The good, the bad and the ugly

Some observations from this weekend's games:

The good....

Temple coach Al Golden rockin' the cherry tie on the sideline. (This is a obviously a picture from last weekend's game at Penn State.) What a great, classy look.

The bad....

Yeah, this is not good. Red and red? Not good. They look like fire hydrants.

The ugly....

My eyes almost popped out when I caught a glimpse of the Univ. of Oregon uniforms. Ugh. The word puke comes to mind.

But then I saw this....

You have GOT to be kidding me with these. What is it about the Pacific Northwest? Are they color blind....or just tasteless?

What's old is new again

The 76'ers unveiled their new uniforms this week.

Here's a look at the back, and at the road uni.

Pretty good. I would've kept the blue trim on the road uniforms, like the one the Doctor wore.

Speaking of Doc, I had to drive downtown a few days ago and actually passed this building on Ridge Avenue.

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.
