Alright...

Alright I'll admit it. I haven't been blogging as much as I'd like to. I thought after the tournament I'd be back, but as you can see, it just didn't happen. So right now, I'll pinkie-promise that I'll try to make (at the bare minimum) one post a week. I want to blog more, it's true, but if I can find the time I will. Don't worry...I'm still here and I am going to propose a new format for this blog. Each month there will be a new sport that I find cool and intresting stuff to share with you guys. At the end of each month I will take 32 of the sports coolest jerseys and (if possible hats) and put them into a tournament. Soccer is already done, but I will have a new competition for them when their month comes. After all the sports are done, the top 6 or so from each sport will compette for the best jersey/ hat of the year. 

Here is the list of the months and sports:
September: Baseball
October: Football
November: Hockey
December: Basketball
January: Soccer

I know there are only 5 sports that I chose but I think they are the only ones that have jerseys and hats so if there is another sport that I missed post a comment and I'll look into it.

On a side note, the blue Arsenal jersey I showed, and hated, well let's just say I had a change of heart and I love it now, and it's in my closet. It's actually really cool. But I'll see you guys Monday.

This Is Almost It

This is  almost it for the soccer ideas, but there is one more post for soccer...until awhile anyway, so today were showing the final, we will not be showing the winner until Friday, which is tomorrow. So are we ready? Is that a yes? Let's get down to business.

IT'S THE FINAL
1B MANCHESTER UNITED (NEW) (A) vs. 3C ARSENAL (NEW) (H) 



 This is it, it may not be the hardest choice, but it is still a challenging decision. They both go back to an earlier time period, where soccer was a different game, ad jerseys didn't have sponsors. First, we'll explain the Arsenal. The Arsenal jersey dates back to 125 years age, where "Foward" was their motto, which was incorperated nicely, in the logo, which looks like this:
As an Arsenal fan, I can proudly say the I like this logo and it's pretty cool. It has the orignal year, when Arsenal was founded, as the Royal Arsenal. It logo is basically red and silver, which looks very nice, but there is one small problem with the overal idea, what happens after New Year's, 2012, they still will be wearing them, not so sm thart, but I still like it. Next, is Manchester United. Man U is my second favorite EPL team behind, the Arsenal that is. So the black and blue isn't as storied as their traditional green and yellow, which can be seen on some scarves by the hard core fans, but the stripes look like a sideways Inter jersey, but i do still like it, the gold patches will look nice on it, so will 125 beat 19? We find out tomorrow.

Final 4

The Final 4 is here...FINALLY it took so long to get here, and it will not be disappointing, you can say it's the opposite of my spelling, but anyway here we go...sorry, my computer got a virus, and I couldn't access the internet so I'll post this one and the next one


1A Club America (T) loses to 1B Manchester United (NEW) (A)

3C Arsenal (NEW) (H) def 6D Celtic (A)


That's it for today, so yeah we now have 2, the two will fight for top prize...it's a secret.

On the side...

On the side we have new pictures of the NEW Arsenal away kit by Nike, before I say anything negative, i do like the colors, that's about it though. You can decide for yourself:

I don't like the triange running across the side of the jersey, like it looks awful, and the opposite sleeve the same color? Jeeze Nike, the Arsenal don't wanna look like morons, but with the new kit...they do. I may be wrong with this, because most of the fans love it, but it sucks. I don't like it, but it doesn't mean you have too. This is TOWO signing off
