DP Review on Knicks New Uniforms

courtesy: nyknicks.com Thought I was done with fashion, huh? Yeah, well, so did I to an extent. Despite my recent Pondering 10 ( Common Fashion Dislikes )   which threw a curve ball to you DP devotees (and also drew lots of feedback), rest assured, I have no plans in regularly attempting to analyze clothing, fashion, or the trending styles. Because well, I have no idea what they are. However, in honoring the impending the famous "Fashion Night Out" here in New York City, I'll take one more stab at reviewing some gear I'm a little bit more interested in - sports uniforms. I know, I know, typical guy. But hey, what do you want from me?  As an avid blogger and blog reader, I find myself following and reading blogs on an assortment of topics - even fashion. One of my favorite blogs which takes fashion and one of my loves, sports, and meshes them all together in a manly, but not-so-nerdy-or-metrosexual way is Uni-watch . In a nutshell, Uni-watch is a blog by Paul...

The Pondering 10 - Common Fashion Dislikes

I'm no fashion expert, and by no means am I credible enough to offer advice on trendy looks and what's currently in-style. After all, I am a six-foot five, two hundred-forty pound man that often shops through Big and Tall sections. And for those of you who are fashion bloggers and fashion fanatics, take a look at those Big and Tall areas at your local mall and see exactly what we have to work with. It's hard. And its tough. A Big and Tall fashion blog is desperately in need for us above-average in size folks. Nonetheless, I like to believe I make it work. However, what doesn't work are certain fashionable uses by individuals that simply bug the heck out of me. Some might agree, and others may find these to be ridiculous, but I'll leave that up to  you, and I'd love to hear feedback from the fashionably gifted. The following Pondering 10 are common fashion uses that I absolutely dislike.

Putting The Blame Where it Belongs in Gang Greenland

Several days later, I think Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow are still picking grass out of their facemasks.  And I know for sure, Jets fans and the football world are still groaning about the effort we all saw by the Jets at Metlife Stadium. What was that?! There is no need to rehash, repeat, or regurgitate all of the hoopla that has surrounded the New York Jets heading into this 2012 season. We all know the Jets are a mess, and have become every sports outlet's goldmine for debate and analysis. So far, the Jets are the gift that just keeps on giving in that aspect. And while the argument of Tebow versus Sanchez, or Sanchez versus Tebow, is the hot topic, the overall concern in Gang greenland is growing. We are getting to a point where there is serious concern over the team's ability and capabilities come September 9th, when these games begin to count.
