Field Theory by Hadyn Green

Yeah but more importantly, when's the Puppy Bowl?

The Jon Stewart clip is hilarious, as are the uniforms. I wonder if they get a bonus for wearing them....

Oh GOD, it's American football season again. It comes around every year so *quickly*. Sigh.

Possibly the only sport where the uniform is in the name.

That excludes teams named for their uniforms (red sox etc.). And they don't wear polos to play polo do they?

Surely there's something else ... at the very least a 'sport' with nude in its name?

Wow, the things I learn on a Sunday morning. Polo shirts are named after the sport (naturally) and though the originals were similar to the tennis shirt designed by Lacoste they were made of a heavier fabric. So Lacoste's light weight design was adopted instead.

The term polo shirt, which previously only had referred to the long-sleeved buttoned-down shirts traditionally used in polo, soon became a universal moniker for the tennis shirt; no later than the 1950s, it was in common usage in the U.S. to describe the shirt most commonly thought-of as part of formal tennis attire. Indeed, tennis players often would refer to their shirt as a "polo shirt," notwithstanding the fact that their sport had used it long before polo did.

As for nude sport (it's a Wikipedia link).

when's the Puppy Bowl?

Every year during halftime of the Superbowl on Animal Channel (and on webcam)

Oh GOD, it's American football season again. It comes around every year so *quickly*. Sigh.

I know! isn't it aweso... oh, sorry.

And let's not forget why the All Blacks are called the All Blacks.

Or that useless cricket team named the Blackcaps.

Or that useless cricket team named the Blackcaps.

No, they're the BLACKCAPS

I *heart* Jon Stewart. Wonderful juxtapositioning.

@Yamis @LegBreak weren't they named that after a Clear ad competition in the mid 90's?

@ Naly

Yes they were.

But the capitalisation is more recent than that, and was implemented when no-one was looking.

It has even spread to the provincial teams too; the ACES, STAGS etc...

It hurts.

It hurts.

Time to move on my friend. That bitterness inside will only leave you twisted and unable to form any healthy relationships with a cricket team in the future.
