Dope Sports Threads - New WNBA "Rebel" Uniforms

Nike dropped new "Rebel" uniforms for the WNBA earlier this week. I can get on my soapbox and rant about how some teams in sports are losing their identities, but I'll save that for another post. 

The following are some of my favorite design concepts for the "Rebel" line. 



WNBA Rebel Edition Uniforms - Dallas Wings

There is a simplicity to these that is extraordinary. These are my favorites in the entire concept for that very reason. 




WNBA Rebel Edition Uniforms - Golden State Valkyries

The Valkyries have something special in their design. In the current landscape of sports, it's difficult to own something truly unique - they have that. In this "Rebel" line, these designs further (and protect) that concept. 




Portland Fire Rebel Edition

Personally I find the [enter alternate name for city] usage to entering a space of being overdone. However, in this concept, it still feels authentic and unforced. Most importantly, the rose sublimation pattern is so freakin' cool. 



WNBA Rebel Edition Uniforms - Minnesota Lynx

The Lynx will always bring back awesome memories of Maya Moore for me. 

Regardless of all of that, these are sleek, and I love the way the "Lynx" pops. 




WNBA Rebel Edition Uniforms - New York Liberty

I don't know how I feel about these. It's my hometown Liberty, and "New York" works so well with the Liberty color scheme. "Brooklyn" across the chest, I understand, because they play in the Barclays Center, but it also feels off. 

Then again...I sort of like them. Ehhhh.

By the way, Liberty Mutual, as the official sponsor, is about as perfect a partnership in sports sponsorship as you can get.

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

The Pondering 10 - Yankees All-Decade Team for 2010s

I thought I would stay away from the "all-decade" shenanigans, but I got suckered in after all. Around here, end of year rankings, reviews, and reflections rule, so why not compose a list that embodies it all? And why not put together a list around my beloved Yankees? Especially in a decade in which they DID NOT win the World Series. Gasp! With all of that said, please see below not only my list of the Yankees All-Decade Team (because everyone can filter by position), but also by importance and contribution throughout the decade.

TNA Lockdown 2026 Review: "Sign me up for more Order 4 drama"

Lockdown turned into a really fun show for me. And that always was the case when the event was a normal thing. It's had its historic clunkiness (electric cage match anyone?), but that's pro wrestling, baby! But seriously, Lockdown didn't feel like much until the last few weeks. Maybe it was the creative change, but the show came about with a strong undercard over several weeks carried (in my opinion) by Mustafa Ali vs. Jason Hotch and Cedric Alexander vs. Leon Slater. The main event felt more so on name value than storyline, but that didn't carry too much through the night.  For me, the main event of this was always Mustafa Ali vs. Jason Hotch, and that did not disappoint.   --- Random Tidbits Lots of "cage" talk going into this one, and quite honestly, it was warranted. TNA went years - YEARS! - without a cage match, likely for budgeting and logistical reasons. We saw a really rough-looking cage before TNA gave us an updated version that also served as a nod ...
