NFL
- Today’s gridiron action will feature the Green Bay Packers wearing their 1950s mono-green throwbacks against the New York Jets, who are riding a two-game win streak wearing green/white/black — which they’ll wear again today.
- Also today, the Atlanta Falcons will be (re)debuting their gorgeous throwback helmet. They’ll pair it with their black/white throwback uniform for the first time in a decade.
- Here’s an awesome set of old gumball helmets. (From Cory Estrain)
- Fun Fact: The reason that the Eagles logo is the only one in the NFL facing to the left is because it allows for a hidden “E” to be incorporated. Stare at the eagle’s neck and you’ll find an upper case E! (From Pro Football Hall of Fame)
- Oooohhh! Check out these NFL shield-style logos for all 32 teams. (From Boston Matt)
College
- Looks like FSU has an “E11A Strong” tribute ahead of their game against Clemson. (From James Gilbert). You can read more about that here.
More
- A New York State high school football team is being criticized for politicizing their 9/11 football game.
- “I saw this picture from a local high school game (Friday) night between AC Flora and Irmo High School. AC Flora is the one in the Ole Miss knockoff uniform. Irmo is the yellowjackets, but they kind of have a Steelers feel to them,” says David Staples.
Baseball
MLB
- Before they ever played a game in the Major League, the Houston Colt .45s had a player in “uniform” for what was then a post-season All Star game. (from Texas Trev)
- Josh Naylor, who goes no batting gloves all the time, had them on during last night’s Guardians/Yankees game. (From bearded golfer)

- This article (pretty poorly) attempts to grade all the new NBA uniforms.
Hockey
NHL
- We’ve been fairly certain this year’s Reverse Retro for the New York Islanders will feature their “Fisherman” crest. Here’s a “prediction” of what the jersey will look like.
- Speaking of Reverse Retros, it seems as though the Minnesota Wild’s new RR design has also leaked.
- As long as we’re on the subject: has the Florida Panthers new RR design been leaked too?
- Keeping with this theme: How about this possible leak for the Toronto Maple Leafs RR jersey?
- Perhaps this is just an indictment of the times in which we live, but now folks are surprised when an NHL team has no uni or helmet advertising. (From James Nichols)
- I’m not sure whether I love or hate this Michigan frankenjersey. (From Brayden Teeter). Actually I hate it.
- The new “digital ads” on the boards have been a bugaboo since their introduction this season. Here’s the technology, explained.

“AC Flora is the one in the Ole Miss knockoff uniform. Irmo is the yellowjackets, but they kind of have a Steelers feel to them”
These remind me of the JC Penney catalogs (RIP). Yes, they had authentic NFL shirts and jerseys, but they also had a page with shirts that were generic with a nod to certain teams. I had an aqua and orange # 22 shirt that I really liked. I have the picture around here somewhere…
I will reserve comment about NHL Reverse Retro leaks as the unveiling in Oct 20. Though I do think the Minnesota Wild would look great with this RR colour scheme for their primary uniform. The logo really pops and it is a colour scheme that belongs for Minnesota hockey.
The Ryan Day item is a repeat from yesterday’s ticker.
Good catch. Now removed.
That NFL shield logo for each team looks good… except for Green Bay and New England. Why use GBP and NEP? I’ve never seen it used that way. Also I noticed they have the football facing the other way.
They probably have to put the ball facing the other way to avoid a C&D letter.
There’s a shirt company who makes generic Cleveland sports shirts for sale in our grocery store. One of the “Browns” shirts, a generic Nick Chubb shirsey, had a similar CLE-in-shield logo above the number.
For the fun of it, I would argue that Washington’s logo is left facing. If you view it as constucted of a skinny folded plane(like a sheet of paper), it’s left facing.
Does anyone know the story on the red line, lower back of new Carp jerseys?
I think it imitates the fin on the back of a koi carp.
Is this the first time cricket has had a section of its own rather than being a ticker inclusion?
It’s had its own section since the UW reboot, but I’m not sure we’ve ever actually used it before. I am pretty sure it’s the first time I’ve ever had a cricket item since the redesign.
