What a Large Closet You Have

I am picturing link style uniform for Oregon, only with shades of greens, blacks, and yellows, and gaudy yellow oregon lettering, maybe throw in a few collar bone and armpit accents…oh yeah, and don’t forget the diamond plate design on the shoulders…that’s a trademark…

Craig Biggio wore quite a few jerseys in his time with the Astros.

link.

Not included in that of course are the Turn Ahead the Clock uni, the tequila sunrise throwbacks, the red alts of recent years, and don’t they have an all white with no pinstripes now? That’s 10-11 right there.

Mike Sillinger: NHL-record 12 teams. He also holds the related record of scoring a goal for 12 different teams.

Looking quickly at nhluniforms.com I noticed that Mario Lemiuex wore quite a few jerseys styles with pittsburgh. I counted like 8-10. Mostly small changes. Can Paul get a more accurate count?

Teebz probably knows off the top of his head.

According to Jack Looney’s “Now Batting Number…” compendium, Chacon would become the fifth major-league pitcher to wear 1. The others: Ed Gallagher, Red Sox ’32; Tony Jacobs, Cardinals ’55; Jack Jenkins, Senators ’62; Matt Young, Mariners, ’90.

The least-worn single digit for pitchers: 4, worn only by Mike Fornieles for the ’52 Senators in four games.

That picture of link is from a game late in the 1997-98 season, when the team wore its “classic” uniforms for one game to help usher in the Gluckstern/Milstein ownership group (and, presumably, to have some photos of current players wearing same in game action for the next season’s yearbook and promo materials). Note the absence of the four-stripe shoulder patch, the solid-outlined numerals, and the diagonal “2”; compare to link.

In terms of players having a lot of uniform combinations/jerseys without moving so much, are we disqualifying the late 1990’s Arizona Diamondbacks who seemingly had 162 different uniform combinations?

TOPPS was not licensed to produce NBA cards. So all the teams had some off the wall variation of their logo. The players wore jerseys on the cards with the city name[/quote]

That doesn’t make much sense, though. The jersey he’s wearing features a team logo (wordmark), and they use the complete trademarked name of the club on the top of the card, which certainly implies permission.

So Topps could use a wordmark but not a logo? That doesn’t seem right. Were wordmarks not protected by the club?

Not nearly as impressive as Linden’s (nor as much of an eyesore) But still noteworthy.

[quote comment=”229016″]As far as the Oregon baseball unis go, I think that Nike would respect a decision to keep a more traditional look. They do have some class when it comes to teams wanting to stay traditional.

When Texas became a Nike school back, Mack Brown insisted that the uniforms maintain their same traditional appearance, as they have for several decades. Nike obliged and the only thing different now is that they have swoosh instead of the previous Reebok vector.

Nike also did the school a service by omitting any black from school uniforms, logos, and wordmarks. Black is not one of the school’l colors, but Reebok had unfortunately added it into its apparel line for Texas.

As far as the other sports are concerned, Nike maintained a traditional look with the baseball team, and added some appropriate dreative aesthetics to the basketball uniforms. But overall it was very good and much needed improvement.

It will be interesting to see what they do for Oregon baseball.[/quote]

They do some wonderful soccer uniforms too, e.g., link, and link. Certainly better than the crap Adidas puts out.

Thank goodness for the Miami Marlins change. The National League was traditionally a city name leage and it was bastardized when the Marlins and Rockies chose Florida and Colorado instead of Miami and Denver. I have never forgiven them.

Now we need to work on Colorado and Arizona!

Not including journeymen who’ve been traded eight or nine times, can you think of any other player in all of North American pro sports who’s been the canvass for so many jersey styles, especially while for the most part being the face of a single franchise?

Biggio definitely shakes out as the closest comparable to Linden as the face of a sartorially directionless franchise. And yes, they do have an all-white uni, in addition to the pinstripes, totally unused road grays, and two different red alts.

Trevor Hoffman (Padres from 1993-) would have worn a bunch with the Padres.
I suck at linking so I’m just gonna list them.
1) The Current Home (White)
2) The Current Road (Tan)
3) The Current Alternate (Blue w/ Tan Pants)
4) The Camouflage
5) The Solid Home one they wore in 2002-2003 which looks kinda like Tampa’s new ones
6) The Solid Road Gray they wore up until 2004
7) The Pinstriped White Home Uni they wore until 2002
8)The Blue Alternate they wore then with the White Pants
9) 1972 Gold & Brown Throwback

He also would have worn three hideous unis with the Marlins in 1993.

And that was just as much as Les Expos de Montreal threatened to move every year between 2001 and 2004. They were promised a new stadium, but that fell through and they were stuck in Quebec until they moved to DC in 2005. The only difference in the Marlins threat that it didn’t come from the team, but by Major League Baseball, as in Mr. Dupay being at the hearings last night (2/21).

The fact is that the Marlins will sign a long-term, unbreakable for four decades lease that prevents them from moving. Alas, though, we bade farewell to the Orange Bowl Stadium in Little Havana.

can we really count throwbacks as a uniform for this challenge?
unless the throwback is used as a consistent 3rd uni (ie. milwaukee) retro, turn back the clock style uni’s shouldnt be inlcuded.

Shane Doan didnt wear two differetn styles of Jets unis though like Teppo Numminen did:

2 seasons with jets in this 88-89,89-90 – link
6 years with jets in this – link
6 years with coyotes in this – link
alternate with coyotes – link
1 year with dallas stars – link

Alternate with sabres in 05-06 – link
Sabres in 06-07 – link

I couldn’t find him wearing a few of them cause they are pretty old heh. Too bad he wasn’t playing this year, he woulda been in the winter classic and had an 11th jersey

I went a little further back and only included the years that he was with the link. By doing that I figure that link wore 17 distinct uniforms during his 30 seasons (link).

True, but they did start out (and end up — sort of) as the L.A. Angels.

I always figured new teams went with the state name either because using the city name was horribly clunky (Minneapolis-St. Paul Twins? Dallas-Ft. Worth Rangers?) or out of some kind of regional pride: the Rangers have even link.

Still, I’d love to see uni workups for the Miami Marlins — not to mention the Denver Rockies and Phoenix Diamondbacks (though Dallas Rangers doesn’t really do it for me).

The sarcasm has been dialed up to 11 today – must be a byproduct of the lunar eclipse

Nike snatched the french soccer team jersey away from Adidas, by agreeing to pay € 42.6 millions (that’s like $ 63 millions) a year from 2011 to 2018. Only the most expensive jersey deal ever (for soccer anyway). Allez les bleus !

Germany should have held that record but they rejected a $680 mil offer from Nike last year in favor of Adidas. In both countries there was no uniform bid until this year. Could have been worth NFL + NBA contract value just for one team! Next, Brazil hits the billion mark.

That’s true about what cleats he’s wearing, but that article just talks about some custom sneakers, not cleats.[/quote]

i know the article talks about custom sneakers but todays entry talked about a signature sneaker design. and those are two totally different things.

it looks as though rollins customs were a pair of air max moto +5’s
link

I hear ya, but I was just saying that a signature sneaker design and a cleat design are also two different things.

And as a sidenote (since I know you’re a sneakerhead), Nike’s been issuing team color Moto+ 5’s to all their athletes… see link, link, and I saw Russell Martin wearing a blue pair this week too (but I can’t find a pic). So I’m guessing Rollins’ pair is just what Nike gave him for workouts (like it seems they’ve given to everyone else), and not this “custom sneaker” that we’re talking about…[/quote]

your right.
rollins= red max moto =5 with mvp stiched on it… im sure the same shoe is on pujols.

Stuby, thats because the actual name of the city is New York, not New York City. Like if you address a letter it is too New York, New York or how the Police are NYPD not NYCPD or how the fire dept is FDNY not FDNYC. If you were to write a leeter to Oklahoma City you would address it to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Thanks, Chad. I was trying to be funny, but then after I posted it I started wondering to myself “Why don’t they wear ‘New York City’ on their jerseys and just what the hell is the name of the city?”.

You address a letter to only the borough of Manhattan as “New York, NY”, this is to differentiate it from the other boroughs that have identical street names in Queens and Brooklyn.

Manhattan (County of New York) postal address is “New York, NY.”

Brooklyn (County of Kings) is “Brooklyn, NY.”

Queens (County of Queens) is by neighborhood; “Corona, NY;” “Astoria, NY;” “Flushing, NY;” “Bayside, NY;” etc. [However, letters addressed to “Queens, NY” with the proper ZIP code will reach their destinations.]

Bronx (County of Bronx) address is “Bronx, NY.”

Staten Island (County of Richmond) address is “Staten Island, NY.”

No wonder postal workers go nuts….[/quote]

Why are you only home/away as one jersey. I’d say that’s two different jerseys.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been any talk of the new Oregon basketball uniforms that they wore last night against USC. Before I say that I hate these unis, I want to say that I actually like Nike and somewhat like Oregon’s football unis, but I hate these basketball unis. What were they thinking?

[quote comment=”229069″][quote comment=”229064″]Adam Vaggalis and I would both like to know why the Lakers were represented by a giraffe on this card. …

TOPPS was not licensed to produce NBA cards. So all the teams had some off the wall variation of their logo. The players wore jerseys on the cards with the city name[/quote]

That doesn’t make much sense, though. The jersey he’s wearing features a team logo (wordmark), and they use the complete trademarked name of the club on the top of the card, which certainly implies permission.

So Topps could use a wordmark but not a logo? That doesn’t seem right. Were wordmarks not protected by the club?[/quote]

I couldn’t let this stand….

First off, that’s not a Topps card, it’s a Fleer card from 1962.

Second, Lakers used a giraffe as the logo for all purposes back then. I’ve scanned a pic of an old Lakers vs. Nats program advertisment where you can order your official link basketball…
