Mr. Sportsknowitall's year-end fashion review - Lincoln Journal Star

Dear Mr. Sportsknowitall: We the reading patrons understand you are not the director of the Journal Star fashion section. However, those NBA Christmas uniforms were the most hideous ever. What could be worse? J.H.


I'm glad to hear there are reading patrons out there. I should note that this column is best read in a printed form that arrives on your porch or the online version. You need a computer for the online edition, and you only need to bend over to get the print edition. I don't reach many of the artistic types or those who only look at pictures. And why wouldn't I be considered the fashion expert for Lincoln and most of Lancaster County, for that matter? The NBA Christmas Day uniforms were widely criticized and outright loathed by many. Almost as many people as those who can't stand the NBA. And what are you doing watching NBA on Christmas anyway? As for what could be worse? Well, there's Marshall in the Military Bowl, trying to coordinate green and white with red, white and blue stripes. Some folks even dislike the Pittsburgh Steelers' bumblebee throwback uniforms. Shows there is no accounting for taste and humor in uniforms. And for both of you NBA fans out there, just wait until Noche Latina and St. Paddy's day for more special uniforms. Personally, I thought Nebraska's basketball team looked like it stole the David City Scouts' uniforms for the game at Creighton.


Dear Mr. Sportsknowitall: When did the NBA start wearing intramural uniforms for games like they did on Christmas? W.D.B.


Jeez. Another NBA fan. Must have heard from both of them now. The Christmas Day uniforms did take on a city-league look — all Orange for the Knicks, all blue for the OKC Thunder. One time, when Mr. Sportsknowitall was much younger, he was given a green football helmet for Christmas. Now, being a little kid, growing up in Cincinnati and with the Cleveland Browns the only pro team around, I was a Browns fan. Otto Graham, Jim Brown, Lou "The Golden Toe" Groza. My mom used fingernail polish to put a No. 15 on the side of the green helmet. My dad explained that made it an official Otto Graham helmet, so it was the official Browns helmet. In the days of black-and-white TV, who knew?


Dear Mr. Sportsknowitall: What do you think about statistics? E.R.


Four out of five people suffer from indigestion and breaking wind. The other one seems to enjoy it.


Dear Mr. Sportsknowitall: Did this year seem to go by pretty fast? W.R.


As a famous wise man once said, "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like old bananas."
