Three readers have gotten in touch over the past few days to tell me that they attended the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, which took place last weekend in Minneapolis. If you’re not familiar with this event, allow Anna Rajdl to explain:
Pond hockey is played outdoors with teams of six (four on the ice at a time) playing a condensed version of hockey. There are no goalies or nets; instead, there are small boxes on both ends with two holes. To score, you must shoot the puck into one of the two small holes. It’s pretty popular here in Minnesota, but teams from all around the country and Canada come to play in this tournament — it’s kind of like the World Series or Super Bowl of pond hockey. To add to the excitement, the average high last weekend was minus-3, so it was darn cold.
Anna took a bunch of excellent photos that capture the range of uniforms in the tourney, some of them fairly traditional, others less so. You can see the full set in this slideshow. That’s her shot at the top of today’s page, too. (The tournament’s web site has its own photo gallery, but their pics frankly aren’t as good as Anna’s.)
Jeff Barak attended the tournament, too. He didn’t take any pics (“With a wind chill of minus-19, I wasn’t about to take my gloves off to hold a metal camera”), but he did point me toward this great video clip, which nicely captures the homespun feel of the pond hockey scene. (For those who want more, there’s an additional video here, but it’s not as good.)
Also on hand was Carl Schneeman, who created this collage of photos from the tournament.
Meanwhile, I just learned that there’s another kind of pond hockey, which involves playing under the ice. The “What the fuck..?” factor is pretty much off the scale on this one, so I’ll just shut up and let you see for yourself in this video report.
Uni Watch News Ticker: We now have photos of the NBA All-Star Game uniforms, as seen here, here, here, and here. What the photos don’t show, of course, is the two-toned front/back concept that both teams will be wearing. ”¦ Holy shit. Details here (with thanks to Richard Fleck). ”¦ The Pirates have unveiled a spring training logo that looks like it was designed by a 12-year old (as spotted by Yancy Yeater). ”¦ Jeremy Brahm reports that the Dodgers and Padres will be playing some spring training games in China, which of course calls for a new logo. ”¦ Also from Jeremy: Japan’s Football (i.e., soccer) Association has just announced their new uniforms for the next two years. ”¦ The A’s have unveiled a 40th-anniversary logo (for 40 years in Oakland, that is — the franchise itself is much older than that), but my understanding is that it will not be worn as a sleeve patch. ”¦ The Rangers retired Brian Leetch’s number last night. As per standard Rangers protocol, the commemorative jersey patch for the occasion was worn on the shoulder, not on the chest. ”¦ IUPUI coach Ron Hunter, as promised, coached barefoot last night, in order to raise awareness of foot odor African poverty. ”¦ Back in November, Scott Nuzum contributed a photo of Fort Scott Community College’s very plain uniforms. Now he’s one-upped himself by sending in a photo of Fort Scott playing against Labette Community College, which wore black jerseys and white shorts. … Jeremy Brahm reports that the Orix Buffaloes are selling a baseball cap-shaped backpack.
Jeremy Brahm reports that the Orix Blue Wave are selling a baseball cap-shaped backpack.
One question, why?
Uhm, the Bradenton logo is representative of the exterior of McKechnie Field, the Buccos ST home:
link
It’s a simple design. I’m biased, but I like it.
Paul, those spring training games are going to be in China, not Japan. Only the Red Sox-A’s series is in Japan.
The Dodgers and Padres spring games are in China, not Japan.
And what’s with the NBA All-Star uniforms? Based on the drawings, there is no adidas logo, only the sublimated stripes (which don’t look that bad, honestly).
But the photos of the players have the logo up by the shoulder, with no stripes.
Which ones are they wearing?
Regarding Fort Scott’s plain jerseys, I distinctly remember TCU wearing such simple jerseys in the early 1980s. It had no name on front and was a very simple, purple and white design.
I like the pond-hockey uniforms. The creative numbering for the Pro Shop (square root of 2, 1/fast — hah!), the Subway jerseys from the old Bruins (lots of love for the black-and-gold up there in Minnesota, eh?) and the guys with the Zubaz pants and the video game character on their yellow jerseys. Totally 80s, dude!
They don’t get so creative for Gus Macker/NBA Hoop It Up basketball, nor the “over the line” softball as found in southern California. The names of the team, yes. Unies, no.
Wow – underwater hockey.
If that’s not the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen..
It is Orix Buffaloes, not Blue Wave.
It just made my day to see a whole story dedicated to Pond Hockey. Makes me want to skip out on work and go play:)

Great pictures. They remind me of a teammate in college intramurals who went by “The Great -e^(-i*pi)”, which equals 1.
The Rangers also had all the special guests in white jerseys with the #2 where the C or A would be, and the current Rangers watched the ceremony in a special Leetch Jersey that also had the #2 in the C of A spot (they wore their home blues).
Here’s pic of Adam Graves one of the special guests with the white jersey and #2 on the front:

Paul, I can’t tell by the pics but the lettering on those NBA All-Star Uni’s looks screened or heat pressed on. Can you confirm this? If they are twill letters sewn on I don’t see any of the stitching.

Those pics of the pond hockey championships are great, Anna!!!
At the Leetch ceremony last nite all the former players wore the 2006-07 Reebok authentic unis, rather than this year’s EDGE design. Not sure if I got more nostalgic for the days Leetch, Richter, Graves, and Mess or for the old uni template.

Yeah, the Orix Blue Wave merged with Kintetsu Buffaloes. Kintetsu had the fugliest professional baseball cap ever — looked like trucker hats with 80s-era NFL sewing.
One of my favorite unis from the pond hockey is the team with the old pixelated Nintendo hockey players. I loved that game as a kid. I only saw the fat one, did any of the medium and skinny guy?
Those are some fantastic and creative uniforms!

I actually really like the All-Star uniforms… well other than the damn 3 stripes down the sides which I still hold is more offensive than a swoosh.
I was a little concerned that the uniforms would just be split in half with the 2 tones. But the way they had the side panel curve and then swoop around the bottom of the shorts looks really good. I don’t know how the silver backs will look on the blue uniforms but I like the gold on the white.
The three stripes down the side were on the uniform link too. So I wouldn’t worry too much about them being integrated on the uniforms any time soon. At least I hope not… they’ve already made their way onto warm-ups with I think it bad enough.

Jon: TCU did have plain jerseys for a couple of year in the Jim Killingsworth era. They looked like somebody bought some old junior-varsity purple jerseys somewhere. I think that there had originally been some logo above them, but it had been removed.
They weren’t great jerseys, but still better than the lavender with purple pinstripes monstrosities of the early ’70s. I only wish I had a pic of those.
Did the rangers raise an cheap plastic banner for Leetch? It looks terrible.
Got a new entry into the lost officals gear: I work for the Columbus Cottonmouths (SPHL) and in last nights game against the Knoxville Ice Bears (who wore all black) one of the linesmen had his equipment lost by the airlines. He had to borrow some equipment from the head ref of the local mens hockey league. Nothing fit he guy correctly and he had a hard time just skating. No pics yet unfortunatly.

your original quote had a pic of the ranger unis, and then one of the all star unis…
so at first i was like, i’ll NEVER get either because they are made by reebok and adidas respectively.
i think there was a time when i would have gotten maybe a 1 inch by 1 inch jumpman or swoosh, but now, when it comes to tatts, i really would have to put a lot of thought into it.
The thing with the backpack was just that it was weird. I had never though of making a design of a hat like that to actually carry something that big.
I showed it to one of my Japanese friends this morning and she that it was cute (traditional Japanese response).

Yet every level of pro hockey is in the RbK Edge crap. They held off on the thirds for one reason – to sell these redesigned originals.
I guess there is enough of stock of the old non-edge uniforms so that they can build up enough for every honorary pre-game ceremony?
Or maybe they are still making them… DEATH TO THE EDGE!
I played in the Pond Hockey Championships last year and the range of unis was great but this year looked to be even better.

yes, i expect to see some of these on construction sites down here.
I think it’s logical that Stephon Marbury has his own logo; it’s his own show company. Michael Jordan, LeBron, Durant, Penny, etc. all were made by another company, who created a logo for them.
I kind of like the Starbury logo: the 3 with the added dot to create a star.
And the shoes are good too. Just as good as any Nike or Adidas I’ve worn, and MUCH less expensive.

It was my understanding there would be no math….
I know the NBA all-star game is not that important but would the silver back not resemble the white front and cause confusion during the game. I can already imagine someone giving a pass to what he thinks is one of his teammates only to hit some poor schmuk who was looking the other way in the back of the head.

Two years ago, the college renovated the football stadium complete with a new Field Turf surface and track.
Much to my chagrin, they placed a link at midfield. This link is also all over much of the link that can be purchased in the bookstore as well as the Football programs.
It annoys me to no end that an institution of higher learning which includes an in-house Graphic Design department has to KNOWINGLY do this. My sister works in the Athletic Department and I have often asked her about this. According to her, there are definite ramifications that come from the NCAA as far as liscensing in concerned! Unbelievable.
And incredibly, all of the pics of midfield have disappeared from the website!

The balls themselves are actually new (note the NOLA 2008 logos) limited editions (Melo’s is numbered 1456 of 2008). As to why they use the old style, I can only speculate. Despite the fact that they suck for actually playing basketball, the balls still have the futuristic look which was a marketing gimmick to start out with.

That’s what i was thinking too. if someone comes down with a rebound and wants to throw an outlet pass and there are two guys running the other way he’ll have to remember if the back of his jersey is gold or silver. did last years have the wordmark on the leg like the pics do? all i remember from last year was the stripes down the leg.
Just heard on DC’s ESPN radio, that the Redskins long snapper (name escapes me) was just added to the pro bowl roster……guess what number he’s wearing……#21!! Unreal, enough already. Somebody needs to wear pat tillmans uni #.

Recently I asked if segment had ever been dedicated to uniforms in movies. There was. Thank you. The reason I asked was because of an ad for some movie that just came out on dvd. I don’t recall the title. I believe it was an “outrageous” comedy. The color schemes were gnarly.
My new question is this..
Has there ever been a segment on uniforms being used in commercials?

As for the “WTF” comment, I’ve written articles on various forms of hockey seen across the world. Some of these are gaining in popularity, and others are already popular. Some are: link, link, link, and link.

He got a 10 minute misconduct for that. They explained it on the post-game show.. the rule was put in effect so that players couldn’t rip the jerseys off giving them an unfair advantage because the other guy wouldn’t have anything to hold onto.
They also said that Downie was so out of it after getting boarded earlier in the game that he came back out from the trainers room and basically just didn’t remember to strap it down.

The penatly has been in existence for years… It’s actually for the safety of both players. If you are not wearing the tie down strap, you run the risk of having the sweater pulled over your head, rendering you possibly defenseless.
If you are throwing the punches, your sweater comes off more easily, enabling your punching arm more range of motion.

can we take side bets on the answer?
here is a story from the Wagner website on their nickname:
In response to inquiries from older alumni as to the origin of the nickname “Seahawks,” the Link herewith tells the story as we got it from Ronald Reynier, originator of the name. The name grew out of a student body competition in the fall of 1947. It was felt that the nicknames often in use, “The Green Wave” and “The Hilltoppers,” were not sufficiently distinctive. Reynier was the winner of the contest with his suggestion of “Seahawk.” He tells us, first of all, that there is no such bird as a Seahawk. The origin of the name dates back to the time of the great Spanish Main. A small band of English pirates, who operated in the Caribbean Sea and attacked the large ships of the Spanish, were given the nickname of Seahawks. Taking Wagner’s location, looking out over the sea, and the small school playing many large schools in sports, it seemed that Wagner had a close analogy to the original Seahawks. The name was submitted. The student body did the rest.

Ewing’s shoes, which were very popular in the very early 90’s were made by an obscure company named Phoenix. Steve Francis has recenly signed with the chinese company ANTA, as well as Joakim Noah having signed with the French compnay LeCoqSportif, which his father Yannick endorsed during his tennic career.
The branching off of players to smaller companies is not uncommon these days. Chris Webber’s defection from Nike to DaDA as well as the AND1 mass exodus were big news in the sneakerworld.
Another major coup by a once proud but fading company was the 2003 NBA Draft. Converse, had been bought by Nike and proceeded to sign, D.Wade, Kirk Hinrich, Jameer Nelson, Mike Sweetney, and Chris Bosh, all of whom played for Nike endorsed colleges.
This was interesting: saw the highlights of the IUPUI-Oakland game on SportsCenter (the one where Ron Hunter coached barefoot), and noticed that Oakland is one of the schools wearing Nike’s System of Dress.
Interesting that a small mid-major would be in on something like this, with schools like Syracuse, Texas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Florida, and so on.

Does anyone remember when Patrick Ewing had his own shoe?? I think he was with link first, then link his link
And take a look at the link…..[/quote]
Ewing’s shoes, which were very popular in the very early 90’s were made by an obscure company named Phoenix. Steve Francis has recenly signed with the chinese company ANTA, as well as Joakim Noah having signed with the French compnay LeCoqSportif, which his father Yannick endorsed during his tennic career.
The branching off of players to smaller companies is not uncommon these days. Chris Webber’s defection from Nike to DaDA as well as the AND1 mass exodus were big news in the sneakerworld.
Another major coup by a once proud but fading company was the 2003 NBA Draft. Converse, had been bought by Nike and proceeded to sign, D.Wade, Kirk Hinrich, Jameer Nelson, Mike Sweetney, and Chris Bosh, all of whom played for Nike endorsed colleges.[/quote]
Steve Francis and Joakim Noah are big news??? I’m sure they signed with the only companys that would sign them.

Albright Added to Pro Bowl
Ethan Albright, the Redskins’ long snapper, has been added to the NFC Pro Bowl squad, joining teammates Chris Cooley and Chris Samuels.
Like them, he’ll wear a No. 21 jersey in the Feb. 10 game in Hawaii. All three jerseys will be sold on nflauction.nfl.com, with proceeds going to the Sean Taylor Memorial Trust Fund for the benefit of his daughter, Jackie.
Hunter’s goal was to collect like 40,000 shoes. He ended up with like 110,000 shoes! Amazing!

Other guys have their own logo, like Jordan and LeBron, and there is Tiger Woods, and also Poker Pro Phil Hellmuth (with a completely dorky, ridiculous player logo). But there are probably alot more. Does anyone follow this?

I strongly dislike the enormous jerseys in the style ike Mayo wears. Case in Point, when the Lakers wore their short shorts it would not have looked at awsful had their jerseys been more form fitting. Lamar Odom and KObe looked ridiculous. For that reason alone, I think that the SOD jerseys are an improvement. As for the shorts, they should be much shorter. At least at the knee!

No. They are doing that on all their available unis this year, and as we all know, that “C” is for 100 NCAA titles.
That green dot on the back of the quarterback’s helmet means he has a radio inside to get the plays from his coach.
And that will be enough for today for the nOObs who fail at asking those same questions ad nauseum.

And a PS to Borg: during that period, Guillermo Vilas had HIS own Fila line- very cool. You’ll see ‘vilas’ on his shorts here:

At some point he added on an initial logo next to the Fila F..like the Bj logo next to the F for Borg. It was an G jammed inside a V.
As fas as Lendl, he had his signature printed on the shorts of his argyle Adidas line..he had a shirt one year with a huge IL as a graphic..
