The San Antonio Spurs Coyote, wearing what may be the world’s only jersey with an exclamation point on the front. Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.
The Browns are wearing throwbacks this weekend:

And check out the Otto Graham throwback helmetlink

For all those watching the Easton – P’burg game on ESPN2. Check out the pants on the Rovers. They were from my mothers era at Easton. Great jersey too. Go Rovers.
More Easton – P’burg Stuff. Great look for the Easton coach. That is why coaches should be made to wear suits.
Does anyone else think that the Coyote looks like he’s been dabbling in a few too many illegal activities?
Haha..Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Enjoy all the throwbacks tonight..it’s almost like Christmas around here..haha..
The Spur’s Coyote may be wearing the only uni with an exclamation point now.
Didn’t the Expo’s Youppi wear “!” on his uniform back in the day?
After some research, he still does, now with the Canadiens: link

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. I longtime reader but only post once and a while. Thank you all for great entertainment. And those are some snazzy pants on the Easton Team
Happy Thanksgiving to Uniwatch World!
The Easton/P’burgh game is very pleasing on the eyes. It’s too bad they’re not playing on grass.
Thanks, Cory.
I tried to post that last night but couldn’t. The buttons were too easy to use.

Here it is again.
Sorry, I had to do it to redeem myself.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I noticed the “on the front” qualifier after I posted the comment. But I had to give a shout out for Youppi.
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Stormy, This is the first year on turf. The college just renivated the field. I can remember lots of muck games. Go Rovers!
I mentioned this late last night, so it was probably missed, but has anyone ever noticed that in shots of the Flutie Hail Mary play against Miami that his high-hookup chinstrap goes over the sides of his facemask, rather than through the inside?
Check out the highlights that are bound to be shown all day. You can see it really clearly in the shot of him celebrating. Pics are in yesterday’s comments, #152ish
On the Easton and P’burg game – both jerseys are awesome but I got to give the nod to Easton. Those are hot! Happy Thanksgiving!
So if the Spurs win another championship, I guess that means the mascot’s number will change to 3!

Hmmmmmmmm……that helmet…….
though not exact, awfully close
This Easton v. P’burg game is definately a pleasure to watch … and clears up a question I have had all week.
I was very excited to see the suits on Nolan and Del Rio this week and was waaay dissapointed but couldnt figure out why. They both looked like funeral directors on the sideline. I mean, a BLACK SUIT???? This isn’t a formal occasion, it’s a football game. It has really bothered me. Then seeing the Easton coaches amazing look with his SPORTCOAT made me realize that the suits are overkill. If you look back at the great fashion of coaches past, almost all wore sportcoats with non-matching pants, not suits. I think the suits look way out of place on the gridiron, the sportcoat looks classic. Just my 2cents
The image is small, but you can clearly see Youppi’s exclamation point on the rear of his Expos jersey link.
I’m still looking for a larger image as well, but at least he kept his traditional uniform number after switching sports. :o)
Look at link trying to get into the mix. I can think of 20 worse uniforms than the ones they highlited.
Is that supposed to be TWO! (like you’re yelling it at someone) or the factorial of 2 (which happens to equal 2)?
That basketball the coyote is holding looks like one of the “old”, 8-panel variety. Even the mascots don’t even want to use the new ball! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Youppi! wearing only a hockey jersey Ashley!

There. I said it.
Does anybody notice that the ball he is holding is not the new ball the NBA is using, but it is the Wilson Infusion.
Happy Turky Day! Go Lions!
Watching the Lions game on TV right now and two things come to my attention and they both have to do with Roy Williams #11.
1) Though the Lions wear socks that are blue and white, he is only wearing blue.
2) Look closely, his jersey is not tucked into his pants but rather tucked up into his back/rib pad.
The game just started, sorry I don’t have visual evidence yet.
Is anyone watching the dog show on NBC? I know this is not sport as in ball/bat/puck, etc, but it is the funniest thing I have ever seen: relatively out of shape men and women running straight-legged in suits. And yes, it is some uni stuff, as in the stuff they are wearing.
The si.com article is a joke. As if the coyotes have one of the worst jerseys in sports. They used to but I feel the new ones are simple and cool.
Disappointed in the Lions/Dolphins game… No throwback uni’s. Hopefully Dallas and Tampa Will do some..
Since Oh St is a Nike team..check the UA logo here—cheerleaders need to toe the line, too, eh?
take two.

The Hiroshima Carp mascot, link, shall not be outdone!
What’s up with the Lions’ punter? Long sleeves and a glove indoors?

SI missed the boat. The Oregon football team ought to have three spots all by itself (and I’m a U of O alum! The agony of having to watch my alma mater in that crap!).

I think it’s actually a spalding ball (you can see the “s” on the right and the “ing” on the left, but yeah, it’s not the new ball, for sure.

When was the last time that a turkey day game was done without any throwbacks?
I’m sure RBK isn’t happy about not seeing any special jersey’s advertised on the big day…

Looks like we have another Kenny Rogers BP hat. ;o)
Please read back to Mondays entry. I believe you can see how I truly feel.
ugh not e v e r y topic that gets overexposed is “THE NEW KENNY ROGERS BP HAT”
please top with these references.
Cowboy’s looking SHARP in the throwbacks today.
Happy Thanksgiving Uni Watch family! Browns throwback helmets look good. I would like to see them wear a WHITE throwback helmet also. Lions blue jerseys look good, but the black trim is overkill.

It is when trying to come up with viable candidates for the Ekky Award for “most referenced after-the-fact idea”.
these should be the ‘boys full time jerseys. sooo good.
I really miss the Lions’ throwbacks. Those are my favorite NFL throwbacks.

notice she’s got color-coordinated toenail polish. I bet she’d make a good UniWatcher
I honestly can’t believe how well the Cowboys are playing, especially Tony Romo. He just threw his 5th touchdown.
Those uni’s look great.
For anybody looking for some pics from the Easton-P’burg game, take a look link
Congrats to the Rovers, there defense has been stifling all year. And good luck to them Saturday against Liberty, the only team to beat them this year. And good luck to P’burg next week against Elizabeth. Great show by both teams.
Anyone else notice how the Cowboy players do not all have the same socks. Some of the players have mostly white socks with blue stripes and others have mostly blue socks with white stripes. No pics as of yet.
The teams that were involved with the Thanksgiving Day games last year did not wear throwback uniform, with the exception of the Cowboys. I wonder why this tradition has backed off the past couple of years, specially the height of uni watching.
I have a question for NY fans. Do you like the Giants uniforms? They are classic, but I was watching the NFL Network today and they had clips of Strahan from earlier in his career before the uni switch. I think I might like the helmets and the colors of the older link better. I personally don’t like the newer link. This is coming from a Bronco fan that would love to see the throwback link uniforms comeback full time. Any thoughts?
Not sure if this has ever been covered here but does anyone else think that Chris Hovan on the Bucs looks like a train wreck in a uniform?
Not sure if anyone knows, with the Cowboys in their throwbacks. Do they use the same helmets they use every week, or do they order new ones to make the throwback helmet?
I’m leaning towards the former where they use current silver ones and repaint them as the white throwbacks. It’s more cost effective I believe. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
As promised yesterday, the link I mentioned.

I know that they wore the same uniforms and helmets in the preseason, I am sure that Jerry Jones has enough money to buy white helmets in addition to the silver ones. The Florida Gators wore white throwback helmets this year and they actually wore them in preseason practices to make sure they were worn in for the game.

I personally love the giants jerseys. Well, I loved them right after they switched them, with the old whites that looked like link. I personally think their new whites are link, but as far as the blues go, i like the royal blue color more than the navy. Also it hink the logo on the helmet is nicer too, and the pants are gray, not white which looks better for the white jerseys.

Watching my first Thanksgiving Day football with the Denver-KC game and did you notice that the Chiefs are wearing their throwbacks? It doesn’t get mentioned often, but the Chiefs and Bears uni-wise are to the NFL what the Yankees are to MLB. They wear their longtime designs, which never get tweaked because they’re perfect the way they are.
Anyway, happy Thanksgiving to all Uni-readers out there! Back to the game.
tim here wishes he had nfl network to watch the game on. darn you time warner cable!
and cant wait to see the browns throwbacks on sunday. sent it into paul the minute we saw it on wednesday on the browns website.
I cant get the KC-DEN game here in NYC because of Time Warner…. but i hear its white pants vs white pants tonight?

They could have worn the Dallas Texans uniforms from pre-KC or gray facemasks from the Len Dawson era
Okay, jersey number aficionados…
With all of the flashbacks ESPN is doing to the 1984 BC/Miami game, I was reminded that both starting QBs wore jersey numbers in the 20s (20-Kosar; 22-Flutie).
Can anyone think of a Division I game after that in which both starting quarterbacks wore a number in the 20s?
Excellent job by SI. And it was just a matter of time before Si jumped into the uniform watch waters.

Heres a pic of the Cowboys mismatched socks
link
can’t find any pics but a few things i noticed from today’s games.
1- Tony Romo’s hat that he wore during postgame and while on the sideline. it was just a big D, similar to the duke D.
2- Don’t remember which player, but one of the miami player’s jersey had s stretch band in the bottom so it fit tightly against his skin. I noticed it right after he got tackled and his jersey came untucked
3- Cowboys and Bucs game featured some extremely good looking unis. Those white boys helmets were truly great.
[quote comment=”24510″]Heres a pic of the Cowboys mismatched socks

The socks aren’t different; Romo just has his pant legs lower, which covers up a lot of the blue.
Man… only the Cowboys wore throwbacks today. Thanksgiving should always be throwback day! This is just terrible.

Illegal activities??? Nah, he was just building up his appetite!
Having grown up in KC and being a lifelong fan of the Royals and Chiefs, I have 2 new campaigns to start.
I am gonna start the “Ditch the Yellow” campaign for the Chiefs. They should go just red and white or even throw a little silver in there. Ace the the white facemasks while your at it.
I am also gonna start the “Bring back the light blue unis” campaign for the Royals. Give me the look of U.L. Washington, Amos Otis, Frank White, George Brett, Willie Wilson, Hal McCrae….
JUst watched the Chefs do the Broncos tonight in what was clearly today’s best game, and I couldn’t help but seriously covet Herm’s awesome hat. Fire Engine red, low profile cap w/ a great, simple KC on it, I gotta get my hands on that.
PS…. I love the expression of misery on Shanahan….. oh, it’s like he hasn’t had a bowel movement since last Sunday.. sweet sweet sweet.

This is why the NFL Network shouldn’t broadcast games. My roommate is from Wichita and a huge KC Chiefs fan and guess what – Time Warner has the cable monopoly there. Home state team and he can’t even watch it.
It looked like the Cowboys wore silver pants with the white & blue jerseys. Wouldn’t white pants with stripes work better? But that would require all new pants.
And finally, what I’m thankful for this year: the Dodgers putting nameplates back on jerseys. Hooray!
How about the promo on NFL network for the Bengals ravens game with the shot of Chad Johnson in the old Bengals uniform….If you missed the game on NFL network, you didn’t miss much from the commentary/visual department. Gumbel and Collinsworth were horrible, the on screen graphics were annoying and huge, and a lack of instant replays
Watching the ‘Boys/Bay game on tape made me realize two things. One, those Dallas throwbacks were sweet. Two, it’s much better to listen to the game sans announcers (the VCR didn’t record the feed) so I can only hear the sounds of the game and the crowd.
Burrill, sweet hockey jerseys.

Teebz, I’m with you on the SI photo gallery that keeps popping up here—it is the new KR’s BP hat.

It’s not unusual to see nfl players with varying levels of white showing. link in normal uni. Note the low whites. Pant length has very little to do with the low white look. It’s more dependent believe it or not on the height of the white sock.
Also, the Cowboys do have an extra helmet for these throwbacks.

You’ve got my vote with the Royals … the powder blues are what set them apart. I’d love to see them come back. I don’t agree with the Chiefs getting rid of the yellow, though. They’d look just like Nebraska, not that there’s anything wrong with the way Nebraska looks, but they wouldn’t be the Chiefs without the red & gold.
The only change I would ever make to the Chiefs unis is to ban the white-on-white, always and forever.
Guess I probably ought to add that obviously the Chiefs’ helmets wouldn’t look like Nebraska’s. My point, though, is that there aren’t a whole lot of teams with a red-and-gold color scheme. Plenty of teams do red-and-white.
