That price will only be good for this week. This one seems like it should be right in the wheelhouse for many of you — go for it. A bunch of old doodles created by a high school student in including the baseball player shown at right are featured in the latest Permanent Record entry. Of particular note at least to me: The ushers wore birthday party hats!
When does Pats coach Bill Bellichick not wear a hoodie? As a rugby guy, my list would look different from those of most American sports fans, but it would be interesting to hear who people associate with certain jersey numbers. I just scored this really nice vintage varsity jacket. More details when I receive it from the seller. What Paul did last night: I first encountered Ricky in , when I was still in high school.
I had just recently discovered punk rock and had scored a ticket to see the L. That night I bought an X T-shirt. I offered to give her the T-shirt, but she declined and asked if we could take a photo together instead:. I think it was Cal baseball after the school announced it was dropping the team. They lost the game but won the support of the BU community. Once the announcement was made that the program was being cancelled the players wanted to put an X on the side of their helmets for the final game.
I bought one and still have it somewhere. No mention of Donald Stoiling? Vot you tink Adam Silvah vill do to him? De same ting David Stoin did? Oy, vot a problem! Look at the side view of the Rutgers helmet on that page, specifically the left edge of the helmet. Or if they are going to be worn in regular season games. During the postgame Saturday she said his high school success shows that he can be an everyday big leaguer. Well, what about his minor league career? Would this count as a silent unicentric team protest? Last year Towson University Baseball lost their funding so they played a game with tape over the School name on their jerseys.
Those have sleeves, and are thus rarely liked. Red vs Blue would similarly un-Clipper the game and look acceptable without growing sleeves. It was the Towson University baseball team when the administration announced they were cutting the program. It was fairly obvious with that much movement on it that it would be distracting.
He knows OP is a headcase, was trying to rattle him. I ended up with Ronnie Lott-Dan Marino. Me and my college buds actually do this. Our favorite is the use of our own jersey numbers, if we so happened to play in high school. As well as our 23rd year, which is the MJ year.
I look forward to many happy years of offensive linemen numbers. With luck and a stronger commitment to daily exercise, I may enter wide receiver territory. And non-roster invitee to Yankees Spring Training is completely out of the question. My last license plate also included Wade Boggs and John Hannah. Never really thought of that before, and since it means that I just turned Bartolo Colon, I may wait until next year, when I turn Tom Seaver, to start thinking of it that way.
About two years ago Liverpool made a silent unicentric gesture of protest when the team wore shirts during warmups featuring a picture of Louis Suarez on the front and his name and number on the back after he received an 8 match ban from the FA. The irony of course is that on that occasion, the gesture was in support of someone accused and found guilty of making racist remarks. And I was there. The gesture did not go down well with us Wigan fans — or in fact anyone else other than Liverpool supporters.
Liverpool fan here — very embarrassed by the t-shirt affair. I still think Suarez got a raw deal, but both he and the club dealt with the aftermath horribly.
Looks like Michael Vick is going to wear 8 with the Jets. I thought he might go with 1 although punter Ryan Quigley currently has that or 4, but I guess 8 makes sense. Maybe Vick thinks he can create a legacy with the Jets in that number.
Albeit behind an all-time great, but still…. Just the thought that some people put this level of inane speculation into something as utterly, utterly inconsequential as a jersey number assignment makes me weep for humanity. It reminds me of bullshit celebrity gossip where people try to discern if Lindsay Lohan is pregnant becasue she was spotted wearing a thick coat.
I rest my case. I come here because Uni-Watch is about an acknowledgment that aesthetics matter, that the visual culture of sports has a greater meaning beyond the purely trivial or academic.
Uni-Watch is about an acknowledgment that aesthetics matter, that the visual culture of sports has a greater meaning beyond the purely trivial or academic. We can have that discussion. No offense, but make up your effing mind, and in the meantime get a grip and spare me the melodrama. Just like the seemingly endless obsession with Michael Vick, this conversation has gone on way too long. But what got me riled up in the first place was that this is nothing more than bloody celeb gossip and the kind of idle speculation you employed in trying to discern why Vick picked no.
Which you were perfectly free to ignore. So you lied about that too. I suppose only your superior judgment should be considered and consulted as to what the rest of us are permitted to think, talk, write or care about. No, what I was saying was that your original point was a personal judgement i. Ergo, the former comment was a lie. Then you compounded the lie by directly contradicting yourself, viz. I understood perfectly well what you actually wrote. If what you wrote is not what you meant , that is your failure, not mine.
Can I establish that there is the general aspect of my argument: Michael Vick, as per your original post. They are not contradictory as you state but complimentary aspects of the one argument.
It really could have been anybody, but since the original subject was Michael Vick, he has been the example given throughout. Seriously though, this whole conversation has been me just having to repeatedly clarify my position because you keep misunderstanding my argument. I have never heard of a player choosing a number behind the starter as them accepting their role as backup. Frankly, I would not want them on my team if that were ever the case. And then, of course, that was me wearing 13 on the Richie Guerin-era Knickerbockers.
Me neither, but I was thinking it might be a subtle show of class. Yeah, I know — sorry — that was meant to be tongue-in-cheek more than anything serious. Vy dey making such a protest? Stoin and Silvah will settle dis matter wit Stoiling.
I thought he might go with 1 although punter Ryan Quigley currently has that or 4, but I guess 8 makes sense. Bando April 28, at 9: Jack McCallum 25 Julai Michael Vick, as per your original post. A Notre Dame fan in Chicago asked for Likes on a special Facebook page he set up to help him persuade his wife to name their soon-to-arrive daughter Manti.
One of his teammates recalls seeing Yaz lying down on a training table somewhere near the end of his career. In the 30 for 30 documentary on the Fab Five Jalen Rose explained how the group felt exploited over Michigan and Nike making money off of Fab Five related merchandise shoes, T-shirts.
Rose said they staged a number of silent protests but only mentioned one- wearing plan navy blue shirts during player introductions- no Nike logo, no Michigan logo, nothing. Good to see that the Clippers players and coaches are laser focused on winning a title and will let nothing get in the way… Not even the chance to make a substantive act to combat racism in this country.
This is kind of a shitty response. Fans are just as much the boss as the owners are. As a die-hard Clipper fan I was very proud of the players for the actions they took. At the same time I was disapointed by their effort yesterday, it was a very bad showing basketball wise. I really thought that they would band together and show strenght for the fans.
Success amid all the turmoil would be very symbolic in the more important and grand scheme of things. But to follow up: They only did it during an off-day workout: My thanks to everyone for coming up with these — there are more examples than I had realized! The recording made public has Sterling speaking despicably about black people, but it has him behaving despicably toward his girlfriend. Yet the sexism has so far received little note or objection. There are LOTS of those. Louis Cardinals NFL http: They were colored all the way down from the knee to the toe.
Them team hated that look so much that players took the white medical tape from the trainers and wrapped the lower portion of the socks with the tape down into their cleats. This made Bidwell so mad that the next week he had the trainers replace the white medical tape with maroon colored tape. This got so out of hand the league stepped in and fined Bidwell. More on the Cards situation here: That did not end well.
The Blazers also dropped their warmup jackets at midcourt prior to their game last night. I fully expect Portland to affix a 77 patch for him. I hate retired numbers for non-uniformed personnel, but Dr. Jack really does have that honor. Side note, the Blazers have way too many undeserved retired numbers. This article at least confirms it happened: It appears the Blazers deleted their RT and the original poster deleted their tweet, as well.
This was the last time the two teams would meet in Pittsburgh until the browns came back in Im still looking for an image to share. According to this page , the orange armbands were worn by the fans. No mention of the players. Found two game photos. Not definitive, but no sign of armbands on the players: I was at the game. I already have an issue with people wearing jerseys to games of teams not playing, add in the that fact Steve Francis was wearing his own jersey and that equals completely pathetic.
I like wearing hockey jerseys to hockey games, I live next door to the Mausoleum, but I only own Habs jerseys my favorite team and a USA jersey. The Islanders can have my ticket, beer, and hot dog money, but not my clothing money. Favorite player or something? My life, my basketball. The World Cup Quiz.
