Time for some links, as we found out yesterday that the Seahawks got fancy new uniforms like what the Oregon Ducks wear, and everyone else got some pretty new fabric for their jerseys so they fit better. I just want to raid the clearance bin with all the Reebok jerseys right now.
Also, anyone else see Mike Smith make 54 saves for the Coyotes in the shutout win last night? Man, when he is in a groove like this it is a thing of beauty to watch him tend the net.

Word From the Birds Blog | A new uniform, not a new look
Nike finally unveiled its new uniforms today in Brooklyn for all the NFL teams. Other than the Seahawks, teams didn’t undergo massive changes to their looks — and that included the Cardinals. (Some teams couldn’t even if they wanted to, which I didn’t know.) I’ve been trying to tell those who have been asking there wouldn’t be a big change, although there still seemed to be some that were disappointed. That’s not saying the uniforms aren’t different.

Phoenix Coyotes goalie Mike Smith notches 3rd shutout in a row
Whether he was in his crouch or standing to let his 6-foot-4 frame cover the expanse of the net, it didn't matter. From each position, Mike Smith was unbeatable. That's been the trend as of late, and it couldn't have come at a more opportune time for the Coyotes. With their playoff hopes unclear only a week and a half ago, Smith grabbed that possibility and deemed it a clear reality with his play. Thanks to another perfect effort Tuesday night, this time a 2-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets in front of 13,263 at Jobing.com Arena in the home finale of the regular season, the Coyotes inched one step closer to booking a postseason berth.
Phoenix Suns top Sacramento Kings for key win
The Suns took a step toward the standings ladder Tuesday night to be in position to move up a rung Wednesday night. The Suns survived Sacramento power forward DeMarcus Cousins' career-high 41 points with a full-strength Steve Nash to get a 109-100 victory Tuesday night at Sacramento. The Suns can move past Utah for ninth place in the Western Conference if they can beat the Jazz Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.

The Nike literature regarding the new "Elite 51" uniforms made available to NFL teams Tuesday includes the following terms: technology, Thermoregulation, hydrophobic, aircraft-grade, zonal, articulated and Hyperfuse. Phil Knight's writers could have been describing spacesuits instead of football uniforms, except there's a lot more money to be made from the latter. Nike saved some of its most descriptive writing for the Seattle Seahawks' total uniform redesign, which has so far trumped subtler styling tweaks for the other 31 teams.
