Shock game today vs. the worst uniforms in the league

Boise has never been known for its excellent uniform choices. I mean it is the same city that gave us the Smurf turf and the uniforms to match it at Boise State University. (And seriously guys, I will stand by the Idaho Vandals long before I ever root for the Broncos. Even if they go winless the next ten years. Which could actually happen).

Now their af2 team, which plays Spokane tonight at 7 p.m. in the Spokane Arena, is no better. Check out those duds above. I mean it's workable if you're a crossing guard or something but you'd think somebody would have brought it up in a board meeting with team ownership that you can't stare at the uniforms for more than like two seconds before your eyes start bleeding.

And brown helmets? Shiny brown helmets? This reminds me of that Dane Cook stand up where he says "Somebody s*** on the coats." Apparently somebody did the same to the helmets in the Boise Burn equipment room.

The team itself is actually quite good, they're ranked seventh in the Coaches Poll and are second in the West Division behind Spokane at 4-1. However, the Shock have already beaten the Burn in their home stadium 63-45. That was two weeks ago as Boise committed five turnovers.

Don't forgot to check in with Just South of North, as we'll have Dylan Kitzan running the live game blog!
