The Nike NOT Christmas Pack Christmas Sneakers
Since writing the definitive recap of the five years of Nike’s Christmas Pack, this site has been inundated with traffic associated with searches for… why people in the United States say cheers instead of goodbye.

So, I know the immediate reaction is to say “how gross!” but let’s just get it out there that not wearing deodorant is significantly more gross, and, hey, being a human is gross. I’m writing this review to address a few outcomes of a typical search for this issue: Most articles mention that it’s the […]

The Nike Basketball Christmas Pack 2010-2015. An Overview.
What?! They have Christmas sneakers now? Yep. Kids these days. Seems like they could use some holiday opinion-ing. Nike’s basketball branch has been releasing a “Christmas Pack” every year since 2010. Each of their “signature” athletes gets a Christmas colorway. From 2010, that’s been Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant. Though he had a “Christmas” […]

Here’s the Phillies 2012 Stars & Stripes Hat (Minus any Stars & Stripes)
As has been the pattern since 2008, Major League Baseball will be using special hats for Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and September 11 as part of their “Stars & Stripes” program. Mixing the design up every year, they’re actually eschewing the namesake “stars and stripes,” replacing them with a digital camouflage pattern. (Let me say […]

This Week in Yinzer Fashion: 2012 Steelers Throwbacks
from the Steelers.com Gallery of the Press Conference Adding one last dig to our neighbors to the west before tonight’s (hopefully) decisive hockey game, the Steelers did us a favor showcased their new-for-2012 throwbacks yesterday. Yikes. Gone is the 60s-inspired alternate with its trademark yellow helmet. I never loved the previous throwback, but they were perfectly harmless, and a nice […]

Breaking Down The 2012 NFL/Nike Uniform Unveiling
I’m really, really surprised Kyle managed to not open his earlier article with one of his patented, lengthy comparisons between some sports-related event and some (hypothetical) relationship or “girl” story with expectations as high as they were. It would’ve practically written itself. Of course, the high expectations were generated completely by Nike (and some widely circulated fan renderings made in the […]

UniDiction 2011: Week 14 – Eagles vs. Dolphins and Week 13 Round-Up
I lost; the Eagles lost. It was an ugly game for every possible reason. Let’s just not talk about it. Week 13 Round-Up The Buccaneers wore their Creamsicle throwbacks against the Panthers, which are ugly, but in that “so bad it’s good, but no more than twice a season, please” sort of way. […]
