More info about these jerseys.

 

[Darkwebs]

We will debut our new brown "City" uniforms on TNT. Hopefully, we come away with a victory, as well.

The Sixers will want payback for that embarrassing loss our third stringers put on a week ago.

Let's do this like 1977!

 

[Darkwebs]

Introducing your Oregon State Trail Beavers!

 

[Tince]

I feel like the outcome of this game is all too predictable given what happened last week.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Philly barely won in Sacramento tonight - the way this season is going around the league, you never know what you're getting out of most teams on any night.

the Kings had won 4 in a row and 7 of their last 8. They've turned into a tough out...kind of like Phoenix, or New Orleans

seven western conference teams have gone 6-4 over their last 10 games; Blazers have gone 5-5, like the Warriors. Wacky season so far

I'm kind of surprised Dallas is struggling as much as they are

 

[THE HCP]

We crushed them a week ago so we should crush them again!!!! Right?

 

[Strenuus]

I actually really like those jerseys.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I actually really like those jerseys.

Me too

 

[stampedehero]

I voted 4 on the scale. Throw them in the corner with the Steelers bee and the 70's Padres unis.

 

[TBpup]

Those things are ugggggly. Looks like the stripper was drunk putting those on the side. And crap brown?

 

[MickZagger]

Must. Win.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Are you testing us again, with that photo of CJ above Trent's name?

 

[Jon]

those uni's are fucking gross. BRING BACK THE PLAID!!!!

 

[Darkwebs]

Are you testing us again, with that photo of CJ above Trent's name?

Um, yes it was a test

 

[wizenheimer]

I like the uniform, but only because it says Oregon, rather than Portland. Gives all the Blazer fans that don't live in Portland some props

 

[illmatic99]

Even if I can begrudgingly accept that red/black are not on it, why is there no green at all?




The key aspect of Oregon landscape is green. The freaking license plate has a tree on it.

How do you miss so badly?

 

[THE HCP]

Um, yes it was a test

So sad...... I understand DarkWing that we have injuries, but you can't use that as an excuse bro.

 

[THE HCP]

My boy who owns an apparel company called Grafletics should sue the team! These are his designs from awhile back.

Where's the similarities? The colors? Font is different and use of the colors within the design is different.

 

[THE HCP]

First of all it was a joke. Secondly, the mountains on the side are identical. I was kidding Perry Mason.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I'm sure it's supposed to be representative of a mountain range, but it looks like a seismograph. The Oregon Earthquakes!!

Let's do this like 1977!

That 1977 Philadelphia roster was loaded.

Didn't they have any injured players?

 

[Scalma]

Easy win

 

[Darkwebs]

So sad...... I understand DarkWing that we have injuries, but you can't use that as an excuse bro.

You're right, that's no excuse. I admit I've been making too many errors lately. I wouldn't mind someone taking over the game thread-making duties. Perhaps it's time for a new voice.

 

[THE HCP]

You Rang FAMS!!??

 

[THE HCP]

You're right, that's no excuse. I admit I've been making too many errors lately. I wouldn't mind someone taking over the game thread-making duties. Perhaps it's time for a new voice.

I believe you are similar to Melo, you will end up in the thread making HOF, but you just aren’t as efficient as you once were.

 

[blazerkor]

Um, yes it was a test
