    yours are better than the yanks or cubs or any other team that wears pinstripes but, let's face it, pinstripes suck :shifty:

    They have a ranking of all North American major pro uniforms on espn.com.

    How would everyone rank the Philly teams?

    I'd go
    1- Phillies
    2- Flyers
    3- 76ers



    400- Eagles

    They have the 76ers as the 4th best - Other 3 are all somewhere in the Top 50.

    I think the Phillies have the best alternate jersey in all of sports. And Flyers have one of the sports' best logos.

    If the Eagles wore those 1960 unis they would "soar" to the top. ba-da-dum

    I think the phils unis are the worst.

    so yeah, phils would be last for me.

    flyers
    sixers (love the old style they brought back last year)
    eagles (agree that they should go back to the kelly green plain look from the 60's)
    phils (distance 4th for me)

    Interesting. I love the blue stars. Pinstripes are just a classic baseball look. For some reason it's a Phillies tradition that the city name doesn't appear on the away jersey. I guess the name "Phillies" kind of makes it obvious.

    I'm a big fan of the Sixers unis even though I placed them 3rd. Our city has a fairly strong set.

    I forgot to mention. It was really fun to watch Broxton blow it again. I was trying to get a sing song "BROOOX-TOOON" chant going but nobody seemed to realize who he was. Our fans are morons.

    In this case your NY admiration is justified. I completely agree with you. I'd be shocked if they didn't get #1.

    I'm looking forward to the new Brooklyn Nets unis - all black & white. KISS - keep it simple stupid.

    I'd say they're easily top 5 in NHL. Maybe behind Toronto & Detroit and... nobody else.

    NY Rangers have maybe the most overrated unis in sports. Watch how high they get ranked.

    haha. wheels was saying something about all the big hits phils have gotten off him over the years. of course he forgot to mention rollins.

    I give mccarthy credit for knowing the game and sports in general. you can tell he follows all levels of the minors, mlb in general, and other sports. he sucks as a pbp guy but at least he knows his stuff. wheels is just a generic turd who spouts the same stupid fundamental stuff...as if he's talking to a team of 10 year old little leaguers.

    every time mccarthy asks wheels if he saw or heard about something not related to the phils mlb team wheels doesn't know. EVERY TIME

    I agree about the rangers. esp the unis with the ties at the top. I think those ties are awful.

    not a big fan of toronto. it's a big leaf. wow.

    I like chicago's in the NHL. flyers are up there though...def top 5. I love their old orange jerseys from the 80s

    Drove by the venue yesterday. This is going to be pretty sweet. They already had a whole bunch of tents up, including the DJ tent which is off to the right on the grass. Stage is starting to go up right at the Art Museum steps. The whole venue just looks sweet and got me pretty pumped.

    It looks like it would be tough to see from certain spots with all those trees (in that circle, I don't know what it's called), should be interesting. Either way though, I am pretty pumped.

    Saw one of the workers talking to a video camera as they were putting up some rigging. Wondered if it was part of the Ron Howard documentary.
