The Redskins and Cowboys are just following long-time tradition. I'm old enough to remember when most high school and some college football teams wore white at home. The NHL did that to sell jerseys. I'm thinking there will be even more "third" jerseys - like the Hurricanes adding a black one - and a return to the occasional "reverse jersey" night. Then the absolute diehard fans need to spend $500 to be able to match the team.

les habitants du montreal... the habs. here's a cut and paste job that tells more:\n\nThe most often asked question about the Montreal Canadiens is what does the nickname " Habs " mean. \n\nLegend wants it that the "H" on the Canadiens logo stands for "Habs" instead of Club de Hockey Canadien. The fable began in 1924 when US reporter Tex Rickard was falsely informed by someone that the "H" stood for "habitant", a french word that in those days was used to refer the farmers of Quebec. \n\nRickard was told that the french players on the team came from farms and were therefore, "habitants". At the time, the Canadiens were viewed upon as the french team of Montreal, whereas the Montreal Maroons were the English team.

I used to think this was like tearing down the goalposts. Hey, it's destruction of property. It's all the same thing, right? Um, no. Not even close. It looks like NC State was the first team to do this back in 1947. I've wondered where this tradition started. Now I know!

Because Dirk Nowitski is becoming an icon. Superstarts are known for their first names, not their last names. If i rolled off Shaq, Lebron,  Scottie, Charles, and Dirk, you would know who I was talking about. But if I said Earl, Darrell, and Tim who would you think of? Earl Cambell or boykins. Darrel Dawkins or Griffith. Legler or Hardaway. They are big time. Dirk is big time.

It was renamed in 1971.  Was originally called the World Championship Game Trophy.  Hope it helps

A Franchise Player is a player that is expected to play their entire career with one team.  The Management builds the teams around these players.  Jagr WAS NOT a franchise player for the pens, nor was he expected to be.  Lemieux, modano, yzerman, sakic...etc...these players are/were not expendable as far as the GM and ownership is concerned and will more than likely never be traded

Although I am not from Pittsburgh, I wanna take a shot at it... :D \n\nThe City of Pittsburgh's official flag is black and gold.\n\nThe last team to adopt the Black and Gold colours was the Pittsburgh Penguins who adopted the colours at the begining of the 1971 season.

I hate how the NBA promotes the superstar of each team and not the whole team.  \n\nFor example, "Come see Kobe and the Lakers as they play the Shaq and the Heat!"  when they should be saying Lakers vs. Heat.  We all know who the superstar is.  It is a team sport.\n\nThere is no "I" in team.  Although Kobe could say "There is no team without "me".

The not so famous Yankees player Jason Eckman. He held up the ballon and it was in the year 2000. Though He is given point for that he is wrong.

Many people are sad like you and me. He was a legend. He was a charismatic individual as well as a great coach. He was the fifth all-time winningest coach. The out pour of grief has been amazing, and it's ironic that it happened while he was talking about tomorrows game at a TV studio here in Detroit. He will be sorely missed. Also, his last name is Schembechler, but he will always be know as BO. RIP BO!
