Football
NFL
- Here’s a very fun story about the first draft in Panthers team history. The team had prepared three jerseys for the three players they were considering taking, but misplaced one of them.
College

Hockey
NHL

Grab Bag
- New York is set to ban Native American mascots for schools. The state would join Maine as the only states to have blanket Native American mascot bans — other states’ bans allow exceptions with specific permission from tribes.

No post about the Arizona Cardinals announcing new uniforms?
Not sure why AE didn’t put one in the Ticker, but I had this as an item (“Uni Tweet of the Day”) in today’s main article.
Thanks, I didn’t click on it b/c I wasn’t interested in USFL uniforms. I would think new uniforms for the Cardinals would have its own post rather than be buried in a post that’s mainly about USFL uniforms. Thanks for letting me know.
The uniforms were actually announced (though yesterday was the first time we were given a concrete date for unveiling) more than a week ago, and it had its own post: link
There’s definitely no need for another separate post until the uniforms are actually unveiled. I’m quite certain Paul will have a big post on them once they’re actually unveiled.
Good decision by the Hurricanes to wear the red throwbacks in the playoffs. Now keep them next season as your primary uniform. Bring in a white version of this uniform. We have just fixed your current uniform problem by giving you a consistent look at home and on the road. The black uniform is not suitable as a primary home uniform. Your’re welcome, Hurricanes!
PS – quit wearing the red helmets on road with the white uniforms. You are playing in the NHL, not junior hockey or a rookie prospect tourney.
Seconded. I happen to like the roundel logo and want it returned to the white sweaters.
The Hoffman Padres throwbacks aka the best Padres set.
It IS the Padres, after all, so there’s something for everyone.
I’m sorry but blue is not a color for a team named the Padres. Must be brown.
Soccer:
Brentford is wearing their third kits today at Wolves.
Also in soccer:
Portland and Seattle(MLS) wore their secondary kits tonight.
