After I got over the initial shock of looking at Zalgiris Kaunas’ uniforms (that’s the team name, not the player, for those who were curious), the first thing I thought of was this, immediately followed by this (just for the color, not for the exact sign). And then I started looking at the strange scaly design running down the sides of the jersey and shorts. Very fish-like, don’t you think?
I’m sure the design is supposed to be really cool and meaningful, but that’s all lost on me. At the moment, I’m pretty sure this basketball team is best represented by green neon signs in the shape of drunken fish. That’s probably not what they were going for, that’s just what the uni’s are telling me. And I’m hungry for Malaysian cuisine. Strange. —Vince
It gives me a Casino like feeling for some reason. Probably the green felt of the tables, but the side panel pattern as well. Weird.
Continuing on the white out discussion from yesterday..
Penn State sells white out tshirts (obviously made my nike) at the student bookstore. Last year it said white out 2006, this year it doesnt have the phrase “white out” on it at all. I think Penn State is actually calling it the white house now, although everyone else still calls it a white out. There’s going to be another white out for the Ohio State game, and there’s a bunch of students that want to bring blue glow sticks to the game to try to be more of a distraction.
And I would have thought that the Green Unis would have reminded you of link
Isn’t Zalgirls like Wizards backwards or something?
Reminds of the old link from the J-League.
For a good part of their existence, they were sponsored by Japan Airlines, and the uniforms had a globe-themed design, as well as an unexplained fallen leaf motif. Alas, the club got a new primary sponsor and now goes with a link.
Oh, and Vince, if you’re ever in NYC and you haven’t gotten over the Malysian craving, you can’t go wrong with link.
Aren’t the Zalgirls opening for Hannah Montana this fall?
Sorry, all I can see in that picture is Donell Taylor’s socks and the sweetness of the new gold trim replacing the copperish trim on the Wizards jersey.
I was at the game and I can tell you that they were very shimmery, leading most of the hecklers to wonder why they had sequins on their uniforms.
The Wizards need new unis, for real. The stripe down one side of the shorts, rather than both, reminds me of that fad from the mid 90s. Of all the NBA teams they (along with Minn.) should be next to get new unis. At least the Hawks have gotten rid of those hideous threads from last year.
Paul ( or anyone else out there )-
Do you know of any places besides ebay that still sell that old school Islanders jersey with the fisherman logo on it? My buddy and I have been looking for one for years.
Lithuanian uniforms have always leaned toward the garish. Those are actually quite tasteful in comparison to the tie-dyes in the ’92 Olympics.

Didn’t looking for a photo on this but the Army- Georgia Tech game is an eyesore. Ga Tech has gold jersey- white pants and Army is wearing white jersey-gold pants. It’s so hard to follow clearly.

yea i was wondering that too, it might make a difference if everyone had a glowstick but i dont think its gonna work
I’m not a fan of any of those teams, but very nice work on those alt mock-ups, Nate, especially MIA, much easier on the eyes. It’s too bad that they never ask what the fans think, or even consider good taste for that matter.
I enjoy the Scales on the side panels, it is clever, but not too tacky.

If your thanking me for the phtotshop unis, I didn’t do them. Pretty Boy Paulie did.
Just announced on WVU’s radio pre-game show….WVU will be breaking out the link jersey’s for the first time since 1964 today. Presumably with their blue pants (kinda Cal like, no?)…
Having only seen the replica’s of these jersey’s for sale around here I will say I am NOT a fan. Just another excuse for Nike to milk money out of diehard fans who’ll buy ANYTHING with a flying WV on it.
And they look horrible too!
/will retract this statement if the actual onfield jersey’s look good. but, I don’t think that’s going to happen.
i was looking around on the internet and I found an awesome uniform designing machine.

I was watching the Wisconsin/Northern Illinois game and during a commercial on the Big Ten Network they showed a shot of a Michigan basketball game and some of the students had a yellow shirt with the words “Maize Out” on them. I just thought this would be good follow up from yesterday’s comments. It kind of seems that every team does some sort of “color out” every once in a while.
Even better than the green jerseys and the gold pants . . . Notre Dame is wearing some sweet sock stripes with its throwbacks.
as I mentioned earlier, WVU is breaking out the gold jerseys for the first time since the 60’s today and that they’d probably pair them with the blue pants.
I was right.
They don’t look bad per se….it just looks way to much like Cal for my taste.

The Buckeyes are currently wearing three different memorial number decals on their helmets.
#23 for Springs
#24 for Tyson Gentry, a walk-on punter who’s recovering from a spinal cord injury
#32 for I don’t remember who.
Three’s not very many, but can anybody think of an instance when a team’s worn more?
The announcers in the USC-Notre Dame game just said that although Joe McKnight wears #4 normally, he wears #40 when he’s on punt coverage (presumably because there is another #4 on the punt coverage team). Does anybody know how he switches numbers? His jersey looks pretty tight to his pads, so I would imagine it would be sort of a pain to take it off and put another one on.
I have a mental image of the trainers just velcro-ing an “0” to his jersey, but I don’t think that’s how they do it…
Wow I hadn’t realized that Notre Dame was the 1994 Oregon Ducks
D’oh… make that “velcroing a ‘0’”… I had originally written “an extra ‘0’” but deleted the extra when I realized he didn’t have any zeroes on his jersey to start with.
The Pitt Panthers wore their link today in their upset over cincy for the first time in a few years.
Killer socks on ND, but wow there are far too many pairs of yellow pants on that field.
Ugly jerseys for ND today. Should have stuck with their usual green jerseys.
The USC-Notre Dame game has become unwatchable (not just because of the ND offense). Both teams pants are way too yellow. I like the throwbacks being worn by ND, but I’d rather watch it in black and white so i dont go blind.

The Wizars asymmetric uniform is officially the most underrated jersey in the NBA. Clean, classy with some flavor for the team nickname. It’s perfect.
Watching the Kansas-Colorado game; couldn’t help but notice that KU’s trajan font hasn’t made its way onto either the front or rear bumpers of the helmets or the players’ rear nameplates.

Here is the link some are cool but now they need matching jerseys!
Classic USFL matchup on ESPN Classic right now, from 1983: Chicago Blitz vs. Arizona Wranglers. These are the two teams that switched places the next year (i.e., one became the other and vice-versa); Arizona got the better of that deal, both performance-wise and uni-wise; their link were one of the league’s best. Only the outstanding copper-shelled helmet and branding-iron logo carried over from link
The link uniforms look rather like the link of that time, with silver helmets and pants instead of white; their unis were also somewhat better in link
Some noticeable details on the broadcast:
– The jerseys have sleeves! In fact, they go all the way down to the elbow.
– Very large shoulder pads, even on skill-position players.
– The numerals on the jerseys seem taller proportionately than the ones we see today.
– Facemask bars are much thicker, on both on the Schutt and Riddell models, than what we see today. The familiar Schutt design was still a year or two away. (I played high school football from 1984-87; we had a good many of the “thicker” Schutt cages in ’84, but I don’t think we had any of the “thinner” versions until ’86.)
– Not visible in any of the linked photos, the Wranglers have the Arizona state flag on the backs of their helmets.
– Both teams have very cool striped socks; Mr. Lukas would approve.
Put on ESPN Classic and check it out.
It seems that USC’s Mark Sanchez’s mouthguard is in the colors of the Mexican flag, it even has the coat of arms in middle.
Looks like Oregon is trotting out the All White look…including helmets.
Man, Oregon would actually look pretty good if they had just gone with the black pants a la Holiday Bowl 2005 and skipped the long white socks. Instead, we’ve got a whiteout in Seattle
Good grief – are the Ducks wearing pajamas? Horrific…

I say keep the outline on the shoulder “bolt”. It doesn’t look bad (in my opinion). The Pants and the Navy socks are the only thing bothering me from the Chargers unis.
Regarding NCAA teams wearing white at home: LSU is now the only team that does it. Georgia Tech did it for a while when the NCAA started allowing teams to do it (again), but they’ve since gone to yellow jerseys at home. Interestingly, Tech played LSU in what was then known as the Peach Bowl a few years back. Tech was still wearing white at home, and they were the home team for that game, so LSU had to wear purple. LSU won that game. That may have been the last time GT wore white as the home team.
