Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

I'm not a huge fan of yellow jerseys. I can't think of a situation where they work except at Oregon with the matte black helmet and black pants.

I suppose I wouldn't hate it with black pants, but that's just too much yellow. And the sleeve stripes are odd looking.

Speaking of NFL unis that almost were, Ron Wolf, our old GM, said he had the paperwork and approval to change our unis to these back in the mid-90's, but he just couldn't pull the trigger on it.



He said he always thought our gold should be an actual gold. As a man who considers our current unis among the best in sports, I'm really glad he never pulled the trigger on this.

About the Bills jerseys in the OP, I like them. Much better than what they have now. The only thing is I don't care for the stripes on the shoulder too much.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

Yeah, I'd heard about that. I think I also read somewhere that their original colors were metallic gold and navy (which was kind of supported by the throwbacks they wore last year).

How is the Iconic Braves A at 17????

I'm fairly sure the only hats that outsell Atlanta are New York and Los Angelas

I don't even understand how they say the Dodgers one is "one of the most recognizable hats in the world", yet it's #7.

And that list reminded me of something I need to post here.....

The Jays went from this:

I have a few bones to pick with those rankings. A) St. Louis is much better than the Rockies. B) Surprised that the BoSix is so low. Also shocked at Cubbies. C) Agree with the Mets location, but they really really need to eliminate black from their color set. D) Disagree with Arizona's assessment. The brick red works better for them than the purple. E) WHY ARE THE INDIANS THAT LOW? The block C caps are one of the best in baseball IMO, and Chief Wahoo may be completely racially insensitive, but it's not 2nd worst in the league.

I think the NFL didn't approve or something. I don't care for it to much. Particularly the sleeve stripes and the outline names.

Turrible.

I've seen that multiple times. Still hate it.

Talk about going from first to worst.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

I definitely belong in this because Alabama's uniform in football is timeless. It hasn't seen a drastic change since leather helmets went away. We did, however, have an alternate helmet at one time...





I'm not sure what I think of it. I'd love to see us try it in a non-conference game to see what it looks like. But you can't really change one of sport's most recognizable helmets..



Our baseball uniforms are great. I love these..



And back in the 90's...we sported the Blue Jays look as our alternate..





Basketball jerseys everywhere suck. They're becoming more an under armour shirt without sleeves.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

I'm interested to see if the Marlins do anything to their jerseys next year besides changing Florida to Miami, i'm assuming they'll have to change the hat from an F to an M and idk how that looks.
