Thanks for posting that link. Great story.

Bryan will take on Paul in the Feats of Strength later on…

Meantime, if you happen to watch Brain Boitano’s skating spectacular at the Your Telephone Company Name Here Park on NBC later today (I just saw a glimpse on style today), look for four male skaters weaing Giants replica uniforms – with NOBs and non-trimmed pants going ankle length sans stirrups – as well as a bad drag attempt.

Nice link about the Boston Uni Watch gathering.

Another good link discussing some high school uniforms.

Maybe they themed their uni’s around the practice jerseys they had to wear for that one game last year.

Thanks, I kinda figured this had been discussed and probably beaten to death, just wasn’t sure exactly when. I’ll snoop around the archives.

[quote comment=”191345″][quote comment=”191343″]I’m sure this has been addressed, but I noticed the other day on the Uni-ticket mentioning Clarence Weather’s helmet, his full first name of “link” was on his jersey. Interesting, but not unique.

I remember Stephret Williams of the Cowboys having his complete first name on the jersey, are there many others?[/quote]
Jack and Jim Youngblood, LA Rams
Ricky Williams, NO Saints
Andre/Andra Davis, Cleveland Browns
Rich Sutter, St. Louis Blues
etc.
Check the archives for more examples. We’ve spent days discussing this.[/quote]

Another indication that the Vikings weren’t completely on-board with the all-purple look of the Bears game: this, from the St. Paul Pioneer-Press:

link

Before the Chicago Bears game last week, Vikings players were asked whether they approved of the team’s new all-purple pants and jersey “grape” look. Linebacker Ben Leber was among those who raised his hand in disapproval.

“We won, but I still don’t care for it,” he said.

Keyshawn Johnson mentioned today that Bill Parcells changed the Jets Jersey immediately upon arriving with the team in ’96 as part of his strategy to remake the team to his plan. Are there other examples of such an immediate change being made due to a change in management?

amad bradshaw for the Giants is missing the “n” from his ny logo on his helmet at about the 10 minute mark in the third.

Does anyone out there know why Adrian Peterson always has a dark looking substance on his jersey? I don’t see any of the other vikings with this substance…any ideas what it might be?

Here’s a pic

[quote comment=”191392″]I’m watching the Browns-Bengals game and just noticed Jamal Lewis has something in the ear holes of his helmet. I’m guessing its something to help counteract the wind blowing threw his helmet as there are strong winds in Cincy today.[/quote]

Probably tape, for exactly the reason you said. It really helps a lot, I always did that when it got cold.

here are a few more examples of the AP gunk on the jersey number…i thought at first it might be blood or helmet marks but it is on there early in the game too.

The “n” on the NY Giants Bradshaw just fell off. the Y and its extended tail is still on

[quote comment=”191412″]The “n” on the NY Giants Bradshaw just fell off. the Y and its extended tail is still on[/quote]

Naw, Its been missing since at least the 3rd quarter when I noticed it. Sorry, no pic. Also, it looks like some of the Bills had the big red side stripe cut down. If someone can get a pic of Edwards jersey vs. Lynch’s jersey. Lynch’s actually looked really good (never thought i would say that) because it was the same size as the red stripe on his pants. Maybe something they should all consider but i assume its a fit issue.

Just sent Paul a pic of Ahmad Bradshaw’s helmet decal mishap.

How do the Lakers get away with wearing their Home yellow jerseys on the road against the Knicks?

Has anyone else noticed that the Jets have a small number to identify helmets on the rear bumper of their helmets?

It’s barely visible on Hobson in link

[In 1999, the link hired] Jerry Glanville, whose eccentric personality gave the Falcons another piece of identity. Coinciding with Glanville’s hiring and his “Man in black” image, the Falcons altered their uniforms from their traditional red jersey/red helmet uniform to an all-black motif which would remain in place until 2003.

Beating #23 is a big deal when your alma mater had never beaten a top-25 team before!

That picture doesn’t really capture how bad the OU jerseys are. Because of the name being under the number, the numbers are about the size of a normal team’s front numbers, and they appear to be between the players’ shoulder blades.

Don’t you mean “1989” (or even 1990) for the Falcons hiring Glanville? The Oilers fired him after they lost to the Steelers in the AFC Wild Card game following the ’89 season, and he was with Atlanta the next year.

My thoughts are that the Lakers only had a home set of throwback unis made and since they are not white like most teams home uniforms, they can wear them on the road. I personally would like to see a throwback purple uniform. (sorry PL)

Sorry link is a link to the look I want to see.

Regarding Adrian Peterson’s jersey gunk.

It’s been on there for a while so I think it’s glue that came of the packaging and it gathed various junk quite quickly. This happened with my authentic Adelious(sp??) Thomas jersey. A small bit of glue is on the back number 6 and it picked up a lot of crap but it’s so small it’s barely noticeable. I might post a pic later.

Just a guess.

This isn’t uni-related…but it has come very close to hitting someone due to a malfunction during a seahawks game it almost hit hasselbeck…and ended up being moved off the field and hung (for a while) very low over the teams bench. Of course, all the players decided to give it plenty of space…

I’m a current Oakland University student and must say with the skin tight jerseys the basketball team has been wearing this year, I’m very grateful that their 300 lbs center on last seasons’ team graduated. I’m glad I don’t get to see every roll on his body.

Does anyone remember this? I can’t find any pics but it was awesome!

System of Dress is like the Oregon diamond plate football unis: they look at least decent on players with a typical athletic body (QB’s, receivers, point guards) but downright autrocious on anyone with bulk.

Haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but Adrian Peterson was one of several Bears who’s wishbone “C” helmet decal ripped… Or broke… Or whatever that would be called… There was a good shot of it right after he ran for his TD at the end of the 2nd half when he was on the sideline, if anybody is bored enough to get a screen-grab of it
