Good. Let Nike and Fanatics screw them over, too.

Lions dropped new unis today. I don’t have a link yet but kind of underwhelming though the black 3rd jersey with the blue chrome helmets and blue pants is a sweet combo.

They got rid of the awful all-grey and added an awful all-black instead (which just looks Panther-y to me, especially with the helmet). I do really like the home and away set though.

All of us here in Houston are praying the leaked third uniform is not the actual third uniform.

H-Town!

Lions were one of the non-normal number fonts that I actually liked, but returning to standard block still looks pretty sweet. Words above the number trend needs to go away.

Black gold with oilers/titans coloring?

rass · Post by **rass** » Fri Apr 19, 2024 7:37 am

No that's definitely an aych.

I'm sure you've seen that the back of the bottom of the helmet thing-y says "H-TOWN". And it seems the helmet has been confirmed as legit.

Sorry ryan, and maybe giff

Meh jersey. I think the helmet is kind of cool, although the lettering reminds me of Texas's city connects

The X font doesn't seem to fit?

The block font numbers is my favorite new feature.

If you think Fanatics is a pretty scuzzy company before, wait until you read the article in the Athletic or listen to today's ESPN daily podcast about their deal with Perfect Game, a youth baseball exposure tournament.

Here's that article: Why the Perfect Game, Fanatics deal has agents raising concerns about amateur player rights.

And yes...incredibly sleazy...

As a vocal proponent of the Steelers "bumblebee" unis I have no choice but to support the NYG throwbacks. Sorry.

I dig the winged helmets!

But the jerseys look like 80s White Sox. No bueno.

I'm excited for when everyone forgets about the uniforms until they are worn and the universal reaction goes to 11.

I may have mentioned this in another thread, but after attending Railbird music festival a couple years ago and seeing all kinds of completely random basketball jerseys, AB and I decided if we ever attended a festival together again, we’d buy random basketball jerseys to wear. Well we are going to Bourbon & Beyond. Any guesses on what we selected?

If you’re expecting us to guess in a reasonable amount of time then they can’t be that random

Oh, of course!

Not sure why this popped into my head, but there was a sporting goods catalog store in Buffalo (mostly hockey), and they sold jerseys with mistakes for $5 in a bin. My friend played on an intramural basketball team, they all had Shaq's Magic jerseys with #33 instead of 32.

It’s one very specific thing (or I guess three!) that these people have that the jerseys of the people we bought don’t have.

Ha! That’s awesome. I love Sickos Committee on Twitter reposting people finding random jerseys or t-shirts where you’d never expect to find them. Like me walking into a Dick’s and seeing a Rider t-shirt (I’d totally buy it too).

A lot of time on their hands after work is done to solve an impossible riddle?

If there was a Lance Armstrong jersey on the list, they’d only have two less?
