If they’d put this much effort into finding Jimmy Hoffa, they probably would’ve found D.B. Cooper while they were at it, along with Osama Bin Laden, the 18 missing minutes of Watergate tape, Paris Hilton’s virginity, all those ballpoint pens you misplaced over the past 20 years, Atlantis, and Waldo.
I’m referring, of course, to the tizzy that has gripped New York since it was revealed on Friday that a construction worker had tried to curse the Yankees last summer by entombing a Red Sox jersey in the concrete at the new Yankee Stadium. Once the jersey’s likely coordinates were determined, a jackhammer crew toiled for five hours on Saturday (imagine the union’s weekend rate — the Yankees really do spare no expense!) until the renegade jersey was located about two feet down, extracted, taken into custody, and displayed like a trophy. After the jersey was sent off to Guantánamo for interrogation, the Yanks announced that Kyle Farnsworth will be buried in its place held the year’s most surreal press conference.
The guy behind all of this is a Bronx construction worker named Gino Castignoli. As you can see, he looks like a real prize, although he comes off as a rather amusing character in this interview. And let’s give him credit for a good prank, no matter who you root for. But as some readers have already noted, Castignoli gets low marks for trying to pull his stunt with a replica jersey instead of an authentic — wrong number font, should be NNOB, etc. Yeah, an authentic is pricier, but you can’t expect to create a curse on the cheap. Am I right?
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to bury a blue Mets cap under Charlie Samuels’s house.

I am a ranger fan who went to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals at the Nassau mauso-leum and bought an Edmonton Oiler pennant to wave. the ice-landers refused to give me the stick so that I could wave the pennant!!
Also, I went to game 6 of the finals in Vancouver in 1994 and because I was waering a Rangers jersey, they would not give me one the Canuck rally woels.
Lastly, there is a die-hard group of blue-seaters in MSG who always cascade balloons during the National Anthem. This tradition has been shown on the rangers web-site for years. Last night they confiscating the un-blown up balloons at the gate beacuse they are a safety hazard!!!
So the SUX jersey has been exhumed from the bowels of the new stadium. And when you look at it, you see the moron who put it in there didnt even put an authentic jersey in there, he placed a crappy knock off of the real thing in there, which we all read about and saw ourselves.
So I have to just say this…The sh*thead who put it in there could have had the greatest of all pranks for the greatest of all times, IF HE KEPT HIS BIG MOUTH SHUT! I am a Yankee thru and thru and HATE the SAWX, But I have to admit this was a very VERY clever idea that you should tip your hat to.

The Yankees should have this dope sit in the bleachers in RF wearing SAID jersey when the SUX come to town on Wednesday and see how brave and smart he is then!
yes, link
AOL’s got a link slideshow thing up.
That cricket player is from the link: he’s wearing a red uniform, he’s black, and the name “Jerome Taylor” isn’t exactly Asian sounding.
The two jerseys in the Peter Forsberg photo are:
Left – Victoria Cougars (later the Detroit Red Wings)
(Here is a link to a pic and wikipedia explanation – link link)
Right – Montreal Canadiens (I can’t remember the year, but it was their jersey for a short time, I’m trying to find a pic but with no luck.)
I absolutely certain I saw the red sweater in link that I checked out of the library back in December. I’m pretty sure that the red one is a Team Canada sweater from just before WWI. I’m really not certain though. I don’t recall the blue and yellow one, but it could be an old Victorias sweater.
Additionally, if you want to see some really really great old hockey pictures, that book is wonderful. There are picture of players and uniforms going back to the 1880s, and even some pages out of sporting goods catalogs.
OK, not only beaten to it, but wrong.
Couldn’t find a good shot of it, but Justin Rose had a vertical 3-stripe thing running down his back on Saturday at the Masters.
He was also sporting a 3-stripe link on Thursday.

Actually, if he kept his mouth shut, we — and the press — wouldn’t be talking about it.
I love the new Royals powder blue alternates, but I do agree without the pants it makes it feel like there is something not right….no pants. I read that the reason the lettering and numbers were blue was so that could be easily read instead of the origional white lettering. GO ROYALS! At least black is gone, cant say the same for the Mets.
Looks a lot like Alec Baldwin, he does. And SHOULDA get his mouth shut….til Opening Day 2009. No jackhammers goin’ in THEN, eh?
Sorry if this was addressed in yesterday’s comments, but seeing the highlights of yesterday’s Nats-Braves game after work made me sick. Red home vs. navy away? If I’m being repetitive shoot me, but isn’t the MLB guideline that there can only be one dark colored team per game? Does red not count as dark? I figured that was put in place to keep at least one team in white/gray, since the result was an utterly amateur looking game.
although, who’s to say that he (or anyone else, for that matter) didn’t bury another jersey in the foundation, and used this one just as a bluff? Now THAT would be even better.

Race and name shouldn’t be considerations in determining nationality in cricket. Shivanarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan (both very “Asian” sounding names) are both stars of the West Indies team. Nasser Husain was a former captain of England. That being said, Taylor’s jersey is definitely that of the West Indies, and coincidentally, Brian had Shiv Chanderpaul’s picture up this weekend.

It was two guys he was working with that ratted him out on the prank. He didn’t go around blabbing it anywhere. Man all you had to do was watch and listen to the interview and you would get that piece of information. I know Yankee fans can’t read but I at least thought they could comprehend words.

Cut Charlie Samuels some slack. He had the gerat blue jackets and caps yesterday and according to the broadcast, Willie Randolph doesn’t like the all blue jacket. Which of course means until it’s too hot for even Rick Peterson to wear a jacket the Mets will wear black caps if Willie insists on black jackets.

Working in the Construction Management Industry myself I can tell you this. That guy will be “back charged” for the re-work required to be performed to remove the jersey from the foundation. Further he could also face charges for altering the design of the foundation, as the jersey could have *(unlikely)* affected the structrural integrity of the foundation. Given that the CM firm on the project is Turner Construction, you can be sure he’ll be seeing a bill sometime soon. The Yanks did not spend the cash to remove the jersey, Turner did, and given that they will recoup the costs from the IDIOT responsible.
Would have been better if he waited until the stadium was finished to open his mouth!
Both White Mana and White Manna originaly had two “N”s in the name, but for some reason the Jersey City location dropped the second “N” a while back.
The Hackensack location is fantastic. Anytime friends come visit from outside of Jersey we head over there.

No, I believe the guideline is that you can’t have blue and black in the same game. You might think it’s ugly, but I doubt many people have problems telling red from blue (not saying that some color blind people might not have problems, but I doubt it’s a major issue).

To be fair, the blue jackets aren’t that great. The blue looks a little too light and washed-out (at least it did on my TV), and the black script and sleeve logo don’t help. A richer blue and more orange trim would help. But beggars can’t be choosers. I was glad to see the blue jackets, and with them the hope that we’ll see more blue this year. But this team is not exactly inspiring hope in any sense at all…

uni-related blurb in today’s Atlanta paper about the Braves’ blue road alts:
link
Navy blues
After wearing their new navy blue road jerseys for three games in a row, the Braves might pack them up for a while after Glavine injured his hamstring wearing one.
“That’s the end of that,” Glavine said.
He had been following the lead of Tim Hudson and John Smoltz who won back-to-back starts in the jerseys the Braves first broke out in Washington at the season-opener.
The starting pitcher gets to decide which road jerseys the Braves wear after the home team takes first dibs. Hudson chose to go back to the new navy blue jerseys after pitching well in the no-decision here March 30. Friday he pitched eight shutout innings to beat the Nats 3-0.
“I love the blue jersey, I was hoping we’d win [Friday] because if not, we would be 0-2 with it,” Hudson said. “Everybody else likes it a lot. We’ve just got to win while we’re wearing it. If we keep losing, we’re not wearing it. Bobby [Cox] might burn it.”
[quote comment=”252110″]link the more reason that “Royals” should be white with royal blue trim……[/quote]
So, according to your rationale, it’ll be perfectly fine if I suggest that they add link to their official color scheme for the ’09 season? I mean, its “royal”, right? (Paul’s gonna love me for that one.)
Since I’ve noticed a lot of people are sticklers for sports teams being historically, anatomically and/or geographically correct with names, uniforms, and logos, it only makes sense for the Royals to adopt a variation of this link. They should also wear chaps, allow only real bulls to populate the bullpen, and host a nightly cattle drive around the warning track during the seventh-inning stretch.
Sound ridiculous? Yeah, I thought so, too. :)

It looks like Angel Hernandez is wearing a link. Everyone on my high school cross country team had one of these about 10 years ago.
As a neutral who dislikes both the Yanks and Red Sox, I have to say my reaction was that this was a great prank by the Red Sox fan and that the Yankees’ reaction — or overreaction — had to be a Red Sox fan’s dream. The Yankees needed to handle this with a light touch; instead they just confirmed every stereotype about themselves.
But I agree, the guy definitely should have sprung for the authentic. That’s the only thing that would have made it better.

[quote comment=”252256″]As a neutral who dislikes both the Yanks and Red Sox, I have to say my reaction was that this was a great prank by the Red Sox fan and that the Yankees’ reaction — or overreaction — had to be a Red Sox fan’s dream. The Yankees needed to handle this with a light touch; instead they just confirmed every stereotype about themselves.
But I agree, the guy definitely should have sprung for the authentic. That’s the only thing that would have made it better.[/quote]

not only are the green jerseys ok…they’ve been a part of the a’s uni-scheme for decades-even before they were the oakland baseball club (i for one wish they’d bring back the yellow jersey and pair each one with the corresponding pants)…but keep even that to a minimum

Well… I wasn’t going to say anything, but this yahoo wasn’t the only anti-yanks man on the job, and far from the most creative. And only putting it under a floor was lazy and amateurish. Now, putting it in the footings under the facade at the main entrance, where every fan will have to pass over it (I mean WOULD have to, if it were REALLY there) and it would be cost-prohibitive to remove it. THAT’S something. Also, how far down below the pitcher’s mound do you thing they’ll be willing to dig? Not to mention all the pro-Mets or pro-Sox or anti-yanks graffiti they’ll never find without tearing down walls, or worse…
Thank you Robert Eden for noticing that! I noted that about Billy Hatcher’s helmet (it doesn’t match the team’s helmets either, no black-brimmed Reds helmets for away games) to my wife and she told me to go put on my Uni Watch T-Shirt. Technically, Billy’s is correct since it matches the team’s hat, but i’m not sure why Mark Berry doesn’t have a black brim.

Okay, golf newbie here. I don’t normally watch the Masters but watching it on a 50″ plasma in hi-def while going in and out of a nap is just so relaxing. Onto my question…
What’s with the white coveralls the caddies wear? That’s not the norm for all golf tournaments. Does the Masters have a reason for doing it, or is it one of those “we’ve always done it that way” things?
Say what you want about the NHL but why does a team in California (the Sharks) have one of the best redesign of a jersey. By far a very sharp jersey and logo. I mean if you had to go with modern day style and flair that is the way to go. I didn’t say it’s the best jersey in the league but it certainly isone of the top 10 easily.
This is probably a question that has been answered on this site before (and one that could be easily answered if I watched a game), but do major league coaches and managers have to wear a helmet when making a visit to the mound? I was at a Tennessee Smokies game the other day (Cubs’ AA affiliate; Cubs fans will be happy to know that Samardzija was lights-out on the mound), and both the pitching coach and manager for the home team wore helmets when going to the mound.
And why hasn’t the NCAA adopted the rule for its coaches? It would make more sense there, with the aluminum bats and all.
If I were a Yankees fan I would be completely embarrassed by Steinbrenner’s incitement to violence against a worker. This shows you not only what an idiot he is, but how badly the Red Sox have Yankees brass spooked (and I’m not a Red Sox fan).
On a lighter note, I was disappointed by the Phillies’ Sunday unis. I thought they’d look a little better than that. Too much of a ’70s pajamas feeling.

No, it’s only a Masters thing (or, it may be something that is the norm for all golf at Augusta National; I don’t know, because I would never make enough money to even be considered for membership if I lived to be 10,000). The other three majors (the U.S. Open, the Open Championship, and the PGA Championship) all require caddies to wear certain-colored vests with the tournament’s logo, but the Masters is the only one with the uniform.

This whole thing just seems like a fake. Just something to drum up an aura about this new Yankee Stadium. Because it certainly isn’t worth hosting a press conference over.
And the Red Sox? Wow can this bias stop? During the Japan series, ESPN made it seem like the A’s were privileged to even be shown on tv with the Red Sox, and gave them zero credit. And as of right now I count no less than 7 stories on espn.com’s mlb front page.

Interesting note from Charlie Usas, who writes: “I attended the Rangers/Devils playoff game in Newark on Friday night. Even as a Rangers fan, you can’t beat the deal on the tickets you can get there, and I wasn’t the only Blueshirt in attendance who felt that way (it looked like a neutral-site college game in the stands). Anyway, as we got off the train, there was a truck handing out blue pom-poms from rangers.com – I think the plan was to counteract the Devils’ white towels. Upon arrival, however, Rangers fans “in uniform” were searched for pom-poms, forced to surrender them, and then not allowed to take one of the white towels.” Bummer! Anyone know of any similar tales of fan discrimination?
Penn St. Football Came to the Linc in Philly to Play Temple for the first time in forever this past season…my brother painted his face like the Penn St. Helmet (all white with a blue stripe down the center) and went up to a table to get a Temple Towel and they refused to give him one. It was technically a Temple home game, although the temple fans were outnumbered about 1,000 to 1

I don’t know if I’m the first person to mention this or not, but Baltimoreans have got to let go of the Colts already. For crying out loud, not only do you guys have another, completely different franchise that has won a Super Bowl, but the Colts have won a Super Bowl as the Indianapolis Colts.

For the record, the logo pictured in the “Baltimash” (great work by the way) is NOT a Colts logo, but rather a link logo. The Stallions were a CFL team based in Baltimore in 1994-1995, and were the 1st (and only I beleive) US-based CFL team to win the Grey Cup. I apologize if this was already cleared up as I didn’t read every comment from the weekend.
Also for the record, I think it’s safe to say that pretty much everyone in Baltimore (including myself) has gotten over the Colts situation…but will never forget March 29, 1984 either.[/quote]

The very wonderful movie The Conversation ends this way, sort of. Gene Hackman becomes convinced that there’s a recording bug planted somewhere in his home (it’s not clear if there really is one, but it’s very clear that he’s paranoid beyond all reason), so he literally tears the place apart trying to find it. Too bad there really was a Sox jersey waiting to be found — the mere SUGGESTION of one would’ve been better, like an itch that could never be scratched.

For the golf-apparel aficionados:
Trevor Immelman (sponsored by Nike) was wearing a Tiger Woods-label shirt on Sunday at the Masters. The evidence was the metal tag on his left sleeve. It’s actually a “TW” crest found only on the Tiger Woods line of Nike Golf apparel.

6. flask with initials.
7. big beer mug with my initials. actually, THATS my most used gift. lol

It seems that (so far) at home, the Jays are wearing the whites until the lose, then the blacks until they lose, and so on. Not sure if it is just a coincidence, or how the powder blues will affect this ritual, but that seems to be what is going on so far.

I also wanted to comment on something I read from Saturday’s comments. There is a couple of pics from the New Zealand Hockey team the Ice Blacks. Two things, first the logo appears to be either a hockey player with his stick on the ice, or a kiwi depending on how you look at it, and a kiwi expat I used to play rugby with said that all of the New Zealand national teams were some variation of All Blacks (ie. Ice Blacks), and the basketball team is called the Tall Blacks. Every time I hear that I chuckle a little at the pun that has become a national team name.

Thanks!
i think i’ve been in 7 weddings and so far i got:
1.a baseball bat with my name on it. really cool gift! go to louisvilleslugger.com for that one
2. i got a heavy duty gym/weekend trip bag with my initials. thats my favorite, and most used groomsman gift!!!
3. hocky puck clock with my name on it.
4. pnc park wall clock.
5. knife and cd case with my name on it.
6. flask with initials.
7. big beer mug with my initials. actually, THATS my most used gift. lol
i’d say uni-watch wise. the baseball bat is AWESOME! everybody LOVED it. but the gym/weekend trip bag is probably the all around best. i use it EVERY time i travel. those would be my suggestions![/quote]
The lettering on Angel Hernandez’ head wrap (neck gaitor) is the Maxit Design logo. Hes got the thing upside down. They make insulated undergarments
How about bowling shirts with their nicknames on it

I need help, UWers. I have been hard at work attempting to uncover what brand of cleats link has been wearing this year.
I have e-mailed Yankee customer service!
I have e-mailed 3 Yankee beat-writers.
As of now, all to no avail![/quote]
Abreu link with link this year. Can’t tell if those are the cleats in question in your link though. A friend of my dad’s is apparently involved with Bobby’s glove deal with Worth, I’ll see if that guy knows anything about his shoes too.
I went to the excruciatingly long Mets/Brewers game Sunday (3 hours 45 minutes for a 9 inning game!), and the team store was selling the new blue dugout jackets. They look a lot better up close than on TV, but the black logos and trim is awful. Orange would make the whole jacket look better, especially as the black “Mets” script on the front kinda clashes with their home jerseys.

Teal? Really? Show me a teal Shark. Turn that jersey into gray and black (more gray than black, don’t want to copy the old LA Kings) and I’ll says it’s Top 10.
[/quote]
Teal is aquatic. That’s close enough.
Colors need not be a literal expression of the nickname – how many blue Bears, silver Lions, navy Tigers, teal Hornets, blue Grizzlies, green Eagles, navy Broncos or green Bucks have you seen?[/quote]
I just think SJ would look 10x better as gray and black. Wish I was tech savy enough to do a mock up. I have always hated teal as a sports color.[/quote]
That would be amazingly boring. Just to continue what the previous poster said, out of your top 10 that would be like having the Washington Caps make a black and white jersey, or Phx having a brownish/gray jersey.[/quote]
OK, might have mis-spoken about the ‘show me a teal shark’ thing. Didn’t mean that every team should have colors that match their logo, just saying teal is a horrible sports color in my opinion, and gray would look better. Put the Kings back in their old blsck and grays and I’ll call it a wash. Because thise are horrible too. I am surprised to see no one else’s Top 10 list.

This story came out with the right timing, season just opened, floor not tiled yet, etc… That Gino may not be a hero but at least he stands for his “beliefs” against big business Yankees, so it’s surprising he didn’t get much support here. And it’s not like he did it for fun or fame, since someone else leaked it. A die hard Sox fan from the Bronx, who pledged never to step in Yankee Stadium and then has to work there being teased by everyone must have some extenuating circumstances.However, seeing all the overreacting, they’re definately going after him. Of course he harmed no one, jackhammer cost is not significant compared to all the publicity, but the intent was there, like if the stadium was finished and it’s too late, and he had pics and vids that could damage the club’s image forever. I don’t know how serious is baseball to each of you but either it is and the man might have a point, or it’s just a game and then let it go. Personnally I’d rather see hidden curses in every ballparks than any hooligan prick who thinks he’s a real fan.

I gave my groomsmen cufflinks. A few were not sports-related, but the ones that were included a bicycle tire, a soccer ball, a golf ball, and a fishing reel.

my best man (belatedly) gave me a taylor R-580 driver…when i returned the favor as his best man years later…i still use it
i gave my guys (non-sports fans-except for my best man, who co-owned a golf shop) personalized gifts, like a silver-plated and engraved lighter for the cigar affectionado, similarly personalized flask for one of the big drinkers, cuff-links and collar pins (yes, it was long ago) for one guy…stuff like that…
i have also received personalized golf balls as a party favor at one wedding
i think the gifts you get them are less important in their commonality as in their uniqueness…think about each one’s specific likes/dislikes/needs/talents/hobbies and then tailor each gift to that…and maybe as a “gag” group gift get like custom wedding ‘softball team’ shirts to tie it all together…if you want to make each gift sports related, that’s awesome…i would just give each one something unique to him

I wouldn’t quite call him a menace.
It would have been funnier if the Yankees had gone on a ten year losing streak and THEN it came out that the jersey was there.
But, as far as curses go, it’s the cursees that have the problem. They have a mental block, sometimes, because of the alleged curse.

The biggest thing with the new NHL jerseys is that any way you cut them, they still dont look good. Either the massive logo creep on the back, or the absolutely bonehead rounded shirt-tail hems, to the apron stripping or the half stripe arms, or the half stripe swoosh socks, they all just look plain horrible.
Im a Canadian so I am extremely biased to my sport, and I want to love it for anything it does regardless at the idiocracy(made up word, I know) but I really can’t be happy with anything they did jersey wise. The shirt tail, as Paul pointed out makes any kind of horizontal stripes look dumb. You cant even tuck the jerseys in as it eliminates any kind of stripes all together. So really, we might as well just hold our breath with the NHL jerseys, one of these days (hopefully soon) Bettman will be gone or actually have to answer a question with a straight answer. Until then, the NHL is by far the worst looking sport of any of the ‘major’ 4 and most minor sports or fringe sports look much better.
We might as well give a hand to the Canadians, Red Wings, Blackhawks and other teams that kept there traditional and great look. Don’t ever change

Snedecker was far from the first to rock the so called rear-shirt logo. As someone who wears adidas golf products and works in the sale of them I can attest that their Clima-Cool line has the adidas logo on the back of the shirt right in between the shoulder blades and this has been the case for quite some time. I have shirts that are 2 years old bearing this moniker. So saying this type of branding was originated at the Masters was slightly erroneous. You can somewhat see the what I’m talking about in the text in white on the back of Justin Rose’s shirt link.

The “Big Business” Yankees? Ummmm, pretty sure every team is “Big Business”. Not to mention the fact that the Red Sox spent $133,440,037 this year to field their team, aka 4th highest payroll in baseball, not exactly in the poor house, eh? The guy was a prankster, nothing more, nothing less. Are the Yankees overeacting of course they are, but I think that’s par for the course for a Steinbrenner owned team. Neither side is any smarter in this case. can we move on please?

Did the jersey carry an explosive device? I didn’t mean support from a Yankee or Sox point of view but from a Uniwatch perspective, we’re not on a fan forum. He sounds more like a man who walked the talk, even if he wishes he had enjoyed his quiet glory a few longer. Call him a jackass or whatever, I’m not picking sides but :
-he’s not a follower
-he’s had hardtime breaking his pledge
-he hurt no one
Of course today a lot of people try to make him look bad but I like the way he took a stand (except he’s NOT a hero) and fought back against Steinbrenner, who as an executive should also watch his mouth.
Now, had he succeeded he would be praised by all the Nike haters, the Mets lovers, and even by the Yankees fans who see this new stadium as a blasphemic money machine.

Not the greatest picture (can’t see the word mark, but I’ve heard it’s black with orange trim), but I offer you linkproof that they exist. Photo 3 of 10 from the ESPN.com gallery Sat 12 April 2008 (Brewers v Mets).
Interesting that the picture of Forsberg should come up with the jersey on the left. Back when I was a kid, my grandfather got me this monthly collection of NHL patches, all from the league’s great teams. I have a full collection (I think) of about 50 patches, all with huge cards detailing the season the team had that year. They go as far back as the 1800s.

I’m watching the new new Iowa Barnstormers of Arena Football 2 on local TV tonight, and I noticed a wall ad proclaiming the field to be “Blue Cross Blue Shield Field”. This got me wondering, would you call it Shield Field or the Well at the Well? Also, I realize that it’s not the NFL, but they could’ve done a much better job with the end zones. I wish they would have gone with the “Flying Skyline” logo like they did back in the day, but I would’ve settled for having the team name at least fill up the available space instead of looking like someone pasted it together using Microsoft Paint.

Interesting note from Charlie Usas, who writes: “I attended the Rangers/Devils playoff game in Newark on Friday night. Even as a Rangers fan, you can’t beat the deal on the tickets you can get there, and I wasn’t the only Blueshirt in attendance who felt that way (it looked like a neutral-site college game in the stands). Anyway, as we got off the train, there was a truck handing out blue pom-poms from rangers.com – I think the plan was to counteract the Devils’ white towels. Upon arrival, however, Rangers fans “in uniform” were searched for pom-poms, forced to surrender them, and then not allowed to take one of the white towels.” Bummer! Anyone know of any similar tales of fan discrimination
A couple of years back the Ottawa Senators “banned” Maple Leaf jerseys from their arena for an upcoming Sens-Leafs game (I think there was an actual measure passed by the Ottawa city government as well). No one was actually turned away though, there was a plan in place for Leafs fans to pay a “fine” by donating canned goods to the local food bank. The Leafs wound up making something like a $5,000 donation to the food bank instead, and Leaf jerseys outnumbered Sens jerseys, as per usual.

No, I believe the guideline is that you can’t have blue and black in the same game. You might think it’s ugly, but I doubt many people have problems telling red from blue (not saying that some color blind people might not have problems, but I doubt it’s a major issue).

that jersey has a V and a C maybe it s a Canucks jersey… although I realize that wouldnt make much sense.
Following up late on the Forsberg background / NHL jersey thread, the following link suggests that the design is right but the colour is wrong for an early Habs sweater, while this link suggests that the design is right but the colour is wrong for the logo. However, lloks like good old link settles it once and for all.
Now how sweet would it be for the Canadiens to celebrate their 100th anniversary in 2009 by playing a game in their original blue and white — and to do it outside.
Sorry, screw-up on the link for the previous post. The Canadiens jersey with the right design but the wrong colour is link.
