It was an episode which we started with a vague blue print, but knew it would just go where it was meant to go. The blueprint was that the huge news of the Washington Football Team finally settling on a new nickname after rightly ditching the racist name and imagery it had long fought to keep in 2020 - so with ramifications in the jersey and wider sports world, we have a bit of a gab about it!
We talk about many things regarding the Commanders, and the wider sports landscape as to the future of some other team names and imagery, and the hows and why's of when a change may be necessary, and when things may just be okay. Listen to the ep for the in depth!
ALSO: TikTok mentioned/played on pod below, for clarity and lafs.
TOP TEN SOCCER JERSEY SALES FOR 2021
Jersey sales data for soccer kits in 2021 was released recently, and led to a great discussion as to where some teams placed in the list - the reasons for some powerhouses ranking somewhat lower, why some big recent teams still struggle to crack the big time, and why some smaller teams punch above their weight with the help of mercurial talent.
HOT KITS // COLD KITS
COLD KIT - PATTY MAHOMES & THE FIRE HOUSE CHIEFS
Sorry Pat Mahomes - we were all over you last episode, but after the calamity against a VERY good Bengals side, Mahomes has to take the L. It was a mess in many ways, but Mahomes played a large part in the loss and with great praise, comes great criticism when it goes bad.
HOT KITS - CINCINNATI BENGALS, JOEY FUCKIN' BRRRR, & JOHNNY RICO, IS THAT YOU?
The flip-side of the Mahomes loss is that the Bengals and Joe Burrow extended an incredible run, heading to the Super Bowl and looking great doing it. Little bit of Starship Troopers about them, too.
HOT KITS ALSO RANS
Matt Stafford & Deebo Samuel, for two different reasons - Stafford after a career of losing at the Detroit Lions, now one win away from a ring. Deebo Samuel just for being dope as fuck.
HOT/COLD KIT - BLAZERS
This was just Shea's excuse to rant at my tanking position, so listen here brotheeerrrrr... fuck off, bring the tank.
