On the marlins jersey, you can also see that they put a piece of tape over the majestic logo on the sleeve.
…you beat me to it. Nice try guys
Another on the Marlins: That has to be an old hat, too. There’s no raised embroidery, the hat itself looks like it’s wool, and it also looks used. Probably something they had on display somewhere or an old game-used model.
Marlins & Diamondbacks both should go back to their late 90s, early 00s. Uniforms.
For the Marlins just change the F on the hat to an M and put Marlins on the grey away rather than Florida. white/grey/black/teal set of 4.
For the D-backs, the set they had around the 2001 World Series, so the second iteration of the white pinstripe with the teal & purple A on the chest, not the first 1998 version.
Thank you for the mention of Appalachian FC…aka home of the greatest crest in US Soccer. :)
Asking again since no one answered yesterday… Site question – will the pop up ad for UW+ exist forever or is there a plan to stop at some point?
While there is no specific plan for when the UW+ solicitation will end, I imagine it will be swapped out, or at least adjusted, at some point.
If the pop-up troubles you, there’s a simple way to avoid it: Sign up for UW+.
yeah…sign up for UW+
I can only assume that one of the benefits of UW+ is not having that pop-up
The Super Bowl’s Roman numeral affectation is way past its sell-by date. I suspect almost everybody is like me. Every time you see one of these strings of letters, you glide right over them without bothering to calculate the number and just keep reading.
I really thought when they got to and used Super Bowl 50, it would be numbers from then on out.
I was wrong. Again!
I have no particular feeling one way or another. Sort of annoying when trying to locate a particular game, but otherwise pretty benign.

Interesting, Vegas gets to host the last super bowl for a long time that have the Roman numerals “LV”
Great point!
The Super Bowl venue video has a couple of issues
-Stock pictures of the facilities not representative of the stadium on the day of the game (although the same YouTuber does have another video showing all SB Field designs)
-Incorrect Helmets. Shows Broncos Bucking Horse D helmet for Super Bowls 32, 33, 48 and 50. Shows LA Rams old style Horns for Super Bowl 56. Uses Patriots Flying Elvis helmet for Super Bowl 20. Bills helmets are shown as White for all their SB’s, should be Red. Anachronistic Chargers helmet for 29. Eagles Helmets for 52 and 57 shown in Kelly Green.
