Holy shirt

I'm not sure what I think about the Angels red jerseys. I think I like them, but...

...I prefer to see gray on the road.
I do know this: red or gray - pick one and stick with it.

Jag-wears

The Jaguars have unveiled new uniforms.

I’ve read that the Jags owner has been unhappy that the team has worn at least six uniform combinations in their 15 years in the league, so they went with a more classic look.

Tthe Jaguar on the sleeve. They’ll wear teal jerseys with white pants at home and white jerseys with black pants on the road. No more black alternate uni (Horray!).





(New on the top, old on the bottom)



I'm not sold on the rounded stripe, but overall they're OK. Definitely a much cleaner look, which has prompted complaints from some fans that they're boring.

The helmets will be different also. It will still look black, but a close look will reveal more teal. As far as I can tell, the helmet logo remains the same.

Coming soon (when I get more time): A look at the new 49ers uniforms.

Eatin' good in the neighborhood

I don't know if I told you guys, but I have a little side business going.

Make sure you stop by next time you're at the new Yankee Stadium.

Lion's wear

After all this baseball talk, we cue Rocky J. Squirrel: "And now for something completely different....."

The Detroit Lions unveiled their new logo and uniforms today.  It's not a drastic change.  They've more or less just tweaked what they've traditionally had.  They're sticking with what's called the "leaping lion" as their logo (which will be on the helmets); but instead of a sillouette, the lion has some detail, including teeth.

Here are the uni's.  Officially, that's 'Honolulu blue.'

As you can see, not much has changed.  The numbers are a different font, but overall the uniform is very similar.

I've always been partial to the Lions uniforms because they're so similar to my alma mater Steel-High Rollers - two-time defending Pennsylvania state champs and THE BEST UNIFORMS IN THE STATE!!

New World Order

As a uniform traditionalist, Friday's Baltimore-Boston game was rockin' my world.
Do the Red Sox really need to stoop to alternate uniforms?

And the hats. My God, the hats....
I will give Boston credit for actually wearing red socks.

I don't have as much of a problem with the Orioles (although I do take exception with the hat), but what happened to wearing 'Baltimore' on the road? No consistency.

Phillies Kalas tribute

Here is the patch the Phillies will wear for the rest of the season in tribute to Harry Kalas.


I'm disappointed. I thought the Phils could've done much better for someone as beloved as Harry and a Hall of Famer. Maybe a logo with a microphone?  How about "Outta here" embroidered on the sleeve?  Granted, a stunned and shaken franchise had to whip this up almost overnight, but this just seemed like the default move.


I will say this, the Phils are doing a great job remembering Harry off the field. Comcast Sportsnet has added an 'HK' to its scoreboard. Comcast will also show Friday night's game with no announcers for the first inning.


The Phils have also planned a memorial service for Saturday afternoon at the Ballpark. Fans will be able to pass by Harry's casket, which will be behind home plate. Those in attendance will also get special momentos. But the best part? Admission AND PARKING are free.


By the way, the Nationals were wearing an alternate uni tonight with with a stars and stripes logo on the shirts and hats. Gimicky (and I think I've already explained that I hate gimicky uniforms).


And, did you watch tonight's game? Or, have you seen a game televised from Nationals Park? Why is one of the main camera angles on the roof? Why isn't there an angle from press box level? That camera angle is WAY too high.

Padres-Mets

Sorry Spence, but these Padres uniforms are bad, especially when they're juxtaposed with a white uniform.  They look dirty.

This is a much better road look.  (Notice the 40th anniversary patch on the sleeve.)

And what's with the Mets Citi Field inaugural season patch?  That's weak and unimaginative.
