Monday Morning Uni Watch

I have to disagree. I LOVE the Jets green pants and green jersey together. FANTASTIC.

Thank you Paul for giving the Jaguars’ uni some love! I was always curious what you thought of them and now I know.

I was watching the Friars play Miami last night on ESPN2 and noticed that one of the Miami players had his flag logo on upside-down. Anyone else pick up on this or have a screen grab?

I noticed something during the Packers-Panthers game yesterday. The Panthers jerseys are so stretched out in most cases that the shoulder stripe no longer goes over the shoulder, but now looks like it sits on the outside of the upper arm, like a link. Here’s a pic of link wearing it the way it’s supposed to be worn.

I agree with Paul that the jags have a nice looking uni. What amazes me is that despite the teal-like color and black accent, it still get’s love. This proves Paul can accept this that are outside his comfort zone.

I don’t know if it was mentioned yesterday. I was gone all weekend in MLPS watching Bucky retain the Axe from the Gophers…but I noticed Bill’s coach Dick Jauron wearing that Reebok coat with the rubber nipple on it that keeps warm air in the coat (or something like that). I remembered we talked about this coat last year when Lovie Smith wore it, so I thought it would be mentioning.

link

That Cowboys-Redskins pic was definitely in Dallas. You can clearly see the red white and blue stripes on the 20-yard line. I don’t have an explanation for the jerseys though.

Fred Taylor better hope the league doesn’t see that photo, or he’s in for a fine…

Perhaps Dallas was wearing their throwback jerseys in dark blue with the white pants?

I can’t see anything conclusive in that pic to tell me it’s in Dallas. I see alot of yellow in the background. Am I missing something?

Portugal’s soccer team also has a new kit that was unveiled in their win this weekend:
link

At a bar yesterday and the Dolphins/Eagle game was on. Noticed a player for Miami had the left sleeve of their long sleeve pass layer completly torn on the back of the tricep area… anyone else see this or have photographic evidence?

Also, maybe I’m just lost, but are these new on Romo’s helmet clipping his chin strap to the top of his helmet?
link
Looks like he didn’t have them last week against the Giants.
link

Anyone notice Lovie Smith had what looked to be a small Tampa Bay Bucs pirate ship sticker on his headset yesterday? I don’t have a pic…

Well, I will be the one who disagrees. I hate the Jags Teal jerseys. Hate em. Better than the New Orleans Hornets teal I guess if I had to say something positive.

I will agree though the Jets all green sucks hard. I don’t mind the officials pants, in part because I guess I don’t really care what they wear.

I hope the “YOU ALL JUST MINDLESSLY AGREE WITH PAUL” idiots are paying attention.

**CAUTION: Reader about to disagree with Paul**

Paul,

I just don’t understand how you can lump the link in with link. The 1990’s were a pretty good decade, but the worst part that didn’t involve a link was the influx of teams wearing link and link as their primary colors. When you add in the fact that the Jags like to go link on occasion, I further disagree with your assessment of their uniforms. The final straw, of course, is the notion of assigning the color of teal to a team called the “Jaguars.” This would be like the Toronto Blue Jays having an orange jersey (please don’t bring up the link) and the St. Louis Cardinals adopting a kelly green and gold motif.

link makes my personal hall of fame, though.

According to wikipedia, it was cowboys AT redskins…
link

Err sorry, Redskins AT cowboys because the game was played september 9th, the cowboys second game of the season.

and the score was 31-33, clearly the second game of the season played, if you go to that Wikipedia link above.

The Milard North football team (the ones with the tape around their helmets) wore a number seven on the back of their helmets in the state championship game for their quarterback who tore out his ACL in the semi-finals. If I can find a picture, I’ll post it.

Re: the Wichita Falls Irish Lads…

Since I’m working in W.Falls, I’ll go down to the museum of N.Texas History today and get some more shots of the Irish Lads, and a few other old baseball teams from a new history exhibit.

Man, wish I could hit up that seminar at BU. Sadly I’m on the other side of the state.

I’m on the wall about the new Germany shirts. They’re pretty..decent.

Those Indian alts are sweet, but would be even better if they’d lose wahoo, and adopt varsity numbers.

As for the Cowboys/’Skins game, I believe it may have had something to do with the gulf war. There was all sorts of comemorative uni switching going on at the time. I remember going to a Blackhawks/North Stars game early in the ’91-92 season where they did the same thing, with some gulf war mumbo jumbo given as the reason.

It’s one of those real uni quandaries why a team that could sport such an awesome look as link would ever want to go out on a football field looking like link

Definitely seems to be Texas Stadium–I’m guessing it was throwbacks being worn, but I’m not sure if they were wore throwbacks in 1991.

However, the pics don’t necessarily correspond with the desciptions. For example, link photo was taken at RFK, but the game being described happened at Texas Stadium.

Not really uni-related, but Boggs is one of my favorite books. Wish i could be there to see Weschler speak!

You know, I like when NFL teams wear the throwbacks – especially the Niners, but it would be nice to see teams outfitted in throwback road uniforms more often. The Niners won two Super Bowls wearing the white jerseys. Fans have strong memories of those also.

As for the link Paul posted, I’ve never noticed the color of their pants before. Is that the normal color? It has a sort of metallic orange look to it — quite different from the helmet, numbers and sock stripes.

Plus, link pic of Michael Irvin appears to be in Soldier Field.

None of this explains why the Redskins were wearing white at Texas Stadium though, unless that’s not Texas Stadium. Does anybody else have the RW&B 20-yard line stripe? Indy?

hey guys, I saw this jersey at the sports bar yesterday while I was watching that embarrassing Jets/Steelers game. I had to sneak around until I got a good angle…sorry the quality isn’t perfect

link

re: 23

This is getting stranger by the minute, for not only does it look like the Cowboys wore blue at home against the Skins in ’91, but now we see the Redskins wore Burgundy at home against the Cowboys…

dome lights seem to do that to our pants.

Perhaps the RW&B 20 yard line was from the Super Bowl played at the Metrodome…

Staubach at the helm. Could be before the ‘Skins started wearing white at home.

As a long time Redskin fan, I can tell you that the picture is not from the game described. I have it on video tape and Dallas is wearing white. As a matter of fact, the only time the Redskins have worn their white jerseys in Dallas in the last 40 years was on a Monday night in 2005. I guess SI didn’t say the picture was accurate, just the player Chip Lohmiller.

Re: Redskins photo

It could be a photo taken during Super Bowl XXVI, which the Redskins won at the HHH Metrodome.

That may be the dumbest thing anyone ever spent money on.

Could be Indy

link

There is no way that is Texas Stadium. The 20 yard line stripe used to have blue and red on each side, not alternating. I’d bet that is the Hoosier Dome.

I met to email about Tim Murphy’s NFL pullover.

I was looking at my high school alma mater’s athletics website the other day and found that the varsity football team had been selected as having the #2 football helmet design in the area by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. It’s not a long article but I thought you might enjoy it. My alma mater, All Saints’ Episcopal, is the #2 school but the online article accidentally left the name off. I’ve also included links to images of the top 3 schools’ helmets. Enjoy!

Yeah, my guess is they were wearing link, and I would almost bet it was a Thanksgiving Day game because Dallas would wear those on Thanksgiving for a while. Of course, link is of the Cowboys/Redskins 2002 Thanksgiving Day game, and this one is of the 1996 Turkey Day Classic, so now I’m stumped.

Frank

no mention of Pitt’s new gold jerseys?

Regarding the Redskins-Cowboys pic… I’d bet the ‘Boys were wearing their blue alternate/throwback jerseys for the MNF crowd.

Wow. Ugly and not even the right font. Looks like the SF Giants number font from the 80s.

The original Cowboys-Redskins game picture in todays column is from a Thanksgiving Day game on November 28,2002. On Thanksgiving Cowboys have been wearing their blue third jerseys. As a result, the visitors wear white. The one exception was the first year that the Cowboys did this was the year Dallas hosted Denver. For that game, both teams wore their ‘darks.’ In 2004, Chicago was in and they wore their orange jerseys, while Dallas wore their blue throwbacks.

You know I looked at some more of the pictures in that photo series and a bunch of the are inaccurate. Picture #8 is talking about the Monday night game that was the season opener of the 1983 season. However the photo shown is from the NFC Championship game that was held in January. Notice that Riggins has the “tucked feather” helmet which was only worn in 1982. Also the game is in broad daylight! There is another picture (#10) that shows Michael Irvin. However if you look in the background, it is fairly obvious that game is actually in Soldier Field not RFK, FedEx Field, or Texas Stadium.

The Jets didn’t retire Martin’s number (though they should have), they simply honored his career and named the team MVP award the “Curtis Martin MVP Award”

Lohmiller is kicking what’s apparently a 20 yard FG. He didn’t have a 20 yarder in the Superbowl that year.

Except Chip Lohmiller didn’t kick for the Redskins in 2002.

The high hook up chin strap that Romo is wearing has become popular this year. It is a variation of when players, or equipment managers would unscrew the snap from the helmet and drill a hole through the chin strap in order to layer them. This would result in a more sturdy connection. Check out the snaps of the Patriots tackle:
link
I suffered the effect of my top snap coming undone numerouds times in high school becasuse of wear and I can tell you it is painful to have the u bar snap down into your nose. Actually, the instance when it happened the worst was when I hit now Titans linebacker Keith Bullock on a kickoff return. The damn u-bar, or bull ring, as we all called it, put a gash in my nose.

Romo’s chin strap can be found on the Indiana helmets in the great video posted the other day!

Nice to see adidas actually switching it up from team-to-team and letting the individual sides dictate the style instead of mandating just a handful of kits as they have over the past half-dozen years or so. Germany’s new shirts look wonderful.

On the Redskins photo: for what it’s worth, the first thing I thought was that it was from the Super Bowl. Dallas didn’t have the shoulder-star throwbacks in 1991. (1994, I believe, for the 75th anni season)

OK, it is apparently the 2005 game, and the Cowboys were wearing those goofy blue alternates, as you can see link. Apparently, Troy Aikman was put in the Ring of Honor on the date of this game, and Cowboys wore their regular blue uniforms for the meeting that year in link.

Frank

Look closely at those photos. There is another one #1 that is obviously taken from the Ice Bowl. Picture #5 is wrong because that game was played late afternoon and the lights would have been on. Acutally I believe that one is from Super Bowl VII. #6 is from the 1st Washington Dallas game, not the season ending 35-34 game at Texas Stadium. Very inaccurate.

Props to link after yesterday’s MLS cup final

Regarding the Indians throwbacks – nice cap! But, when is it from? In the early 1900, the style looks consistent, but the “C” on the cap is white. In the 1930-1950, they feature a cap with a red “C” but it is a different style. More like the Reds’ “C” – are the Indians creating a throwback with an old-timey feel, rather than something that is historically accurate?

Chip Lohmiller was long gone by 2005. His last year in Washington was 1993, I believe.

[quote comment=”173145″]Lohmiller is kicking what’s apparently a 20 yard FG. He didn’t have a 20 yarder in the Superbowl that year.[/quote]

Did he kick an extra point?

I’m still going with Indy-WAS in 1990

That’s supposed “Redskins-Cowboys” picture is from Super Bowl XXVI in the Metrodome. Early on in the game they bobbled the snap of an easy field goal. That’s why there is no reference of a made field goal of that length in that Super Bowl against the Bills.

Occam’s Razor: Isn’t it possible that it’s just a photo of Chip Lohmiller kicking, and not necessarily from the game in question?

He kicked for the Redskins from 1991-1994.

…And SI does that all the time. All of the photo-galleries are basically, come up with a topic, find the best picture available related to said topic regardless of whether or not its an accurate representation of what’s being discussed.

And to follow up, the Cowboys introduced the link in 1994. They didn’t start wearing the link until 2001.

I’d just say that pic is from any random ass Redskins game in a dome with a red-white-and-blue 20-yard line strip.

Did he kick an extra point?

Uh, yeah, ignore me. :)

This article seems to suggest (Blue Monday) that the Cowboys did wear blue at home for this game. I’m still seeking a confirming picture or article, but I do remember this was their “return” to MNF and that Johnson and Jones wanted to make a splash and decided to go blue at home for prime time.

It was Blue Monday because Washington wiped their behinds! I got that game on tape and Dallas wore there normal white uniform.

Can’t believe no one else caught this, but that can’t be Texas Stadium. The number style on that field is unique and has been there since Moses and I were in grade school. Pix to follow.

That Dallas-Washington picture from 12/12/79 is wrong too. That games was played in Dallas, and the picture shows natural grass (The Redskins must have worn burgundy at home one game to explain that picture). Anyway, the Cowboys came back to win that ’79 game with 2 late touchdowns. I can remember it vividly. That Irvin picture with the Bears helmet in the background is obviously at Soldier Field. This was a very poor job collecting pictures by SI.

I am still wondering if he was wearing all of those or if they used some effects. (If they did, they went through the trouble of putting the discarded jerseys along the floor in the background).

This from the article on Indians.com

A crÃ¨me-colored tone, block “Indians” lettering on the front chest, Chief Wahoo logo on the left sleeve and dark navy blue cap with a vintage block “C” highlight the new uniform.

The block lettering harkens back to the 1960s, the coloring is similar to that of the late 1940s and the block “C” is reminiscent of the early 1900s.

I love this alternate uni. Love it. And notice that the cap is dark navy instead of the current shade.

The new hookup that Romo used this weekend is supported by “strap locks”–the small white blocks you see link. The snapholder button that comes standard on the helmet is removed and an additional hole is drilled into the shell. The white straplock has nubs on the ends that slide into the holes. The chinstrap is inserted underneath the lock and the lock is tightened down with a screw to secure the chinstrap. With standard chinstrap buttons, the snaps can come undone much more easily than with the straplocks. In our Eq Room (college) we started using the straplocks this year and it seems to help with preventing chinstraps from coming loose. link‘s a closer picture of a straplock on a helmet–far right side.

Some NFL teams have been using something similar, by screwing the chinstrap directly to the shell.

There is no way that picture of Lohmiller is in Dallas. You can tell by the numbers on the field. Dallas has a unique font. those look pretty standard. And the red on their stripe is a tad darker shade.

The Indians uniforms are pretty outstanding. If they stick with the cap (instead of the stupid script I) it might be something to wear around instead of the Chief. I’d like to support my team without having to support the Chief.

Fantastic to see this sort of thing, and here’s hoping we see them frequently.

The Raptors wore their special Italian flag inspired uniforms on Sunday.

It was some sort of Italian-recognition event.

Well, nevermind. Looked in the background of the picture and noticed that the second hat over is the script I. I thought someone had said that it was on its way out (would that!). Well, still an attractive hat design that doesn’t involve the Chief, thank goodness.

The Redskin uniform seems to be a picture from Super Bowl XXVI. The yard line in the background is painted in red, white and blue and the glare from the lights on the helmet suggests that the game was played in a dome. Super Bowl XXVI was played at the Metrodome.

To answer the Chip Lohmiller question please see comment #57 because I KNOW it is right. The red, white & blue line on the 20-yard line is for the Buffalo Bills colors. That is who the Redskins were playing in that game (Super Bowl XXVI), not the Cowboys at Texas Stadium. It was botched field goal attempt, so it probably doesn’t even show up as a missed field goal since Chip never kicked the ball.

And Steve Heiden, Browns TE wore the Schutt Ion (that the NY Giants were wearing earlier this season). Cant find pics, but it made me sit up and taken notice when i saw it.

Apparently the broadcasters made mention of it, it was because for extra protection against the hard hitting Ravens.

RE: Clevland unis…love them, simple and classy.

I am happy to announce that as of right now, we are accepting NCAA design requests for Uni Watch membership cards.

As always, no purple designs allowed. Rear-view photo is always helpful. And so on.

So is anyone else really bummed out by the fact that the Indians are keeping the script I cap?

I understand that the Chief Wahoo logo is offensive to some, but the hat is just awful, and they’re ruining their blue alternate.

Plus they changed their sleeve piping which is also a step up in my book.

Yes, burgundy and gold would have been on the other 20-yard line in Super Bowl XXVI.

RE: Steve Heiden helmet….you can see it in this picture (#82). Cant make out the funky helmet, but you can see the Schutt mounting system on the side.

Theoretically, yeah. That would be a special request that Scott would have to approve. Personally, though, I’d be fine with that.

The Germany kit picture you have is the goalkeeper jersey; the players on the field will be wearing link. I have to say that the one place where Nike-world is a model of restraint is in soccer. Nike makes some of the classiest jerseys, very restrained compared to adidas or Puma. I think the current US design is very classy.

New York Rangers uni is starting to look like old times, see link from NYDN link

Seems as if the Edge is getting a bit dull….

Everything new is old again

You’ve probably noticed that the Rangers’ sweaters – particularly the road whites – are looking more and more traditional every day. Responding to the cry from the vast majority of players and equipment managers who have lambasted the sleeker Reebok Edge jerseys introduced for this season, the NHL has allowed teams to make major alterations.

The Rangers have taken full advantage and now are wearing jerseys made largely of the old, roomier, more breathable material – with only patches of the “new” fabric on the back and under the arms. Having already hemmed the silly aprons and tails, the Rangers are almost completely back to the look that served them well for eight decades.

I have a 1991 Redskins season review video and they wore burgandy in that 1991 game at Dallas. That photo must be from another game — perhaps in the Silverdome?

Actually, more likely the photo is from that season’s Super Bowl, held was held in the Metrodome. (Likely the field stipes would’ve been red, white and blue, as seen in the picture).

Me Too! I’m going to but the new “C” hat. never liked the script “I”. too corporate.

That Redskin-Cowboy SI article is terrible, almost everything is wrong. I think most of it has been documented already, but there are pictures from Super Bowls VII and XXVI in it. There is a picture from the Ice Bowl in it. They say Riggins scored 24 touchdowns in the 1982 season, which was strike-shortened to 9 games (That would have been an extraordinary accomplishment). He set the record for touchdowns in 1983. Overall, this was very poorly done by SI.

The Redskins picture does not correspond with the right game. That picture was not taken at Texas Stadium. That must just be a file picture of Lohmiller, because Texas Stadium’s turf had more of a faded look back then. That turf is more vibrant…

Also, I personally love the black pants that the officials where…..

Does anybody know where I might be able to find a picture of the Raptors/Knicks game on November 1, 1996 when the Raps wore Huskies jerseys?

A question on Ohio State’s football unis.

Why would they change the pants and trim from metallic silver to dull, perhaps grey, but leave the helmets metallic? Makes no sense to me. One way or the other would both seem fine to me as long as they match, but having the helmets different from the pants? Ugly and stupid IMO. Cowboy fans may disagree I guess.

It takes a while to break in a pair of new pads. I’m not sure what the exact process is, but i know glove and leg pads are a bitch to break in, and goalers need to feel completely comfortable to know where they are in the crease.

Washington Post article from Sept 10 does not mention uniform color – given the history between the clubs, and how out-of-the-norm that would be, it would have been noted. Also, story line goes:
And they still won, defeating the Cowboys, 33-31, before 63,025 in a playoff-like atmosphere at Texas Stadium. Chip Lohmiller kicked four long field goals, Earnest Byner rushed for 101 yards and the Redskins controlled the ball for 22 of 30 minutes in the second half.

[quote comment=”173471″][quote comment=”173312″]I didn’t see anyone mention this, Ilya Bryzgalov, picked off the waivers by Phoenix from Anaheim, apparently either didn’t have time to pick up a pair of pads and blocker/glove in the team colours, or has these pads as his lucky pads or something, as he wore the orange and black Ducks colours in his game against the Kings

It takes awhile to break those pads in. Check out any pictures of Arturs Irbe, he never changed his pads. I would expect Bryz to be in matching pads and a new helmet in a few weeks.[/quote]

When Irbe did have new pads, he went to extremes to break them in – including having a bus drive over them. With all white pads, it would be funny to see tread marks on them whenever he broke out a new pair

Nothing teal can be considered “classic”.

Just my humble opinion.[/quote]

I’ll have to disagree. If “classic” teams had access to modern uniform production methods when they were created, I’d bet that a few of them would choose teal as a primary color.[/quote]

not all teal is good…but im kinda diggin the jags unis, after a dozen years, and i’ve always liked the panthers’ white uni scheme

as far as the words ‘classic’ and ‘teal’. if one is using classic in the sense of ‘old’ (not that old is bad), then no, teal isn’t classic

if one is using classic in the sense of ‘withstanding the test of time’ then, yeah…i’d say some teal uni’s will become (or are half way there towards becoming) classic

/almost all purple is bad…although the viking uni’s are classic[/quote]

Please the Lakers have GREAT uniforms. and they’re purple.

As for teal, it’s better than boring white and “midnight” blue like the Yankees and Penn State (the two WORST uniforms in the history of team sports)

Why would they change the pants and trim from metallic silver to dull, perhaps grey, but leave the helmets metallic? Makes no sense to me.

It’s not the university’s fault. For whatever reason, Nike can’t make their moisture wicking facric they use on football uniforms metallic. At least that was the reason given at the time of the switch.

I firmly believe the picture dated 11/28/65 is from the Ice Bowl. Look at the bunting in the background. There is snow on the sidelines, the field appears to be rock hard and the kicker looks like he is wearing mittens. I’m not totally 100% sure, but I do believe it was from the Ice Bowl.

Roy williams did not have a yellow dot on his helmet. I am from dallas and I watched the entire game with 8 other guys. one of them asked why he had a dot on his helmet, so we rewinded the tivo to take a closer look. it was a dash of yellow paint from the redskin’s facemask. jason witten had the same thing going on.

Ok. First of all, I remember watching that game (I lived in DC and it was a friends birthday). The picture is of Chip Lohmiller biffing the extra point when Jeff Rutledge mishandled the snap. The game is in Dallas – Texas Stadium’s 20 yard lines were red/white/blue until they replaced the astroturf with fieldturf.

To answer the question, I seemingly remember the ‘Boys wearing a variation of the blue with the star on the sleeves – there was a reason for blue at home, but I forget what. They wore the regular blues link.

re: the lohmiller photo.

if we subscribe to the theory that the cowboys have NEVER worn navy at home, then, i think we have to agree that the redskins photo in question has to be a stock photo of chip lohmiller. but remember, there are exceptions to every rule and unless there is photographic evidence of that exact game, then there is the possibility (be it very slight) that the boys tried their normal navy at home.

the theory that they were wearing the star uniforms or even an alternate has been tossed around as well. we must keep in mind the year of the photo, 1991. the star unis didnt make their first appearance until 95. in addition, i dont think the advent of the “alternate jersey” or “retro jersey” had come into play yet, for any sport.

Then you should remember that the Cowboys wore white jerseys. Emmitt Smith was killing Washington early, then got a stomach virus or something and had to sit out the rest of the game. I still have the game on tape.

Does this site have ANY organization regarding its posts and its topics. Worst layout Iv’e ever seen.

The Redskins-Cowboys picture at issue is of Chip Lohmiller (K) and Jeff Rutledge (holder)on the artificial surfance of the metrodome on January 26, 1992, during Super Bowl XXVI. The photo is mislabled. The Redskins did defeat the Cowboys in Dallas in the 3rd game of the ’91 season on a Lohmiller 51 yard FG, however, the ‘Skins were wearing red jerseys and white pants in that game.

I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m going to bet that’s from the Super Bowl against the Bills.

First, the picture looks like it was taken in a dome (that game was played in the HHH Metrodome)…the Redskins wore white while the Bills wore blue…and what I noticed; the 20-yard-line is red, white and blue…haven’t the Cowboys always had the 20 in navy and white? And aren’t the numbers at Texas Stadium outlined in blue as well and in a different font?

I would almost swear that this picture is from Redskins 37, Bills 24.

Plus, I saw a picture on the internet…you can barely see, behind the people, the outline of the 20-yard-line with the blue on the inside, white, red on the outside color pattern as in the Lohmiller photo. A question, however, to prove or disprove this…you’ll notice that Lohmiller has the NFL shield on the back of his helmet…had the NFL included those on helmets circa 1991?

I am a field-geek…I notice all of the small stuff no one ever cares about. For example, it’s always bugged me that “Major League” was filmed at County Stadium in Milwaukee…AND THEY EXPECT US TO JUST ACCEPT THAT?!!
