- Another Australian Football League Indigenous design, as Fremantle have unveiled theirs. During all men’s and women’s Indigenous rounds starting with this one they’ll also rename themselves with the Indigenous name “Walyalup.” This effort includes a new logo. The three clubs that are renaming themselves happen to be playing each other during this year’s men’s Indigenous round, resulting in two matchups: Yartapuulti/Narrm (or Port Adelaide/Melbourne) and Narrm/Walyalup (or Melbourne/Fremantle).

Chris Mycoskie was a real trooper for calling that WKU softball game.
If I were the official scorer, I would have gotten up and left. Those jerseys (where the only clearly visible thing is the stupid swoosh) should never have been allowed on the field.
If I were the ump, I would have handed the team captain a Sharpie and said “I’m not saying Play Ball until you fill in those numbers.”
Well I mean I’m surprised no one here is talking about striped stirrups over (navy?) sannies. I would think the crowd here would be so nuts over that they’d let the numbers slide.
I’m not the sock nut that Paul and Phil are, so while I noticed them, they were overshadowed by the awful jersey.
What’s worse than charlotte misspelling museum, is that it’s the less noticeable problem on the back of the jersey. Second to Nike’s template knocking the pinstripes out of alignment at the shoulders. Way to mess up a great design.
The advertisement on the Orioles’ soccer shirt is bad enough. Compounding the problem is that it uses the outdated Pepsi logo rather than the current one.

I’m shocked it’s not on this site, but the Reds’ “City Connect” uniform is terrible.
Had to get it out there. Thanks.
Agree. Just saw it (wish I could unsee it). Nothing says Reds like an ugly black uniform.
The leak was posted a few days back. I’m sure Paul a more in-depth look on Monday.
