Stanford and San Jose State are both wearing “BW” memorial decals in honor of Bill Walsh this year. Coincidentally, they played each other yesterday, marking perhaps the first time that two teams played each other wearing the same memorial decal in a non-league-wide memorial situation.
(The San Jose State “BW” decal is kind of hard to see in this pic, so I circled it in yellow. It’s right to the left of the number on the back of the helmet. If you find a better view, you know what to do.) —Vince

I was watching the FSU game last night and I noticed that they’re still wearing a traditional mesh style jersey with screened on name and numbers unlike every other “Nike” school that has switched to the new stretch fit microfiber with sewn on name and numbers like Michigan, Oklahoma, LSU, and Florida. Are there any other “Nike” schools still sporting this look?

Are the Steelers uniform they have on today a throwback or an alternate? I could see going to the yellow helmets if they were playing another team with black helmets, but those things look like they got a shipment meant for Grenn Bay and decided to make do. It looks jarring to me.

75th Anniversary throwback, inspired by the uni scheme between 1947-1962. They’re wearing them today and again on November 5th on MNF against the Ravens.
The Steelers’ uniforms are 1960s throwbacks. And has anyone seen a Steeler wearing the new Captain’s “C” patch?
Hey guy, that short sock look with white shoes makes a team look mighty fast. I hate when FSU wears LONG socks. You don’t wear long socks in Florida, its to hot. Side note, I think FSU has made their spear emblem bigger this year.
1) woulda been cool if all the Walsh teams (incl the BENGALS, he had big input there) woulda worn the same BW sticker.

Watching the Niners game- the Rams have a guy (Steven Jackson) who has hair hanging way outta his helmet and down his back, much like the Steelers guy.
Shouldn’t there be a rule against that- not for aesthetics, but for safety? If a player (accidentally) grabs a bunch of that, or it gets caught on a helmet or what have you- wouldn’t that be a safety hazard- snapping the neck back, besides being REALLY painful?

ugly Norfolk State uniforms against Rutgers and why are they both wearing solid colors?
I don’t know about Football, but in soccer, as long as the colors contrast enough, the officials don’t make a big deal about it. The liklihood of a quarterback confusing red and yellow jerseys is pretty small, so I doubt too many people cared. When I was a goalkeeper, I had been asked to change shirts before, so officials do keep an eye on that.

I’m sure they do, but one thing to keep in mind is that CCM is owned by Rbk, and I believe that Koho is as well, making your comment still interesting, but from a corporate competitiveness view, a non issue.
and, chances are that those kids are wearing jerseys that their parents bought them 2 or 3 years ago, when Koho and CCM were still jersey suppliers.

For those who said the I-35W patch on the University of Minnesota Gophers jerseys was a symbol of ‘Gopher Nation’ and made some poor comments about it take a look.
“Uni Watch mentioned Minnesota’s new helmet logo but didn’t realize the Gophers had also added an I-35W sleeve patch (in memory of those killed in last month’s bridge collapse) and switched from black shoes to white.”

“Worth noting: Minnesota players will wear a 35W patch on their uniforms to honor victims of the I-35W bridge collapse. The team also wears the initials “FK” in tribute to former compliance director Frank Kara, who died of cancer last month.”

We weren’t discussing the patch, but thanks for pointing it out for me, I had missed that. We were talking about the Gopher Nation decals on the backs of the helmets, which I incorrectly said was for I-35W.

The Steelers will not be wearing the “C” patch. On all home/away jerseys they have the 75th Anniversary Patch on the right side, and the smaller Steeler logo on the left side of the jersey. The Throwback jersey only has the 75th patch. No need for a classy franchise like the Steelers to go to that patch. This isn’t European hockey….It’s FOOTBALL!
Two things from NY this Sunday…
Tom Coughlin is wearing FDNY cap.
Jets kicker Nugent is wearing captain’s “c”
Under your logic, any kind of tackling (jersey grabbing, shoestring) would be illegal, since those are all part of the uniform. Face masks are required, dread locks are optional.

I don’t know about Football, but in soccer, as long as the colors contrast enough, the officials don’t make a big deal about it.[/quote]The major exception in soccer is at FIFA-sanctioned tournaments, where the competition committee has one team wear dark and the other light (usually white) regardless of normal team colors. It’s for the benefit of counties without access to color TV (not much of an issue now) and production booths that use b/w monitors (still an issue, I think). Shorts and sock colors have to be contrasting too.
An exception was made for the 2002 World Cup final – normally, either Germany or Brazil would have to have worn their “away” colors, but Germany wore its normal white shirts/black shorts/white socks, while Brazil wore their usual yellow shirts/blue shorts combo, but with blue socks instead of the usual white.
As for Norfolk State, I figure their gold is their “light” uniform, much the same way many college hoops teams wear gold at home or away.

I don’t think a lot of fans will need help determining which Brady is Tom Brady.
OK, Merriman’s flag isn’t centered, but it looks like the Chargers all have their flags high, over the helmet numbers, to get out of the way of the bolts.
Not so much as a means of identifying Tom, but in the more cynical sense, squeezing a few more bucks from Pat’s fans. Also his top buckles on his chinstrap are still ridiculously high up.

San Diego wore the whites, hoping for hotter weather (and make Chicago wear the navy blues). Under Lovie Smith, Chicago has worn white at home because he wanted to take advantage of the normally warmer weather; in Chicago, even 80 degrees with about 45-50% humidity is pretty uncomfortable.

Also, I seem to remember Ricky Williams wearing his whole name on the back with the Saints. Am I mistaken?

I got 19:
#28 (7): visor, jersey, ball, both hands, left leg, left shoe
#31 (5): jersey (shoulder), jersey (tag), pants, glove, right shoe
#20 (7): jersey, pants, both gloves, both wristbands, tongue of right shoe
You could also list the band on #20’s right leg, and the ones on #31’s left shoe and right glove, but they’re really hard to make out (even though we all know what they are) – and there’s also the word “Nike” on #28’s visor.
Actually, I’ve noticed something a little odd in the picture. #31 from Fresno State has some sort of patch or marking above the WAC on his right shoulder. #20 does not have this. Any ideas?

The best uni of the day is link in link, even though I hate the uni. He was the only reason to watch last week’s Sunday Night Football game or tonight’s.
By the way, does anybody know if Eddie Guns is doing all the SNF games this year?
P.S. I am allowed to post pics of Ed since I need my eye candy, too.
P.P.S. I did not like the ugly brown throwbacks of the Steelers, and Cowher didn’t, either. He added that coaches had absolutely no say in the matter. Too bad. It would be interesting to see which unis different cooaches would pick.
The one on 28’s visor makes 9, but the rest are too blurry to me, only identifiable because we know they’re supposed to be there, so I don’t count them.
It appears to be a link, possibly a coin being flipped. Must be their goofy way of signifying captains.
Minna loves the Hoch. They should just play all the games on neutral sites and let Eddie Guns and Bernie Kukar do every game. I don’t care if Bernie retired.
Hell, bring back Red Cashion too.
Everytime I see Eddie Benchpress doing a game, I hear the voice of Mitch Holthus saying “Ed Hercules”.
“Hochulis, Hochulis”, like “Hercules, Hercules”. I ADORE Mr. Pythons. I agree with TD that he should ref every game. Can you believe he didn’t coach a single game in the post-season last year? Travesty! Not only is he the best-looking ref in the NFL, he is the best ref, period.
Stevo, who is Mitch Holthus?
I have to admit it’s a little odd to be lusting over a man who is a grandfather, but then I just figure, I can be his younger woman.
Ok, not at all uni-related, but more a plea to the uni-watch world; does anyone have access to tickets to the NY Rangers, NJ Devils, Phila Flyers, or Pittsburgh Penguins who would be willing to sell me one game? I reeeeeally want to go see the Stars play one of these teams in Nov., but according to the team websites, I can only get them if I spend a gazillion dollars for lower level tickets cuz the cheap tickets are sold out…I had no idea the NHL had gotten so damn popular. Anyway, let me know!

Giancarlo, damn. That’s what I get for not looking at pics of the game and only relying on the replays on TV. Even though I have HD, they looked dark brown. Still, as I view the link, they don’t seem as black as the usual Steelers unis. I know, it’s not possible to have a lighter shade of black, but there you go.
I think I should clarify that the black of the throwbacks appear more dull than the usual black, which is possibly why they look brown on TV.
I am just trying to cover my ass here. I still like the current unis better. The black looks richer.
To show how ignorant some fans are- to quote a poster on the Stars’ myspace page about the new jerseys “the home jersey is barely different, and all the teams changed a little so the stars had to lose the star at the bottom.” I’m almost tempted to join myspace just to correct him…almost.

Looking at the Stars’ myspace page for the first time (sorry, I refuse to get a page), I really like the green stars on the gold background that’s the border on the page. That would’ve looked soo much better incorporated on to the jersey than the garbage they ended up with.

I was watching Manchester City vs Aston Villa this morning and noticed that the back of Luke Moore’s jersey read “Moore L.”: link
Does anyone know why he doesn’t wear “L. Moore” or simply “Moore” since there’s no other Moore on the Aston Villa squad?[/quote]
thats aston villa and chelsea, get ur teams rite, especially when its the european yankees[/quote]
The pic may have been Chelsea, but today’s game was against Man. City. Tom used an old image to illustrate.[/quote]Yeah, I figured a two-week old photo was better than no illustration at all, though I suppose that was too hard to understand for some people.
I should note that it’s actually, “MOORE.L”, which makes it even curioser. And he wore “MOORE.L” last year as well, so it’s not a one time thing: link
[/quote]The Premier League allows players to wear either proper name on their shirt, meaning first name or surname. Apparently initials are allowed under a number of circumstances as well, and not only when a teammate has the same surname. Park Ji-Sung (or Ji-Sung Park, depending on how you want to write it), wears J. S. Park for Manchester United, despite being the only Park in the squad: link
Darren Bent wears “D. Bent” for Tottenham Hotspur, though he’s the only Bent at the club. At his prior club, Charlton, there was a Marcus Bent, and each guy wore his first initial as well: link Presumably Darren got attached to his “D.” and decided to keep it when he transferred to Spurs.
I can only imagine that Luke Moore was similarly superstitious or otherwise change-resistant. Luke came up through the Aston Villa youth setup (and eventually first-team squad) with his brother Stefan, who wore “Moore. S” until he left the club in 2005. Maybe Luke wears his first initial in recognition of his brother. Maybe he’s just attached to it. None of this answers the question of why the surname is first, something that I’ve always thought was odd.
In another, unrelated note, Texas A&M tight end Martellus Bennett scrapped his usual number 13 on Saturday in favor of number 85. He’s wearing the new number in recognition of injured Bills TE Kevin Everett, who he met on a recruiting trip to Miami. Apparently Bennett will wear #85 for the rest of the season. Details link.
Not that you didn’t believe me, but link‘s a picture of Bennett wearing 85 on Saturday. link‘s him wearing 13 in the previous game against Montana State.
And in one more note related to both the discussion of initials and the Bennett note: you can see in the second picture that Martellus wears “MA. BENNETT.” His brother, Michael, and A&M defensive end, wears “MI. BENNETT.” Also, the picture of Martellus wearing #13 is from the Louisiana-Lafayette game last year, not Montana State this year as I wrote before. Even if you couldn’t see the opposing team, there are some subtle Aggie uniform differences between ’06 and this year, notably stripes on the pants.

I saw the highlights on CBS earlier and the blacks looked great. Just saw them again on NFL Network and the contrast was off and they looked horrid. Rich Eisen referred to them as ‘Tecmo-Bowl uniforms’.
The photos look solid, but it was a bright day in the burgh, and the yellow took over a few TV sets here and there, methinks.

TD, so what you’re saying is that on HD, it actually looks worse. That makes sense. I also agree that the brightness of the yellow outshone the black.
What are you doing up, my friend? Me, I can’t sleep after waking up early.
Back in 1983, Dan Reeves tried that mentality here in Denver, and caused quite an uproar with the Broncos NOT wearing orange at home. Hated it then, although there are some teams that can pull it off (wearing white at home). San Diego needs to either bring back and keep the powder blue jerseys and/or bring back the yellow pants like they had in the 70s-80s
[quote comment=”143287″][quote comment=”143211″]This white at home has got to stop in the NFL, i understand for teams in Florida or hot weather. But San Diego last week, and now Chicago this week. Im a bears fan and they’ve done this once each of the past 2 years, but both times it was against Detroit for some reason. Now they are doing it against KC. I dont mind the white bears jersey, but its annoying and the home navy blue jerseys look 10x better[/quote]
San Diego wore the whites, hoping for hotter weather (and make Chicago wear the navy blues). Under Lovie Smith, Chicago has worn white at home because he wanted to take advantage of the normally warmer weather; in Chicago, even 80 degrees with about 45-50% humidity is pretty uncomfortable. Expect to see the navy blues at home next Sunday night against Dallas (they’re also very hard to pick out at night).[/quote]

Problem with NFL throwbacks: uniform fit. The old style colors/design usually don’t look right with the ultra tight fit of today’s uni’s. Especially with the Incredible Shrinking Sleeves.
