Monday Morning Uni Watch: Super Bowl Edition

Would have been nice to have a video montage of both teams season highights or old Super Bowl clips during Tom Petty’s “Running Down A Dream” song…somewhat disappointed…THEN I SWITCHED TO THE PUPPY BOWL!!!!!

The only other uni-related thing I saw would have to be on the same play as the Tyree helmet-catch. Eli seemed to have put a little olive oil on his jersey to make that play happen. You think Skiba’s creative stitching patterns might help make the Giants a little more slippery than some other teams?

“That guy” is none other than Will Ferrell in character for his upcoming movie about, you guessed it, the ABA.

RE: Donyell Marshall

His jersey was actually pinned to his warmup shirt, so when he went to take off the shirt, the jersey came with it.

It could have been that way for months seeing as DM hasnt played until this past week.

Anyone else notice Moss’ gloves last night after his TD catch, the sheen was almost reflective.

Paul, you’d be happy to know the first thing my girlfriend said when we sat down to watch the game was, “the white team’s helmets don’t match the rest of their uniforms.”

Long live the RED and white… wearing my 1956 road sam huff #70 at work today (complete with sleeves that reach my wrists!!!).

shared the game with my dad as well. we are a season ticket family since after WWII. my dad attended his first game in 1939. the hug you shared with your dad was no doubt what I felt as well!

maybe the giants open at home next season in the white and red!!

Beat me to it! The name of the movie is “Semi-Pro,” and the uniform is actually supposed to be from the Flint Tropics.

Hey, I watched the Puppy Bowl instead of that insipid pregame show … and then got to enjoy Tom Petty as well. Best of both worlds…

[quote comment=”217869″]when did the giants get rid of the GIANTS on their helmets?[/quote]

Wasn’t it 2000? I remember them changing their uniforms the same season they went to the Super Bowl.

Long time reader, first time poster. First off Im glad the Giants won, but damn do I dread listening to Mercury Morris.
Next the real reason I came, does anyone had a pic of Patriots LB Adalius Thomas from last nights game? Im pretty sure it was him, if it wasn’t please correct me, but he had on 2 different colors of gloves last night. The one hand looked like it was maybe a black and white glove, while the other was clearly all red. any help?

Not Super Bowl related:

In the Rangers-Devils game on Friday night, one of the refs was wearing black pants with a white (or grey) stripe down the side. Couldn’t find any photos or any mention of it in the coverage of the game, but I assume it was a case of lost luggage.

[quote comment=”217856″]Paul, you’d be happy to know the first thing my girlfriend said when we sat down to watch the game was, “the white team’s helmets don’t match the rest of their uniforms.”[/quote]

Haha. My girlfriend asked me if those are their normal road jerseys and when I asked why she said whats with all the red.

Not being a Giants fan I have not paid much attention to their uni, outside of what goes on in this blog, so over the past month I have been pretty much forced to watch them. That being said all I can say is that it is time to revisit the thinking behind the curved nameplate. It just looks terrible!

They are not flush with the jersey, the curve doesn’t match seams…it’s a mess. These jerseys have morphed away from the initial jersey pattern that made them work originally. I have seen at least 3 different style jerseys out there now. One of which being Eli Manning’s who’s jersey features a seam that goes straight along his back just like most NFL jerseys….making the curved nameplate look, well, stupid. It officially no longer falls into the “is it good” category.

Paul, pull some strings with your man over there and get him to straighten things out…literally

Also Kavika(spelling) Mitchell, 55 of the Giants was wearing all red Nike Air Zoom Assassin cleats in the first half.

Second half, he wore all black Nike cleats, seemingly next year’s Speed Vapors.

Any Pics?

By the Way, Thomas, Wilfork, and many of the Pats have been wearing two different colored gloves all season.

Paul, I hate to get all mushy here but what a great moment it must have been with your father. Some people say “it’s only a sport” or they can’t understand why people make sports such a large part of our lives. Moments like that are what it’s all about. Sure we love the competition, we love participating, and we love watching sports. But sports can bring people closer together. It can bring fathers and sons closer together. It can bring brothers, sisters, mothers, friends together with a common bond, and ultimately, that’s why we’re all here.

And on a funny note, I too had numerous phone calls from friends and family asking about:
*Green Dots
*#21 Decals
*#91 Decals

Not only was Angry Homeless Guy wearing red, his sweatshirt did not have the “BB” either.

Congratulations Paul. No one gave them a chance. I’m proud as heck of Eli right now, continuing the streak of Manning excellence.

Those Red road unis link looked better

I am wondering too about COrey Websters child wearing a throwback Pats uni. I did some research, and Corey went to LSU, so it can’t be a college jersey she was wearing. Maybe there’s more too this than just the odd quirk. OR her mom is a die hard Pats fan…that’s the only ting I could think of. Way to show support to DADDY!

Webster played at LSU as did the late Marquise Hill of the Patriots, (91 decals). Perhaps the jersey was to honor him? Great jesture nonetheless. If so, I’m sure Daddy would have been fine with it. I definitely would have been.

Paul,
Just wondering – what Giants road jerseys do you like better – the current ones or the ones that debuted in 2000 with the red numbers with blue trim?

Do you really need to have a card telling Eli Manning how to say “I am going to Disneyland”?

Look at right side of photo

I am sure this has been covered before, but don’t the Pats have two Brady players? Kyle and that other guy. I thought NFL rules required an initial with the NOB if two players had the same last name?

What do the ’72 Dolphins and the ’07 Patriots have in common?

Nothing.

Thank God we will NOT have to hear the experts kiss Brady and Bellicheck’s ass anymore…they’ve been brought down to earth and are a Landry-lead Cowboys level now…Great team, but not the best of all time…there is a God.

Looks like someone has the type of laminated card in front of him too.

The Patriots tried to do the same thing (have Belichick wear a different sweatshirt to move more merchandise) in the Colts Monday Night game in 2005. They lost that one too.

I’m a Pats fan and knew the game was over as soon as I saw Belichick’s sweatshirt. Why don’t NFL teams understand this kind of detail is important?

[quote comment=”217918″]Changing the subject to the above-mentioned “leagues who have retired numbers for officials”, I think the National League retured #1 for many years, as I never saw an umpire wearing it in the 1980s and 1990s. Supposedly they “retired” it not for anyone who actually had #1, but instead they picked three great umpires — I think Bill Klem was one, and I want to say that Jocko Conlan and Al Barlick are the other two, maybe — and arbitrarily banned the first three numbers from the sleeves of current umpires.

Not sure what they do now that the two leagues’ umpiring systems have merged. Anyone know?[/quote]

According to the umpire roster on mlb.com, numbers 15 & 40 were not in use in 2007, as well as #42 (assumably for Jackie Robinson). 15 was worn by Joe Brinkman before he retired, so I believe it’s not a case of being retired, just not used (I don’t remember who used #40). There are a lot of “higher” numbers not in use, but prior to the merge, the numbers didn’t go that high.

I do remember that for years after John McSherry died on the field no one used #10, but that’s not the case anymore.

Also, Bruce Dreckman used #1 this past year, so it’s not retired.

So I was watching the game last night with some friends and my roommate turned to me and asked, “so what is up with green dot on Manning’s helmet?”. A few minutes later she turned to me and said…”why does that player have two numbers on the back of his helmet?” Obviously she isn’t a fan of Uni Watch like I am :)

I was as irritated in the past week as I was before the Rose Bowl in 2006 when ESPN ran special after special asking where USC’s team that year ranked in history. Don’t they realize that kind of story is just going to tick off the opposition and lead to a big upset?

As a Bears fan I didn’t care who won last night, but part of me was pulling for the Giants as a high school classmate, Offensive Lineman #66 David Deihl, was playing in the game. Deihl was a year ahead of me, but we knew each other as we had a class or two together and while it was hard not to know who the giant (no pun intended) kid walking around the halls was, but I was on the hockey team and people tended to know who I was.

Either way, I googled Dehil today and looked at the pictures and I came across one of him in front of his locker. What I found really awsome was the fact that he was wearing a t-shirt from our alma mater, not some Giants issued shirt.

I know, bit off base, but something that entertained me this morning as 5 inches of snow is falling here in Minneapolis.

As a Giant fan myself I don’t get the Patriot bashing. They are a very good team and being good does not make them arrogant. It just looks that way when a team wins a game and walks off the field with a grin on their face.If that was true I am very arrogant this morning. Just can’t get the smile off today. I rooted for the Pats all the way through the playoffs because I wanted the best team to be in the championship so nobody could say that whoever won got lucky because they didn’t have to play the Patriots. And I’m glad thats how it turned out. The Patriots were very respectful of the G-men and I think they have a lot of respect for the Pats.

Seriously… if the pats had won last night, they’d go down in the books as the best flag-football team of all time. They play in a fast era where nobody is allowed to touch anybody. You want great teams? Dallas, san fran, and of course, the steelers! At least those teams actually played football back in the day.

During the last few minutes before the game, Fox was doing a pregame spot with the deep voice and projected highlights. Next to the projector screen there was a Pats jersey and a Giants jersey hanging. It looked like it was the Giants old white jersey and not the one with the red stripes on the sleeves. Did anyone else catch this or have a screen grab?

BRADY IS A QUICK-CHANGE ARTIST?

Did anyone else notice that Tom changed his jersey at half-time? He had several grass stains on it before the half (from seeing more turf than a landscaper at a golf course). Amazingly, when he returned to the field for the second half of the contest the jersey looked like it just came out of its RBK polybag. Hmmm . . . .

Calling it one of the greatest games in history is a bit of a stretch. But definitly one of the better Super Bowls I’ve seen in years. Mostly because of the defenses, IMO. I’d take that over a 42-35 game any day of the week, especially Sundays. Thanks Gints, for bringing respect back to the NFC!

These were not “little things” in regards to the differences of the jerseys in Super Bowl VII.

I think it was from the NFC Championship game but all the pics I’ve seen of that his logo is right, maybe it fell off and he stuck it back on himself? I’m gonna try and get hold of a copy of the paper in question (Thursdays Daily Record I think) and scan the pic. It’s not just a lazy mirrored pic by the paper either, because all the other logos and numbers were correct, just the 3d bumper logo.

Even when the score is close, it’s usually not a good game.

Hopefully, y’all will remember the pics of the Giants fan at the Wild Card game in Tampa wearing the Norwood jersey and the Giants lisence plates around his neck. I found two stories concerning him and link and link online today.
Ruback attended the same high school as me but graduated 8 years prior to me. When I entered the high school, he was hired to teach, and coach JV Football and Baseball. It turns out that of the 15 years that I ended up playing organized football, the year that I played directly for him was by far, my favorite.
He crafted a tremendous playbook but wasn’t above watching Sportscenter the morning of a game and teaching us our parts in the parking lot or on the bus.
And obviously, he is a PR genius. He brought our low-income, largely immigrant community to our games in droves!

Coincidentally, he is also a Uni-nerd. Hopefully, with some guidance, he might someday “get it”.

all part of easton’s grand plan to make them 9% faster than rbk[/quote]
The stripes don’t go all the way around because there is actualy a flap there where players can unzip the breezer pant leg. As a player I never understood this as the rules state they’re supposed to be zippered up at all times, so it’s not like you can (are supposed to) leave them open for some more air circulation on your balls.

I did play with one guy who it made sense for though as he’d get all his equipment on, skates too before putting his breezers on. Because skates are a bit clunky to get through a breezer leg, being able to open them up kept him from shreding his breezers with his skate blade.

If you look close enough at goalie breezers the stripes doen’t go all the way around, but that’s because a different material is used on the inner leg and I’ve been told that the stitching for the stripes doesn’t last long so instead of having a crappy looking stripe that’ sshreding and falling off, they leave it off that patch.[/quote]

some brands have the zippers, some don’t. It looks like those don’t. Instead they have a stretch fabric there that would make putting the stripes on it impossible without ruining the stretch. I suppose they could sublimate the pattern on, but that would be a lot of trouble and probably wouldn’t match too well.

BTW, putting skates and shin guards on before the pants makes it easier to attach the sock to your jock with the velcro tab, and makes it easier to bend over to tie your skate. That’s the way to go…

Perhaps we should invite him to join the party?[/quote]

He even has the Rockford East E-Rabs on the link, about a 2 minute drive from my house. Notable because E-Rabs is an acronym for “East: Red and Black School”. I dare you to find a dumber nickname than that.[/quote]

You live Rockford? I live in Janesville, WI. Just a hop/skip/jump away. Ever play golf at Glen Erin Golf Club??

I got some dumb Wisconsin nicknames for ya. Rhinelander is the Hodags. A mythical creature found only in Rhinelander. Eau Claire is the Old Abes (their mascot is a bird or something). Kaukauna have the Galloping Ghosts. (Their mascot is literally a guy on a horse in a white sheet…yes, just like the KKK. How it has never been protested and changed is beyond me)

Since 1903, if you include professional football, baseball, hockey and basketball New York teams have won 52 “World Championships”. Obviously close to one every other year. And this is not including College championships.

(Football = 4, Baseball = 38, NBA = 2, NHL = 8)

Is this the most championships for one state? If it is, isn’t time for the Empire State to share the wealth?

I don’t think there’s hating here. Only a couple of people didn’t like it, as is their right. In my personal experience, I was watching with nine other people — none of us Giants or Patriots fans, but rooting for the underdogs anyway — and we all thought it was an excellent game. I even remember turning to my girlfriend and saying, “This is the best Superbowl I have ever seen,” and her nodding in agreement.

That said, we did go to K-Mart afterward, and a guy approached us asking who won the Superbowl. Turns out he fell asleep halfway through. So, you know … different strokes.

Re: the disneyland card.

Clearly anyone could remember 4 words if that job is their sole purpose for waking up that day.

The reason for the card is to hold it in the player’s face as he is celebrating his biggest achievement ever, hoping he will read it and it will remind him to say the line for the commercial. They probably were briefed on this possibility earlier in the week and could easily forget all about it given the events of the past few hours.

If they dont get someone to remember to say it, they lose the post-game celebration moment that is essential to what the commercial is trying to convey.

[quote comment=”217978″]I was as irritated in the past week as I was before the Rose Bowl in 2006 when ESPN ran special after special asking where USC’s team that year ranked in history. Don’t they realize that kind of story is just going to tick off the opposition and lead to a big upset?[/quote]

Like I always say, you get a lot more accomplished by being ticked off and having Vince Young as your quarterback than you do by just being ticked off.

So the times when there hasn’t been an upset, the other team just didn’t get ticked off enough?

That’s why I found the slogan for this year’s Super Bowl to be so ridiculous: “Who Wants It More?” I guess the Patriots didn’t want it. Yeah, that must be it. The Giants just wanted it more. Like if link, the guys at Yeshiva just didn’t want it enough? That’s why?

Football is a simple game that too many people like to try to complicate unnecessarily. You block better, you tackle better, you control the line of scrimmage, you don’t turn the ball over and you protect your quarterback and hit theirs, you have a better chance of winning. Lombardi knew how simple it was. “Bulletin board material” and “Who Wants it More?” and “guts, class, determination,” all that stuff is nice and all. But that ain’t why you win football games.

I think it was MC, not MK. Mike Carey. The referee initials the balls before the game (maybe just the kicking balls, but I think they put “K” on those as well) to show that he has inspected them and that they’re kosher and so no one tries to sneak in an unapproved ball that’s better for passing or kicking or whatever.

I agree with everyone who said that this was not a very exciting football game. I’m all for a good defensive battle, but only if the offenses are performing well enough too. Both QBs seemed to struggle all night, at least until the last five minutes. This is the Super Bowl, not Lions-Cardinals in the preseason; both teams should be ready to play their hearts out, and execute well. Overall, not a great, exciting game, not even as good as the recent SB games.
