OT: Uniformz! KISS Style!
Apparently Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley own an Arena Football team - the LA KISS. Their spin on UNIFORMZ is both awesome and crazy:
There are flames on the freaking visor, which is going to make the LA KISS running backs feel like they're storming through burning buildings.

thought KISS stood for "keep it simple, stupid."
These don't look very simple.

Actually its Kids In Satan's Service. Where were you in the 70s man?
Knights in Satan's Sanctuary...looks about right.
Satan's Service?
That's what my mom always told me.
Learn something new every day. Thanks! And I learn more from MGoBlog than anywhere else on the internet.
KISS stands for bad music. They are just a stage show.
to your screen name, you're attacking my childhood with that accusation. And a few other folks as well, methinks. To each his own with the music thing, I guess.

I just threw up in my mouth.
March 11th, 2014 at 11:31 AM ^
That is..... still less awful than most adidas uniform conceptz.
March 11th, 2014 at 11:33 AM ^
These look like they were taken from the trashcan of the 'Any Given Sunday' costume designer.

What did you say to Willie Beamen?
March 11th, 2014 at 11:55 AM ^
Steamin' Beamen looked fine. Other teams, however, made me wonder what exactly got rejected for being 'too ugly':

I wish them good luck in their All Pro Football 2K8 season.
March 11th, 2014 at 11:36 AM ^
But I just don't know about these bad boy uni's, even the font for the numbers. Is it supposed to be a number, a chalice or a vibrator?
But if the theme of Kiss was always to "be outrageous" then I guess that it does work for the owners at least.

Whenever I see old rock stars with their "rock'd out immage" still in tact, I like to imagine them with short hair, a suit, and working in the real world.
Mr. Stanley looks like a Plaintiff's attorney who specializes in trip-and-falls. He has his own commercial on late night tv.

"If anything bad has ever happened to you, you may be entitled to compensation...."
I read the above as if Stanley was singing it.

looks like the black haired version of that sleazeball ambulance chaser I see on the Detroit/UM/MSU sports broadcasts in the GR area. The only lawyer that has more exposure is Bernstein. Can't think of this other wanker's name though.

Are they sure their running backs won't feel like Hot Wheels instead?
March 11th, 2014 at 11:39 AM ^
You say uniformz, Gene says "outfits":

I don't think they look good. I also think "Kiss" is a dumb name for a football team.
March 11th, 2014 at 11:45 AM ^
than the (now defunct) minor league hockey team from Macon, Georgia...the Macon Whoopee.
March 11th, 2014 at 12:32 PM ^
Another sleepy honeymoon;
Another season, another reason,
For Macon Whoopee!!!
Catchy, but most of the people who recall the song are waaaaay beyond the target demographic.
That was an amazing team name. I had a Macon Whoopee jersey as a kid and wore it all the time without having any idea about the connotation. I am actually disappointed that I gave it away and have been looking for one on e-bay for the past few years.
March 11th, 2014 at 11:46 AM ^
I was hoping those would be Maryland unis.
said no to these.
March 11th, 2014 at 11:46 AM ^
If they play football as poorly as Gene Simmons writes songs, they'll be out of the league before the season finishes.

March 11th, 2014 at 11:59 AM ^

These are hideous and ridiculous at the same time

What no live bear fighting?
These are arena teams, you need to do things crazy, appeal to children, whatever to get anyone to come. I agree I prefer traditional uniforms especially for college. I'll give expansion teams and minor league teams a pass. I want to go there, watch the pitcher down a gallon of beer then throw a few innings for extra excitement. Or minor league hockey fights etc.

Needs moar neon colors.

Looks just like my car.
KISS-formz good
KISS has always been about being outrageous. This accomplishes that. I don't see what the big deal is. Great publicity for the team. People will go to the games because 1) it's cheap, 2) they love KISS (the band), 3) they love the unis, 4) they hate the unis and just want to see if they're as bad in real life, and 5) it's a novelty with a limited shelf life (most probably)
Give it a year.
