Those Thrashers jerseys don't look all that bad anymore - 10-13-08
Life is all about perspective. You might feel poor making
$50,000 in comparison to someone pulling in $80,000. But to another person only
earning $30,000, you might as well be a millionaire.
So when EN reader Gareth Langley of Southampton, U.K.
recently e-mailed us with some information about the uniforms of a French rugby
team, our perspective on the Reebok
Edge-Super-Duper-Mega-Ultra-Awesome-Humungo-Women-Will-Want-You Uniform System jerseys changed quite a bit.
"Paris Rugby team Stade Francais have just released a new
third strip to go with their two "alluring and fabulous" home and away kits.
Home Kit:
Away Kit:
These two are bad enough, just think of props, with
physiques similar to offensive linemen wearing
those two jerseys before they hit you with this 'Warhol
Inspired' jersey:
I just hope that the guy who designed this is planning to
make any jerseys in the USA."
-Gareth Langley
EN says:
Dear Lord those are hideous. We will never complain about
the Reebok Edge-Super-Duper-Mega-Ultra-Awesome-Humungo-Women-Will-Want-You
Uniform System jerseys again.
(OK, maybe not.)
For good measure, we found an action shot of one of Stade Francais in action:
