Well, if nothing else, they at least looked like the Mets. I don’t think it’ll be much consolation to the Mets fans who hang out here, though. And I suppose you could make a doomsday joke about how they really did look like the Mets. (They lost, by the way, and fell a game back in the wild card.)

So skip that part and just look at the uni. No black. Pinstripes. One would hope that particular combo is worn twice more on this Shea-ending homestand, and perhaps even for another week or so. Any longer than that and Ron Santo will lose what’s left of his mind. — Bryan

    roflmao. i have tix for home game 1 of NLDS and home game 2 of NLCS…guess I’ll be getting my money back

    I was watching the Mets play the Marlins and I noticed that Hanley Ramirez has an All-Star Game decal on the back of his batting helmet. I don’t have a screen shot, but any idea if other teams have done this? Also has it ever been done before? I think it’s a nice touch.

    I know…again a Slap Shot quote for the Slap Shot picture.

    Toronto Raptors have new jerseys, nice, but the maple leaf on the back is not Canadian enough for my liking, it’s too bold and clip art like. But then again it could’ve been OKC.

    Ah I gotch ya…I guess it was too early for me

    so…after that garish beaver jersey vs. classic trojan…it looks like the early games are all featuring pretty classic looks… cuse v. pitt looks great, the U (in orange) vs. the heels, and hoosiers (looking awesum) v. sparties

    well…those are the only 3 games i get right now…but so far so good

    If this is gonna be a whole day of slap shot quotes ….. I am so in.

    I am personally placing a hundred-dollar bounty on the head of Paul Lukas. He’s the head writer and chief punk on that UniWatch blog.

    A Bounty?

    Yeah, A hundred bucks of my own money for the first of my guys who gets him to wear black to Shea tonight.

    As a hockey guy, there’s no way you can define Newman’s legacy in Hollywood with just Slapshot, but Reg Dunlop was the best part of that movie.

    There just aren’t very many Reg Dunlops left in hockey, and Newman played the role so well. Honestly, he will be missed for his amazing acting prowess, and Slapshot will be watched tonight before my hockey game in honor of both Newman and Dunlop.

    RIP Mr. Newman. You’ve certainly earned it.

    Anyone else notice how North Carolina’s flag and number decals are WAY high on the back of their helmets? I believe Army has the same thing going on w/ their flag. Can’t find pics – maybe some help?

    I agree with you there Teebz. I got the chance to meet John Brophy (who Dunlop was supposedly modeled after) a few years ago when Brophy was coaching the Richmond Renegades in the SPHL. He was very close to Dunlap but I would give the edge in crazyness to Dunlap.

    Hey guys. I was the winner of the raffle for the “Remember the AFL” book, and just wanted to let you all know that it’s even better than described! Thanks for such a neat book.

    I would also like to comment on the stamps Paul used for sending the package. They are vintage “black cinema” stamps, that look very cool. I cut them off the package, and will be using it as my bookmark. I guess I should have expected nothing less!

    Great job Paul!

    New Royals first baseman Kila Ka’aihue is the first major league baseball player with an link in his last name. A few NFL players of Hawaiian or Tongan or Samoan ancestry have had them; I remember Chris Fuamatu-Ma’afala’s being a straight line up and down, while link has a deluxe ‘okina that is a bit more complex that the standard up-and-down apostrophe (although maybe if anyone on the Redskins had an apostrophe, it would have looked like that too).

    The Royals didn’t give Kila an ‘okina in link with Wilmington, or in link with link, and the Omaha Royals don’t have NOBs, so we were all surprised and gratified to see the ‘okina on his link once he was called up at the beginning of September. But as you can see it is just sort of wedged in there, with the two A’s not any farther apart than they would be with no ‘okina at all.

    Meanwhile, still in the minors, his younger brother link has had link throughout his time with the Mississippi Braves, though I can’t find any pictures of him at lower levels. The Braves are taking a more generous approach to Kala’s ‘okina, treating it as a separate character, taking up as much space as a hyphen would between the two A’s.

    How have NFL and college football teams treated ‘okinas in the past? I hope none of them have been simply ignored like Kila’s was in the low minors.

    Having seen Kala Ka’aihue play in person while he was with the Rome Braves playing the Columbus Catfish, I can confirm he did have an ‘okina on his jersey with Rome. I have no pictures for this but it’s not something you easily forget.

    lets assume for a second the mets DO actually make the playoffs…does luis castillo somehow get *injured* and ramon martinez is needed as a replacement?

    I think the Mets will hire a Soprano, and Luis will find himself “injured” real quick.

    What a scrub he’s been. And he’s under contract for 3 more years….

    I understand that; that doesn’t make it less vulgar.

    Well, my Gators are losing, but I just noticed something as the Rebels just scored. Brandon Spikes, MLB, is wearing the new Revo helmet. I believe the RB transfer from USC is too, along with OLB Dustin Doe.

    Ummm … it probably shouldn’t turn into a whole day of Slap Shot quotes. Let’s make sure it doesn’t, yeah?
    Or at least use moderation.

    Bryan, with “Slap Shot” I’m not sure that’s possible. ;-)

    But you’re the moderator, so I’ll desist.

    Meanwhile … R.I.P., Mr. Newman. Great actor, better man.

    That’s a great-looking Mets uniform. Since that isn’t the helmet where royal and black blend, I like that, too.

    thank you johan
    Yeah, LI Phil, that was Clutch Cargo for your boys on his part. Jeebus, my team’s already down by 2. We might both be biting our nails tomorrow.

    Since Paul likes to “work blue” on the site, it follows that the commentors would do the same.

    Taylor, that is an old post. They are SOD and yesterday Mason updated their roster with current pictures, you can sort of see them here link. The “George” is not arched like the earlier report. Can’t wait to see them. Go Patriots!

    Double bonus in Philly. The Phillies are wearing their “home” Sunday whites today and Moyer is pitching with his faithful Liberty Bell stirrups.

    …and for good measure, “That ditch is Boss Kean’s ditch. And I told him that dirt in it’s your dirt. What’s your dirt doin’ in his ditch?”

    Phillies all-white uniforms would look OK if they didn’t keep pairing them with the blue hats.

    I agree that the red hats would make the uniform flow better. FOX is switching the games back and forth down here in Florida. They are back to my Cubbies and the Crew now. Lilly has a no hitter going into the 7th. Will be interesting to see if Sweet Lou keeps him in or rests him for the playoffs.

    Hey everybody, Georgia is wearing BLACK! This is big news. I hope I’m the first to notice this.

    Sorry, had to do it ;-)

    Did the new Virginia Tech uniform designs (with the colored side panels) not extend to the road uniforms? It looks like they’re wearing the throwback-style uniforms with the current helmet. It’s a really good look for them.

    To the guy not named Earl,

    I thought exactly the same thing. That road Tech uni looks wonderful.

    Actually, the game in general looks great as well. Nebraska is classy as always.

    Yes it was. Well, that and the general mood in Mets land as of last night.

    Michael, awesome find regarding the ‘okina on the Pacific island guys’ jerseys.

    I study Okinawan dialects, and we have the same problem — if you don’t include some kind of marking for the glottal stop at the beginning of a word or syllable, people will say it wrong. Diacritics to the rescue!

    I turned on the Nebraska-VT game and was surprised to see the Hokies rocking the throwbacks with the regular helmet. GREAT look for them! Ditch the clown suits and wear these full time (a home version would look stellar).
