I have to agree. I've always said white over gold for our away uniforms, but that is pretty nice. Can we just throw away the ugly gold/yellow jerseys?

I like that former players enjoy seeing their pics included in the countdown. Many more have RTd as well of this thread. It's fun. Not everything needs to be so serious.

+1. Love seeing when former players acknowledge the countdown when their number and picture is included.

I also think it's pretty neat when current and former players show their excitement by joining in on the fun. Makes them seem just as giddy as the rest of us rubes!!
