Cowboys, I am not pleased with the uni combo decision. This is a playoff game. Leave the unusual combos for the regular season. Want the Cowboys to go blue over silver.
While not their best look, the Cowboys have not lost a road game when they have worn this pairing.
Hate the white pants. Wish they’d get rid of them. Thanks a lot, Dez and Nike. Stupid color rush.
The item on the Jets appears to be about the Winnipeg hockey team
I always assumed the Sharks logo implied the Penguin was eaten. I wonder if anyone with San Jose can confirm this to be true… -C.
Hahaha that’s a good one!
Just when the NFL sets the standard for horrible uniforms, Michigan State says “Hold my beer.”
Why would Arizona get rid of the peyote coyote unis? They are truly unique and just scream (howl?) Arizona to me. It’s one of my favorite sweaters of all time! The previous set was so bland and generic. Now it looks like they’re going to something boring again. I guess I should withhold judgement until the new threads are revealed.
The reason why the Winnipeg (not New York) Jets don’t want sand in the locker room is that it’s really bad for your skates. Still pretty unusual though!
The Atlantic League is adding a currently unnamed team, in Frederick, Md.
Uh, the Frederick Flintstones?
