What separates the “throwbacks” from the “throw ups” of modern sports kits?
Every weekend is a retro uniform weekend somewhere. And every “refresh” of iconic brands is a chance to deal with the fashion feedback of the sports universe. Sports logo artist and historian Todd Radom, who is always our “go-to” when it’s time to talk laundry and loyalties, takes Nestor to school on fashion faux pas and retro statements of glory and epic failure.
So, what do we expect from Craig Albernaz in Baltimore?
Is it the job of the Orioles manager to recruit the community? Well, someone or something has to be a part of driving the Baltimore baseball brand forward this offseason. Luke Jones and Nestor welcome new skipper Craig Albernaz and discuss their hopes for improvements and acquisitions in this offseason that Mike Elias will be judged daily on progress.
Can we trust an “honest” mistake from an inherently dishonest organization?
The fiasco over putting Lamar Jackson as a “full” participant on a Friday afternoon injury report when he ran scout team and they knew he wasn’t going to start on Sunday has just begun for John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens. His “excuse” was far less than believable as Luke Jones and Nestor also take general manager Eric DeCosta to task for pushing the gambling line five points on a Saturday in the NFL with pretty blatant dishonesty and “gamesmanship” for no one.
