Alright, after dissecting the horrid array of Philly sports attire, we can move on to the second installment, which is obviously, the 10 best uniforms in Philly sports history. Some of these were easy, some were tough, but I’m sure there will be opinions about all. Here we go… 1. Philadelphia Flyers, 1967-Present The Flyers are the easy choice for #1. They are the only Philly team that got it right from the start, and then kept it relatively the same throughout the history of the franchise. The Flyers uniform features both a unique and cool logo (its a “p” with wings AND a ... Read Full Story

OK - well, our blog has been a little too “newsy” recently for my taste, so I’m starting a new Best/Worst of Philly segment that should generate some good discussion. My idea for the first segment, uniforms, came immediately after Elton Brand’s press conference, when instead of the current Sixers jersey , he raised an updated version of the old red, white and blue version.

While I’ve been engulfed in my MLB Preview , a whole bunch of things have happened in Philly sports that I felt I should comment on, but didn’t have the time to write a whole post on. So I’m gonna do what I can here in bullet point form. Please hold back your excitement. - The Asante Samuel signing was very interesting to me. It was a typical Eagles move to draft/sign someone at a position that they did not need help. However, I’m certainly happy this guy is an Eagle. He is an upgrade over Lito Sheppard in that he will stay on ... Read Full Story
