Back in mid-January I wrote an ESPN column about Todd Asselin, the KC Chiefs fan whose prototype helmet concept was shown on a national game broadcast. As I wrote in that column, “Fans send unsolicited uniform and logo designs to teams all the time, but it’s unheard of for one of those submissions to make it onto the air.”
Or maybe it’s more common than I realized. In 1993, 19-year-old Randy Miller whipped up a new design for the Colts and sent it to a local Indianapolis sports show hosted by Mark Patrick, who featured it on the air. Okay, so that’s not quite the same thing as being showcased on a network broadcast, but it’s still pretty cool. Take a look:
I love how Patrick talks about having made uniform drawings himself when he was a kid. Also interesting that he wanted to Colts to try blue pants — which is exactly what they did two years later.
As for Randy Miller, the guy who drew up those tweaks, here are his thoughts on the matter:
Seventeen years later, I hate what I did back then. I am now, FIRMLY with the belief that the Colts have a uniform you should simply not touch. Back then, though, I was younger and the team stunk, so I guess I was just trying to create a new image that wasn’t associated with losing.
A couple of notes to consider:
• I was big into the throwback NY Jets uni’s at the time and modeled the jerseys after them. This is well before the Jets switched back to a retro style.
• Though now I’m pretty much opposed to dark-colored pants on football uniforms, here I went with a blue pant for the road, as well as a blue facemask for the helmet. The Colts actually adopted this two seasons later, but the pants didn’t last long — thank god!
• At first glance, you might think the horse is a direct copy of the SMU/Stampeders/Mustang horse logo, but actually the angle is different and I modeled it after a picture I found in a very old historical picture book on the Civil War. The horse in the book had a rider with a sword in battle. I obviously dropped the rider.
I think Mark Patrick thought I was a bit younger than 19. I never mentioned to him how old I was when I wrote to him (didn’t think it mattered). I had first sent another copy of the design to the Colts, with no reply. The Colts’ set probably went straight to the trash, but Mark returned his set to me. I long since lost it.
Good stuff. May all you tweakers out there end up with your designs being shown on the teevee at some point.
Oink: If you like meat even a fraction as much as I do, you really ought to snap up the deal currently being offered by Heritage Foods USA: 15 pork chops for $90 — and that includes shipping. A total bargain, especially given that heritage-breed pork is about 1,732 times tastier than factory pork (and also better for the planet, good for small farmers, blah-blah-blah). And in case you’re wondering whether I’m putting my money where my mouth is on this one, my shipment’s arriving tomorrow.
Uni Watch News Ticker: Phil and I had a great time yesterday at the Plainfield Curling Club, where we got personalized instruction from Dean Gemmell, the man behind the greatest (only?) curling podcast (you can see him in the video at the bottom of this page). He was a great teacher, and we were both getting the hang of it by the end of our 90-minute session. Very satisfying! ”¦ Tim Brulia‘s “White at Home in the NFL” listing has been updated to reflect the full 2009 season. ”¦ Yesterday I linked to this photo and asked what occasion might have brought these players together. Charlie Frank thinks it was from a Southern Christian Leadership Conference benefit game staged in March of 1970. Here’s a photo from that event. ”¦ R.A. Dickey has been wearing stirrups in Mets camp (with thanks to Terence Kearns). ”¦ Follow-up to yesterday’s note about the Colts adding a third jersey next season: A little birdie now tells me that they’ll be going with a 1954 throwback with a blue helmet. ”¦ And the news of the Packers adding a throwback next season appears to be more of a rumor (with thanks to Ray Barrington). ”¦ Two good auction finds by Bruce Menard a 1940 Philly A’s prototype and a rare 1962 A’s road cap. ”¦ You footwear geeks out there should enjoy these Utah kicking shoes that Under Armour made for the Utes’ bowl game. ”¦ And for you sneakerheads, here’s the new Nike Hyperdunk Kobe Bryant Aston Martin Edition. ”¦ “Good story out of Columbia, Missiouri, about a freshman who won the state wrestling championship and wears his uncle’s headgear from the early ’90s, inscribed with the years he himself won,” writes Allison Kleiber. “He now has permission to add his own championship year to the headgear since he won. The headgear has also been worn by his brothers in the last few years.” ”¦ Ryan Connelly notes that Alex Ovechkin has personalized hockey pants. ”¦ Check out all the cool DIY jerseys Jeff Barak has made. ”¦ Nike has found an annoying new place to put a swoosh: low on UNC baseball’s left thigh. And yes, the jersey looks like shit too (with thanks to Chris Warfford). ”¦ Check out this shot of Mark McGwire carrying Odibbe McDowell around during the 1984 Olympics. Nice striped stirrups, no? (Cool find by Larry Granillo). ”¦ The Twins have scrapped their pinstriped road pants this year, but apparently they’re still wearing them for Florida workouts. And speaking of Joe Mauer, he was catching without a helmet for part of yesterday’s drills (big thanks to Jonathon Binet). ”¦ Check out this completely awesome vintage curling sweater, complete with amazing patches. A smidge to big for me, alas (great find by Jason Bernard, who also spotted this odd Penguins jersey). ”¦ Matt Lesser sent along photos of airplanes with team liveries based on the Falcons, Colts, Ravens, Cardinals, Panthers, Eagles, and Steelers. ”¦ Hey, you want some grayhound racing silks? Okay, you probably don’t, but here’s a set of them anyway (fascinating find by Roger Faso). ”¦ I obtained Tom Dempsey’s contact info from the Saints and have sent him an e-mail asking if he could tell us more about this photo. No response yet. Meanwhile, Larry Wiederecht has posted a video in which you can see Dempsey kicking for the Eagles and using a shoe with a metal-plated toe, just like the one shown in the photo. Black shoes in the video, though, as opposed to white in the photo. ”¦ Current issue of The New Yorker has a great photo of Tommie Smith and John Carlos wearing the same gloves they wore on the medal podium in Mexico City. ”¦ Ryan Atkinson notes that Nebraska-Omaha has what might be the nation’s largest mid-court logo, stretching almost from one three-point line to the other. Interesting to see that there’s no circle in the center, too. ”¦ Here’s something really awesome: a Topps negative in mid-airbrush! (Great find by Jon Helf.) ”¦ Norway’s king (yes, they have a king) may end up wearing the crazy Norwegian curling pants (with thanks to Jim Vilk). ”¦ Maker’s Mark is putting out a special bottle honoring the 20th anniversary of the Reds’ 1990 World Series win (with thanks to Jerry Wolper). ”¦ Coupla Olympic hockey notes from Chaz Noerenberg, who got screen shots of Norway winger Mats Zuccarello Aasen’s magnificent NOB and Patrick Kane’s patriotic mouthguard.
I am sure that UNO has a circle in the middle of their court – it is an NCAA rule and they wouldn’t be allowed to play without it.
The rule doesn’t state how wide the line has to be though, and so I bet it is a “pinstripe” line that is really only able to be seen by the players on the court.
That ’62 KC hat is sweet. Love the gray and red.
“The Twins have scrapped their pinstriped road pants this year, but apparently they’re still wearing them for Florida workouts. And speaking of Joe Mauer, he was catching without a helmet for part of yesterday’s drills (big thanks to Jonathon Binet).”
Those pins don’t look grey to me, and if they are not white it seems more likely they are the new creme pins.

I love looking at uniforms and imagining what would look better. Olympic apparel is pretty hot right now. Hindsight is 20/20 but if I were to do it all over again I would definately get into the unform industry and would not have allowed some of todays current uni’s to be used. I won’t list them because there are a ton!

nice look at the Reds sleeve patches on picture 17 of the Yahoo spring training slideshow. Also, the Dodgers and Yankees looked like only half the players/coaches were wearing the new BP caps while the rest were wearing the “normal” caps.
The jackets for the dog racing are for the former race track in Portland called Multnomah Kennel Club or Murray Kemp Greyhound Park.
My grandmother used to live in the area and would bet on the dogs and the jackets were always on the programs that she would have.
Sadly, the track closed about 5 or 6 years ago. It is still standing, but only hosts a flea market.

White in shadow doesn’t go toward gray.
It goes toward light blue.
(Study thousands of photos over more years than you care to count and you learn such things. LOL)
I doubt they’ll break out the new creams in spring training. Not saying the won’t, but wearing the gray pins is a pretty good sign they’re saving the new stuff for the regular season.

I think it’s safe to assume that the Jets and Bills will probably use theirs again, since they’d been using them prior to last year as well. Beyond that, I’d say it’s rather doubtful for any of the other teams.

NFL regs require a team to have only one alternate at a time. That can be either an alternate jersey in the team’s existing color palette or a full-on throwback uniform (exceptions were made for the AFL anniversary last year so teams could do both home and road throwbacks).
Once a team adopts an alt, they have to keep it for five years. That means the Bucs, having introduced their throwback creamsicles in 2009, cannot introduce a black alt until 2014 at the earliest.
Now, what we don’t know is to what extent teams are obligated to wear their existing alternates during the 5-year period.

I believe the rule dates back to 2006, although don’t quote me on that.
The Packers’ throwbacks in 1994 and 2001 were well before then, and even the 2003 Thanksgiving throwback is outside of this window.

Wait. I could have sworn the black Philadelphia Eagles jerseys took a one year sabbatical to make way for the Angry Parakeet anniversary pastels. Which makes this either an exception, or a dimension of alternate rules we have forgotten about.

I hope so. The silver alt was the dumbest thing. Most of the Pats fans I know couldn’t even tell the difference. They said I was crazy and the lighting in the stadium was weird that day.
I think the white jersey the Colts wore in 1954 had blue Northwestern stripes on the sleeves. I hope they wear that instead of simply recyling the blue \”three-stripe\” jersey from the 1956 throwback.

Wait. I could have sworn the black Philadelphia Eagles jerseys took a one year sabbatical to make way for the Angry Parakeet anniversary pastels. Which makes this either an exception, or a dimension of alternate rules we have forgotten about.[/quote]
Maybe it was 2007? We don’t know exactly when it was enacted.
We can presume that it’s a relatively recent rule (I hadn’t heard about it until the Bucs’ change last season).

I’ll give them a pass on that one … if the entire plane resembled a helmet, I’d feel different, but since they’re obviously looking at cross marketing, the Steelers colors without the logo would only be meaningful to … well … us.
My favorite of this group is the Cardinals. All the others seem like lazy “put a couple stripes together and slap the logo on” treatments, where the Cardinals’ plane gives the illusion of an actual flying bird.

Last I recall it’s still listed as their 3rd, but they haven’t worn it in quite some time, ’06 sounds right. I know Paul mentioned it yesterday about 3rd jerseys, but I want to say there was some banter here about them bringing Pat Patriot back for good as the 3rd. Maybe a year ago?

I. Would. Wear. That. Colts. Uni! Wow, that was good.
1993 would have been a great time to unveil that look. The Colts were still somewhat new in Indy and they stunk. It wasn’t until ’95 that they had a shot at the Super Bowl. If the team never left Baltimore I’d say thanks, but no. With the team in Indy I say yes.
Well, even if they were still in Baltimore, I might say use the horsey helmet but keep the rest of the classic look.

Not complaining at all, but the finished product of that Topps Cito Gaston card link is something you wouldn’t have seen in 1979.

That’s weird. Cito Gaston retired after the 1978 season, but he still had a 1979 card? (I’m not questioning this, I just looked at the Topps list for 1979 and the card is legitimate, just a little baffled.)
And he played for the Pirates in 1978, if Topps was doing a 1979 card why did they need to airbrush a Braves photo?

And they came kinda out of nowhere in ’95.
In 1991, they had gone 1-15. In 1992, Ted Marchibroda got them to 9-7, a bit turnaround. In 1993, there was a lot of optimism, but they fell on their faces (that might have been the year Jeff George held out, didn’t say why, and was a general turd). 1994 they were fair to middling, I think, but in 1995, Jim Harbaugh led them to a bunch of comeback wins and things were really exciting. That is, in fact, when they tried out the blue pants. Really, they didn’t look as good as one might think.
I think it’s great that the Colts are honoring Baltimore with a 1954 throwback with a blue helmet.
In related news, the Ravens will be wearing the CB logo Browns helmet and uniform as a throwback this year.

I DIYed one of those 15-16 years ago. Turned out not half-bad…for a hack seamstress such as myself. Last time I checked, I think the dang red button had popped off.
’62 was only year they wore that hat.
link
On the road it (with red sleeves and stirrups) alternated with the navy home hat (with navy sleeves and stirrups).
link
Saw them play a doubleheader at the Met in ’62, especially to see them wear both versions, one in each game…and the did.
At home they wore the navy (red visor) hat all the time. Navy sleeves and stirrups one game, red sleeves and stirrups the next. No matter what anyone tries to tell you, there was NO white-crown version of that hat.
(And, yes, the John Wyatt card is from ’64. In ’63, of course, the gold and green A’s came in. That’s just an example of how less-than-fussy Topps still was at the time.)

timmy b & ricko helped provide a great colts (and saints) uni chronology bit link[/quote]
Quoting that very article: “1953 – The jerseys were rather generic; white had blue front/back numerals with blue NW sleeve stripes, while the blue jersey had white front/back numerals with white NW stripes.”
“1954 – The 1953 white jersey stayed the same, but the blue jersey had a stripe tweak to 3 even sized white stripes.”
“1955 – White jersey sleeve stripes changed to match the style on the blue jerseys.”
So there. :-) But, I will point out that the photo links in that portion of the article do not support the text, so I compared the quotes to Tim’s ‘Pro Football Uniform History’ article (link on the right, near the top) and it also says the 1954 whites had blue NW stripes and the blues had three white stripes on the sleeves.
Seeing what the Colts are doing makes me even angrier about 1994, when they “threw back” to 1958 by using their regular ’94 unis. (This was against the Steelers, who wore the 1933 throwbacks.)
andy…my bad
1953 definitely had northwest stripes on the white…but i was fairly certain the northwest stripes went out with the new blue horseshoe helmets…
now im not so certain…perhaps the change was made during the season…lotsa stuff then was done midyear

Randy Miller was one of my best friends in college. We used to stay up late talking uniforms, and before UniWatch, he and our buddy Geoff were my only outlets for this stuff.
Randy had told me about these uni’s a few times, but never brought the tape up to school, so his verbal description was all I had to go on. After all these years, I must admit I’m amazed how nice the mock-ups he sent in were. Keep in mind, he didn’t have photoshop or illustrator at his disposal.
The first year we hung out was the fall of 2000, and I remember one night we got to talking about which NFL teams needed a rebranding. Our choices… the Broncos and Bucs. I can still see Randy’s face when he came running into my room when the Broncos introduced their new look. When the Bucs followed suite a month or so later, we were pretty proud of our predictions.
Randy and I still keep in touch… and did so even before Facebook. But I must admit that we still don’t talk much about work, family, or anything else. Still mainly uniforms, and of course, the Colts. Great to see him get recognized today.
After all this reminiscing, I’m in the mood for some Tecmo SB III.
Kyle, dude, I think you mis-typed, we hung out well before 2000, like in 1995 man. By 2000 the Broncos had already won 2 superbowls in their new uniforms. Just clarifying in case someone gets confused. Thanks for the nice comments!!!
Thanks, Randy. Kinda got my high school and college graduations mixed up there for a second.
