I believe that the mexico GK has his logo taped out because it’s his own kit rather than team kit and will be a rival supplier.

its quite common in rugby that players wear a scrum cap (hat) which doesn’t fit with the team manufacturers wishes and so he has to tape over the name (much the same as Schutt helmets not having the name on the front in the NFL).

Did Peter Cech have to tape over his CCC scrum cap?

link apparently; his cap wasn’t a traditional scrum cap, though. Chelsea got Canterbury to design it for him, since it’s protecting an existing injury. At least, that’s what I remember from reading about it.

Also, Re: photos – I think AP need to start looking for stuff like link :*)

Speaking of Women’s NCAA Soccer….congrats to Central Michigan’s womens soccer team for having the nation’s highest team GPA for the 3rd year in a row.

It should’t matter what sex or team is playing, just support your school and enjoy their athletics!

It seems that the Reds have released their tribute patch to Joe Nuxhall (former broadcaster and player who passed away last month).

This link is the best, there are more, but the link monster may eat the post.
Simple, which I like, Nuxy in white letters on a black circle.

Here’s a pic of Scal’s shorts.

I don’t think the NBA ‘did away’ with them as much as it a fashion trend. Even John Stockton’s shorts, although extremely short in comparison to the rest of the league, weren’t that link when compared to link.

Because this is a site dedicated to the discussion of uniform aesthetics and it looks to me like they wear uniforms in women’s college soccer. I’m sure there’s a site out there dedicated to discussing the lameness of women’s soccer.

Actually, here’s the relevant question: is there anything at all interesting, original, or noteworthy about the uniforms in this year’s women’s soccer Final Four?

Well, two adidas teams lost to two Nike teams. Whoop-de-do. Must be a slow news day in uni-world.

maybe if you knew how to spell WEAR then someone would care about this

[quote comment=”183700″]What was up with the Detroit Piston’s uniforms last night? Were they supposed to be throwbacks? I don’t follow the NBA as closely as i should.

You’d think Veal Scalabrine would get a Tommy Point for wearing throwback-size shorts with the throwback jerseys.[/quote]

i dont think they’re throw back sized… they just rolled up you can see closer to his jersey all the rolls so he must of just jumped or something.

Oh, no — you’re reading too much into it. Any wiseassery was aimed at the AP for running only those two types of photos. Of the dozen-plus photos from those two games, there were literally only those two styles. It was amazing in its lack of variety.

You can probably blame the photographers that are feeding the shots to the AP. Every shutterbug has their favorite style of shot to frame for a particular sport, this one just happens to be partial to both the “Grab and Tackle” action shot and the “Thrill of Victory, Agony of Defeat” reaction. My personal soccer shot would probably be trying to catch player and ball frozen at the moment of impact, but my fav overall sports angle is the Volleyball “Here Comes the Hammer” net shot, with the pre-game team huddle a close second.

oh yeah because all summer long when we get nothing but baseball EVERY day its never a slow day. plus, its an open thread day, the main stories aren’t supposed to be that in depth. and stop blasting bryan for his threads.

I agree with Frank. All of Bryan’s open thread posts have been very derogatory. There’s no need to tear someone apart in order to start a discussion. I’ve always though UniWatch was great for pointing out the oddities of uniformed sports without harshly criticizing people for their decisions. I’ve almost wanted to stop coming to the site on weekends just because Bryan’s posts have been so asshole-ish.

Vince – quit your job and come back!

If you read his post earlier in the comments, youd see he was mocking the types of photos the AP runs concerning the NCAA womens soccer tourny.

Not the tourny itself.

Nor the women.

THE TYPES OF PHOTOS!! As in the content of the photos!

Read before you comment, jacknuts.

[quote comment=”183780″]I think Miguel Calero taped out the uniform because Pachuca is a Puma team and that logo doesnt look like Puma.

Also, he’s from Colombia not from Mexico.

It must be in warm ups because he doesn’t have shinguards on. Also, what brand on “boots” are those? Never saw that logo on a shoe before.

Also, best fictional shirt, hands down, Bad News Bears with Chico’s Bail Bonds sponsorship.

Uni-News… The Cincinnati Enquirer reported in today’s paper that the Reds will wear a patch for 2008 in memory of Joe Nuxhall (youngest professional baseball player ever and Reds broadcaster extraordinairre). The round patch will be black with the word “Nuxy” in white.

I can’t believe this debate. Read Bryan’s text a little (or a lot) more slowly and carefully this time. People, he is clearly making fun of the folks who provide only two types of photos of women’s soccer games, not the sport itself.

When did the colonel sign with Adidas?

I vaguely remember a discussion of the three stripes on his apron. I wonder if it’s a coincidence with Adidas’ sponsorship of the NBA.

The Colonel sporting Adidas, as seen from link.

From the standpoint of youth involvement, I would say soccer is already pretty relevant in the US.

As to the rumor of the Browns changing their unis next year, it aint happening. I sent an e-mail to the official Browns web site and they replied, quote:”By league rules the uniforms must stay the same for five years after a change. Given the fact that we are only one year into the change, we are not able to make a change untill after the 2010 season.” The Browns made a slight change last year.

Southern Illinois is having some serious problems with their screen-printed jersey numbers on ESPN.

I wonder if the Slap Shot jerseys were omitted from the fictional piece because they were so link. (Johnsotwn being were most of that movie was filmed)

As for the Civic/Mellon Arena, I was just talking to my brother about how cool it would be to open the roof one last time if they could. I could be wrong, but I thought the last time they opened it was for that Van Damme movie.

I’m really pulling for APP ST to win it all, great end to a great season for a great program. I do think link are a bit link. And the award stickers are a bit much for college. Unless you’re Ohio State, I like the award stickers a little more subdued in college.

Thanks for the comment. The more I look at the difference between link and link, the more irritated it makes me.

Is it that MLB and most sports franchises are too cheap to hire someone with a little bit of design sense?

I’m not crazy about the red pinstripes on black because to me, they blend together and start looking kind of…brown.

I do agree that the ultra-shiny fabric has go to go.

BTW, the Pistons looked nice.

I think that was just a promotional type jersey. It has all three numbers the brothers wore in the movie which leads to the different numbers and the name is added. But you’re right, no names were used in the film.

I’ve long been a fan of the powder blues and was rooting for their return. In hindsight, though, some thoughts:

I thought the powder blue alts with white pants would be awful. They’re not good, but not as bad as I feared.

I like the white with the royal outline better than the royal with white outline. But I like the solid blue better.

That said, with the baggy look in vogue now, I think an all powder blue look would look just sad. A tighter fit and royal stirrups are needed to complete the look.

If they can’t get it right, don’t. It’ll screw up the good memories I have.

Really, you say? Actually, it’s the link, an NAIA school in Kentucky. Interestingly, maroon appears to be primary color for most of their teams, except for the wrestlers, who go with blue. Plus, there’s no maroon in the Patriot logo.
