By now most of you have probably heard about Scott Proctor’s equipment bonfire after Saturday night’s game at Yankee Stadium. (In a world of cell phone cameras, no one got a picture of this? Come on!)
Usually it’s the other way around, with the fans burning a jersey in effigy. But Proctor is the latest example of an athlete who, faced with the proverbial last straw, decides to hold an imprompty uniform cremation ceremony. Let’s take a look at some other torch bearers (pun intended) who’ve used their uniforms as tinder.
- In 1982, Frank LaCorte of the Houston Astros set his #31 uniform on fire after a game in which he walked the bases loaded in a relief appearance. Why? The 31 reminded him of a 3-1 count.
- Jose Mesa claimed last year that he’d matured throughout his years in the big leagues. His explanation: “I used to rip my uniform and everything. I’d throw the shoes in the garbage, I’d burn the hat.”
- Ernie Broglio supposedly burned his entire uniform in 1966 after taking too much heat from his teammates and the Cubs fans for his dismal performance.
- According to this page, “Toronto fans were particularly harsh with [Damaso] Garcia, especially after he burned his uniform in the clubhouse after one of his poorer performances.”
- Former US National Team member Jeff Agoos didn’t react well to being cut from the 1994 World Cup squad and responded by torching his jersey (supposedly in a fireplace).
- Then there’s the most coordinated and entertaining uniform bonfire of all time: the actual bonfire held by the Denver Broncos in 1962 to forever rid themselves of their infamous vertically striped socks. (And according to Paul, ” This looks like any other bonfire photo but is really and truly the Broncos vertically striped socks bonfire [indeed it is — PL].”)
- Gino Odjick of the QMJHL didn’t do it himself, but according to this message board, his jersey was lit on fire by a fan during a game while Odjick was sitting in the penalty box. (And yes, it says he had to roll around on the ice to put it out.)
And just to give equal time to the opposite end of the temperature spectrum, Cardinals shortstop Brendan Ryan fell victim to a classic prank the other day when his uniform was frozen by some of his teammates (details here). When he tried to thaw it out with a hair drier, he ended up blowing a fuse and knocking out the power in Tony LaRussa’s office. At least he didn’t start a fire.
Over to you, Paul…
July Party Itinerary: I’ll be in St. Louis one week from today, July 10th, and will be convening a Uni Watch party for the occasion. Our venue will be McGurks — let’s shoot to meet there at 8pm.
Precisely two weeks later, on July 24th, Uni Watch will go international with our first-ever Canadian party, in Toronto. Festivities will commence at 8pm upstairs at the Imperial Pub and Library. And for those of you with stalker-ish tendencies, I am tentatively slated to “perform” the following evening at the Pontiac Quarterly, which is curated by Uni Watch Ontario bureau chief Liz Clayton, who’s a bit of a stalker herself.
Membership Update: I mailed out more membership kits yesterday and am now completely caught up with everything that’s been printed. So except for members King, Patterson, Lee, Bridgett, Versel, Brandt, Hart, and Eckensberger (whose cards have been designed but not yet printed — soon, soon), if your membership card is linked on the active roster and shown in the card gallery, then it’s either in your hands by now or on its way. As for the handful of you whose cards haven’t yet been designed, Scott’s working on those right now. And those of you who’ve joined at Level Four or above should expect to hear from Scott shortly regarding your logo designs.
We’re now up to 199 enrollees — not bad for the first month. Friendly reminder: All members who join by the end of July will have a special “Charter Member” designation added to their membership cards when they renew next year.
Uni Watch News Ticker: “I was at the Cedar Rapids Kernels game Friday night and saw a couple of things,” writes Joe Wagner. “First, the Kernels (class-A affiliate of the Anaheim Angels) wore special jerseys to pay tribute to veterans. They actually didn’t look that bad in person. They were playing the Kane County Cougers — an Oakland A’s farm team — and apparently the parent club requires their affiliates to wear white shoes as well. They looked awful, especially with the couple of guys who wore their pants high to show off the black socks.” … I’ve previously shown illustration templates of the new Texas A&M uniforms. Now, thanks to Glenn Stern, we have photos — look here, here, here, here, and here. … Ronnie Poore reports that there’s yet another movie in production featuring period uniforms. This one is Our Lady of Victory, based on girls’ basketball team from a Catholic school winning a championship in 1972. “Not much uniform detail in the photo gallery so far,” says Ronnie, “but the players do wear skirts [and striped tube socks! — PL]. Some shots of the real team, from the school’s web site, are here.” Yee-fucking-haw! … “During Glen Davis’s introduction to the Boston media, I saw that his left sleeve still had the designer tag that you ordinarily remove when you buy the suit,” writes Matt Englander. “I once did the same thing while wearing a new suit to a job interview. In the middle of the interview, and without missing a beat, the guy opened his drawer and handed me a pair of scissors to cut the thing off. Pretty mortifying.” … Good spot by Matt Mitchell, who writes: “Vince Young made an appearance last week at Ladainian Tomlinson’s annual summer football camp here at Baylor Stadium. I thought the Pro Bowl jersey was Young’s (I thought somebody else may have had dibs on No. 10), but if you look closely you can make out ‘McNair’ across his back, so this was apparently a shout-out to Vince’s boyhood idol, former Titans QB Steve McNair.” … Great find by Matt Olson, who stumbled across this page devoted to NCAA equipment trucks. … Aaron Peters recently attended a Myrtle Beach Pelicans game and got some nice pics, including this shot of an Astros-inspired throwback design that the team wore last year. … Great scene yesterday in New York, where the Rangers introduced new signees Chris Drury and Scott Gomez, both of whom were wearing No. 23 jerseys. Both players have worn 23 in the past, so they flipped a puck to determined who’d get to wear it with the Rangers. Drury won. Details here. … Lots of excitement in the soccer world yesterday, as the L.A. Galaxy’s new jersey was apparently leaked. … Classic moment during last night’s Mets/Rockies game, as the ever-alert Keith “I Love Keith Hernandez” Hernandez forcefully opined that MLB players “should wear their regular team uniforms” in the All-Star Game, “instead of those league uniforms.” When play-by-play man pointed out that the league jerseys are only worn during the home run derby, His Keithness replied, “Oh, that’s right.” I’d love to put Hernandez in the same booth with Ron Santo, but the space-time continuum might never recover.
Hey, just found your page and I never knew there were people out there like me who go crazy over unifroms. I intend to send out for a membership here by the end of the week. Great site and I will be reading all the time now, thanks.
P.S.- I was wondering if I joined I could get a ’79 pirates inspired card?
The Kernels’ jerseys are terrible. The stripes don’t line up, the sleeves look stupid, and the hat doesn’t match (though I’m sure that’s more of a budget issue). They look like a mid-90’s NBA jersey.
The Warriors have had their link with 2 of their 3 draft picks.

When I saw it was going to be a tribute to vets night, I was assuming we’d get camo unis like the Padres do. Maybe I was happy to no see that.
And yes, they wore their regular hats (which has an insipid new logo, IMHO). Their old logo was much better:

Compare their new uni here:

With last year’s here:

I much prefer last year’s.
The Dodgers had a bonfire, too. Back when they had white mesh BP caps (first or second year of that program, so … 99 or 2000?), Kevin Brown and the boys got sick of them, so they had a bonfire in one of the bullpens. No links yet, because I actually have things to do. Someone with more time/energy: go find it.
McGurk’s is cool, but it will get packed on the inside quick. The outside has plenty of room and a cool outdoor bar. I will try to make it with my orange 1971 era Astros hat.

The USA Today Sports section yesterday featured an article on the rebound of former Cardinals phenom Rick Ankiel as an outfielder in the minors. They had a picture of him from his pitching days featuring the Cards striped stirrups and they were FAKE!
After a quick search, I found link shot that clearly shows him wearing the faux stirrups. Kinda weak, but still better than PJ pants, I guess.

While watching the Met’s game I heard the same thing but Keith redeemed himself when they started talking about football. He grew up a Chargers fan and said that he has a “special place in his heart” for the powder blue uni’s and wished that they would go back to them. All is forgiven.

While the classic (read: real) stirrup look is always preferred, I’ll take just about anything over the “pajama” pants. Hell, even if you’re going to ditch the stirrups altogether and go with a full-length pant, at least have common decency to them tapered, not just baggy and drooping below the ankle. It just looks sloppy.

I could do without the templated piping, but the color scheme and logo are nice. Besides, sash = link = wankers.

Because you just never hear Keith Hernandez talking about Keith Hernandez or his appearances on “Seinfeld” or about just how important first base is defensively.
I much prefer the old Galaxy jersey, if only because it has less disgusting advertising on it.
Another lame attempt at uni-watch esque banter:
link
the other day, (week?) someone posted a great piece about pinstriped unis and how the template of the uni relates to the shoulder transition.
in watching last nights twins/yanks game, i was going nuts inside my head in viewing the twins pinstripe transition vs. that of the yankees. i guess i was wondering why every pinstriped team wouldnt use the same jersey template?
whomever this pinstriped poster was, could you either redirect me to the post, or repost it here?

I usually prefer the set in sleeves (creates a stronger shoulder line), but for pinstripes I think raglan looks much better, because you don’t have that awkward link look. Clean from all sides. Of course, link.
As for why not every team uses the exact same jersey template, would we really want them to? No other major sport requires all the teams to wear the exact same jersey cut.
Scott Gomez wore #11 with Team USA. However, since Messier’s number has been retired, that’s not going to happen. He wore #22 in the CHL All-Star, but defenseman Thomas Pock already wears #22.
#32 maybe?

I don’t remember the source of that original discussion. But what you’re basically describing is the difference between a link (which is what the Yankees use) and a set-in sleeve (which is what the Twins use). There are some non-pinstriped teams that use raglan sleeves as well (the Red Sox and Tigers, e.g.), but it’s not as noticeable if there are no pinstripes.

yup thats exactly what i wanted!
i know that sports historically dont use the same template (heck in football there are many different jersey templates on the same team based on skill position).
and of course i wouldnt expect teams to use a universal cut. but when, in baseball, the raglan sleeves look so much better on a pinstriped uniform, why wouldnt all teams using pinstripes use the raglan sleeved template?
in this situation, yes i want these select teams to use that template.

I would tend to agree – as I said above, I think the raglan looks a lot better with pinstripes.

Seniority has little to do with a guy who came over from the Rangers’ biggest rival. If I were Pock, I’d be demanding some retribution (re: cash) if Gomez asks for his number.
It’s not like Gomez doesn’t have a few spare dollars to spend now.

Is it just me or do Penn State’s Helmets look kind of I don’t know link
The Kane County Cougars look hideous in their uniforms – they wear white pinstripes at home with their white shoes but no socks are shown – they look ridiculous. Went to the game last week vs. the Burlington Bees – they wore their pantlegs up high – some even with some white sanitary showing. They looked like ballplayers – the Cougars looked (and played) like a joke. Just my 2 cents….

[quote comment=”112928″][quote comment=”112923″][quote comment=”112905″]Scott Gomez wore #11 with Team USA. However, since Messier’s number has been retired, that’s not going to happen. He wore #22 in the CHL All-Star, but defenseman Thomas Pock already wears #22.
#32 maybe?[/quote]
I would think that Pock would show respect to the seniority and give up #22 if Gomez wanted it. Should be interesting.
Was looking at the two #23 jerseys yesterday – could you tell if they were the new jerseys? I couldn’t – so if they were, that’s a good sign.[/quote]
Seniority has little to do with a guy who came over from the Rangers’ biggest rival. If I were Pock, I’d be demanding some retribution (re: cash) if Gomez asks for his number.
It’s not like Gomez doesn’t have a few spare dollars to spend now.[/quote]

It was odd, though, seeing Gomez in a Rangers’ jersey.

Someone explain to me why the Aggies now have silver in their uniforms. Yeah, it’s the silver anniversary of the 1957 team that won the Southwest Conference and had a Heisman Trophy winner, but that can’t be it.
The “girls” basketball team is the 1972 National Champion Imaculata Women’s Basketball team. They played before the NCAA even sanctioned women’s basketball and were the first ever women’s basketball powerhouse team. In the picture that Paul posted, former Penn State women’s coach Rene Portland is on the far left. Her politcal views however are to the far right.

Paul-
With the NFL folding NFL Europa last week this might be a good time to do a “tribute” to the WFL/NFL Europe with an overview of the good and bad uniforms used over the years.
Put me down for preferring the new Galaxy uni… especially the new crest. Far better than the old uni, which looked like a reject from the old NASL.

I don’t know if anyone’s said this yet but burning the Yankee uniform is the baseball equivalent of flag burning. Yeah, this is hyperbole, but he’s burning the uniform of Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Dimaggio, and other all-time greats. That uniform hasn’t changed in more than 70 years. If Proctor followed up his act with a comment like “I burned it because I’m not fit to wear it” and demoted himself to Scranton, that’d be different. But he called it a joke, and while I can’t speak for every Yankee fan I can say I find it bordering on the sacreligious.

Actually not true. While the general paneling is the same on the new jerseys, I believe around the time of the All-Star game this past year RbK said they have a few different layout templates for the panels, so that it wouldn’t be cookie-cutter uniforms for each team.
Not withstanding, I think you’re thinking of the WNBA =P
Also, I saw in an e-mail I got from the Philadelphia Flyers mailing list that they will not reveal the look of the new uniform until September 16th, which I guess will be the first pre-season game.

I thought it would be pretty interesting to see that large “monster” logo on the front, but from what I hear, living just about an hour from Cleveland and being a huge hockey fan, they are putting the monster on the shoulder, and the M on the front. So it seems that the secondary logo is the primary logo on the jerseys, which will be odd.
On the Oregon State Football Uniforms, this is a quote from the article. You have to wonder if the author ever even saw the unis:
The new look is something we are proud of and provides us with a unique yet traditional appearance

the la kit is SHIT! the galaxy kit looks like every other kit in the league. the old jerseys had class. the stripe and even the banana yellow and green it worked somehow.

Don’t know if those GW unis were real, but what I remember more were the Mike Jarvis-era Colonials uniforms: very plain. Gold at home with navy letters, navy on the road with gold letters—and no trim or logos anywhere. They looked like elementary school uniforms.
With regards to the new LA Galaxy unis….has there ever been another professional team that has not only changed uniforms mid season but also their sheild/symbol and colors?
The one thing I do like about the Galaxy’s new uniform is that it no longer looks like they slapped a “Herbalife” link link on the chest.

[quote comment=”113024″][quote comment=”112974″]I don’t know if anyone’s said this yet but burning the Yankee uniform is the baseball equivalent of flag burning. Yeah, this is hyperbole, but he’s burning the uniform of Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Dimaggio, and other all-time greats. That uniform hasn’t changed in more than 70 years. If Proctor followed up his act with a comment like “I burned it because I’m not fit to wear it” and demoted himself to Scranton, that’d be different. But he called it a joke, and while I can’t speak for every Yankee fan I can say I find it bordering on the sacreligious.[/quote]

as far as the flag and clothing goes.
it is illegal to use an american flag as clothing. (ie. take one out of a box and use it as a wrap or fashion the fabric into a garment)
it is not illegal to use the image of a flag on clothing (ie. kobe’s flag adidas in 01, an american flag print on a shirt, that bathing suit that was previously shown.)
Not all sashes are created equal. The DTOM kits’ sashes go from uppper left to lower right, while LA’s and River’s go from right to left. That’s a world of difference!
I kid of course. The Adidas bib templates look like ass because the sash is truncated prematurely. Good sashes go all the way to the top of the shirt.

I know it’s not illegal to wear flag print, but my point–which was admittedly tangential to the original statement–was that people wring their hands about burning flags (which is also legal, if reprehensible), but somehow it’s no less a sign of disprespect to take the symobls (stars and strips) of the flag and put it on a bikini?

Also Todd, can you find pictures of the uniforms GW wore during Tom Penders’s tenure? I seem to remember them being even more plain than those above. I think they (away uniforms maybe?) were dark navy with gold lettering and no trim whatsoever.

They have club hockey. Many division 1 schools have club hockey. It’s quite a big deal, but the talent is not that of a DIII team.
I tend to make this clarity as I played DIII hockey and got tired of DI club guys trying to say how good they were, but if we had played each other it wouldn’t have been fait. It would be like the Colts playing a DIII football team.

Kentucky has a club hockey team. They are a Div. II team and are in the ACHA. They also have a rather large following with upwards of 600 people at home games. I’ve heard this is not typical of Div.II teams. Part of the reason for this is that the glass is very low. If you are in the front row the glass is down at your waist. This allows for a lot of interaction between the fans and players (namely opposing players). Ashley Judd is not the only beautiful Kentucky native to be on the poster.

As I heard the story, the team sent her the jersey and asked if she would send back a picture of her in the jersey. They unexpectedly got that picture back and the rest is history. I’ve seen those posters sell for $50 bucks on ebay and they gave them out for free here (in Lex.) on more than one occasion over the years.
By the way I think this would be considered one of the best giveaway items at a sporting event ever.

I actually had not noticed that, perhaps the person who laid out the poster design was so distracted by Ashley Judd that he didn’t notice the misspelling. I think it’s probably a miracle that he included all the ‘I’s in IUPUI.

I think the reason people generally don’t get as offended when someone wears clothing that looks like the flag (gaudy or not) is because the person wearing it is usually showing their support for the flag and the country, not protesting it.

I played High School Hockey in Ohio, and know from experience that the OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association) prohibits the use of sponsorship logos of companys on jerseys. I think the only exception is that of the jersey company itself which normally has a tag on the bottom of the jersey. I don’t know if other states have the same rule.
