UniDiction 2011: Week 1 – Eagles vs. Rams
Look for me on Twitter (@dancfuller) where I’ll likely have a few uniform-related updates during today’s games. And we’re back. After three forays into Phillies throwbacks, we find ourselves back in the UniDiction wheelhouse… football uniforms. For catching up’s sake, the Eagles had no uniform-related news this off-season. No throwbacks like last year (boo) or 2007 (count your blessings), so it’s likely we’ll see the Black […]

How to be a Uniform Snob Part 2: Phillies vs. Padres (Throwbacks!)
From 2003 against the Pirates in solid yellow—ladies and gentlemen: your 1970s! The pictures with formal write-ups of the uniforms in question are from Bill Henderson’s excellent MLB Game Worn Jerseys of the Double-Knit Era. Buy it here. If you’re even remotely interested in the rest of this entry, this will be the best $25 […]

How to Be Uniform Snob: Phillies vs. Braves (1974 Throwbacks)
This is crosspost from Crossing Broad. Quick note: some of the pictures are from Uniwatch’s write-up of last year’s Phillies-Brewers throwback game as well as the excellent “MLB Game Worn Jerseys of the Double Knit Era” by Bill Henderson. Well then, other than the fact the Phillies got the “L,” that went pretty well, don’t you think? For the […]

Uniform Analysis: Phillies vs. Braves (Negro League Throwbacks)
This is crosspost from Crossing Broad. I usually stick to NFL uniforms and snide remarks in the comments, but the Phillies have a …UniTastic weekend series against the Braves, wearing Negro League throwbacks on Saturday and 1974 throwbacks on Sunday, so here’s a quick run-down and review for Saturday’s game. Some comments about Sunday’s game later. Unfortunately, […]

The Empty Bookshelf Guide to the 2010 Oscars
This won’t be a guide to all of the awards, but we’ll get through all of the important ones. I’m structuring this as an “Empty Bookshelf Guide” and selectively using the royal “we,” though I’ve not consulted with the Junior Staff for their opinions. The format will be listing the ten Best Picture nominees, and […]

UniDiction – Wildcard Weekend – Eagles vs. Packers
Well, like the real Eagles, I didn’t end with the right kind of streak, but if the NFC West has taught us anything, anyone can make the playoffs this year. (and FYI, I had a better record than the Seahawks). We’ve seen the Eagles play the Packers already this year, but thankfully, unlike last week’s […]

UniDiction: Week 17 – Eagles vs. Cowboys
Blech. Like a huffy, post game Andy Reid, let’s just say I don’t want to talk about last week. In fact, it was the worst uniform upset of the season. So, that leads us to Week 17, when there’s a good chance the games won’t matter. And true to form, that’s what we get this year. The […]

UniDiction: Week 16 – Eagles vs. Vikings
So, it turns out that White is not really in either team’s official color scheme… Another week, another win. When will the Pro Bowl of unlikely prediction systems be held? Simply, the Vikings have one of the least loved uniforms in all of sports. The reason is they’ve got two big things working against them. […]

UniDiction: Week 15 – Eagles vs. Giants
Luckily, I take credit for a win no matter how close the predicted score is to the actual score, so that Cowboys game was another in the win column, thank you very much. So, we’re at the second Giants game of the year. I got the first one pretty much spot-on, so let’s see what […]

UniDiction: Week 14 – Eagles vs. Cowboys
Called it. 9-4. Maybe it’s not the biggest game of the season in terms of records, but it’s Eagles/Cowboys, so it’s always an event. Throughout the previous 13 weeks of UniDictions, I’ve made numerous references to the concept of “White at Home” teams, and now that the Redskins have broken their “rule” and brought out […]
