With the World Cup finale happening today, and for probably the only time until 2018 that most people in North America will be paying attention to anything soccer*-related, it’s a good time to discuss the world of sports aesthetics and, specifically, how hockey and soccer compare to each other. (Just a note, this post is going to […]

This morning the Swedish 2014 Olympic Jersey were unveiled (click here if you speak Swedish, here if you can’t), and while Nike still added their absolutely ridiculous glossy features to the jersey (I’m looking at you fake laces), the overall design is pretty nice.

In 1976, the Kansas City Scouts moved to Denver to become the Colorado Rockies, until 1982 when they moved again to New Jersey to become the Devils. For six years, […]
