Wrigley Redux

DSCN0218_001.jpg

I know for a fact that several MLB broadcasters read Uni Watch. One of them, who I won’t name here, occasionally trades e-mails with me during games. To my knowledge, however, neither my ESPN column nor this site has ever been mentioned during an MLB broadcast.

Until yesterday, that is. Apparently someone informed Cubbies play-by-play man Len Kasper (that’s him on the left in the photo shown above) that I’d run a transcript of his recent uni-centric banter with color man Bob Brenly (on the right), and at least one of them was rather amused by the whole thing. Here’s how it went down during the bottom of the 6th in yesterday’s Cubs/Astros game:

Kasper: Hey, Bob, we have a follow-up from our weekend conversation about Doug Mientkiewicz and his uniform, and the buttons. The Astros have the same setup as the Pirates, and pretty much every team in baseball. You see how it’s unevenly spaced — they have the two buttons at the top, but then they leave space for the “Houston.” That’s called pro buttoning — there’s actually a name for it. The folks at UniWatchBlog.com put up a transcript of our conversation”¦

Brenly [chuckling]: Oh, geez”¦

Kasper: ”¦ about Doug Mientkiewicz. So that’s the pro button style. And the Cubs’ home pinstripes, and the blue alternate tops, which they are wearing [today], are the only ones in baseball that are not of the pro button style. You see, it’s evenly spaced, because they don’t have a team name across the middle. There was a big article on ESPN.com about uniform styles back in late May. So thanks to the folks at UniWatchBlog.com for noticing. I didn’t know that, that it had a name — pro button.

Brenly [sounding mildly impatient with the topic]: Why should you know that?

Kasper: And what can happen with the pro button style is billowing, meaning the uniform goes out a little bit because there’s a big space between the second and third buttons. I don’t know if billowing was a problem for you when you played, but it’s an epidemic around the game today.

Brenly [very sarcastically]: Oh, what are we gonna do? [Camera shows close-up of Astros jersey.]

Kasper: Now, they — do they have a little Velcro in there, keeping the “Houston” together? Some teams have that, too. [Hitter strikes out, briefly necessitating some actual game commentary.] Called strike three. [Now back to important matters.] There’s all kinds of stuff like this on the internet.

Brenly [with an exasperated chuckle of barely concealed disgust]: Okay.

Kasper [on a roll now]: Everything you need to know about baseball uniforms. The Phillies had the zippers, right? [Director inexplicably chooses to show a dachsund outside the stadium.] That dog’s not that interested.

Brenly [with an air of what he clearly hopes will be finality]: All I know is I was happy every day I got to the ballpark and there was one hanging in my locker. They could’ve taken all the buttons off of it. Could’ve had one big button right in the middle, I didn’t care, as long as there was one hanging in my locker.

Kasper [apparently skimming through the aforementioned ESPN column]: I guess the Washington Nationals’ red alternate uniforms also do not have the pro button style. So we’ll have to ask Doug Mientkiewicz if he’s a fan of that particular style.

—————

And that’s where that particular bit of discourse ended. The funny thing is, Brenly’s the one who first brought up Mienkiewicz’s buttons last weekend, and he’s also the one who suggested that the Pirates’ jerseys could use some Velcro. But I guess he just wasn’t in the mood yesterday.

Anyway: I assume someone will bring today’s entry to Kasper’s attention. So hey, Len, get in touch — I’ve got a Uni Watch membership card with your name on it. And there’s one for you too, Bob, but only if you stop being so uni-grouchy.

Raffle Reminder: Remember, there’s soccer raffle currently underway. If you haven’t already entered, look here.

Uni Watch News Ticker: Looks like the new OKC team’s new name is out of the bag. ”¦ The USA women’s soccer team usually wears the national soccer crest on their chest (here’s a clearer view) and shorts. But in yesterday’s Olympic opener against Norway, they were crest-free on both their jerseys and shorts, so the only visible mark on the uniforms was, well, guess. ”¦ The 2008 World Series logo and 2009 All-Star Game logo have been released. The ASG design clearly wins, since it has two “TM” marks and two circle-R marks (plus a sternum-level Majestic logo if you want a T-shirt), while the World Series logo has two circle-Rs but only one TM. So the ASG legal team wins home-field advantage in this year’s “Whose Lawyers Are Bigger Douchebags?” sweepstakes. ”¦ While we’re at it, Ryan C. Johnston was at Busch Stadium the day the ASG logo was unveiled and took some pics of the ceremonies, which I’ve gathered into this slideshow. Seems like a bit much for a logo for an exhibition game, no? ”¦ Tom Shieber notes that Robinson Cano’s memorial armband for Bobby Murcer was missing on Monday night. ”¦ Shieber also reports that he’s made a change to the “Dressed to the Nines” exhibit: “On the section devoted to ‘Names and Numbers,’ I’ve changed the table detailing retired numbers to include (as best as I can determine) the exact date when each number was retired. There are still a few question marks and entries in which the date is ‘unknown,’ but happily I’ve managed to track down the vast majority. Additions, corrections, suggestions are most welcome.” ”¦ Did the Durham Bulls once wear satin jerseys or BP tops? To see why I ask, look here and here (with thanks to Jay Sandora). ”¦ In addition to those new Syracuse jerseys, there will also be a new helmet, with white outlining on the “S” and the return of the white center stripe. Good analysis of the school’s overall changes here. ”¦ Interesting note from decal guru Chris Willis regarding the thin plastic film on this helmet: “There’s actually a decal across the front of the helmet that works the same way the plastic on a new phone/ipod/electronics item does. It’s called a Gouge-Gard, and it’s marketed by Creative Football Concepts out of New Jersey. It’s a clear decal that’s cut so that it will conform to the shape of the helmet and it is used mostly for training camp and preseason to protect the front of the helmet from getting gouged up too quickly, especially if it’s a painted helmet. The equipment guys have enough to do during camp.” ”¦ According to this page, there are rumors (and I stress that there’s nothing more solid than that) that Nike wants USC to wear black jerseys against Ohio State (with thanks to Glenn Tanner). ”¦ “At first glance,” says Greg Riffenburgh, “this Adidas template doesn’t look so bad. A little weird, maybe, but there have definitely been worse. Then I saw this. And this.” ”¦ Reprinted from yesterday’s comments: Jaw-droppingly great photo of Paul Hornung. ”¦ Another great old Otis Shepard program cover for the Cubs here (with thanks to Andrew Tanker). ”¦ I’m all in favor of high cuffs, but not if they’re so high that your stirrups’ laundry tag is exposed. ”¦ Good article here about Michigan’s transition from Nike to Adidas (with thanks to Greg DiLeo). ”¦ Here’s something you don’t often see: a gallery of Nebraska media guides from 1964-1990 (nice find by Brian Hansen). ”¦ The WHA’s Chicago Cougars’ home jersey looked like this, but for years Matt Mallonee thought it looked like this (closer views here and here). Here’s why: “This sweater has been in my family for quite some time, first with my uncle then my dad. My dad said they used to go to games at the old Barn when he was a kid, and at some point they bought this sweater. He was sure it was what the players wore, and I had no reason to doubt him. However, one day I got curious and looked the Cougars up. Well, he was only 11 or 12 at the time, so I can forgive him. In actuality, the cougar on the sweater is wearing the team’s actual design!” Man, that is a fantastic design. Anyone know more about this item? ”¦ The Reebok logo on the Steelers’ pants has always looked like this, but Brinke Guthrie notes that it now apparently looks like this, which is not what I’d call an improvement, unless you’re a Reebok shareholder. ”¦ Michigan State has added a pants stripe. ”¦ Who knew Rudy Giuliani played hockey? ”¦ As most of you know, I tend to prefer fun logo mascots over snarly ones. But not everyone agrees (with thanks to Matt Monsour). ”¦ Check out this shot of Nolan Ryan. He always batted right-handed, so why is he wearing a lefty batting helmet in that photo? Maybe it’s a double-flapper? … FNOB alert from Matt Englander: “Matt Elliott had FNOB as a member of the Michigan Wolverines in the early ’90s (that shot is from the 1990 UM vs. OSU game). I am guessing he had to do so because Jumbo Elliott was also on the squad at that time. He was later selected at the very end of the 1992 NFL draft, a true Mr. Irrelevant who achieved relevancy by wearing his entire name on the back of his jersey.” ”¦ Remember that “10 Worst Philly Uniforms” list? Here’s its 10 best counterpart (with thanks to Pete Salveson). ”¦ Amusing Yet Appalling Dept.: Here’s a story about a guy obsessed with finding a “Patriots 19-0” T-shirt (with thanks to Daniel Ostroff-Moskowitz). ”¦ Rare non-Wisconsin-related report from Nicole Haase, who writes: “So I’m watching Project Runway tonight, and the challenge is to create an outfit for the team to wear for the opening ceremony. They go to a place called the Armory and meet with Apolo Anton Ohno, who’s tells them this is the challenge and then invites them to go look at a museum there that has a history of Americans in the Olympics. Looks like your kind of place — the little that they showed in the episode made me want to go there, like, NOW. I actually turned on my laptop just to send this to you, so I did a quick google search and didn’t come up with anything, but hopefully you know what this place is, because if you haven’t been there, it seems to me you have to go. And hopefully they have maybe this new place (which is right here in NYC, but I haven’t gotten around to checking it out yet)? … “I’ve always been a big hat collector,” writes Tim Stoops. “Imagine the tribbles in Star Trek, only with hats, and you have my room. So in March I started taking daily pictures of each one and posting them on Flickr. I’m up 147.” … Nevada’s helmets have apparently changed from this to this. I assume there’s a corresponding uniform change, but I haven’t seen pics of that yet (with thanks to Mike Etheridge). … There are two new books about branding that tie in with a lot of my gripes about logo creep. The first is Steve Heller’s Iron Fists: Branding in the 20th-Century Totalitarian State, which finds parallels between Hitler’s, Mao’s, Mussolini’s, and Stalin’s propaganda machines and modern marketing/branding applications (and no, I’m not comparing Phil Knight to Hitler, so calm down). I just got a copy of this and hope to write about it soon, but for now there’s an insightful review and some great artwork here. The second book is Lucas Conley’s OBD: Obsessive Branding Disorder. Lots of reviews here, and you can see Conley doing a good interview with Stephen Colbert below (with thanks to Joe Alviani for tipping me wise to the video clip):

    Tons of uni goodness…. well excpet for the STL unis. LOVE the old school Oilers and Kings unis. Still looking for a Black and Gray Kings jersey for myself…

    Now that Oklahoma City is now the Thunder, what are the Golden State Warriors going to do? Thunderbolts are a large part of their logos. Even their mascot is named Thunder. Let’s hope that they go back to their old logos.

    link

    I heard the Cubs game, weird because Brenley is usually the most unicentric of the two. He babbles on quite a bit about uniforms, sunglasses and other accessories.

    ON ANOTHER NOTE: I am one of those insane soccer fans who awoke at 5 a.m. eastern time to watch the US play Japan in the Olympics. BRIAN MCBRIDE had uni issues. He wore No. 17 but the “1” on the front of his jersey came off in the first half. They fixed it at half time….but it came off again. Anyone get a screen grab?

    That Bennett guy. First he steals a team, then he steals a brand.

    Note to Jets: Please, please, please do NOT wear the green & green combo. Really have no desire to see what Brett Favre looked like if he’d played in the early 60’s CFL, the Arena league or for some rural, backwater high school without the manpower or budget to keep white pants clean.

    Syracuse finally got the football uniforms right (the on field performance is another story). Now stop tinkering with it! Go work on making the basketball uniforms respectable again.

    Addendum: In fact, don’t wear the green pants at all. Because they look exaclty as I’ve mentioned above. Very bush league, especially when your current uni is the one you wore winning arguably the most famous and significant Super Bowl game ever played.

    All that being said…Man, between the Jets and the Giants it should be fun pro football season for New York fans. Enjoy.

    Brenley probably came here and saw that he got zinged for wearing a yellow shirt under the Cubs powder blues.

    Or, he’s doing the typical macho jock thing: If I notice something about unis it’s okay. If you do, you’re weird.

    As a little bit more inside of me dies knowing that Brett Favre will be now known as “Broadway Brett”, I can’t help but kind of want to get a green and white Favre jersey… oh wait…=)

    I am now officially a Packers fan first, but a Jets fan second. Hey New York fans… please treat Brett well.

    The “place called the Armory” is the 168th Street Armory. It is one of the best indoor track facilities and hosts hundreds of high school and college races a year.

    The museum there is the national track hall of fame. link

    I was watching the U.S. Men’s Olympic Soccer team this morning, and they were missing the crest as well…what gives?

    Also, Brian McBride appeared to have lost the 1 from his #17 on the front of his jersey at some point.

    Sorry no screen shots…

    Maybe it’s an Umbro thing, but the numbers and lettering on Norway’s soccer uniforms are the same as the previous version of those from England’s National team.

    The Red Wings website has Both Maltby and Hossa wearing #18.

    However this shows he’s taking his #18 and switching it to an 81.

    ….and as of 8 am EDT, link is totally non-responsive. It seems people will do anything to see a J-E-T-S Favre #4, even if it is just a replica. Apparently, the site had it up for sale by midnight last night.

    Gretzky retrospectives never include photos of him in Indianpolis Racers uni (WHA), which was his first pro team. We can argue about status of WHA, but it WAS his first team.

    Come to think of it, I’ve never SEEN photos of him as a Racer. ANYONE ever see one?

    Or making the football TEAM respectable again.

    I got home from work yesterday afternoon right as the 6th inning was finishing up and I just missed it. Awesome to get the transcript!

    Anyways, in case anybody wants to e-mail Len and Bob and give them an attaboy for plug, here’s their address: link

    I was literally ROTFL watching the Lucas Conley segment at home the other night. His arguments remind me of the Bill Hicks routine about marketing & advertising. I may have to go to Borders to read OBD.

    We’ll return to the comments, after these messages from the Reggie candy bar and Jaromir Jagr peanut butter!

    Is it me, or is there a tube coming out of the top button hole on link?

    If that’s the case, what is the reasoning for it?

    [quote comment=”283714″]Is it me, or is there a tube coming out of the top button hole on link?

    It looks like it may be a pair of sunglasses being held up by the button hole. The glasses look to be under the jersey.

    As a ‘Cuse student, I’m glad to see that the team has decided to stop looking like a joke (even if it still performs like one on the field). The re-addition of the white brings us back to the good ol’ days of Donovan McNabb.
    As far as the basketball jerseys go, nothing can top the ones we wore back in 2003 when we had Carmelo. The SOD unis have got to go.

    Did anyone watching the Cards – Dodgers game last notice Cards outfielder Skip Shumaker’s batting helmet toward the end of the game? It was hard to tell if it was a shadow but it sure looked like the bill of his helmet had a large crack in his last two at-bats. Anyone else notice this?

    I live in Chicago, but am not a Cubs (or Sox) fan. However, I will watch Cubs games much more than Sox (or even national ESPN and TBS) because of Len Kasper. I think he’s a smart, funny, interesting announcer, much in the mold of the late Skip Carey (although not as sardonic).

    He really is one of the more underrated play-by-play announcers in the league.

    [quote comment=”283700″]photoshops of brett
    link

    But you’ll notice whoever did the photoshop wasn’t smart enough to remove the Lambeau Field patch from Brett’s left shoulder.

    The US Men had no crest as well. Japan had the ol’ Rising Sun, not the Japan Football Association logo. I believe it is an Olympic rule.

    Mentioned above, and I posted in a 2 day old thread about it, but Brian McBride went from 17 to 7 at least for a short while last night, no good photos though.

    Also on the Brett jersey front – lots of possible Favre misspellings reported in the local paper:

    For sale in New York: Favre everything

    Sports memorabilia sellers were up in the wee hours making hay of Brett Favre’s trade to the New York Jets.

    On ebay, one seller is offering a “FARVE NYJ” New York license plate – complete with misspelling.

    Someone else is trying to get $3,000 for brettfarve.nyjets.com.

    Yes, the seller botched the spelling of that one, too.

    A generous sports fan is offering to sell a used No. 4. jersey for former Jets quarterback Glenn Foley. The seller notes the buyer can switch the nameplate on the back “and you would have a $175 jersey at a much more modest price.”

    In the New York area, fans are sure to fork over money for Favre jerseys, gear and other collectibles, as soon as fans figure out who he is.

    An employee at Modell’s Sporting Goods location in Brooklyn hadn’t been clued in yet.

    “What’s the name?” she said, when asked whether Favre jerseys were available.

    Then, “What team does he play for?”

    At least the employees have heard of Favre at the company’s store in Newark, NJ.

    Assistant store manager Sammy Gonzalez said just before the store opened today that he’s already received a few phone calls seeking Favre jerseys.

    Modell’s Web site is already advertising Favre jerseys in Jets green for $80, though the pictures are generic – no number 4.

    And those jerseys for sure-to-be outgoing quarterback Chad Pennington?

    “We’re getting ready to do a bunch of price changes,” Gonzalez said.

    I am pretty sure that the picture labeled Nolan Ryan is actually of Terry Puhl. The baseball pictures are great!! But sometimes the labels do not jive.

    Here’s the thing, though. Argentina, Brazil, and even freakin’ HONDURAS have their Federation crests on their uniforms. Not the United States. Not Italy. Not even Sepp Blatter’s Germany.

    I think there’s more to this story. It can’t be an “IOC rule” that keeps a Federation logo off a uniform. What would that do for ice hockey, for example? Would the United States have to remove the flying USA off their jersey?

    This should be receiving as much blog coverage as Obama and his USA flag pin! Where are the neocon babblers when you need them the most? Oh, right … they’re working on Paris Hilton.

    As a lifelong Packers fan in New York, I’ll do my part.

    I think what we saw on the South American teams were generic crests, all I have to double check though.

    One other Uni-Tid Bit from the US/Japan game: Marvell Wynne had his Jersey ripped around the 30th minute. If you want to see Brian McBride with just the 7 on the front of his shirt, watch the replay on nbcolympics.com, it happens in the 37th minute.

    I’m not trying to complain or anything, just curious: I posted that transcript in the Ricko Files 5 thread last night, and I see this morning that it got deleted. Did I violate some rule by doing that? :)

    None of the Olympic soccer teams have their country’s soccer federation logo on their shirts.

    The US Soccer crest is still on the US jersey though, it’s at the bottom of the back numbers.

    Actually, for reasons I’m not sure of, your transcript post got waylaid by the auto-moderator and was never posted to the full site (you could see it, but nobody else could).

    He and Messier are wearing two different jerseys in terms of the manufacturer. The necklines are completely different, making me think that one is a Starter jersey, and the other is a CCM jersey. Gretzky wore Starter jerseys in New York until he retired. Ironically, that photo might be one of the few photos of Gretzky and Messier wearing the diagonal name jersey without the lace-up collar. I’ve only seen a few others. They went to the lace-up collar after his first season in the Big Apple.

    The first photo has Gretzky wearing #20. He only wore #20 for that photo because they didn’t have a #99 jerseys ready for the photoshoot. He never wore #20 in the WHA (or anywhere else, for that matter).

    Lastly,

    Nope. Looks like East Podunk High, especially to those of us who were around for the days when only top line programs had the wherewithall to afford the luxury of white pants.

    (Actually, and I’m sure this is part of the trend toward dark pants, the new turfs made from tires get hundreds of little black pills–or even more bits of fake green grass–all over them, and the damn things don’t come out in the laundry. Gotta pick those suckers off by hand. I know, I play softball on a turf like that all winter long under a local high school’s air-supported-dome football field. So I can understand that white pants might remain a pain, just in a different way.)

    I realize things change, but the dark pants do still take some getting used to. I just keep thinking of SO many horrible small-town high school programs that dressed like that.

    QUESTION: Thinking of renting SCHOOL TIES with Brandon Fraser cuz of the old school football unis. Is the movie any good?

    He and Messier are wearing two different jerseys in terms of the manufacturer. The necklines are completely different, making me think that one is a Starter jersey, and the other is a CCM jersey. Gretzky wore Starter jerseys in New York until he retired. Ironically, that photo might be one of the few photos of Gretzky and Messier wearing the diagonal name jersey without the lace-up collar. I’ve only seen a few others. They went to the lace-up collar after his first season in the Big Apple.

    OH Please. The green and green FANTASTIC. Best Jets combo!!![/quote]

    Nope. Looks like East Podunk High, especially to those of us who were around for the days when only top line programs had the wherewithall to afford the luxury of white pants.

    (Actually, and I’m sure this is part of the trend toward dark pants, the new turfs made from tires get hundreds of little black pills–or even more bits of fake green grass–all over them, and the damn things don’t come out in the laundry. Gotta pick those suckers off by hand. I know, I play softball on a turf like that all winter long under a local high school’s air-supported-dome football field. So I can understand that white pants might remain a pain, just in a different way.)

    I realize things change, but the dark pants do still take some getting used to. I just keep thinking of SO many horrible small-town high school programs that dressed like that.

    But, after a corner kick just after 45 minutes, he was knocked down, so the camera stayed with him for a bit. If you follow the shot, he turns, and it’s clear that he’s got 7 on the front and 17 on the back. Does not appear that a 1 fell off.

    Some of these work, some are all-sorts-of-wrong, but at least there are no desginer logos creeping about…

    In addition to the discussion of the U.S. soccer uniforms lacking the USA crest, the women’s gymnastics team had podium training last night and didn’t even wear red, white, and blue. They wore hot pink with a teeny tiny American flag on the right forearm. Perhaps these aren’t the true uniforms and just the training uniforms, but I was appalled that they couldn’t even get the colors right, let alone crest.

    The men, however, had just red and white (no blue) but had USA on the uniforms. And they’re still wearing footie pajama uniforms that make me giggle every time I see them.

    Once again, these might not be game-day uniforms and just practice jerseys.

It’s autographed by Ken Griffey, Jr. and obtained in a 1998 raffle, so we know the when. I don’t think it was a game cap, so might have it been a BP cap, or just a random souvenir stand item?

    link

    My guess is it’s a souvenir hat. The M’s had that logo on the alternate cap with the silver bill they wore from ’97-’99, and then on the mesh/coolbase BP hats MLB started rolling out in 2000, but I can’t recall ever seeing an authentic hat like the one in the photo.

    It would be nice to see the back of the crown and the inside to help make a definitive judgement. Oh well![/quote]

    From memory, I think it was worn with teal alternate jerseys at home…and may also have been a BP hat.

    Must be a Mariner expert here who’ll nail for you, though.

    re: Mariners hat. You’re right. Alternate cap hat had silver visor. If I could delete my post I would.

    HAH good article. I was actually watching that game but on the Houston side. I know the Astros have Velcro. I have an Authentic Biggio Stros jersey that has velcro in the gap. Its pretty nifty. The Yankees also don’t have a pro button, can’t believe they missed that.

    I think this whole “crestless jersey” deal has “turf war” written all over it.

    The USOC doesn’t want USSF stealing its limelight, and it probably doesn’t want the swimmers and the shotgun shooters and the weightlifters demanding to have the crest of their organizing bodis on their uniforms.

    In response, the USSF appears to have said “fine, then we’ll go with blank shirts.”

    Or else it’s all a Nike plot.

    1. I really like that 2008 World Series logo. It’s by far the best one since ’03. The color scheme, and use of the words “Fall Classic” is pretty cool. I’d kill for a Yankee cap with that logo on the side, however it really looks like that’s not going to happen.

    2. As a die hard Patriots fan living in NY, I’m ALREADY sick of hearing about Favre. Though a Brett Titans jersey will look quite nice.

    Someone else pointed out the Hot Pink gymnastics wear. It was Adidas, a black Adidas logo was just above the hip…larger then the US flag on the wrist.

    I’m currently watching the US-Japan game on DVR and they had highlights of the other matches at halftime. Interesting that Belgium is wearing Adidas jerseys with the Belgian NOC’s logo, while the Belgian FA has a deal with Nike.

    I remember seeing Spain-Saudi Arabia in Orlando during the Atlanta ’96 tournament and Spain’s jersey’s featured the Spanish NOC logo. Argentina’s also done this during recent Olympics.

    I’d have to assume they made this mandatory for this year, but have yet to find anything online that says so (other than something posted on here months ago about Japan not being able to have their FA logo on the jersey).

    That’s loyalty for you. Back when the USSF was in dire financial straits (pre- World Cup ’94), they were more than happy to use the USOC’s facilities in Colorado Springs. Regardless, a turf war doesn’t seem likely as Nike is providing the uniforms for the entire Olympic team this year.

    Thunder? Are you fucking kidding me. What a lame team name. Its a god damn SOUND, but how much you wanna bet the logo is a Lightning Bolt? Not many of those in Pro Sports.

    And in the case of the Argentines, in the past they’ve worn their NOC logo on the chest in place of the Argentine FA logo. If they’re going with something on the sleeve, this would probably fit your theory.

    Hello everyone,
    I just saw it for a split second, but it appeared that at the Favre press conference one of the NFL Network microphones had the old logo and the other had the new one. Did anybody else see that, or am I crazy?
    -Bryan

    Upon further review, the logo on the sleeve of the Argentine soccer jersey is the Argentine NOC’s logo.

    link

    Nice catch by the KC guy with the clear sticker on his helmet. Must be a defensive player

    Also, Cameroon has had two badges on their shirt for several years, a lion over the heart and (typically) their FA badge on the right hand side of the chest. Here, the FA logo has been replaced by the NOC one. Korea, meanwhile, has their FA logo.

    So in short, we have Australia, Belgium, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, and Serbia with their NOC badges on their shirts. China is wearing their flag, which is what they always wear. Argentina, Brazil, Honduras, and Korea have their FA badge. And the US somehow missed the boat entirely. Sigh…

    Pardon me if it was mentioned after the HOF game, but I just noticed, watching the Giants and Jets games, that the green sticker on the QBs’ helmets now have the NFL logo inside of them with a line underneath.

    In the Madden 09 Demo, the midfield logo is the new logo. The only thing you can play is a recreation of the SuperBowl from Manning’s throw to Tyree onward. Manning is wearing the wrong helmet and facemask though. He is wearing the combo his brother uses. Also, Shockey stiil on Giants, Manningham on the Giants, and can’t bring in Tyree.

    Of course not. For the Packers opening home game- how many Jets 4 jerseys do YOU think will be in the stands? Have a nice day, Aaron.

    Now, we have gone through the VT jersey ad nauseum, but I’d figure I’d share this… I just got the VT Bookstore magazine in the mail recently, and the jersey they are selling is a style that they have never, and will never wear. In previous years, this design has been correct, but they screwed the pooch on this one, and I can’t even begin to describe how or why…

    Bottom left corner shows a maroon jersey with the piping of the 2004-2007 jerseys with the number style and coloring of what was worn before then with the maroon gap between the white and orange, and whats even more puzzling is the orange sleeve numbers which have NEVER been worn with that design…
