Obviously not uniform related, but I’m sure you guys’ll get a kick out of this.
Apparently stores have found a clever way to keep people in check :

Re: NHL’s next supplier
Preference: CCM
Prediction: Nike
Nightmare: Fanatics
Dark Horse: Warrior
I agree 100% with those predictions!
I really want it to be CCM.
I would like to see Nike, Bauer, CCM or Warrior, and a flat out hell no to UA and New Balance.
That score bug is awful. Does anyone know anything about the braves vs yankees game scorebug?
The Washington Capitals will be honoring Alex Ovechkin for passing Gordie Howe in career goals scored.
The’re gonna have a seet photo op available to fans and they will hand out these :

I just love the counter at the bottom! Guess it’s so you can keep up until he breaks (if he does) Gretzky’s record.
Never minded the t shirt under the jersey but the rule of it having to be the same color has gone by the wayside.
The Classic card template website in the grab bag is coming up as a suspended domain for me.
Not sure what happened there.
Iowa baseball script looks off-center. It’s a 4-letter word and they tried to lengthen it with an extra-loopy flourish at the end. They could have truncated it and moved everything to the right a hair. But bonus points for poaching the Texans’ number font.
The link in the grab bag entry doesn’t work.
