Ricko Would Be Disappointed

First off, kudos to the kid for thinking quick and welcoming the new guy to town. But masking tape? Black Sharpie? Really?

Even though it would clash a bit — but still be better than the current product — I think I would have gone with a blue painter’s tape to cover up the old name and number. Then maybe use some Wite-Out for the letters and number, and then get a bit of yellow and blue Sharpie in there for the trim.

Not that I put a lot of thought into it or anything. — Bryan

    [quote comment=”298856″]It wouldn’t be a Uni Watch weekend without Bryan picking on a kid.[/quote]

    Agreed. Maybe Bryan got picked on a lot as a kid and feels a compulsion to transfer that onto other kids or something. That’s the only thing that might explain this otherwise unexplainable predilection for picking on kids.

    Besides, Bryan’s idea is stupid. There’s no way that blue painter’s tape would stick on fabric. Believe me, I’ve tried it before.

    So, that’s a “double dumb-ass on you”, Bryan. (Bonus points if anyone can identify that quote.)

    I’m harmless. Part of the free speech movement.

    Admiral, there be whales here!

    OK, before I quote/paraphrase the whole damn movie, I’ll get back to the topic.

    The end result is a stretched-out 7, but I give the kid credit for link for the number while at the same time, doing his best to link.

    Thanks for the efforts Bryan.

    i may have carried his soul but i sure can’t fill his shoes

    Kirk: “He’s harmless. Back in the ’60s he was part of the Free Speech movement at Berkeley. I think he did a little too much LDS.”
    Taylor: “LDS?”

    I don’t know what’s more shameful – that I have most of STIV committed to memory or that I had to look up the quote to confirm it.

    Bryan, while I haven’t always agreed with your stance, I think you have been unneccesarily picked at. You have done a great job, I wish you the best in the next step of your journey. Thanks for your hard work.

    From the department of jersey numbers with meaning, “Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey then brought out the game ball, wearing a Billups jersey with No. 7 on the back. Billups is donning the number in honor of John Elway.” (link)
    On the other side of the trade, Iverson looks good as Detroit’s #1. The way the typography works, it looks like he’s wearing his initial as a number, similar to Al Oliver with the Expos.

    Bryan is a member of the Latter Day Saints?

    he gives the damn kid kudos and still gets ripped on. Hike up your skirts ladies! He wasn’t bashing the kid.

    It’s not like he said, “Oh man what an idiot. I can’t believe how stupid he is for doing that.”

    Pansies

    I’ve seen a bunch of those homemade jersey changes at Texans games. Seems everyone made their Carr #8 jersey into a Schaub #8 with a piece of duct tape and a Sharpie.

    Bryan… enjoy your weekend rides, thanks for your contributions.

    Bryan –
    I for one have always enjoyed your posts and humor. You gave me a laugh on the weekends.

    Now, it seems Utah is changing their field at the end of the season.

    Butch Davis has gone too far! UNC has broken out a navy alternate top (with Carolina blue numbers and trim) for today’s game with Georgia Tech.

    I’m confused as to why people refuse to recognize that UNC has used navy blue as a third color for YEARS. Its a 3rd jersey…its in their 3rd color. I see no problem with it

    Duke doesn’t wear navy, either. They wear royal blue. Navy is a secondary color for UNC, and they wore navy unis back in the Choo-Choo Justice days.

    No, seriously… they all do come up as a shade of pink on my screen. Didn’t even realize I was adding to the joke. Come on Phil, I am sure you got some pink in your wardrobe…no?

    i got some pink dress shirts, pink rep ties, yea…nothing sports-related tho, and no golf polos either

    i’d say the boxes are tan, but you could make an argument that they are perhaps peach…pinkish? not on my monitor…perhaps you have too much red and not enough blue in your ‘hue’ (or whatever that color saturation dealio is called)

    [quote comment=”298904″]I drank what?[/quote]

    Gatorade, with a huge Nike Swoosh on it due to a cross promotion with the idea to ruin all.

    I did not catch the number, but if you are TiVoing the Texas game, around the 11 minutes to go in the second one of the horns on the players’ helmet was broken and upside down

    In the this week’s Game of the Year in England Arsenal took down Manchester United 2-1.

    The big uniform news was Arsenal wearing a modified jersey with an embroidered poppy. The poppy is ubiquitous symbol of remembrance for the dead of the two World Wars at this time of year.

    If I heard the stadium announcer right the shirts will be auctioned off for charity.

    Wake Forest is wearing gold jerseys on ESPNU. Apparently it’s the first time they’ve worn gold jerseys in fifty years.

    Here’s a shot from yesterday during the Minnesota State Volleyball Tournament of Stewartville High School wearing link.

    From yesterday (I’m sorry I had to work) but who the heck is Oregon State playing in this photo? link
    It looks like a black & yellow Michigan with numbers on the sides of the helmets. Very interesting.

    Also, am I the only person who doesn’t mind the nationals new “patriotic” kit? link Note that I said “mind” and not “love.” If they wore this every day they’d have to sign Toby Keith or something. I wonder…he could be a first baseman with logo creep by Ford?

    It is Michigan. The blue does look mighty dark in that photo. Oregon State’s orange looks closer to red as well.

    Looks good on her. Something tells me it won’t look quite as good on link.

    I think the UNC dark blue jersey looked good. To me, the uni was the removal of some bad nike piping from being a very classy alternative look.

    Anybody else think UNC should try to incorporate argyle into their football unis too (anyone know if they have before)? I enjoy it on their basketball digs.

    And Phil- You look good in a tanned, pink box.

    I’ll be reading the last official entry by you tomorrow, Bryan. Well done, and good luck in the future. Don’t forget about us little people!!!

    link?

    My previous comment on the lack of quality Big 10 football this year, had me thinking…

    Is there any conference in college football, that has such a large gap between quality of football and quality of team uniforms???

    Example: Big 10, is probably about an 8.5 on a scale of 1 to 10, on overall uni goodness. (In my opinion, many classic, timeless unis)

    They are probably a 2.5 on a scale of 1 to 10, on overall level of competition goodness.

    I’d have the SEC as the best overall, uni & quality of play combined.. probably about a 9 (uni) and 9 (level of play).

    Just food for thought on Saturday night…

    Not really uni-related, but logo-related, I suppose. I love the way Texas Tech brings the Red Raider logo to life with that rider who leads the team out onto the field.

    Been a while since they wore black-black-white, hasn’t it?

    Also, and this’ll probably jinx the guy, but in a whole lot of years watching college football I have never seen a QB who puts the ball from point A to point B any better than Graham Harrell.

    Yikes, what’s everybody got against yellow/light gold pants? They’re everywhere in football, have been for close to 60 years. That mean you don’t like white or silver pants, too?

    (Or are you differenating between the colors of Oregon/Michigan and, say, Iowa/Super Bowl Rams? Cuz, yeah, they aren’t the same color. Oregon/Michigan are flat-out YELLOW!)

    But, hey, I suppose it depends on when we started following the game. In that context, it’s totally reasonable. It’s just human nature to tend to favor stuff that, generally, is mindful of what we remember from our first experiences.

    LOL…Was just imagining some of the younger guys of today—when they get to be old farts like me—saying, “Girls just look better with neon green hair and that’s all there is to it. Hrrummph.”

    Ricko, it’s more on the whole “not having the pants remotely match the helmet”. Michigan, Green Bay, etc. wear helmets with yellow in them so that there’s yellow elsewhere in the jersey… Oregon, on the other hand, wears yellow quite arbitrarily. Look at those Arizona State pictures and tell me where else besides the pants that there’s yellow.

    Auburn wore their road uniforms for Homecoming today while UT Martin wore orange jerseys that looked to have been made at least 3 hours before the game started.

    i may be in the minority, but as a fourth-year Oregon student today’s combo is one of my favorite combos that we wear. the white-white-yellow thing from asu two weeks ago was stupid. My favorite Oregon unis:
    Green-Black-Yellow (helmet-top-pants)
    All White
    White-White-Green
    Green-Yellow-Green

    Worst: Anything with the Grellow helmets, all yellow (green lid), all black (green lid), and the ASU combo.

    The black looks like crap and it’s not a school color. They need to jettison it… rapidly. The white looks good, and the green’s grown on me.

    Couple things I noticed today:

    Stanford, even though they have clean uniforms, doesn’t have TV numbers.

    I still miss the old U of O uniforms.

    It rains in Eugene.

    Oregon’s baseball uniforms look WORSE in person than they do in photographs…

    As a disclaimer: I am an Oregon Ducks fan… but could that be the worst possible uni combination? I’m thinking that’s worse than solid yellow. Can you think of one that would look worse?[/quote]

    yes what they wore against arizona state[/quote]
    Nah… the white helmet and shirt combination is fine, but the yellow pants ruined that one. Today’s combination was just wrong from head to toe. The yellow pants need to disappear.[/quote]

    that’s what i meant
    the yellow pants were horrible[/quote]

    Yikes, what’s everybody got against yellow/light gold pants? They’re everywhere in football, have been for close to 60 years. That mean you don’t like white or silver pants, too?

    (Or are you differenating between the colors of Oregon/Michigan and, say, Iowa/Super Bowl Rams? Cuz, yeah, they aren’t the same color. Oregon/Michigan are flat-out YELLOW!)

    But, hey, I suppose it depends on when we started following the game. In that context, it’s totally reasonable. It’s just human nature to tend to favor stuff that, generally, is mindful of what we remember from our first experiences.

    LOL…Was just imagining some of the younger guys of today—when they get to be old farts like me—saying, “Girls just look better with neon green hair and that’s all there is to it. Hrrummph.”[/quote]

    Ricko, it’s more on the whole “not having the pants remotely match the helmet”. Michigan, Green Bay, etc. wear helmets with yellow in them so that there’s yellow elsewhere in the jersey… Oregon, on the other hand, wears yellow quite arbitrarily. Look at those Arizona State pictures and tell me where else besides the pants that there’s yellow.[/quote]

    Oh, well, yes, THAT combo vs. ASU sucked. Big time. Very D3.

    Said it before, to me Oregon looked best before they added the black. Those unis were fun, and rightly could be called “unique,” like Temple’s pants striping. Unfortunately, instead of remaining unique they became trendsetting (Cal, Minnesota…ad nauseum).

    [quote comment=”298928″]I think the UNC dark blue jersey looked good. To me, the uni was the removal of some bad nike piping from being a very classy alternative look.

    Anybody else think UNC should try to incorporate argyle into their football unis too (anyone know if they have before)? I enjoy it on their basketball digs.[/quote]

    The third/navy jersey for the Heels has been hinted at since Butch Davis came on the scene. He even goes with the navy and white for practice. (I’ve never seen them use the Carolina Blue practice jerseys as I have checked out the official website since his arrival.)

    The Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice connection is something that has been mentioned from the beginning–only to make it more palitable when it happened.

    Back in the late 1980s when Dick Crum was finishing his head coaching stint, Carolina’s white unis featured navy/black numbers and looked horrendous with the Carolina blue helemt–at least the home jersey remained unchanged.

    As for the argyle–it only goes back to 1991 when Alexander Julian (a UNC grad and designer of the original Charlotte Hornets unis) incorporated it in the redesign. That was also the first time navy appeared in the basketball unis–earlier it was black and the 1957 Champs even had red piping on the sleeves and neckline. I have now even heard the basketball team referred to as “the argyle.”

    My fear now is that we will come running out sometime in navy basketball unis. I can see the third uni thing in football and I don’t mind it, but on the hardwood I think I would actually puke–it would seem too much like Dook with their black.

    And BTW–No argyle in the FB unis. It would be a disaster on the order of the Cincinnati Bengals.

    Also, I am just waiting also for all the possible color combinations we can have like the Tennessee Titans since we introduced the Navy pants at Rutgers this year.

    Navy monochrome or Carolina blue monochrome? NEITHER!

    One last thing–the Carolina style guide calls the navy color, “Tar Heel Deep Blue.” To me it looks navy (and that’s what all the catalogs say).

    How bad is the Big 10 this year?!?![/quote]

    and how bad are those Iowa togs? why do they have to ape the Steelers? As a Browns, and Buckeye fan I found it HARD to root for the Hawkeyes to pull this one off! :-) :-)

    i may be in the minority, but as a fourth-year Oregon student today’s combo is one of my favorite combos that we wear. the white-white-yellow thing from asu two weeks ago was stupid. My favorite Oregon unis:
    Green-Black-Yellow (helmet-top-pants)
    All White
    White-White-Green
    Green-Yellow-Green

    Worst: Anything with the Grellow helmets, all yellow (green lid), all black (green lid), and the ASU combo.[/quote]

    I just posted this to my blog earlier today:
    Here’s what they should have (pay attention UofO Athletic Department):
    Helmets: Green, White
    Jerseys: Green, Black, White, Yellow (only worn occasionally)
    Pants: Green, Black, White

    Combinations (Helmet/Jersey/Pants):
    Green/Green/Black
    Green/Black/Green
    Green/White/Green
    Green/Yellow/Green
    Green/White/White
    White/Green/White
    White/White/White
    White/White/Green

    AND THAT’S IT!

    Get rid of the yellow helmets and the yellow pants, use just those combinations and The Ducks will always look fairly good.

    [quote comment=”298950″]actually…now im not sure…the patch is either for remembrance day or because it’s the hall of fame game…[/quote]

    It’s the Hall of Fame Game patch, Phil. Good on you for the hockey patch knowledge. That’s probably why you got a tan box – knowledge in all the major sports. ;o)

    The Leafs wear them every year for during the Hall of Fame Game weekend. I don’t see one on the Canadiens in that picture, but the opposing team usually wears them as well.

    I’ll be adding this year’s version to the list, but you can check out the previous teams who participated in the Hall of Fame Games here by scrolling about two-thirds of the way down the page.

    Did anyone else see the Boise State nightmare? Blue helmets, blue jerseys, blue pants…all on the blue Smurf turf. Pitiful. Painful on the eyes. But a helluva camouflage problem for the opposition…

    I personally enjoy the TarHeels navy jerseys. But my high school was a navy/carolina jersey school, so I have a bias to almost any jersey with that color combo

    I know we’re friends, but I’m going to have to disagree with you about the unis today. I thought they looked like crap. And I’ll have to agree with The Hemogoblin, the black is not a school color. I hate it that the basketball team has it too. Also, hate our uniforms for band. I think they look like warmups, and that is lazy. Good playing with you at homecoming though!

    [quote comment=”298956″]Couple things I noticed today:

    Stanford, even though they have clean uniforms, doesn’t have TV numbers.

    I still miss the old U of O uniforms.

    It rains in Eugene.

    Oregon’s baseball uniforms look WORSE in person than they do in photographs…[/quote]

    the thing i dont like about stanford’s unis were that the jersey was practically see thru in the rain…damn nike

    I agree, the band uniforms look like trash… which is one of the few reasons I didn’t take marching band… (stupid school policy… I really just wanted to do basketball anyways)

    It seems people love to hate Oregon and simply blame the uni. But the only thing wrong with there uniforms is the diamond plate. If they replaced that with tv numbers, or puddles, or something like that, then the uni’s would be outstanding.

    No horns, no piping, clean lines. It’s a good uniform. (sans d-plate).

    The green helmet is just plain awesome. You need to see it in person & in the sunlight to appreciate it. It is a special paint designed to replicate the sheen from a mallards feathers. What a sweet idea! And the O is designed after Hayward field (previous FB stadium) and the original Autzen. The exterior circumference of the O is Autzen Stadium and the inside is the track from Hayward Field. There aren’t many schools around who put that much thought into the design of one letter.

    GO DUCKS!!!
