The best unis in the NFL are the Raiders home blacks and the Lions throwbacks (and the bears orange numbers on blue aren't bad either). And in CFB, Michigan, Penn State, Alabama, and USC are among the best.<br /><br />One thing that you failed to mention in the post is that Steve Yzerman is the GM of the Lightning. I have to imagine that he has a lot to do with this decision.mjvhttp://wolverineliberationarmy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-41390969704034990572011-02-10T21:08:09.917-05:002011-02-10T21:08:09.917-05:00Nice post.

I like their color scheme, especially the blue home unis, but their logos need to go back to the drawing board.<br /><br />Secondly, we need a new owner, not a group of owners (Atlanta Spirit). You know its bad when the owners had to sue their own law firm for a contract that made it tough for them to attempt to sell the team.jimmy_dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073760682386657323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-86652850010427248502011-02-10T16:59:29.556-05:002011-02-10T16:59:29.556-05:00You forget about Hamilton, Ontario - which is righ...You forget about Hamilton, Ontario - which is right in the heart of Leaf country and would easily sell out every game - people there are hockey crazy. <br /><br />The only reason why they don't have a team yet? Rights issues with Buffalo and the fact the NHL wants to charge a hefty expansion fee.<br /><br />History should be on Hamilton's side. They had an NHL team back in 20's and won a championship in their final year. A players strike resulted in a dissolution of the franchise, with the players being sold to a new team in New York City.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
