…But I Know What I Like

I was in Milwaukee at the Brewers/Phils game on Friday night in the nosebleed seats right behind home plate with my Uni Watch shirt on. As we were leaing the game a lady commented she liked my Uni Watch shirt. I felt an instant bond with the lady.

I noticed that the Bengals are wearing their orange jerseys 3 times this season. Did the NFL relax their rule on wearing alternate jerseys only twice a year?

3 has always been the rule as far as I know.

I forget who it was who asked about this, but I was in Morgantown, WV this weekend and found out The Book Exchange sells the WVU baseball team authentic hats. All hats are sized and run a little small….whomever was looking for one, that is the place to contact.

… Chosen logos (nice find by Matthew Scher). …

link took my eye. One of Paul’s fellow ESPN Page 2 columnists, Tuesday Morning Quarterback, has taken to calling the Eagles the Philadelphia Nesharim, which is hebrew for Eagles, because theirs is the only logo (amongst NFL teams) which faces to the left, not the right.

Now, the hebrew version turns it around to face the same way!

An excerpt from Peter King’s column on SI.com today:

I think the NFL has more important things to do than to send memos like the one dispatched to the Packers, dated Aug. 2, on the oh-so-important issue of “Unauthorized Use of Improper Tape Color.” Seems the Packers were fined last year for wearing green tape spatting their shoes, and they’re only supposed to wear opaque tape, or the tape-color of their shoes. “That’s not the worst fine by the league,” cornerback Al Harris told me. “The worst is when you’re not showing the exact amount of white you’re supposed to be showing on your socks. If it’s just a little more, or a little less, you get fined. Those are the things that drive us crazy.”

[quote comment=”129139″]Kentucky appears to have a new white helmet stripe this season.

Kentucky will again be wearing solid blue helmets without stripping this season. The example abaove is a brand new helemt made by Schutt and the white stripe is removed prior to the first game.

Also interesting to note that all 12 schools in the SEC will be wearing the 75th anniversary logo on their jerseys this season.

That’s too bad. The stripe looks good.

[quote comment=”129143″]I guess the Mets got the MLB memo, because Rick Peterson actually had a jersey on yesterday!

It was amazing…….[/quote]

Peterson usually has a jersey on underneath his jacket.

Several readers reported seeing a green dot on the back of many players’ helmets during yesterday’s Steelers/Saints Hall of Fame Game. Haven’t been able to find a photo. Anyone know more about this?

I noticed this myself last night. From what I could tell, it was only the QB’s that had the green dot on their helmet. Something to do with the QB’s helmets being the only ones with radios in them?

[quote comment=”129156″][quote comment=”129145″]So what are those plastic things on the NFL helmets? Shower caps? Something to protect the helmet paint?

I’m confused.[/quote]
I know some times they’re used to indicate an injured player, similar to the red jersey. As a hoceky coach I know there has been a time or two that we’ve wanted one or two of those colored beanies for players coming back from concussion simply because they can go full speed in practice, but no contact. Simply put, they’re there to easily identify players who can/can’t do different things for whatever reasons.[/quote]

When we used them in high school, and they appear to have the same use here, they are used for special teams. During camp offensive and defensive players where different colored uniforms, as you all know, but when they do special teams its often a mix of people from both sides of the ball, so the helmet caps are an easy way for people to quickly take on a special teams identity.

So for example, if you’re doing a live punting drill, the kicking team might be a mix of offensive and defensive players, as is the returning team, but by putting the caps on the returning team people can tell who is on which side.

Also, they are not made of plastic but rather a kind of stretchy fabric with an elastic band at the bottom

[quote comment=”129125″]Interesting to see the Bengals final game of the season in Miami is a day game, but the Bengals will apparently be wearing white.

Doesn’t Miami always wear white at home during the day?[/quote]

They most certainly do. I would very surprised to see the Dolphins wearing their aqua jerseys during a day game. Then again they could just as easily wear the orange alternates – which would be a dumb move considering they’re playing the Bengals. I thing the website just put in white by default since that’s what they usually wear on the road.

I know that drives the players nuts, but I still prefer the NFL’s uniform policy to MLB’s non-existent enforcement….

The Steelers were wearing white shoes in the HOF games vs. the Saints. Too bad, cause I really like the black shoe look for sports. But they didn’t contact me to ask me for my opinion. :)

Yes, the Phins do wear white at home. The Bengals had better bring their black jerseys with them, too.

I really dispise this attitude. The NFL (and many orgnizations, including government) have many people working for them and can multi-task just fine.

Its not like the guys handling the Mike Vick ordeal are stopping what they’re doing to police tape color.

No, they hired separate people to do that!

On this past Friday Juan Encarnacion and relief pitcher Randy Flores wore the Cards regular striped socks while everone else wore solid red. It was nice to see everybody on the team showing socks (even if they were a lil mismatched). No screencaps maybe somebody whos less of a luditte can find some.

On SU athletic website – a big navy block “S” on both sides, actually a little big but not bad.

Never liked the “no logo” look on the orange helmet as it was too generic, warmed up to the helmet number last 2 years, but still didnt quite have that Floyd Little, Larry Csonka NCAA style numeral look. Check it out. Also has a NY on the back as well, a little lame, but an attempt at reminding people that SU is NY State’s only Major college f-ball team.

GREEN DOT HELPS REF TRACK WHO HAS AUDIO

One of the new things we noticed during last night’s Hall of Fame game was that each of the quarterbacks had affixed to the backs of their helmets a small green dot.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tells us that the sticker is a new device being used to help officials confirm that only one player on offense is wearing a helmet with a radio receiver from the coaching staff.

So, if a team plans to put two quarterbacks on the field at the same time, one of them must change helmets before entering the game.

It’s uncommon but not unheard of for two quarterbacks to be on the field at the same time. Last year, the Falcons ran a few plays with both Matt Schaub and Michael Vick on the field. In 1995, Kordell Stewart regularly entered the game as a receiver or as a running back.

During the offseason, there was some discussion about allowing one player on defense to have a radio in his helmet as well, but nothing to date has come of it. Also, there is a movement to place a receiver in the helmet of each offensive player, so that they can all hear the signals being called out by the quarterback.

I found this on ebay, looks a bit photoshopped to me though.

Michigan switched their football uniforms from Nike to Adidas, but at Media Day they were still wearing the link

I think I’ve figured it out! Doing some research I found that the Jacksonville Tars (Aaron’s minor league team) changed it’s name to the Jacksonville Braves in 1953 coinciding with his arrival. link.

Although I can’t find any reference of his uni number, he is clearly in a Braves uni in link taken in Jacksonville. Thus making it possible that he could have worn a 2 digit number that starts with 5.

Marty’s uniform designs were fascinating and, yes, did remihd me of dolng the same thing, but far less skillfully, when I was young.

In fact, I STILL doodle number fonts on those occasions where doodling still comes into play…but I wish I did as well as Marty does.

When link was the Tars, they were a Giants affiliate. 1953 marked Hank’s first year with the club as well as Jax’s first year as a Braves affiliate. This was also the year that they moved from Boston to Milwaukee. As for the M on the helmet, well I’m sure they shared equipment with the majors in those days. link to that site’s homepage for you minor league buffs.

Great look at the uni history of Cork City FC Kits, but I think that Paul might like to see the history of this also

Let me start by saying that I loved the post on Marty Hick. It is the Marty Hicks of the world that keep life interesting.

I do have to be a bit of a nooge though. In Marty’s rendering of the home/away New Jersey Devils jersey the white away half, (which was more than likely “home” when Marty drew it, God I hate the Bizzaro world home/away of the NHL. I digress…) anyway the half of the sweater that is white has a red shoulder in Marty’s drawing. The Devils have black shoulders both home and away.

Having said that, I have to add keep on drawin’ Marty!

I like the Syracuse helmet, it’s the best change they’ve made in years, not that they had set the bar very high, but still.

Another story link on the Syracuse link change.

I think you need more then NY on the helmet to be New York’s program. What Rutgers has proven is that the New York metro area loves a winner. If you do not win you are forgotten.

Any reason that the Cork kits migrated from Red to Green, was it to be a little different than GAA? When I think of the Peoples Republic of Cork, I see only Red. Not just because I am in Limerick mind you.

“And look, here’s where I reconfigured the American and National Leagues in three divisions each — years before they actually did it themselves!”

I noticed that in this picture you have the St. Petersburg Devil Rays. And this realignment was done well before actual realignment and therefore before the Devil Rays existed. You mean you actually predicted the mascot of the Tampa Bay team?

I don’t regularly keep up with batting practice attire, but I noticed at the game that the link. Not sure if this is a link – I just got to the game really early this time.

And we also managed to take a picture with the link while he was still the sole owner of the homerun record (which didn’t last too long thereafter..)

Ok, after seeing the replica HOF jerseys, I have a complaint.
Why is it that whenever sports stores make women’s clothes, they’re in pastels, or have crystals, or some other ridiculous change? Is it really so hard to believe that I would actually want to wear my team’s colors and a pink shirt with their logo put on it?
I guess until the apparel companies realize that I’m trying to support my team and not win a beauty contest, I’m stuck ordering from the kids’ and mens’ sections…

The outer lines were because it is a high school field, thus wider hashmarks. The NFL’s are tighter.[/quote]

Fawcett Stadium hosts the Hall Of Fame Game (pro), Malone College and Walsh University home games (NAIA college), and Glen Oak, McKinley, and Timken High Schools. So, three hash mark rules, three sets of hash marks.

Ok but that doesnt explain why there were hashes about two feet apart the entire way across the 20 yard line.

The widest set of hash marks are for high school games, the middle set are for college games, and the inside set are for pro games. There are also extra X’s for the kickoffs, markers for differing yardage number placements, and markers for the extra point tries.

ROFL…[/quote]Wow…Ryan Leaf?

They have wider field goal posts in high school (the posts are the same width as the hashes under both rulesets), so the kicks are actually easier.
