This 2009 official AFL commercial is epic. When I went to my first footy game, I remember thinking “Man, these guys are going at it pretty roughly and they don’t even wear protective gear”. Subsequently, that made me think pretty highly of these athletes especially when compared to their American counterparts.
In this ad, AFL players are put up against some of the roughest sports players in other sports leagues and they still manage to stand out. Awesome.

I first heard about the new Boston Red Sox logo from Brand New and upon further investigation, I came across some images of the new uniforms from The Red Sox Insider blog.
I really don’t follow baseball at all so I really have no sentiments toward any particular team, but I do know about the baseball rivalry that exists between New Yorkers and Bostonians. I honestly could care less about it, but fanatics of both cities think it’s something to get riled up about, so I just let those people have their say while my mind goes to sleep mode.
Anyway, I saw the new logo and immediately thought how wonderful it was and refreshing to see a baseball logo renewed and refreshed. The new logos aren’t replacing the old classic logos at all, but rather just serving as a supplement for the team while the team is on the road. The Red Sox Insider has a breakdown of when the new jerseys will be used.
I really think the hat shown above is pretty fantastic. It’s simple and it makes use of an iconic sports logo that has stood for decades in history. If you like it too, you can purchase the new duds at the MLB shop.

This is hilarious. Apparently, all advancements in Australian history have been the direct cause of footy. [via]
Anyway, this ad celebrates 150 years of the Australian Football League. I guess my timing was spot-on when I purchased that Western Bulldogs pom pom beanie earlier this week. YAY!

MSNBC has a fantastic year in pictures (2007) slideshow that’s open for viewing. The slideshow is split into three main categories — space, news, and sports — and each one contains stunning visuals with moving narration and captions.
So far, this is the best year in photos compilation I’ve seen from any major news website. I love that it’s got audio with every single image. It makes the experience of viewing the photos a lot more interesting and captivating. Many of these stories I posted about on Doobybrain.com at least once during the course of 2007.
I’ve re-posted some of my favorites from the “news” section inside (if anyone cares). Be sure to check out the space photos and the sports photos as well!
