Blowing Up The Lesson Plan

By
Movie-Theatre-Words_2.jpg

By Mr. Grzegorek, Your Substitute Teacher

My favorite days in school, besides the ones involving an American Gladiator-style obstacle course, were the ones when whatever teacher had called in sick. That meant substitute teachers, and that usually meant movies instead of books (with the exception of those subs that took their jobs waaayy too seriously).

Coincidentally, I find myself sitting in for Paul today, and I’m looking at a very lengthy lesson plan in front of me. Nike”¦ blah, blah, blah”¦ striped socks”¦ blah, blah, blah”¦ captain patches”¦ blah, blah, blah”¦ hemming, piping, vertical lettering”¦ blah, blah blah. That lesson plan just got buried in Caitlin and Tucker’s litterbox.

Instead: Uni Watch Movie Day! We’ve got a full slate of uniform-related movies to look at, so sit back and don’t throw spitballs.

Movie #1. We’re starting with a two-part tour of Mitchell & Ness in Philadelphia, which features loads of fascinating information. I’m not giving away any of my favorites, but watch and find out how 12,000 yards of wool flannel and a Pirates jersey got Peter Capolino interested in making throwbacks. Be sure to watch both parts.

Movie #2. Every once in awhile you’ll watch a horrible player and mutter something to the effect of, “He should be bagging groceries,” or, “He might as well be doing landscaping for a living instead of playing baseball.” Well, the last comment wouldn’t be too far off for the following player. He’s already prepared for that career.

Movie #3. This next video has been mentioned in the ticker before, but I think it’s worth revisiting, if just because the baseball season is coming to a close (and because our main teacher, who’s out sick, is featured at the end of the movie).

Movie #4. As good as that was, Tulane’s baseball team is about to put you in a very sour mood. You don’t even want to know what they wore during the 1985 season. (Warning: Very long video, but thankfully you can just stop watching after the first few seconds to avoid vomiting all over your desk.)

Movie #5. Our next selection should put you in a better mood. I’m not sure whether I’m linking to this because what this girl says is interesting, or just because she’s cute.

Movie #6. Ever dream about the day you climb into your parent’s attic and find a piece of sports history that is worth millions? Be jealous and grit your teeth as you listen to the following interview of a man who found the oldest manufactured hockey stick in existence.

Movie #7. Now I’m in a cranky mood. How come my dad’s parents threw out his collection of Mickey Mantle baseball cards? How come all I find in my grandfather’s attic are empty bottles of cheap vodka and cans of peppers? Let’s lighten the mood with this rant about pine tar and batting helmets.

Movie #8. And we conclude our program with a bunch of Washington Capitals players describing their least-favorite uniforms. Enjoy.

    I am watching the Solheim Cup (Ladies version of the Ryder Cup) and the members of the USA team all have stick on tattoos of “USA” and the US flag on their cheeks. Personally, I think it looks dumb, but it is kind of cool way to show off national pride.

    P.S. It is freezing in Wales, and all the ladies look like they are in the arctic.

    Does the Stars dark jersey (sweater) really just say “DALLAS”? That is terrible. I really like the Thrashers blue jersey (sweater) It’s a unique color.

    I think it’s safe to say paul had some kind of nervous break down after seeing all those terrible new NHL jerseys leaked by EA last night. Get well soon!

    Adam Kennedy of the Yankees wore some bitchin’ stirrups last night – anybody have a pic? The Yankee announcers all but drooled talking about them too….hope he gets a chance to wear them with the pinstripes on…

    P.P.S The Ladies are actually in Sweden, not Wales. (But it is still cold) And the Europeans have some sweet striped shirts as well. (pics to follow)

    I’m willing to bet that the Dallas jersey is just a matter of the Stars organization giving EA an incomplete description. Remember, the Texans had white helmets when they debuted in Madden.

    And it appears that Paul was referencing the Oilers, who unfortunately used the Florida template.

    And somewhere, someone in Atlanta is weeping at the new Thrashers kit.

    As a substitute teacher, while I am not going to show movies all day long (I would like to get a full-time teaching job, and that won’t cut it), I find the Bill Nye the Science Guy is a great time killer!

    Doesn’t change the fact that they are still horrible.

    But what do we think of this link Clearly an homage to the Colorado Rockies of old.

    Looking at link they now have all the new NHL sweaters. I’m so elieved the Hawks didn’t change anything. The Thrashers dark jersey to me looks sharp. The white one isn’t too bad either if they drop the bib piping.

    Devils stayed the same – good move.

    Coyotes keept it very similar, but added a red sholder to their white jersey. Not bad.

    The Oilers cheated and looked at the Panthers test.

    The Sharks have a sharp looking sweater that is certainly an upgrade.

    Last and certainly least, the craptacular Blues sweaters. I think it’s great simply because I’m a Hawks fan and don’t like the Blues and this is just one more thing to pick on Blues fans about. Mike Keanen probably wouldn’t let the guys take the ice in these things if he were still coaching them.

    The Dallas sweater is as you see it, except there is a number on the chest that isnt on the EA gallery. I think it looks good with the shoulder patches, except the lack of a hem stripe kills it.

    I don’t follow the NHL, but I do occasionally check to see how the Thrashers do during the season (hometown pride, don’t ya know), and I gotta say, I kinda like the new jerseys. The only thing that I don’t care for on them is the dumb one-sleeve-stripe on the home jersey that has “ATLANTA” down the side. It looks stupid having a dark-blue panel down one side of the jersey (and for the record, I’ve never liked they way they throw “ATLANTA” on just one sleeve).

    Also: I see that the drop shadow on “ATLANTA” falls down and to the left.

    Anybody who enjoys college hockey will probably enjoy the Dallas jersey, especialy DIII hockey. It’s a great look that I think we’re just not used to at the NHL level. I think it will grow on people.

    agreed. i think of teams like Boston College when I see the new Dallas jersey

    At least with the Atlanta white jerseys the “bib” piping goes down the sides and not down on the front of the jersey…

    So Paul what do you think of the Thrashers jerseys? The old link one is still my favorite. I like the new “True Blue” jersey just because it was different and the whole idea of they are to represent the “True Blue” fans and I have always like alternate jerseys but now they are just the home jerseys so they have loss some of that appeal to me. But overall I like the changes now that I have seen the real ones.

    The Atlanta Thrashers is a fine case study that the EA sports renditions aren’t totally indicative of what the jersey’s actually look like on a player.

    The white one looks a lot better (less worse?) on the player, and is likely the best looking ‘apron’ design to date.

    Nothing short of napalm will make those silly light blue jerseys look good. Well, actually if they took off the ATLANTA (it’s a home uniform, they know where they are) and put a similar stripe down the right sleeve, they’d have something.

    The original Avs logo is still miles better than that concept.

    a. for these new hockey jerseys, people seem to like the term apron style, however isnt it more akin to spaghetti straps on a womans dress?

    I don’t get it … I sort of like the simplicity of it (though the color scheme doesn’t exactly scream “Texas”), but for identity purposes, wouldn’t it make more sense to have “Stars” on the home jersey than “Dallas”? The concept seems to work for MLB.

    Glad to see that opinion echoed.

    It should come to no one’s surprise (Devils fans, especially) that the team didn’t change the uni. I mean, for how long did we hear that Lou would never go for a 3rd uniform? What makes you think the organization would change any of the unis now?

    So put STARS on there instead of DALLAS. It’s the home jersey for crying out loud!

    Once a Devils home game is finished, the players can leave those jerseys on, head a couple of blocks south and blend in with the wait staff at any Portuguese restaurant on Ferry St. (In case you aren’t reading between the lines: have been ugly, still ugly, will always be ugly.)

    But looking through the gallery, I see that Kevin Weekes has halved his jersey number, going from his traditional 80 down to 40. Anyone know why?

    The Devils have always had clunky, plain jerseys, which seemed ugly, but in staying the same, they now seem attractive compared with the simultaneously half-baked and overdone concepts most teams have trotted out.

    Maybe Lou wouldn’t let “Shady 80” keep his number. Some organizations are kinda strict with the numbers they issue, and Lou runs a tight ship. Offhand I can’t think of any recent Devils with high numbers other than Mogilny.

    Most teams (with a few exceptions) don’t have colors that represent their states. I personally would be very upset if the Stars changed their colors to red whie and blue. Wayyyy to overdone and obvious, in my opinion.

    Actually link on the NHL Logos blog with Marty Turco wearing the new Stars home jersey in an ad for NHL 2k8. There’s no green highlighting and we can see the number in the front, so EA did get it right (although I haven’t played against the Stars yet so I don’t know if the numbers appear right on the chest).

    Also, if anyone else has played with the new AHL jerseys in the game, the Philadelphia Phantoms have a ridiculous purple side swoosh-piping thing that comes up onto the back of the shoulders where the nameplate goes. I only played one game against them where they wore the away whites, and it stood out like a sore thumb and made me want to puke every time I looked at it. Any thoughts Paul? I know how much you love Purple

    How can the Caps rip on other teams’ sweaters? The Black capitol dome jersey was one of the ugliest in the League. Their judgement was clouded by its crappiness.

    I suspect it’s the Stars imitating their arena-mates at the AAC, the Dallas Mavericks. When the Mavericks unveiled their new unis, people were taken aback at the fact that both versions simply said, “Dallas.” The Mavs wanted to cement their association with the city, since the Cowboys and Rangers are both in the suburban areas. Perhaps the Stars are looking for the same connection.

    If that’s the intent, it doesn’t necessarily bother me. But what DOES bother me is that they have included the “Dallas Stars” logo on the away jersey, where the Dallas name is all but hidden. If you want the Dallas connection, put “Dallas” on both jerseys.

    Personally, I still like the current jersey with the star color pattern. Or at least the previous jersey, which had terrific shoulder/arm stripes on the white version. The new one’s way too boring.

    thats wrong. When Cleveland left the league mandated that Baltimore be treated as a new teams adn the colors and history stayed in Cleveland and when a team came back there they would take over that history. Clevelands history just has a few blank years in it. When the Rockeis moved they took the history with them, there was no provision for the history to be left behind for a future team.

    YES! THANK YOU! I’ve been going nuts over that one, same as my problem with the Canucks jerseys. Do they not know what farking city they’re in, or something? If anything, put the “DALLAS” on the road whites.

    This, more than anything, gives me reason to believe that up until very late in the process, the NHL was leaning towards whites at home again, and changed their minds at the last minute.

    On the other jerseys: I never thought I’d say this in my life, but thank heaven for Lou Lamoriello. (Ugh. I feel unclean now. Must go praise Homer for a few hours to wash away the stench of approving of the Devils.) Also, the Sharks jerseys are picture perfect. I didn’t like the idea of the burnt orange, but they have a shoulder stripe, waist stripes, and arm stripes, the logo works, and even the orange just makes the other colors pop more. This is exactly what hockey teams should look like (non-original 6 division).

    They all either came from somewhere else (the Orioles were once the woeful St. Louis Browns; the Ravens were once the wonderful Cleveland Browns) or left Baltimore to go somewhere else (The once-Baltimore Bullets are now the Washington Wizards; the once-Baltimore Colts are now the Indianapolis Colts; and if memory fails me not, the original Baltimore Orioles left for New York to become the “Highlanders”… and later, the Yankees!) Or were you just refering to the fact that both current Baltimore teams began life as the “Browns”?

    Leave it to the hawks to make the announcement late on a Friday so as to avoid the possibility of actually getting publicity. And if any original 6’er could f’ it up, its the hawks drunk ownership.

    Mr. G., I gotta go to the baaaaaathroom. I loved the videos of the Mitchell & Ness guy looking all dorky and talking about Gnarls Barkley. I don’t usually like Adam Corolla, but he was a scream in the uniform video.

    I have a bone to pick with the hockey players, though. While I do not like the Wild!’s logo (we will have to agree to disagree on that, Teebz), I do like their unis. At any rate, they are not the worst in the league by far. I am assuming that video was done before the Buffaslug came out. It would be interesting to see what the players think about next season’s unis.

    P.S. Paul, I hope it’s nothing serious. Get well soon.

    Leave it to the hawks to make the announcement late on a Friday so as to avoid the possibility of actually getting publicity. And if any original 6′er could f’ it up, its the hawks drunk ownership

    The announcement is at Smith and Wollensky’s. So it seems that the Hawks are more interested in making sure the food is good rather than the publicity be more widespread.

    [quote comment=”142393″]Which brings up this sports team/city oddity … what’s the unique link Baltimore’s professional sports teams?

    They both used to be known as the Browns. Baseball’s St. Louis Browns became the Orioles, and football’s Cleveland Browns became the Ravens.[/quote]

    And just for the fun of it, don’t forget that the St. Louis Browns were previously the Milwaukee Brewers.

    [quote comment=”142405″]They all either came from somewhere else (the Orioles were once the woeful St. Louis Browns; the Ravens were once the wonderful Cleveland Browns) or left Baltimore to go somewhere else (The once-Baltimore Bullets are now the Washington Wizards; the once-Baltimore Colts are now the Indianapolis Colts; and if memory fails me not, the original Baltimore Orioles left for New York to become the “Highlanders”… and later, the Yankees!) Or were you just refering to the fact that both current Baltimore teams began life as the “Browns”?[/quote]

    And don’t forget the Baltimore Colts were originally the Dallas Texans in 1952 — one of the worst teams in NFL history. Their only win was against the Bears’ second teamers on Thanksgiving Day. George Halas gave every one of his starters the day off in that game.

    Carroll Rosenbloom — late husband of Rams owner Georgia Frontiere — was the original owner of the Baltimore Colts. What a twisted web…

    great segment last night on Foc Soccer, they interviewed the “kit manager” from Arsenal about his job, the tradition of all wearing long/short sleeved jerseys, daily tasks etc. he also happend to coach the Arsenal women’s team. Great guy, even better job

    (let’s try typing this again and see if it doesn’t dissappear this time …)

    Am I the only one who finds it odd that some new NHL uniform home and away sets have different collars? One may be lace up while the other … well, isn’t. I’ve never seen a pro sports league where it was common for home and away jerseys to “function” different (as opposed to the same cuts of fabric with different colors and logos).

    [quote comment=”142374″]Once a Devils home game is finished, the players can leave those jerseys on, head a couple of blocks south and blend in with the wait staff at any Portuguese restaurant on Ferry St. (In case you aren’t reading between the lines: have been ugly, still ugly, will always be ugly.)

    It’s amazing to see the wave of disgust about Dallas’ new home set quickly wash away into a: “Damn…that’s pretty hot.”, rather quickly, once the light was shone on how they will actually look.

    Unlike the inverse effect that has been received out here in California with the new Sharks jersey. And now that the Sharks have gone with the more traditional look, using the stripes they debuted with in 91-92, their new Sharkachu(Pikachu…it’s a Pokemon joke…moving on.)logo now looks rather ugly.

    Here’s hoping to it growing on me.

    Ok what the hell are those weird ass stripes for on the link?

    Or am I just complaining because I’m a 35-year-old who thinks like a 60-year-old?

    The Blackhawks made one change, and not for the better. They now have the same “Crossed Tomohawk” on both sweaters. It used to have a white head and green handles on the red sweater. It makes no sense for any part of the patch to be the same color as the sweater.

    As for differences in home and road functionality, the Reds in the ’90s wore vests at home and sleeves on the road, and the Tigers of th’70s wore buttons and belts at home and pullovers and elastic on the road.

    Penn State had been using the term “white-out” to refer to the entire stadium wearing white at home games. It seems that that in 1987 the Winnipeg Jets trademarked the phrase “Winnipeg White-Out” after having a one time similar promotion.

    I can believe it. However, I’d be inclined to think that the Coyotes aren’t using the phrase and haven’t used it at least since the move, ergo, it really should be a dead trademark. We’ll see how it goes, of course.

    I think Sanders played college baseball from ’86 to ’88. If I remember correctly, FSU made it to Omaha in ’86, and they wore gold at least once at the CWS. So that Sanders jersey Nike is selling would be based on his actual gold jersey (but I don’t recall if the real jerseys had names on the back).

    I don’t like the new Dallas jersey. I understand that in sports, each team should have their quirks, but this deviates too far from the standard NHL template. It would be like in the NFL if one team decided to display a big logo in the front of the jersey instead of a number. It just seems like they’re trying way to hard to look different, and it’s not like the jersey it’s replacing was cookie-cutter in the first place: the pattern and colors of the green-star jersey was distinct enough to spot at a distance. Why go with a total overhaul?

    K. Numbers are owned and assigned by NASCAR. Teams can request a specific number. No numbers are retired in NASCAR but there are no plans for the #3 (Dale Earnhardt) or the #28 (Davey Allison/Texaco/Robert Yates Racing) to be used.[/quote]

    That one may have to come off the list. According to the ESPN article, there has been a trademark application just filed this week for #28.[/quote]

    You can trademark the design of the number, but not the number itself. The numbers belong to NASCAR and are leased to the owners.

    ESPN was sued for their depiction of the stylized #3 in their 2004 movie of Dale Earnhardt’s life.

    From Wikipedia (so take it for what it is):
    “The script of this film was not approved by Teresa Earnhardt and the Earnhardt family. The film, although capturing the essence of Dale Earnhardt, is inaccurate in many of the events seen in the film. Richard Childress, the former car owner and team owner of Dale Earnhardt sued ESPN for copyright infringement with the film’s use of the “3” logo.”

    If you look at #8 and #3 merchandise, you will see the Restricted symbol on the numbers.

    If you could trademark numbers themselves, don’t you think somebody would have trademarked Richard Petty’s #43 by now?

    If you could trademark numbers themselves, don’t you think somebody would have trademarked Richard Petty’s #43 by now?

    You mean someone like Richard Petty or Petty Enterprises? NASCAR’s official position is that they own the numbers and lease them to the teams every year. If a team used a particular number in the previous year, or has a special connection to a number (3 and 28), they get rights of first refusal at the beginning of the year. Sometimes teams will work deals out to trade or loan numbers to other teams, but it’s not officially sanctioned by NASCAR. For instance, Dale Sr paid another team to get the 8, which was his father’s number, to give to Dale Jr’s car.

    I personally prefer the way the FIA assigns numbers: World Driver’s Champion gets #1, teammate gets #2, and the rest of the teams are based on Constructers Points.

    Zambrano (16-12) matched his career high in wins, giving up one run on Albert Pujols’ 31st homer. Big Z, who wore his socks high for the second straight start, struck out three, gave up four hits and walked two over eight innings.

    you should be embarrassed for being a sux fan.

    About the Kate on Sports segment. It said that he wasn’t sure if he like the segment because what she said was interesting or because she was cute. Sorry to disappoint, but as a recent Cal alum, I know that she is actually a lesbian who is already engaged. Sucks.

    Not to mention I find the irony in a guy who’s complaining about the same things being posted repeatedly, posting the same message over and over again… I can see in a week we’ll have double letter items like…

    AB. The black bars on ACC jerseys are for the Tech shootings.

    Hey genius, did you even read the post at all?

    That is already in there.

    And for all of people that are complaining…I don’t see you doing anything to make it better.

    See, that’s kinda funny… I’m on here all the time and I don’t read the whole damn thing. And, GENIUS, for your information, did you not notice my suggestion for the solution? The FAUQ page or for you, I could go with the FUQ.

    They announced the blue pinstripes as officially the 1997 jerseys, which they started wearing in 1991. That New Era logo was on the side of the cap, and they were fitted. The Giants did not participate in the throwback evening.

    C’mon man…you can’t do any better than that? Sux? Seriously? Weak.

In tonight’s game, Carlos Zambrano appeared to have a design on his bat (his last at-bat of the game) and it looked like a butterfly. Anybody else notice?[/quote]

    I’m guessing he was using a Sam Bat baseball bat, as seen link.

    Aren’t those the maple bats. I think Bonds brought them into vogue during his 2001 year, in which he hit 73* homers.

    I almost hesitated putting that asterisk there, since it is being proven that pretty much everybody cheats in sports these days.
