Pass or Fail ?

Are Florida Everblades' holiday jerseys worst of 2010?
Please do not adjust the contrast settings on your screen: The ECHL's Florida Everblades wore these adventures in color on Friday night against the Greenville Road Warriors, losing the game and their dignity; and on Saturday night for their annual Teddy Bear Toss, which resulted in another defeat.
Puck Buddy Lady Byng sent over the images above featuring Blades forward Cedric Lalonde-McNicoll(notes) and Jared Staal(notes). From the Lady:
Aside from being a terrible neon green the socks match the jersey, even down to the happy holidays on the knees. It might be hard to see, but there's a snowflake pattern.
Here's the back of the sweater, via Naples Daily News:

Via Naples Daily News writer Woody Wommack:
"What do you think? Good or bad? Being from Oregon, and a lifelong Ducks fan, I'm all for experimentation with uniforms but I'm not even sure I can sign off on these..."
For comparison's sake, here's what the Blades usually wear. In defense of what we imagine will be the indefensible, the special sweaters might have come closer to working were it not for the gaudy "Happy Holidays" on the bottom of the jersey. (Oh, and seriously: Just have it read "Merry Christmas." Holly, lights, glass balls ... unless there's a dreidel on the fighting strap, let's not pretend it's a "holiday" jersey, mkay?)
So maybe a tweak here or there saves the effort; instead, the Florida Everblades look like a greeting card from the dollar store that was marinated in toxic waste.
We're pretty sure we already know the answer, but we'll ask anyway:

Blake Griffin with his head at the rim

After knocking himself out of the 2009-10 season after hurting his knee during a dunk attempt, it's still OK to cringe a bit every time you see Blake Griffin (notes) readying a launch. And apparently, now we have to worry about his head knocking the rim just as much as his knees handling the descent. It speaks to the level of credibility that the Dunk Contest owns these days that when word hit Wednesday that Blake Griffin was open to the idea of entering the NBA's annual stuffing show, we were actually more concerned than excited. Would Griffin, clearly the master of the in-game dunk just two months into his NBA career, be able to in any way match his prowess in an exhibition setting? Was there a risk of him needlessly hurting himself in the process? About 11 minutes into Wednesday's Rockets/Clippers matchup, the worries became outright fears. Because Blake went and did this. That's a 6-9 guy jumping off a surgically repaired kneecap with his head at th...

Payroll tax cut worries Social Security advocates

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's plan to cut payroll taxes for a year would provide big savings for many workers, but makes Social Security advocates nervous that it could jeopardize the retirement program's finances. The plan is part of a package of tax cuts and extended unemployment benefits that Obama negotiated with Senate Republican leaders. It would cut workers' share of Social Security taxes by nearly one-third for 2011. Workers making $50,000 in wages would get a $1,000 tax cut; those making $100,000 would get a $2,000 tax cut. The government would borrow about $112 billion to make Social Security whole. Advocates and some lawmakers worry that relying on borrowed money to fund Social Security could eventually force it to compete with other federal programs for scarce dollars, leading to cuts. Social Security taxes "ought to be held sacrosanct," said Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., chairman of the House Ways and Means subco...

Look at Kim Kardashian's Engangement Ring

Behold, the $2 million, 20.5 carat ring Kris Humphries gave to Kim Kardashian . Humphries designed the ring with jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, who is a "longtime Kardashian friend." Kardashian gushed about the rock to People . "In high school I went to Macy's and bought this fake ring, my 'perfect' ring, and this is almost the exact same," she said. "It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It's perfect." Kim said she wanted something that would be "her own," distinct from sister Khloe's $850,000, radiant-cut ring. So they went for an emerald cut, with a 16.5-carat center stone and a couple of two-carat trapezoid stones surrounding it. As for Humphries, it seems the basketball player had one thing on his mind in selecting the perfect ring. "I just knew I wanted it to be big!" he told People . And in that, he undoubtedly succeeded.
