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, […]

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 […]

UniDiction: Week 13 – Eagles vs. Texans
OK, so maybe last week wasn’t my finest. I could invoke the “score wraps to zero every 28 points” clause, but that’d just be sad. My (and the Eagles’) loss makes the system 7-4. Next up, the Texans. My process for doing these UniDiction usually involves scouring the Internet for pictures of the various uniform […]

UniDiction: Week 12 – Eagles vs. Bears
Another close one last week; me: Eagles 26 – Giants 14, real-life: Eagles 27 – Giants 17. That makes the system 7-3. I don’t have a great feeling about this week’s game. The Eagles are in White over Green, and they’re playing against another one of the “classic” NFL uniforms this week in the […]
