Uni Watch wouldn’t be nearly as good as it is if not for all the tips, info, screen shots, and discoveries that so many of you generously share with me. Today, in the spirit of the holidays, is the day I give something back. Or, if you’re more cynical, it’s the day I clean out all the crap that’s been accumulating in my desk drawers over the past year. Either way, two dozen of you stand to win something for free, because I’m raffling off a bunch of stuff. Here’s what’s available (with apologies for the truly crappy photography):
Lot 1: A free Uni Watch membership.
Lot 2: A brand-new Ticket Journal album (further details here).
Lot 3: An MLB 100th-anniversary sleeve patch, autographed by MLB logo designer Jerry Dior.
Lot 4: A bunch of cool old sportswear tags.
Lot 5: A spectacularly garish Mets belt buckle.
Lot 6: An awesome vintage 49ers mini-pennant.
Lot 7: An Islanders T-shirt (with a SpongeTech ad on the back), size small.
Lot 8: An “eco-friendly” Reebok/NHL T-shirt. Includes press release explaining the supposed eco-friendliness. Tagged as size XL; measures 25″ pit-to-pit.
Lot 9: A 76ers T-shirt, with the team’s basketball logo on the back. Size large.
Lot 10: A different 76ers T-shirt, blank on back. Includes NBA and Adidas tagging. Marked as a large but measures 24.5″ pit-to-pit, which means it’s really more of an XL.
Lot 11: A Toronto Huskies replica jersey, made by Classic Old School. NNOB. No size indication but measures 23″ pit-to-pit, so it’s basically a large.
Lot 12: Baseball Cards of the Houston Astros booklet. Shows all of the Colt .45s and Astros Topps cards from 1962 through 1986. Also includes 50 ¢ coupon for Surf laundry detergent with no expiration date!
Lot 13: “I’m Calling It Shea” T-shirt, size large.
Lot 14: “I Still Call It Joe Robbie” T-shirt, size medium.
Lot 15: “I Still Call It Mile High” T-shirt, size medium.
Lot 16: “I Still Call It the Jake” T-shirt, size medium.
Lot 17: Hebrewers T-shirt by Tararrel & Sons. Tagged as a medium but has a very slim cut — more like a generous small.
Lot 18: A very nifty little Yankee Stadium monograph prepared by the design firm that worked on the site. Features lots of cool photos and related info. Unique item.
Lot 19: A Ravens/Orioles mash-up cap, complete with catastrophically upside-down apostrophe. Significantly more purple than the photo indicates. One size fits most (elastic headband).
Lot 20: Five pairs of MLB batting gloves, assorted styles and sizes. Yes, these are left over from last year’s holiday raffle.
Lot 21: Vintage Asheville Tourists T-shirt with awesome Teddy Tourist embroidery. Purchased at McCormick Field in 1997-ish, worn a few times, and then forgotten at the bottom of my T-shirt draw for a decade-plus. No size tagging but is basically a boxy medium or a snug large.
Lot 22: Vintage Meats T-shirt with massive NY insignia on the back. Given to me as an Xmas present several years ago but rarely worn because (a) I tend not to wear royal blue tees, and (b) it’s too big for me. Later became the basis for this design. No size tagging but measures 21″ pit-to-pit, which means it’s a classic large.
Lot 23: Groovy Rob Ullman pin-up T-shirt with his Atom Bomb Bikini logo on the back. Size medium.
Lot 24: Farkas Original Eye Black T-shirt with Andy Farkas signature on the back. Size medium.
Okay, so that’s what’s up for grabs. Here’s how to go about grabbing it (please read carefully, as some procedures are different from last year):
1) Everyone can submit only one entry for this raffle. Membership Program enrollees are not eligible to send extra entries — for this raffle, I want everyone to be on equal footing.
2) To enter, send your one entry to the new-ish raffle address.
3) In the body of the e-mail, please indicate your top 10 choices, in order of preference, by lot number. If you’re only interested in, say, seven items, then just list your top seven choices; if you want to list more than 10, you can do that too, all the way to 24, but I don’t really expect anyone to go that far. I’ll do my best to accommodate everyone’s choices.
4) Please include your shipping address.
Entry deadline is 10pm eastern next Wednesday, December 23rd. I’ll announce the winners on Christmas Day.
One additional note: A few of these items are gifts that some of some of you have thoughtfully sent me over the past year. Believe me, I genuinely appreciate each and every item you folks send my way. But sometimes I have duplicates on certain items, or I can’t find a good place for a particular item in my home, or I’ve gotten some enjoyment out of an item but am now ready to let someone else enjoy it. No offense intended — thanks for understanding.
Culinary Corner: Tonight I’m going to be making this monster 34-ounce ribeye for dinner. The best way to cook it, of course, would be to toss it on the grill, but I don’t grill in the winter, and most of you probably don’t either. Indoor-wise, the classic methods would be either cooking it over very high heat in a cast iron skillet or putting it under the broiler, but both of those methods can leave your kitchen very smoky (my kitchen doesn’t have an exhaust fan), plus this steak is nearly two inches thick, which means the exterior would probably end up nearly incinerated by the time the center reached medium-rare. What to do?
This: I’m going to melt about half a stick of butter in my cast iron skillet over medium heat — not high — until it starts to foam and sizzle. Then I’m going to put the steak (which I’ll already have rubbed with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and brought to room temperature) into the skillet and cook it for about six or seven minutes per side, until a nice crust forms. Then I’ll pop the skillet into a 325-degree oven until a meat thermometer says the steak has hit 120 degrees. Then I’ll take the steak out and let it rest until it comes up to 140.
The beauty of this method is that you get a nice external crust (and some buttery flavor) without smoking up the whole house. It’s a little counterintuitive, because most of us have been told for years that steaks should be cooked over the highest possible heat, but it turns out that that’s not the only way. For steaks that aren’t as thick, you can reduce the stovetop time to four or five minutes per side and skip the oven segment of the procedure altogether. I’ve been cooking all my steaks this way for the past seven years or so (well, except for the ones I cook outside in the summer), and it’s nearly fool-proof. Plus it won’t set off the smoke detector.
Bon appetit.
Signal Flare: Hey, Mike Kinney, please give me a shout. Thanks.
Uni Watch News Ticker: Looks like Justin Smith has an Anheuser-Busch logo tattoo (good spot by Joe Hirsch). ”¦ Jess Haines attended Sunday’s Packers/Bears game and noticed a few things from his spot behind the Green Bay sideline: “First, all the offensive linemen sit on their own bench in order. The receivers sit on their own bench in depth chart order (Donald Driver is first, but hidden by the equipment case; also, you can see Jermichael Finley’s newfangled jersey with its tiny NOB). And long snapper Brett Goode had a well-placed hole in his pants. Watching him practice long snaps all day was not pleasant.” ”¦ Yesterday I posted this cover shot from an old Rangers program that Matthew Hackethal recently acquired. Now he’s provided some scans from the interior pages. ”¦ Here’s something I hadn’t seen before: the Jackson 5 wearing basketball uniforms (with thanks to Steve King). ”¦ New team name and identity package for the Pirates’ high-A affiliate. ”¦ Someone on the White Sox will finally be wearing white socks — or at least white sanitaries — now that Juan Pierre is headed to the South Side. ”¦ Always fun to see Marty Schottenheimer’s NOB (nice find by Jacob Pomrenke). ”¦ Nice work by Shaun Ploenzke, who colorized those shots of Mel Ott and the Cubbie catcher from yesterday’s entry. Boy howdy, is that Cubs jersey hot-cha-cha or what?! ”¦ New logo for the PGA Tour’s Waste Management Phoenix Open. Really rolls right off the tounge, no? (With thanks to Kenn Tomasch.) ”¦ Yes, it’s true: The Giants will have an alternate cap next season. It’ll be worn with an alternate jersey, but I’m not allowed to talk about that until January. ”¦ Dayton will be wearing 1969-70 throwbacks on Saturday (with thanks to Tim Bennett). ”¦ Sad news from the design world, where I.D.

Never seen that packaging before. ”¦ Hey, Michael Ferry colorized the Mel Ott and Cubbie catcher photos too!
I like the new Giants hat. I can’t really imagine what the new alt jersey would look like. I like the current bp jersey, except for the silly gold shadow. Maybe a throwback with the orange script jersey?
Definitely good to see Juan Pierre will be playing for the Sox, considering that link won’t be back next year.

Thanks for the Fan appreciation raffle…lots of goof choices there!
If you can’t grill in the middle of December, when can you grill? It was 71 and sunny at my house yesterday. Plus Winter doesn’t start until next Monday. Cheers!
Post of the year for those Jackson Five hoops uniforms. Absolutely stellar!
The “Schottenheimer” NOB is a hoot. I used to have a Capitals white jersey, with the fancy huge letters, with #22 “KONOWALCHUK” on the back. The name went from elbow to elbow across my back.
Oh man, I really hope the Giants’ alt looks like the fauxback that was featured on this site several months back:

I don’t know if this has already been covered but I just found , a very nice listing of the sweaters for the upcoming Winter Olympic Games. Great stuff in the raffle as well!
Though I typically always see the glitches too – they are outweighed by the eye-popping colorizing jobs by Shaun & Michael. Plus I’m well aware I couldn’t do it all.

Meat+salt+pepper.
Back in the early 90’s I started following the NY Giants closely and have become a fan, but I still almost don’t know the official logo of Gotham’s Giants is it the blue [ny] outlined in red? just blue? or is it the GIANTS they have in the end zone.. link logos are my favorites link

Always rub meat with olive oil.. Lubrication, browning, crusting. It helps in all of these areas.
I’m on record right now – I will buy the Ravens/Orioles mash-up cap from the winner! I have been trying to get one of these forever now!
I couldn’t make the game they gave them away at, so I bought my wife tickets and she was going to get me the cap, but her car broke down on 395 and she was there for 4 hours….so I got a huge car bill and no cap!
Why don’t you grill in the winter? Many have been the times I had to shovel a path from the back door to the grill. Honestly, sometimes I don’t understand you at all.
I don’t subscribe to the olive oil rub, but to each his own.
Olive oil smoke point is too low.
And I can’t believe you won’t be using clarified butter.

I grill in the winter if it isn’t too cold and/or windy. But all I have to do is walk out the back door and down a few steps to get to my grill. If I lived in an apartment like Paul does, I doubt that I’d be grilling in the winter.
I ain’t grilling tonight. The temperature’s supposed to be in the upper teens.

Paul, will the steak really have carry-over heat enough to bring the temp from 120 to 140?
I always thought that you only get a 5 or 7 degrees increase – max.
I’m up here in Michigan, so I’ve learned not to let the weather stop me from grilling. It doesn’t matter if it’s 90 degrees & sunny, or 10 degrees with a foot of snow on the ground, nothing will stop my grill from cooking meat! (Except if it’s too rainy to get the coals started).
My family’s traditional Christmas dinner is steak on the charcoal grill.
I have two snow shovels stationed outside: one out front for the sidewalk, and one on the back deck so I can get to the grill.

Those kinds of jerseys were dumb the first time which is why no one bought them. Now someone wants to DIY?

I live on the second floor of my building and can only access my grill by going down thru the basement to my back yard. So it gets to be a bit of a production. Also, I hate gas grills — I only use charcoal. Which is more of a hassle in winter. Basically, I only cook outside if I’m going to eat outside.
And besides, the method outlined in today’s entry works just as well.

Always cracks me up how so many of us grill in the summer but not the winter. Because after all, who wants to stand over fire when it’s cold outside? Much better to stand over an open fire when it’s 100 degrees.
I live in Texas and grill year round. Rain is about the only thing that stops me from putting steaks on the grill.

Sorry to be so far off uni’s, but, aside from the olive oil–which is probably all right, but not my bag–this is a very tight indoor method. In fact, having worked in several pro kitchens–uni: houndstooth and white–this is how about 99% of steaks get prepared. They actually have a specific “finishing oven” or “salamander” that deos nothing but finish meat. I think the steak retains much more juice than the grill version.

They are the NEW YORK giants and jets. They are named after the CITY and metro area they represent. Not the zip code of the the stadium they play their home games in.
There are dozens of other sports teams whose stadia are in the suburbs but keep the city’s name. It’s no big deal that the Giants and Jets do the same.
Some metro areas encompass more than one state. I live in Philadelphia, but go to New Jersey to buy just about everything… food, clothes, gas, alcohol, etc. Besides the toll (which I make up on a tank of gas being 10% cheaper in NJ) it’s no different than driving 6 miles in any other direction that doesn’t cross a state line. It’s the most overblown thing ever.
Interesting link to that MacGregor NFL uni replica. That dates from a time when the original MacGregor company still existed. Since then it was split into golf and non-golf businesses and, on the golf side at least, sold multiple times. Now the golf part is gone, as outlined nicely in this timely story:
link
As a bit of a golf purist, I have a ton of MacGregor golf gear, and their demise saddens me.
The non-golf MacGregor brand still exists AFAIK, making soccer balls, etc.
Paul, thanks for the cool raffle (I know. that’s like saying thanks for saying thank you, but anyway…)

Hey Paul – just out of curiosity: it seems like you get a lot of exclusive peeks at new jerseys/rebranding before the general public. Are you afforded these by contacts you’ve made while writing about uniforms, or have you been able to just call and ask, or is there some other way you get this information (or is it some combo of these)?
Actually, I ask out of envy more than anything. :)

Because they’re the only teams to play in a different state, and the city just happens to share the same name as the state – so it’s not obvious that it references the city. If they were the “New York City Jets” no one would complain about the New Jersey thing (although that sounds horrible as a name). If old New York was still New Amsterdam, it wouldn’t be an issue. If the Chiefs were known as Kansas instead of Kansas City you’d hear the same thing about them.

Actually, mine’s really easy to clean. Half the time I don’t even need the plastic thing they include to scrape it. I just run a wet rolled-up paper towel over it a few times and I’m done. It’s also a good time saver for people who CAN cook.

2 observations, and please this is just friendly conversation
1. the Kansas City with the sports teams, the Hallmark HQ, the Train Station, old Kemper Arena, etc… the “city” of that region; is in MO not KS. So that would equate to the Jets and Giants using “New Jersey” but playing in Manhattan.
link
2. East Rutherford, NJ is WAY WAY WAY more NYC than probably 80% of the places in New York state, probably more like 90%.
So I guess I’m just close enough to it and it’s obvious to ME that the New York in NYG and NYJ is clearly the city and not the state.
And again, the whole state line thing is way overblown to me. Especially with EZ pass, as you barely have to slow down. (I have walked into NJ, that is still free) But apparently it’s a really big deal to most?
I’m sure the state of +NJ is fine collecting taxes on the player’s salary in exchange for letting the teams say “New York”. After all, If there was no New York City, North Jersey wouldn’t have a stadium for them to play in.

The Washington Redskins sort of play in a different state…I’m not sure what the District of Columbia is officially listed as, but I do know that not only do the ‘Skins not play in DC, but they’re based out of Ashburn, VA. Come to think of it, the Redskins prove TommyD’s point very well: they represent the metro area very well.

Always rub meat with olive oil.. Lubrication, browning, crusting. It helps in all of these areas.[/quote]

One time James McNew (Yo La Tengo bassist) published a potato soup recipe in the YLT newsletter. It called for, like, more potatoes than you can imagine, and a ton of other ingredients. The recipe was lengthy, the procedure painstaking, the amounts of ingredients huge. And then, at the very bottom of the recipe: “Serves 1.” I still remember laughing out loud on the subway as I read it.
So it’s tempting to say that the steak will just be one big Paul-sized serving. But the truth is that I have a friend coming over for dinner, and we still might end up with some leftovers.

2 observations, and please this is just friendly conversation
1. the Kansas City with the sports teams, the Hallmark HQ, the Train Station, old Kemper Arena, etc… the “city” of that region; is in MO not KS. So that would equate to the Jets and Giants using “New Jersey” but playing in Manhattan.
link
2. East Rutherford, NJ is WAY WAY WAY more NYC than probably 80% of the places in New York state, probably more like 90%.
So I guess I’m just close enough to it and it’s obvious to ME that the New York in NYG and NYJ is clearly the city and not the state.
And again, the whole state line thing is way overblown to me. Especially with EZ pass, as you barely have to slow down. (I have walked into NJ, that is still free) But apparently it’s a really big deal to most?
I’m sure the state of +NJ is fine collecting taxes on the player’s salary in exchange for letting the teams say “New York”. After all, If there was no New York City, North Jersey wouldn’t have a stadium for them to play in.[/quote]
Think of it a being defined by the TV market, and all the arguments pretty much fall away. It’s still the New York City market, as is the eastern tip of Long Island. It’s the “across a state line” issue that twists people up. And while it’s odd, it’s not an intentional slight to New Jersey, just a geographic fluke because there is such a population concentration in that area.
Shoot, parts of Connecticut are in that market, too. Had they built the stadium just over the border into Connecticut there’d have been complaints about the “New York” moniker then, too.
But the explanation would have been the same. New York TV market, New York team.

Maybe they could incorporate the promotion/relegation idea from European soccer as well. Have the bottom two teams each season become independents and bring two other schools into the conference. You think the heat is on RichRod now? Imagine if his team got bounced from the Big Ten temporarily.
I guess to get this back to a uni discussion, we should have a design-a-new-logo contest, huh?
The sear and bake method is used by most of your big time steak joints as it offers the most control over the cooking so you can get the right doneness (is that a word?) every time.

Why not just name the conference after the region in which it is primarily located? The Midwest Conference.
My $0.02 for large steak cooking when you don’t want to grill…
Bake in a 250 degree oven until you hit 100-110 internal (do this on a elevated rack over foil). Then broil or put it in a screaming hot cast iron pan until you hit 5 degrees below your desired temp (probably 10 for that bad bo…. large of a piece, also, drain the foil if broiling).
You won’t get nearly the smoke while searing as much of the surface fat will have already rendered during the baking.
It’s also worthwhile to do this for larger cuts on the grill, go indirect for awhile at low temps, then crank up the heat and sear over red hot coals.

The whole state/city thing takes me back to SEGA Genesis days, when games didn’t have proper licensing.
EA Sports Bill Walsh College Football 92 (I Think)
Notre Dame was “South Bend”
Penn State was “State College”
USC was “Los Angeles”
Boston College was “Chestnut Hill”
but colleges with state names, kept them (Michigan, Texas, etc.)
However, on the EA MLBPA Baseball game
city names were ok, but state names were taboo
California was “Anaheim”
Minnesota was “Minneapolis”
Colorado was “Denver” etc
makes one wonder if “New Jersey” had a baseball team in the 90s would this video game have called it “East Rutherford”?

34 ounce ribeye, with bone in? That’s a pretty good single serving. Anybody else ever get the 48 oz prime rib (no bone) at Shula’s Steakhouse? You get a brass nameplate in the lobby if you finish it, plus an online “nameplate” (See link for mine), and an autographed photo of Shula.
Sear-roasting is the way I do all my steaks and loins, even using cast iron skillets on the charcoal grill (and yes, even in the winter, in PA).
Paul, I’ve tried the opposite method too (Roast first, then sear), but I’ve had a devil of a time getting the center to stay pink, and I don’t get nearly as good crusting. It’s a good way to do a top round, or even filet mignon, but I prefer sear-roasting for ribeyes, t-bones, NY Strips, etc.

‘Super-rare’ is always the way to go—as long as the center isn’t cold, play ball![/quote]
If the center isn’t cold, it’s not rare. Cold center is rare. Cool center is medium rare. Warm and pink center is medium.
That’s the definition.
Personally I cannot stand rare. Cold is no good.

Whether or not that jersey resembles the new alt, keep in mind that it’s a replica jersey (you can tell by the black jock tag). Just like the charcoal grey “leaked” Mets jersey this past year, it could very well just be a fashion jersey. I still see blue Dodgers replicas and black Giants replicas all the time in Cali, and neither team has worn those colors (other than a BP) for years.

I heard that linemen usually sit next to each other as they lineup so the coaches can review pics with them easier. It doesn’t make much sense for a a left tackle to talk too much to a right guard, so it’s a coaching thing. I think you’ll find every team does it.
Loving this raffle!
I’ll be posting something about this tomorrow, but I may as well get the ball rolling now:
As many of you know, one of the great Uni Watch holy grails, or white whales, or whatever, is the prototype Chiefs helmet with an Indian headdress design that was briefly shown and discussed during an NFL broadcast over 15 years ago. Many people claim to have seen this helmet, but there’s a lot of disagreement over the specifics: “It was shown during a game in the late 1980s … No, it was during the 1990s! … It was during a game against the Broncos. … No, they were playing the Oilers! … No no no, they were playing the Raiders!!”
I am now very close to solving this mystery. I’ve even found the guy who designed the prototype, so I know the whole story behind it (and will be sharing it with you soon, I promise). What I haven’t been able to find is the footage from that old NFL game.
I do know that the game was played in 1989. I also know it was played in KC. That means it was one of these games:
Sept. 17 vs. Oakland
Oct. 1 vs. Cincinnati
Oct. 22 vs. Dallas
Nov. 5 vs. Seattle
Nov. 12 vs. Denver
Nov. 26 vs. Houston
Dec. 3 vs. Miami
Dec. 17 vs. San Diego
I have reason to believe that it was probably not the Denver game, but that’s not yet 100% certain.
If you were watching that game 20 years ago and can help me narrow this down, link. Thanks.

From the Baltimore Sun:
The Ravens will wear black jerseys with white pants Sunday, when they play the Chicago Bears at M&T Bank Stadium, a team official confirmed Wednesday.
It’s the first time that the Ravens will put on their alternate uniforms this season. The Ravens decided to go from the all-black combination (jersey and pants) last season because first-year coach John Harbaugh didn’t like how it looked.
The only time the Ravens have worn the black jersey with white pants was Dec. 7, 2008, when the Ravens beat the Washington Redskins, 24-10.

Hate to disagree with Mr. Eastwood. Guess that makes me a punk, and yes, I do feel lucky. I started life eating plain hotdogs. I gradually added ketchup, then at the 1981 All-Star Game, I had my first taste of stadium mustard (the brown stuff) on a hotdog. Hey, I was given free tickets and my cousin told me to try it – who was I to turn him down?
Since then, I will use either, neither or both of those condiments, but nothing else. Call me a Philistine, but ketchup still rocks on a dog.
Every year during the World Series, I’ll make my traditional plate of hotdogs: one with ketchup, one with mustard and one with both.
As for a Chicago-style dog, link sorry, but if that were a uniform it would be the Tucson Toros link of hotdogs. What a mess.
Now bratwurst, on the other hand…don’t think you can eat that with anything other than mustard.

That jersey has been on sale out here since before the season ended…September, at least. Every Friday at the ballpark is “Orange Friday” and the Giants sell a lot of orange merchandise for that very reason. That’s nothing but a Majestic fashion replica. I’ve seen a few lettered up with Lincecum and Sandoval.
I really, really hope the Giants don’t use orange in any capacity. And am I the only Giants fan who doesn’t see the need for an alternate jersey? The home and roads are classy, classic, and clean. Don’t muck it up with a stupid softball look.
Watching Ducks v Canucks on TSN, and the color guys are fixated on Anaheim keeper Jonas Hiller. They don’t like his mask (“I don’t get it…It looks ugly and unimaginative.”), they noted his “ugly” mask is Swiss-designed just like his skates, which are carbon fiber (not a popular option, as only Ed Belfour had the carbon fiber skates before Hiller), and they saw that Hiller, like Bobby Orr (I wouldn’t know, as I’m too young to have seen Orr play), was without socks on his feet under his skates.

Howard Berger needs to get with the times. The Sabres story has been out for months, the Penguins confirmed that the baby blue alternate was done months ago, and the Islanders made the announcement last season that they were trying to have their retro jerseys brought back as their everyday jerseys.
The Maple Leafs story is new, but the Flyers story was all but confirmed when they swapped the orange as their home jerseys this season. However, I wish they’d kill off that stupid black nameplate on the Winter Classic jerseys and link. As for Nashville, I’m not sure why they would change anything.

Hot dogs, a weekend near-autistic habit of mine for many years.
1. Cook 2 dogs on small Foreman clamshell-type. (Alternatively, steam them. NEVER boil.)
2. New England frank buns please. (Do you Chicago and NY guys know the difference?)
3. First, yellow mustard goes onto the inside of the bun, at the bottom.
4. Next, dog goes in
5. Brown deli mustard on top, in a swirly pattern
6. Hot sauce, yep, hot sauce next. Usually Frank’s (the REAL Buffalo sauce, as the Anchor Bar used), or Texas Pete’s
