MR. COLOREDWELL'S SPORTS FASHION REPORT

Okay, first let's get caught up with my March notes, of which there were only 2, and both Toronto-based...

Finally got a look at the Maple Leafs in March, and as expected they are fabulous. And the Raptors wore green the day before St Patty's. But they still had that half-belt crap like the Mavs. What a waste.

And then just this afternoon...Ick. The Celtics in green with black trim, including spooge. Ick. It's so bad I had to give a win to Miami. And I hate Miami!

Yes, the rumours are true, I've been taking notes on Major League Baseball unis. What am I, goofy?! To be fair, most of the baseball teams are actually dressing quite well. Lots of block numbers and not a speck of spooge. Here's my notes so far...

The Cleveland Indians have some very good throwbacks this year. Creamy goodness!

The Milwaukee Brewers were in throwbacks April 8. How great is their old mitt logo? A classic! So, of course, they ditched

it for their current shitty look.

The Atlanta Braves have a very nice red jersey for Sunday games.

Now, a quick review of college basketball unis during March Madness...

Top 9 best-dressed, in alphabetical order:
CLEMSON: Orange with purple trim, lovely colors.
DUKE: No mistakes in white. (Didn't see them in blue.)
GEORGETOWN: The light is grey, follow the path.
MCNEESE STATE: Yellow with blue trim, very cute.
MOREHEAD STATE: Looking good in blue, but they'd make the list on the name alone!
NORTH CAROLINA: Didn't get to see their light blue uni, but it still looks good as trim on white.
OHIO STATE: The light is grey, follow the path.
PURDUE: In gold, priceless.
UCLA: Either in blue or white, with gold trim, Bruins look just as awesome as in football.
All the above had block numbers and no spooge. We have a 3-way tie for 10th with a few problems:
BUTLER: In white their one flaw emerged, a bit of blue spooge on the shorts, which I then noticed was just barely detectable on their black uni.
RICHMOND: The Spideys looked good in blue or white, but in red they had spooge.
WASHINGTON STATE: The light is grey, follow the path. But lose the occasional "COUGS" on the front. It's just dumb.

As for the worst-dressed, ugly number fonts and spooge were rampant, so there were plenty of candidates to choose from. But the one uni that drooped far below the rest was the disgusting droopy-drawers look of...
WOFFORD

MR. COLOREDWELL'S MARCH MADNESS FINAL FOUR FASHION REPORT

Let's get these off my plate while I work on a full report which I hope to post Sunday...

NIT FINAL FOUR:

WASHINGTON STATE (grey) VS WICHITA STATE (black)
Both blocks. Wich has spooge. "Cougs" is back...ick. Still, Wash follows the Path.
WINNER: WASHINGTON STATE

COLORADO (grey) VS ALABAMA (red)
Col follows the Path, but with italic blocks and leg crap. Bama looks good in red, no spooge. Non-blocks but they're not

ugly.
WINNER: ALABAMA

NIT FINAL: ALABAMA (white) VS WICHITA STATE (black)
Bama's non-blocks beat Wich's spooge.
WINNER: ALABAMA

NCAA FINAL FOUR:
BUTLER (white) VS VCU (black)
Both blocks. Spooge on Butler? Ick! But VCU's is much worse.
WINNER: BUTLER

CONNECTICUT (white) VS KENTUCKY (blue)
Both have side crap. UConn has a bad font, KY has blocks and nice shade of blue.
WINNER: KENTUCKY

NCAA FINAL: CONNECTICUT (white) VS BUTLER (black)
No surprises here. Knew going in Butler's black and blocks would beat UConn's ugly skinny numbers and leg crap.
WINNER: BUTLER

Out of respect for the late Roger Abbott, Mr. Coloredwell's next report will be posted later this week. Meanwhile, please enjoy the tribute clips below.
