    “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.

    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.

    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.
