If schools would just do this to a pair of shoes each year, they could save a TON of time trying to get stuff hung from the rafters. Think of how many pairs of shoes you could get into a decent-sized trophy case, too. 30 years’ worth, easy.
These shoes belong to Kevin Love, who now has more free time if you’d like him to come mark up your shoes, too. And in other UCLA news, Lorenzo Mata-Real’s headgear seems to have taken a less creative tone than last week’s edition. I guess we can’t be on all of the time, can we? —Bryan
Is this the 1st year Adidas outnumbers Nike in a final four? They had 4 teams in elite 8, and 7 in sweet 16 (Russell had WSU), now they ousted swoosh from the title game.
Was the “65” necessary? It’s not like UCLA won the play-in game.

Is the “65” unnecessary? Why is “64” necessary then? They didn’t beat 64 teams right?
The point is, the field started at 65. Then 64. Then 32. Then 16. Then 8. Then 4. Obviously it was a record of the tournament as a whole, not just of UCLA’s individual accomplishments.

Good thing Memphis booted them from the tournament because it doesn’t look like Love had left himself enough space for his team to advance. Unless, of course, it is actually a record of the tournament as a whole in which case he’ll have to write championship game and champion on the heel. That would be pretty pathetic though I think.
I have to go ahead and point this out. I was watching the Big Ten network yesterday (yes myself and most likely 12 other people in the country) and tOSU was playing Minnesota in baseball. It was just one big nike logo creep cluster fuck! Both teams were sponsored by Nike whenever there was a player at the plate I counted all together on just the left side of their uniform i counted 6 nike swooshes! one on the helmet, one on the chest, one on the bat, on the batting glove, above the left pocket and then on the shoes. I love my buckeyes but seriously that is a little overkill. (no pictures sorry, I’m sure it is on either of the schools websites.)

is it safe to assume we’ll see memphis in white and kansas in blue on monday night? UNC was the overall #1 seed, making kansas the overall #4, and making memphis the overall #2 seed since they were the home team as well. not a bad looking final either way. i’m just glad we don’t have to look at florida for the third year in a row.

Very interesting choice.

Considering my profession as an educator and of course, my children, they would obviously be tasteful. Well, they have yet to materialize because of some diagreement over principle, not my Principal, with my wife!
BTW, my friend literally got link the other day, and it is not helping my cause ONE BIT!
As for any Uni-relation, with so many athletes being inked-up, the truly unique seem to be those without it. As stated before, I don’t know whether I mind them on athletes in sports like baseball of football or whether I have just grown so accustomed to seeing them. I still, however, do not like seeing them visible on baseball players.

I agree with Mr. Lukas on this one. I think athletes look odd with tattoos…I grew up not seeing that and when Dennis Rodman joined the Bulls in the mid 90’s…I had some mixed feelings on that one. He had such a unique look I enjoyed but..it still looked odd to me.

I agree, it doesn’t fit. But the fans would never let it change now. People in this state eat, sleep and breathe (but not drink) the Jazz. I once heard Frank Layden explain the reason for the NON-name change. He said that upon leaving New Orleans and coming to Salt Lake, nobody thought they would last longer than 1 year, including the front office and ownership. So they decided to wait until they ended up in their ‘final’ destination before changing the name (sacramento being the market they were looking at). And each year after, for several years, they still weren’t sure they were going to stay. After a few years the name became a non issue.

Well, the North Stars were not named after the north star. They were named after Minnesota’s state motto “L’Etoile du Nord” which is French for “The Star of the North”. Insinuating that Minnesota itself is the star of the north. So you could look at it as if they were calling the players on the team the “Stars of the North” rather than the “North Stars”.
Personally, I never really liked the name for the very same reason you stated. It’s awkward and weird. I’ll tell you what though, I’d rather have them than the Wild :)

No picture but at the Cubs game today versus the Astros, Bud Light and the Cubs did something totally ridiculous. The two guys who do the “Real Men of Genius” ad campaign went on the field with Cubs jerseys, one with ‘Real Men’ as a NOB while the other finished it off with ‘Of Genius’ on the back of his jersey. Can you say logo creep? They then preceded to do a live version of the commercial for the entire stadium and then did another one in the WGN booth (the local station that broadcasts the games) for everyone at home. The commercials are really funny but I don’t think the Cubs need to be putting slogans on the back of their jerseys.

Phil, I’ve been scouring “the archives” and can’t find it, but there is unquestionably a shot of two players (one being Manny Trillo) with white tape “17” on the left sleeve.
I know Sporting News had it back then and I was pretty sure they re-ran it in one of their publications. I have the TSN Trivia Book and used to have the TSN Trivia Book 2 and would bet that is where I saw it last but I don’t seem have it anymore.
If any thinks they have this book, perhaps they could scan through it. It was a big deal back then and I know this group would have gone wild if UW were alive in 1973.

I saw that and thought it was idiotic. The thing that made me mad was when they were on the field (or at least walking off) they were walking side by side flip flopped so it said “Of Genius” “Real Men”.

I’ve actually seen those guys in the WGN booth a couple of times. I would have thought their 15 were up.
I don’t know what the Twins were wearing earlier this week, because their navy home alternate jerseys are back to normal (numbers are white w/ red trim and the NOB is white w/ red trim). Wonder if the Tuesday jerseys were a mistake???
Much to Paul’s disgust, the Padres are wearing their camo’s (now the Sunday uni) today, and catcher Josh Bard has on some new gear. A camo hockey style mask and green chest and leg protectors. Along with the batting helmets, and green undershirts, at least the Pad’s try to commit to the Sunday Alt’s (the pants still have the blue stripe, maybe they can get those taken care of next year). I like the look and know that several vets in the area appreciate what the Pads are doing on Sundays this year..

Just like there is Jazz in New Orleans, which is NOT coincidentally, the Utah NBA team’s former home. Which is in turn precisely the point. Names that make less than perfect sense after a relocation.
Looks like they went all out for the court at the Women’s Final Four. There is the required logo at center court, but they stained all the wood inside the 3 point arc to resemble an orange. Kinda cool.

in 1973, charley o “fired” mike andrews (his second baseman) trying to get manny trillo added to the roster
while browsing for something else, i came across this blurb:
[quote]The mood of the A’s players took a dark and ugly turn as they flew into New York. Player representative Reggie Jackson was going to file a grievance on Andrews’ behalf and the A’s were talking about striking. The A’s players taped “17” — Andrews’ number — on their uniform sleeves as a protest. Some wanted to outright strike, and others wanted to give Finley a hard time in next year’s contract negotiations. Once cooler heads prevailed, The A’s realized by striking, it would hurt their obligations to the fans, so they decided to play.[/quote]

does ANYONE have any visual evidence of this? it was very late last night, so i only checked a few sources, but i was unable to find any world series photos from 1973 showing this…
can anyone confirm this via visual evidence?

thanks for the help, larry…i’ve been off the grid since early afternoon, so i haven’t had a chance to check…not sure if paul would deem this ticker-worthy, but maybe it’ll warrant a mention as im sure more people read his entries than the sunday comments…i remember (as best a 7 year old can) the ‘firing’ of andrews very vaguely, but it was like a big deal at the time (i remember my dad being fairly pumped about it)…but not having the unisense i do now, i surely wouldn’t have paid any mind to such a ‘tribute’ of solidarity

Dishonorable mentions all over the place. At the very least…
1) Roy’s NOB not VAL-ed like it should
2) In both cases, the 3 digits need some extra color, namely metallic silver and a blue layer for the Avs.
3) Rockies use Athletic Block for numbers, not Wilson Varsity
4) Typeface for KER made to match front, when it shouldn’t
5) COLORADO front word mark totally wrong: Rockies wear ROCKIES on the white pinstripes, and Avalanche use a crest.
6) Where’s Bigfoot?
7) The hockey jersey part is short-sleeved. Actually, thank G-d they took that artistic liberty.
I hope that’s it…
