At some point when I was a kid, probably when this commercial was on the air, I was pretty sure “ring around the collar” was a disease. If it wasn’t deadly, if it didn’t make suitcases pop open from the sheer offensiveness of the affliction, why was it such a big deal? I still don’t know. Maybe that’s why I wear T-shirts every day.
A different collar situation entirely exists in Columbus, Ohio. You know how football jerseys have stretchy material around the collar for things like, say, putting your head in? Ohio State’s don’t have that. It’s the same mesh as the rest of the jersey body, which is definitely not the norm. In fact, most of Nike’s higher-profile schools have similar collars — LSU (uses the shoulder material instead of mesh), Florida (same as LSU) and Illinois (mesh like Ohio State) included.
The style of the jersey (piping, bib thinger, or traditional look) doesn’t seem to matter, since it looks like most are cut similarly. The collar change corresponded with the latest jersey template, unveiled before the 2006 season. Prior to that — and to Ohio State changing the sleeve stripes — Nike collars had the stretchy stuff.
This collar template, however, hasn’t changed recently. — Bryan
If you look closely the collar changes about halfway up the side – I think to a rib knit round the back and sides.
Ha! Illinois is for sure not a higher profile school like the mighty Gators and LSU.
Illinois is in the big ten, has a huge Chicago following and has been to a Basketball nat’l championship and Rose Bowl in the last 5 years…

got an answer possibly from my question on the west virginia memorial last night- link the thing is it’s the 1970 WVU helmet design not the 1971 so I’m not sure if it’s true or not.
Shouldn’t it have said “2008” on the fields of Pitts and Seattle yesterday?

I think it may also be a heat tactic by Gruden. The G-Men have been dealing with cold winter temps for a while now in New Jersey, but its gonna be 80+ today in Tampa (It’s actually probably cooler in the bay…too bad its just a body of water with no stadium).
This is a great matchup of teams that have false city names. The New Jersey Giants vs the Tampa Bucs.
NFL Live has an interesting image for the Chargers-Titans game, the picture on the screen behind Boomer has LT wearing Navy jerseys over Navy pants in the new uniform – sorry, no screen grab.
I’m always in favor of attempting uni mind tricks. Always. Maybe this will work against the Jints.

I wish the Bucs would just decide on a home jersey already. There is so much technology in NFL unis (cooling equipment, shirts for different temperatures, etc.) what color jersey you have on shouldn’t make that much difference. Players are adults, they should be able to deal with being a little warm while exercising.

Perhaps as adults they like to choose what color they wear, instead of following arbitrary rules. For example, I don’t only wear white in my home city and colors when I’m traveling. Wearing different colors at home adds variety to the game.
With the Jags narrowly avoiding a Hillary-like collapse last night, I suppose we’ll see those black pants again next week, right?

I don’t know if they should declare their white jersey as the home jersey…because then it is just confusing. Check out the miami dolphins pro shop. They list the white jersey as the home and the green as the away…but they almost NEVER wear the green on the road, actually they almost never wear the teal period. Should the bucs and dolphins declare the white jerseys as their primary and the colors as their alternate?
Well, how can you beat the Pirates of Pewter Pants?
Regarding the “mesh” in the collar for OSU and the other Nike schools that may do that. It’s still stretchy material. That’s as much as anyone else hates Nike they’re still above what the other companies are doing.
I have a number of jerseys that I have obtained both Adidas and Nike and when Adidas (my 2005 UCLA Jersey,2004 ASU) was using tackle twil numbers and heavy regular mesh on it’s jerseys, Nike has the stretchy mesh and stretchy numbers and are much lighter and much more form fitting.

Got around to reading the Page 2 memorial patches article today. Now I understand hockey isn’t a sport here in America but I was curious as to why so many NHL memorials were left out. I went searching for Dan Snyder’s link worn by the Thrashers (and featured along their boards) after he was killed by teammate Dany Heatley and noticed a number of memorials went unmentioned. The CHS patch worn by the Avs, 9-11 patches worn by the Rangers and Capitals, the Steve Chiasson patch worn by Carolina, the SHK III patch worn in honor of Sabres’ founding owner, the Kings’ JKC crown, a ‘Cherished Memories’ patch to signify the death of the Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver’s ‘2 Points’ and BABE patches, the Blues’ Dan Kelly shamrock, Minnesota’s JM precursor to NJ’s JM, and more can be seen at NHLPatches.info or DropthePucks. And that doesn’t even mention that the NHL’s All-Star Game (and first uniforms) came about as benefit games for deceased players.
Watching Bucs-Giants…I notice a shot of the Bucs huddle where #80 (Mark Clayton?) had something odd on his arms. They were too small for elbow pads – it was what looked like a string with and NFL Equipment patch behind each elbow. Very bizarre and looked like it would serve no purpose. No screen grab avail – but take a look next time the offense is on the field.
Miami wears their aqua jerseys at home for night games on the road for games against the Cowboys, Redskins, Bucs (sometimes), and Texans (sometimes). Bring back the Marino 1980’s style Dolphins jerseys. Maybe Parcells will – he is old School!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. I have a picture but I don’t know ho to post it (took it on my phone and e-mailed it).
And thanks to Kerry P – my bad on the name of the guy – Michael Clayton is correct.
To those of you watching the Bucs-Giants game (especially Bucs fans): how long has Galloway been wearing the old-school chinstrap? I remember he used to always wear a four-point hookup with the bottom two undone; my guess is that he’s switched since they started fining players for having them unbuckled. (He’s making an amusing point, actually: he’s allowed to wear the smaller chinstrap, but not the unbuckled one, even though they should be equally effective.) I just find it weird to see a two-point on anybody who’s not a QB or kicker.

It’s a bicep band, lot of guys wear them. It looks like Clayton has been wearing them for a while, they’re thinning out. A lot of players wear them ’til the bands tear. It must be a habit or superstition that causes guys not to replace them.

What ever happened to the gold jersey rumor for Missouri? Arkansas went all red (and we know how that turned out), but Missouri could have gone gold and had plenty of contrast. UCF and Mississippi State both wore home jerseys, and Oregon and Oregon State did the same last year in the Civil War.

Hockey isn’t a sport in America? So when I went to see the Sharks play…what was that?
I think the change with the jeresy collars could be comfort related. Speaking from experience, the stretchy material can shrink after repeated washings, causing the collar to tighten up a bit.
So much for the G-men withering in their “HOME” jerseys. They’re putting a serious smackdown on the Bucs in their own house…simply shameful. At least Pittsburgh made a credible attempt to defend their own house last night.
As for the Dolphins gear, as I understand it, they wear white jerseys over white pants at home (a nod to their glory days) and then white jerseys over teal pants on the road , then wear teal jerseys when they go on the road and play folks like the Cowpokes, Bucs, etc.

To clarify post #84: The “Northwestern stripes” refer to the ref’s socks.

Double Sucky, though the Army one is a little better.

I am a Mac guy, but my interest in this particular commercial lies in a few details of the uniform being worn by the ref. Just another day at the Uni Watch office.[/quote]
I did see the commercial, but I wasn’t at home, so no DV-R. The referee was wearing a jersey with the old 2-inch NFL stripes. It was not one of the newer models.[/quote]
Not only that, however, the guy’s socks don’t match either. One pant cuff on the calf is slightly higher than the other, but the stripes themselves are differently spaced. I’ll try to screen-grab if I can.[/quote]
Just looks like one sock is pulled up a little higher than the other

They were too small for elbow pads – it was what looked like a string with and NFL Equipment patch behind each elbow. Very bizarre and looked like it would serve no purpose. No screen grab avail – but take a look next time the offense is on the field.[/quote]

did anyone notice the NOB on Amani Toomer today in the Giants game. It looked like the letters were unevenly spaced, and farther down toward the numbers than anyone else. I don’t have a screen grab though……

it seemed like there was about 4 different uniform ideas going on there, miami hurricanes meets denver broncos meets some other stuff
Off the cuff question, but has anyone seen or remember any uni-related tributes to Drazen Petrovic? Thanks for any help. He died in a car crash on a German autobahn in the summer of ’93, so any patches, etc. would be from the ’93-94 season. Thanks.
Clemens’ fate should be decided on gladiators
After watching 3 quarters of BGSU/Tulsa, I am thrilled that the rumors surrounding the Browns changing thier uniform style have been discredited. I was kind of a fan of the orange alternate though.
Not uni related, sorry, but Tulsa’s RB just ran straight over a BGSU defender on a slip pass. Nasty.

I was wondering about Drazen as well. Hard to believe the Nets wouldn’t mark his passing somehow, but I haven’t found a thing. Guess I’ll keep looking.

Those are just NCAA socks. So the referee is wearing an outdated NFL jersey with NCAA socks.
He does need to blouse the cuffs a little more, though…they should be higher, closer to the knee.

Maybe I’m just jaded by the patch-crazy era we live in now. I’m just surprised the Nets didn’t (as far as I’ve been able to tell) memorialize him somehow on their unis. Maybe we should make a list of players who have led their team in scoring, passed away in the off season, and then gone without a patch.
I did find link (blurry) picture of Drazen in action back when he was wearing a Euro-uni. Any ideas what’s on those socks?

I wasn’t trying to document every memorial ever done — I was trying to show a range of what’s been done. There are quite a few memorials shown in the chart/table. I saw no reason to include things like the Snyder patch — it’s just a black patch with a number, which is a standard approach. I didn’t even come close to showing every baseball memorial — again, because most of them are just armbands or black circles. Hockey actually got a lot more play in the article than basketball did.[/quote]
I thought Paul did a good job at highlighting a few memorial patches from the NHL. Considering the number of memorial patches worn by NHL teams over the years, he only highlighted a few. It was not a comprehensive list.
They can be found on the internet, though. ;o)[/quote]
Really? Where? I wish someone would put a list together. Maybe on a blog or something.[/quote]
that would have to be done by someone with a lot of free time and a lot of passion in patches.
[quote comment=”198848″]I live in Ohio and I remember when Ohio State first announced they were changing their uniforms. People were furious and there was lots of hate directed at Ohio State/Nike. Nike said with the new meshy material that is form fitting, there was no way they could fit the old stripes on the uniform, thus they went to the stripes they have now. I will admit I hated the idea at first but now I kind of like the new uniforms.[/quote]
I am still upset! the jersey with the gray stripes were awesome!
USC has the same mesh around the link(half mesh & half shoulder material).
I was wondering if anyone noticed this … the unforms worn by OSU for the BCS title game had numbers that were a sight smaller than at any time during the year. In fact, at times, they resembled the NY Giants in their alternate reds. Weird.
