Why, Coppin State? Why?

By
coppin1

In case you were wondering, Coppin State’s initials are CSU. I saw it somewhere. Here too. And in case you were also counting eagles on those Coppin State threads, the number is four. One on the collar, one on the waistband and one on each side of the shorts. — Bryan

    Those unis remind me of one of those lanyard things you hang an ID badge on. You know, one of link.

    Is that other team in the picture UNC Wilmington? Those unis look pretty nice. Kind of a Mariners color scheme.

    In the 2nd paragraph of Pat Forde’s link, he gets the color of Missouri’s pants completely wrong. How do you miss something like that?

    While browsing histories of NFL teams, I came accross this peculiar picture of Andre Waters of the Eagles.

    Anyone have any idea what the black stripe on the helmet is for?

    It was a memorial gesture for a coach — I forget which one — who had died.

    It was for the death of someone in the organization. Can’t remember if it was for Jerome Brown, but it was around that time.

    Those Eagles jerseys were awesome. If those were brought back they would be the best NFL unis, in my opinion. I’m a Redskin fan, and I still think the Eagles unis from that time are beautiful.

    Thanks guys, I was totally lost. I was almost resigned to the fact that it was a picture edit, and not really on there. :)

    has it really been a year since ‘dirty waters’ took his own life? man…as i giant fan, i HATED to see #20 prowlin the secondary twice (sometimes thrice) a year

    in case anyone is interested, link on waters’ passing…

    nice uni

    What makes it worse is that Forde is a Mizzou alum! Quoting from St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bernie Miklasz’ “Extra Points” blog prior to the game:

    Cool scene in the pressbox at Arrowhead: the MU journalism alums here covering the game posed for a “team” photo. The smiling happy faces were: Graham Watson (Post-Dispatch), Vahe Gregorian (Post-Dispatch), Mike DeArmond (KC Star), Gabe DeArmond (PowerMizzou.com) Pat Forde (ESPN.com), Dave Matter (Columbia Tribune), Steve Wieberg (USA Today).

    As a Mizzou J-School alum myself, I’d have to give Pat a major “mark-down” for that gaffe… As a Uni Watch member, I’m hoping the Tigers continue to wear the gold pants!

    It was for Burt Convy. Huge fan.

    Last night’s Dayton Bombers-Cincinnati Cyclones game in the ECHL was Nashville Predators night, with the Cyclones in predators jerseys. I was staring at them for a while, thinking about how trashy they looked, when it finally dawned on me that they were wearing Predators practice jerseys, with numbers and names sewn on the back. I’ll see if I can get a picture.

    Yesterday on Deadspin, there was a subtle shout out to Paul and the site…see first sentence

    link

    UCF’s Kevin Smith for Heisman: 2,164 yards (1st in nation, 4th all time) Darren Mcfadden who?

    I could only find one relevant image, but Oakland (MI) played Michigan State last night,and they have incorporated their link into the new Nike System Of Dress, and the result is link. On the black roadies the number is very high up, in gold, with white NOB. The front is link and all gold. It resembles Colorado’s football fonts, but the SOD makes it look completely ridiculous.

    Now that’s a memorial. No dime a dozen sleeve patch for the Iggles. Electrical tape across the helmet makes a statement. Are there any other examples of memorial emblems with unusual placements, or made out of interesting materials?

    You mean waddling, right?

    He makes Charlie Weis look slim.

    And just to clarify, I am not associated with the stuff that is for sale on that antique photo site in post #27. I just thought they were interesting.

    Just in case you weren’t sure the eagles on CSU’s shorts were actually eagles, the word “eagles” is below it. Speaking of eagles, it looks like UNC Wilmington’s mascot is Sam the Eagle from the muppet show. That’s all I know about eagles.

    [quote comment=”176698″]Some of you early 19th century uni enthusiasts might like some of the stuff shown on these old link.[/quote]

    Duh, that should be “early 20th” century.

    In an entertaining couple of minutes in yesterday’s Drexel-Loyola men’s hoops game, Drexel’s #42 Kenny Tribbett played about two minutes in the first half with his jersey on backwards. Drexel has names on the back of their unis, which makes it all the more amazing how anybody could put it on backwards.

    For anybody in the mid-Atlantic region, the game is on Comcast On Demand under Local – CN8 Sports. It took place around the 12 minute mark.

    I was hoping to see the KU football team sporting their red socks last night in their game against Mizzou. I was very disappointed to see them in regular white socks. I had thought this was something they did every year in their game against MU.

    Was their something special about the game being in KC at Arrowhead?

    Colorado’s official colors are silver and gold. (Black is just an accent.) Silver had been largely absent for many years. That’s one way of bringing some back. Silver is also used to outline numbers.

    Mangino’s gravitational field didn’t slant the game for the Jayhawks last night. KU should have had the other sideline.

    I’m not gonna make fun of a guy’s weight- but that sure is a big varsity jacket. Think how many baby varsity’s had to die to stitch that coat together.

    Is it wrong (maybe TOO basic) to have a no-striped all-white helmet as a favorite? I love the Arizona Cardinals and Texas Longhorns helmets…I think the format is my favorite.

    Agreed. The Cardinals helmet has always been one of my favorites, going back to St. Louis. It’s too bad the rest of their uniform is so ridiculous.

    Thos Coppin unis remind me of the old school Vancouver Grizzlies jerseys

    Man, I would LOVE to see those as a Memphis Grizzlies throwback. Talk about a 1990’s uniform time capsule. There it is. Lavish cartoons, crazy fonts, and teal. Triple check.

    The wonderfully expressive and creative days of the NBA (circa 1995) when there was no “System of Dress” nor “EDG” fabricated bullshit, to simply help sell more ugly jerseys to the poor fans…

    Vancouver Grizzlies//An Exotic Taste of Styles.

    1.) Jacquard trim Vancouver Grizzlies /neck trim.

    Pattern developed by Native BC Indian to reflect the Grizzly Bear in Haida culture. I am NOT making this stuff up.

    2.) Sublimated Teal Unis by Champion.

    Full dye sublimation process by a manufactured by
    Holt Manufacturing. Light and bright baby.

    link

    Check out the Hawks 1997 jersey. Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!

    3.) Tackle twill magic.

    Look at the claw marks in the Grizzlies font. Now that’s some serious tackle twill craftsmanship…

    Hey, at least if you’re going to be hosed into buying a $250 dollar piece of fabric, it should look like $250 dollars of effort went into it right?

    The Vancouver Grizzlies franchise was an after thought in the NBA expansion season of 1995. The League granted a franchise to John Bitove and the Toronto Raptors and that was going to be it.

    At the last minutr, businessman Arthur Griffiths, in Canada, made an offer to Stern and the NBA that they could not refuse. The Grizzlies were going to be the Mounties but there was shoe company in Canada who had the rights to the name Mounties in like 20 apparel and merchandise categories.

    So Grizzlies it was…

    Ah, NBA Uni History, Where Shit Happens.

    The sublime vs. the ridiculous: UCLA vs. Oregon

    If your calling the UCLA unis sublime, then I’m a huge fan of sublime…UCLA’s football and hopps unis are friggin’ sweet.

    I’ve never been a fan of the white helmet shell, nor of the gray facemask. If the gray (or silver) represents a team color, OK. I know it’s traditional, but I’m partial to the white mask. (cases in point, Browns pre-2005, Boise State, KC Chiefs)

    Browns throwbacks comment: The regular unis are throwbacks in a sense. Kinda neutral on the 11/25 unis.

    I’m suprised no one has mentioned the fact that Oregon wore their white helmets yesterday…or maybe I missed it. Regardless, that means three helmets in one season. Has that ever been done before?

    With a special thanks to Reebok. Eww. The Cardinals, from the neck down is hideous. I do like their helmets. Especially when Scott Player was wearing it. It looked really “old school”, or as I want to say now, “throwbacktastic”.

    Traditionally, kU wears red socks as a throwback to when the “jayhawkers” of Civil War-era Kansas invaded Missouri. They wore red socks during the fighting. It’s possible with all the negative pregame hype over Civil War T-Shirts, Kansas decided to forego the socks.

    This looked way better than this .

    I think they’ve only worn two this year. The green and the white. In the past 12 games however (if you include last year’s Vegas Bowl) they have gone with the green, the white, and that weird pear-colored thing

    I’m just going to say it. I don’t like powder blue jerseys. There, I feel much better. In the case of the UCLA unis vs. the Ducks, to me, it’s the case of the ehs vs. the ridiculous. I hate pastels.

    As for the DeadSpin article–I stoutly stand behind the Christmas Wild! unis. I heart them! I don’t like their logo, and I don’t like Christmas, but for some strange reason, I really dig the red-and-green Wild! unis. I am glad they kept them.

    last night in the UK-UT game. number 18 for UK had his jersey ripped, i noticed it in one of the overtimes. anyone have a pic?

    Don’t have screencaps, but Adrian Peterson of the Bears just lost half of his bottom “C” decal on a touchdown run that turned into a rugby scrum.

    Marshall for the Broncos is Reebok-less again vs. the Bears. Could it be, in part, due to the swoosh on his shoes???
    link
    pic is a few clicks down the flash player.

    By the way, how come Missouri’s pant/shirt color (the goldish yellow) is different than the helmet?

    while being made ill by the giant debacle today, fox showed clips of the link giant-vikes debacle…i didn’t think it possible to like the link vikes unis better than their classics…but…i did

    i think they’re attempting to replicate the viking horn in the shoulder element…interesting…of course…they’re probably not

    Minna. Viva la Difference. Completely disagree.

    Light blue beauties.

    Nuggets // Bright is Beautiful.
    Chargers (Non Reebok) retro /// Stunningly Sharp.
    KC Royals roads // Fantastic and back in 2008.
    Early 70’s Penguins // Sweet powder blue.
    NC Tarheels // Come on. None better.

    Sorry Minna you missed this one wide(b)right.

    Anything pales in comparison to the original North Stars jersey. Lou Nanne, Dino Ciccarelli… ah what a great look. And that N Star logo. Perfect.

    Minnesota Wild? Another lame name, color palette and logo courtesy of Sham Micheal Edwards. (SME).

    More people see the game uniforms for football teams than they do the “shooting shirts” for any NBA team. Since Nike supplies the gear for a lot of the high profile football schools, they have become the focus of most of the “traditionalists” ire. It’s not a double standard, it’s exposure.

    Uni-Prediction here: When Georgia Tech’s contract with Russle they will switch to Under Armour. All of the chearleaders had UA jackets on during the UGA-GT game. and a bunch of the players had on UA under their jerseys and pants.
