Embroidered Wallpapers

I ran across a few of these cool embroidered wallpapers a while back and I have now stumbled upon the entire collection.  Not all of the teams are available (no Raiders yet) but there are a lot to choose from.  There are even some cool vintage logos in the mix.  Enjoy.

NFL Captain’s C’s

The NFL and Mr. Goodell have determined to institute a captain’s patch in the league this year to try and instill a sense of leadership.  From what I hear, it isn’t a requirement and not all of the teams are using them this year.  I think that is a bad idea.  If you are going to do it, the whole league should.  There are four stars underneath the C for each year that the player is a captain, a star will be gold.  That begs the question, “What happens if they will be captain for five years?”.  Let’s wait and see if these patches last that long.

Runnin’ Ute uniforms to change significantly in 2007-08

I don’t think you are ready for this uni change.  The only thing I agree with is that they are removing the black.  Apparently their student section is called the “Muss” and so they are going to put that on the shorts!  That’s like Duke putting “Cameron Crazies” on their unis, not a good thing.  But then again, being a Cougar fan, I don’t mind if the Utes make themselves look silly.

A New Era For The Atlanta Hawks

Well, the Hawks have made yet another uni change; however, I am a little confused about it.  They changed colors, unis, and added a new secondary logo but they just recolored the primary logo (ala Jazz).  I wish they would have just scrapped the primary and totally move to a new look rather than hold on to something from the past.  Also, I am not sure how I feel yet about the blue.  I would like to see this new look with the traditional red and yellow.  Perhaps I smell a concept coming on…

For now, check out the Hawks website where they fully present the new look.

Return of the Red: Sixers Unveil New Second Road Uniforms

phi_redalt0607.jpgThe 76ers have unveiled a new road uni which recognizes the great unis of the past by making the predominant color red.  I think this is a good move for the franchise as they should consider going back to this color scheme full time in my opinion.

Chargers update their look for 07-08

sd_0708.jpgThe webmaster for the Chargers posted a header that showed their new look earlier than planned and so they have decided to make the announcement now.  The most dramatic change is that they will be using a white helmet full time next year.  They will be having a fashion show next Wednesday to officially unveil the new set but here is a sneak peek.  I personally think they are a little too busy and they would have been better off switching between the set from last year and their powder blue retro unis.  Oh well, I don’t care if my rivals look silly.

Nike unveils fitted uniforms for schools

Are you ready for the future?  Nike feels the basketball uniform needs a change and I’m not just talking about adding stripes, I’m talking about a style change.  Today, Syracuse debuted the new “fitted uniforms” released by Nike.  In short, the tops are tighter and the shorts are longer.  There are also a few different ways to modify the uni in case you would like to modify the look with an undershirt (longsleeve or shortsleeve).  Other ‘Elite’ Nike schools will also be moving to this style before too long which means watch out Heels.

Titans feel good when they look good

Titans feel good when they look good
By TERESA M. WALKER, AP Sports Writer2 hours, 7 minutes ago
Linebacker David Thornton prefers the light blue jersey and pants because they remind him of his alma mater, the North Carolina Tar Heels.  Tennessee teammate Benji Olson likes the slimming effect of dark navy on his waistline — he’s an offensive lineman.  The Tennessee Titans may lead the NFL in one unofficial category this season — uniform changes. They believe looking good helps them play well, and they have experimented with seven combinations of jersey and pants, searching for just the right ensemble for game day.  “You play how you look and how you feel, so when we’re looking good, … guys are bouncing around a little bit more, ready to play” receiver Bobby Wade said.  It’s hard to argue with the results. After an 0-5 start, the Titans won their first game of the season Oct. 15 at Washington when they first wore the navy jersey and pants. From there, the team won seven of it’s next nine games and takes a six-game winning streak and a chance at the playoffs into its regular-season finale against the visiting New England Patriots.  “It’s important to present yourself in a way that somewhat helps you play with some confidence,” Thornton said.  Safety Chris Hope said defensive backs particularly hate the league’s strict dress code governing details such as how to wear their socks and what type of wrist bands are acceptable. It takes a player out of his comfort zone, Hope said.  “It’s all about the style and that swagger that you have. Everybody likes to look good, and the football uniform doesn’t change that,” Hope said.  The NFL’s only uniform requirement involves jerseys — home, road and a throwback or alternate. The home team has first choice over what color jersey to wear, which is why Washington often wears white at home and the Jaguars have donned all black in Jacksonville this season.  The Titans have an alternate jersey that is a light blue, a shade or so darker than the Columbia blue of the old Houston Oilers, with navy blue across the shoulders.  But there’s no standard for pants, and that’s where the Titans have mixed and matched.  They wore the navy blue jersey with white pants against the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys at home, then used the white road jersey with navy pants at Indianapolis.  Coach Jeff Fisher, a former player, didn’t mind when some of his Titans asked about switching up the uniform. He even let them have a football fashion show to figure out combinations. No walking the catwalk, just holding up different jerseys with pants.  “They have fun doing it. The thing about it, the decisions are just about unanimous,” Fisher said. “They’re not 50-50 with half the team wants this, the other half wants that. They like the change. We’re just excited that we’ve been given the opportunity to have different options.”  Thirteen-year veteran Kevin Mawae has never seen so many color combinations, but he likes what he sees.  “If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. I firmly believe in that, and I always have,” he said. “Anytime you put on new duds, you look good, and you go out and play good.”  Against Houston, the Titans paired the alternate jersey with the navy pants. The Tar Heels’ look first appeared on Dec. 3 against Indianapolis, and the Titans’ winning streak started Nov. 19 at Philadelphia when they wore the white jersey with light blue pants.  The only look that received negative reviews? The white jersey-white pants combo, and that’s likely superstition because it’s what the Titans wore in a 37-7 loss at Jacksonville on Nov. 12.  “We probably won’t wear that again,” Wade said. “If we do, it could have a reverse effect. If we do, I think guys will be more geared to keep that uniform in the ensemble.”  Pairing darker colored jerseys and pants has been a big hit with the Titans, especially the hefty offensive linemen.  ”We prefer all solid colors, no matter what, so there’s no waist lines,” Olson said. “It gives it that streamline effect. I would say dark-on-dark is probably one of our favorites.”  Reebok still has the Titans in the lower third of the NFL for merchandise sales. But rookie Vince Young’s No. 10 has been among the top 10 in the league and top three among rookies, and his sales have jumped 38 percent since the beginning of November.  Olson thinks the Titans will test even more looks.  ”We’ve been successful doing that. I’m sure we’ll keep mixing and matching and trying to figure out what that best combination is,” he said.
