some reason like them. I also like the significance of the jersey - San Diego being a military town.


The Rays wore their alternate jerseys at home. I like these, but I also liked the old green unis.


The Pirates wore their alternate pinstriped uniforms. They're OK.

The Cardinals wore alternate hats. Um, OK. Not great, but OK.
