I know Tim's been beyond the weeds on this, read all about my boyhood club, Pants Store FC.

I must say, these are sharp-looking.

In addition to the kits I also made scarves. Scurry on over to @oliveandyork.com and buy some. They are pretty cool IMO. oliveandyork.com/collections/...

What a wonderful moment in Cardinals history. Hey who’s that sore loser standing in the background of the photo?

👀 We love ourselves a historically referenced kit that has been modernized. Love this 🔥

Six years of holding Missouri's powerful accountable. A growing newsroom, a bigger reach — and none of it happens without you. #moleg #mogov

Doing important journalism (eating burger so I can write about it)

Tim and I started joking about Pants Store FC stuff a decade ago when I stumbled across it on the PD archives. It’s become a bit of a meme with Tim putting in crazy legwork to research the club and their kits.

ASU Goes About Its Business in 5-0 Opening Day Win The spirit band was in full force and the cheerleaders were peppy; you’d be excused for thinking the season opener between Arizona State and Lindenwood at Centene...

I did a little hockey writing last night

Hey @dancreel.com I was doing some research and found an early usage of the term "soccer war" you might be interested in. From the February 13th, 1925, edition of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:

This will cut into the practice time Damet had set up for next week, but the makeup day is the only one that wouldn't give City SC 4 straight weeks with Wednesday games. www.stltoday.com/sports/profe...

This is a national disgrace
