Those new Dortmund kits make me want to pick up an Aubameyang one. Almost.

I'll give the non-authentic sites a few weeks to get their **** together, then I'm getting me one of those yellow ones with Reus's name on it.

I'd wait until after the transfer window to do that.

It's Dortmund, nobody is safe.

I could get Reus, Hummels, Aubameyang, whatever. I'm sure they'll all end up at Bayern someday anyway.

We have an NBA bonanza.

These will be worn:


The Celtics have switched to putting BOSTON on their road unis.


The Lakers' HOLLLLLLYWOOD NIGHTS uniforms will be sleeved.


Hispanic Heritage escapes the sleeved devil.


And finally, if your team has ever won a championship in the NBA, congratulations. You get a fancy gold thinger on the back of your collar.

Hmm, shows how much I follow the NBA. I thought the Kings colors were purple and black.

'Goes to wikipedia'

Wait, their colors ARE purple and black (and silver and white) Is that for some special event or a throwback or what?

Had you been on Wikipedia a little longer, you would've noticed that the Sacramento Kings started as the Rochester Royals.

Not always, sir.





Also it does say Rochester on the front of it.

I know this gets harped on every year, but you guys do realize that they don't change proper names for these teams in publications either, right?

That's completely different. That's the media reporting the game and being correct. You can have your jersey say "Toros" for one night when you're honoring Hispanics and still be called "Bulls".

It's no different than, say, the Nationals wearing Negro League throwbacks that say "Senators" on the jersey.

Actually it isn't different. That's how the media and people from those countries will refer to them when they talk about them. They don't switch the name to their language because they are proper nouns. We don't call UNM "Los Lobos" or UCSB "Los Gauchos," and we don't switch them to the Wolves and the Cowboys. They're just the Lobos and the Gauchos.

Now can you switch it? Sure. But that doesn't make it any more honorable or correct. You could argue that it makes it more fun though.

Think about it, you don't say Royal Madrid, you say Real Madrid.

Lille has seemed to have pretty solid kits the last few years.
