Whatever issues you may have with the game of football — and I have quite a few myself — there’s no denying the one thing that elevates this sport above the others: No matter what the weather is, the game goes on. And thanks to the nasty weather blanketing the country yesterday, we were treated to some great cold-weather gridiron action, including a pair of snow games (additional pics here and here; seriously, is there anything as glorious-looking as a football game being played in the snow?) and several more games in frigid cold. Not quite the Ice Bowl or the Snowplow Game, but I’ll take it.
In other weekend developments:
• The EagleBank Bowl was doubly uni-notable, as Navy wore their newfangled uniforms (the ones that debuted in the Army/Navy game) and Wake Forest wore gold. Lots of photos here.
• USF went with white helmets for the St. Pete Bowl (additional pics here).
• Coupla notes from Aaron Wiens regarding the New Mexico Bowl: First, Dion Morton (who has a very odd NOB, despite being the only Morton on the roster) had his nameplate coming loose. And second, the officials were using red beanbags. “I have never seen this before,” says Aaron. “I don’t know if this is something new, something being tested or something just being tested during this bowl.” Anyone..?
• Also from the New Mexico Bowl: Several readers noted that this may have been the first instance of BLOB — bowl logo on back.
• The Cowboys wore this logo as a jersey patch on Saturday (and good for them for only using it for the last game, instead of all season long). They also had a ceremony featuring lots of former stars, but Mel Renfro’s jersey was clearly different from everyone else’s.
• Speaking of the Cowboys, Terrell Owens showed up for the postgame press conference wearing this cap. Anyone know what that logo is?
• The Redskins wore a “33” hemet decal in memory of the late Sammy Baugh.
• Surprisingly, readers reported no significant helmet decal malfunctions yesterday, except for Mathias Kiwanuka losing one of his front helmet numerals (with thanks to Michael Romero for the screen grab).
• Color-on-color Condiment-on-condiment alert from last night’s New Orleans bowl, as Troy and Southern Miss created a ketchup vs. mustard tableaux (additional pics here). Southern Miss was actually penalized for wearing their solid yellows, because they were the road team and should have been wearing white.
Uni Watch Extracurricular Calendar: I’ll be making several live appearances early in the new year, all of them in Brooklyn and none of them uni-related. Here’s what’s on tap:
• Friday, January 16th, 8pm: The Forewords (my lecture/slideshow collaboration with Liz Clayton) will be performing at Cabinet magazine’s event space. For reasons not worth explaining, the room happens to be equipped with two very tall chairs, so Liz and I will have the fun of doing our thing from a lofty perch and you’ll have the fun of developing a crick in your neck — a win-win! Admission will be free; beer will cost money.
• Friday, January 30th, 8pm: Another Forewords gig, this time at the Sound Fix Records Lounge. We will not have tall chairs this time, but we may have a band performing either before or after us — not sure yet. Admission will once again be free, and there’s be a full bar, so you can buy us lots of drinks.
• Tuesday, February 3rd, 8pm: I’ll be one of the featured lecturers at the latest installment of Adult Education, the monthly-ish series of presentations on eccentric topics at Union Hall. The theme du jour this time around is “How To,” which I will address by talking about mousetraps — or, more specifically, the illustrations and other graphics on mousetrap packaging. Other speakers will include my longtime pal and Adult Ed curator Carrie McLaren (talking about how to raise an ape in your home), the very wonderful Mikki Halpin (how to be a super-fan), and some guy I don’t know at all named Eliot Glazer (how to read a Long Island high school yearbook, although I could tell you how to do that myself), plus there may be someone from the Graffiti Research Lab. Admission is $5.
Plus I’d like to convene a Uni Watch gathering in Brooklyn at some point in January. The dates I’m currently considering are the 17th, 24th, 25th, and 31st. Details to follow shortly.
Raffle Update: I’ve added two new prizes to the holiday raffle (plus I’ve changed the entry deadline from 10pm Wednesday night to 7pm). The updated prize listings, along with all other raffle-related details, are here.
Uni Watch News Ticker: TCU will be wearing a “45” memorial decal tomorrow night in the Poinsettia Bowl, in memory of Sammy Baugh. ”¦ Good article here about how Jets center Nick Mangold plays without gloves. ”¦ The current issue of SABR’s Baseball Research Journal includes a good article on the history of MLB players who wear glasses. I’ve scanned the five pages and put them here. To read the article, click on the thumbnails and then click on “All Sizes” to get the pages at a legible size. ”¦ Very nice basketball patch available here. ”¦ Navy wore their newfangled uni and Wake Forest wore gold in the EagleBank Bowl (with thanks to Kevin Whisman). ”¦ Lots of points of interest in this old Raiders photo (with thanks to Greg Riffenburgh). ”¦ Kevin McMahon found a bunch of cool memorabilia from his dad’s days playing football at Wisconsin, including some ticket stubs, a shot showing Notre Dame’s shamrock decal, and a shot of his father making a tackle while wearing a primitive facemask. ”¦ Color-on-color alert: That’s St. Thomas Aquinas H.S. vs. Lakeland H.S. in the Florida Class 5A state football championship Friday night (with thanks to Wayne Koehler). ”¦ Check this out: Joe D. as a Brewer! “I’m guessing it was an offseason barnstorming tour in the late ’30s,” says Bruce Menard. ”¦ If you care about women’s soccer logos (don’t all jump at once), you’ll want to see this page (thanks to Mark McGinnis). ”¦ RIP, Dock. ”¦ OK, so I still can’t show you what the Mets’ Citi Field sleeve patch will look like. But there’s no reason I can’t show you this MLB 09 screen shot that someone else posted on the Chris Creamer boards. ”¦ Similarly, when I did my NBA season-preview column on Page 2 back in late October, I mentioned that there was “a very odd uni-based promotion from the Cavs” coming up but that I wasn’t allowed to discuss it yet. I still haven’t been officially green-lighted to talk about it, but now Michael Curry has spotted this bobblehead at the Cavs’ team shop, so I think it’s OK for me to tell you that the Cavs will be wearing this outfit (which, as you can see, combines elements from several designs from the team’s past) for one game this spring. It’s part of a fan-appreciation promotion called “Fan-Tastic,” or something like that. I don’t have the exact date when the uni will be worn, but I think it’s in March. ”¦ Jeff Katz sent along some scans of 3-D football cards from the 1970 Kellogg’s series. ”¦ Looks like Bobby Grich’s pants came unsnapped here. ”¦ Here’s an odd helmet design. That’s Centennial High, from California (with thanks to Damon Hirschensohn, who also scanned a bunch of cool old photos from a 1934 issue of The Record, the magazine of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity). ”¦ The Ravens don’t use first initials for Jameel McClain and Le’Ron McClain, but the first “c” is styled differently for the two players (big thanks to Ben Kelly). ”¦ Evander Holyfield and Nikolai Valuev both wore Adidas gloves for their heavyweight “fight” on Saturday. ”¦ NY1 is an all-news cable channel here in NYC. Like most news outlets, they put their logo on their reporters’ hand-held microphones. But Marc Beck noticed that one of their reporters appeared to have a DIY hand-drawn logo box the other day.

The T.O. hat logo is a Ralph Lauren Polo Company logo.
I am not a football fan but I still LOVE watching football in the snow. The rare time I will watch a football game from start to finish is when it’s in the snow or in the rain. One of the coolest thing is sports is having a team play in any weather… funny seeing the ARIZONA cardnals play in the snow. lol
Fist time I have seen this…the Cowboys’s DeMarcus Ware’s #4 last night appears to have been ripped, and then mended for his game jersey. However they mended it in white instead of blue.
link
Patriots/Cardinals game had the end zones outlined in blue paint so they’d show up better on TV and for the officials to make their rulings.
Fox even helped those of us playing at home by providing the yard line the plays were at during the first half, but abandoned that helper in the second half, which sucked royally.

Was anyone able to see the Texas Stadium farewell ceremony? All I got was the damn post-game conferences on the NFL network. They would occasionally have a split screen of the players running by. Chapped my butt.
While watching the Dolphins-Chiefs game yesterday, I noticed what I thought might have been an irregularity in Dolphins tight end Anthony Fasano’s jersey.
It appeared that either the nameplate was shifted left or the number was off-center to the right. (I’d guess the former.)
Anyone get a good screen grab or pic? I can’t find any.

They’re not. Chicago’s in gray. Note the lack of pinstripes. (Yes, I notice what would be a home-styled catcher’s hard hat with the away jersey. No, I’m not sure how that’s legal.)
The crew in the New Mexico Bowl was probably from Conference USA. I believe they are the only D1 conference using the red bean bags.

No more road headwear for the Cubs next season. All caps (and catcher’s helmets) will be solid blue.
The logos on microphones are called mic flags.
Custom mic flags are not very expensive and can be ordered from numerous Web sites so it is surprising to see a hand drawn mic flag.
A hand-drawn mic logo and a thing of Jiffy Pop under her hat?
There were some other helmet decal issues. One of the Carolina Panthers had part of his stripe missing in last night’s game. It was weird because the lower part was there for a couple of inches, then an inch or two gap, and then the rest of the stripe.
Not uni related (but helmet bumper related) One of the quarterbacks got pummelled yesterday and came up with a bloody face from where his helmet bumper hit him in the nose. Anyone know game/pics?
Paul,
In regards to that Centennial High School Helmet. San Diego State a few years back wore a helmet that is the exact inverse of it.

[quote comment=”306881″]@ Teebz,
I agree with you about the piping on the Edge jerseys. There’s something about it that just doesn’t look right. I also don’t like the little chest numbers (San Jose, Dallas, Islanders, etc.) because they make the jersey look cluttered.
But, at the same time, I appreciate the effort to try new design elements. Over time, the ideas that the fans like will stick around and the ones that aren’t popular will go away.
I don’t know if it’s fair to talk about the “Edge template” as though all the new jerseys are the same design. There are some elements that have appeared on several jerseys (the vertical piping, for example), but overall I think you have to admit that the 2008-09 NHL has much more design diversity than, say, the 1990-91 NHL (when every team had a set of horizontal stripes around the sleeve and another set around the bottom of the jersey).
And I’m not knocking the early-90s jerseys (most of them looked pretty good). I’m just commenting on the lack of diversity.[/quote]
Guys, I hope it’s OK to bring the hockey discussion into today’s post…
Daniel, you make fair points, but the truth is when I look at the ad page that Ricko posted:
link
I don’t see a bad look in the bunch. They’re all distinct, but they clearly look like hockey jerseys. My problems with the Edge template (and I clearly think it is a template) are that it forces teams into piping, striping and color blocking in places that are not conducice to the design of a hockey uniform. Here’s one example…I was watching the Bruins and Blues game last night. I like that the Blues stuck with a lot of the classic elements of the previous design, but there’s no comparision between the current jersey and the previous jersey. The shape of the shoulder yoke and the highlight (distorted into a horn like shape) looks awful, and the piping along the chest, and lack of hem striping take away from the look of the uniform.

The Ravens don’t use first initials for Jameel McClain and Le’Ron McClain, but the first “c” is styled differently for the two players (big thanks to Ben Kelly).
This makes me chuckle. My 8yo son actually took note of this some weeks ago (“why is the ‘c’ on that guy’s jersey floating while the other isn’t?”) but I couldn’t find any pics out there to back it up to post an example. It was a proud parenting moment though that he’d notice such a thing.

Troy State and Southern Miss together were indeed a messy uni match-up. However, I enjoyed each of the unis on their own merit and was VERY intrigued by Troy’s stripes. On the pants and the helmet, they use gray AND white to make up the middle stripe. Not sure I had ever seen that before… any school tradition or cool meaning?
Another helmet decal malfunction happened during the Seahawks Jets snow game where a Jets player(no picture/player unknown)was missing half his left side decal.

It was painful to be a Reds fan yesterday.
Looking at that shot of the Bengals’ bench in the cold, there’s a lot of variation in the helmet stripes – is this because of the different types of helmet and their shapes (such as the Revolution)?
All three of the helmets in that picture seem to have slight variations in the stripes, and they all look a little odd with the larger spaced gap in the middle. Sorry if this has been covered before :)

I don’t think the logo’s that bad. On a totally related note, anyone else feel like pizza?

It really is like that, isn’t it??
But it’s not the logo so much, though truth be told I’m not crazy about it, it’s that if that particular logo is *ACTUALLY* the patch put on their unis.
They could make something so damn nice looking with the rotunda as the main focus…but instead we’re treated to that??
First, thanks to Paul for linking to a women’s soccer logo critique from his otherwise reputable web site.
When I heard of Chicago Red Stars I immediately thought of Red Star Belgrade. Obviously red stars featured prominently in much team iconography behind the Iron Curtain, but that is the one I thought of instantly.
Anyway, I think that it is one of the better options. I am just glad that the Washington Freedom got rid of the headless yet pony-tailed star.
Just an observation, but I nominate The Union Hall as the “establishment” I most wish were a few blocks from my place.
(Other than a ballpark, of course).

I also think you’re crossing into very dangerous territory when you are incorporating a non-MLB corporate logo onto a baseball uniform. Yeah, they’re paying for naming rights, I don’t like use of the name, but I understand the use (though I’m sure glad Wrigley Field will never be named for a corporation :)). But this is unacceptable on a professional baseball uniform:

[quote comment=”306934″]Looking at that shot of the Bengals’ bench in the cold, there’s a lot of variation in the helmet stripes – is this because of the different types of helmet and their shapes (such as the Revolution)?
All three of the helmets in that picture seem to have slight variations in the stripes, and they all look a little odd with the larger spaced gap in the middle. Sorry if this has been covered before :)[/quote]
Dan,
To give a quick reply, yes it is because of the different helmet models. (I actually asked the same question when Paul did his ESPN Chat thing a while back).

I have NEVER liked the red bill nor do I like any cap with a contrasting brim.
[/quote]
Really? The Braves and A’s caps are classics and have contrasting bills. I think they look very nice.
The Cubs’ red bill didn’t bother me nearly as much as their awful blue tops.[/quote]
You just mentioned two examples of caps that I detest because of their contrasting brims.
I am in the minority, but I prefer the solid green Athletics cap with the yellow embroidery.
As for the Braves, none of their caps have ever done it for me, but as a High Schooler, I can remember playing against a Connie Mack league opponent whose unis were exact replicas of the Braves roadies and thinking to myself, “Who, those are Smooth!”.

You are right…I can see what you’re getting at now. Man, after having a pretty classy farewell patch they are going to do that?? OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.
That is absolutely, positively the worst, WORST, non-advertising patch I think I have ever seen put on a baseball uniform.
Two things, one of which gives me hope that it actually is not the patch:
1) I know a lot of times these screenshots that are released are so far in pre-production they don’t jive with what comes out. Case in point, some of last year’s shots for MLB 08: The Show had uni nos. on the front for the Yankees.
2) LI Phil-do you know what the patch looks like? Obviously you cannot show us, but is Paul the only one?

Either paint the floor, or save money and leave it alone. “Blanking” the Sonic name draws more attention to it than if nothing was done at all (though no doubt there are many Seattle-ites that already think “[Blank] the Sonics!”).

re mets patch:
it looks like that patch might say “inagural season” in the blue and im guessing 2009 in the orange. i know people dont like the citi field logo to begin with (being that i dont care a bit about the mets, i dont care a bit about the logo haha), but if that is the case i would find it pretty clever. take the basis of the logo of the field and turn it into an inagural season patch. pretty cool imo. sure they coulda done better, but at least the sleeve doesnt just have a citi (not citi field, just citi) logo on it.

No that is Liverpool’s away kit they have had all year, they use a different kit sometimes for when they are away in UEFA cup matches though, it is green. I love the new away kits though, if you look at them close it makes a nice checker effect with the different shades of gray. change the socks though to gray and it would be better.

I remember someone posting that logo (as well as the rest of a matching set) on the Chris Creamer boards when they announced that the team was moving to OKC.[/quote]
Looks like they link.

i only found him in link
he does not wear mizuno, he doesn’t wear JB (that i could find)…the shoes in his ‘locker photo op’ aren’t his

good work johnny…i never said he didn’t have them, i only said i couldn’t find pics…but, as noted in that article you posted:
“the one thing they share in common is the turf pair that features a Nike branded turf outsole that is often seen on Nike Football shoes”
so, maybe the shoes don’t have a visible swoosh, but they’re still nike, not mizuno, which was jon’s original point[/quote]
More, on CC & Brand Jordan….

I’m confused!
Did the links in posts #104 and #133 not work?
They are from the site that Johnny F. posted a link to in post #136.
To further the point, I was going to reference the great site of UWer Mark Mihalik, when my ally beat me to it.
My pimp hand is WAY strong…When it comes to kicks, do NOT question me!

The ONLY saving grace is that they are a fusion of the AJ V and the Nike Air Force 1, with Nike’s “nubby” turf outsole.
Weather in Portland is so bad that Nike’s closing for the next week.

It’s really unfortunate that nobody in Portland drives a 4WD Subaru or anything like that.
The bigger problem in the color on color alert is that St. Thomas Aquinas’ helmet color gold/yellow is not the same color/shade as that on the uniform. i think it’s even worse than the saints
