Jersey Mockups

[Trotsky]

Also, please don't compare the Cornell uniforms, which are classic, with the Yankees', which are ungainly and ugly and have really only attained classic stature through longevity.

Strangely, I agree about the pinstripes... but I think the grey away jersey with the simple "NEW YORK" on the front and the three blue-white-blue stripes on the short sleeve ends (cuffs?) is clean and classic in the same way as the Cornell hockey jerseys: they are among my favorites.

I agree completely.  I think those unis are beautiful.

I imagine that someday we will have a player named Murphy.  And then the universe will collapse.

Our of curiosity, did you know we had never had a player named Murphy?  I had to look it up (we haven't, at least since 1958).

And note there is no black outlining the script "P" on the cap or the word "Phillies" on the shirt (nor the number on the back, either).::banana::

The Mets just got rid of the black drop-shadowing, leading me to hope that was just another one of those bad design phases that jerseys go through, like 80's numerals or 70's anything.

If we can just get rid of third jerseys we will have edged back from the cultural abyss that leads to, say,

Yep, absolutey no colors that aren't part of the official color scheme. On another note, here's another chilling example of what happens when you start straying too far from your roots.

Traditions evolve.  Jim and some others will remember Ozzie (someone help me with his last name) blowing his air-horn as Cornell came on the ice.  He used to try and time it just as the ref (only one at that time) skated in front of him.  Referee, Giles Threadgold (a character in his own right) used to hate that!! The band regularly playing "Sweet Georgia Brown" is another along with the skating bear "stripping" during the last regular season game are also gone from the Lynah experience.

Richardson. Maynard "Ozzie" Richardson.

I knew Ozzie well, as he was the chef in my fraternity before becoming a campus cop with a desk job (he had a very brief interlude in between where he was cooking at Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips).  Ozzie was quite a character and a great guy.  He was also a great game show player - we'd watch Jeopardy and he was better than most of the contestants, and funny as hell when he knew the answers and they didn't.  His permanent seat at the hockey games was first row in the seat adjacent and just to the left (facing the ice) of the Cornell bench.

Dog bless you ... "Reacharound Bear." (snort)

[captens1]

Here's my skeptical bear.  Perhaps Reacharound Bear is so ubiquitous that newer folks don't know what we're talking about when we talk about Skeptical Bear.

Yeah, I checked it a while back (using TBRW, I'm sure); Mom and I had a running joke for years about all the Murphys in the ECAC (opponents and refs).

FWIW, I think those unis were only used for spring training and never for regular season.

And I personally think the best Phils unis were the 1980'2 era ones - both home and away.

Actually they were worn once in a regular season game on May 19, 1979. The players hated them so much they refused to ever wear them again.

Good choice.  They look like long johns.

One is a fluke. Two is a trend. As far as I can tell, this was an option for Cleveland from 1976-1980:

I don't think the pinstripes are ugly.  But the Yankee jersey I own and wear is a road one.  It's just classic.

[KeithK]

It's nor red, but it fits the trend. Oh, the 70's.  My eyes, my eyes.
