BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

Liverpool... blues?


The new adidas Liverpool FC third kit for the 2011-12 season has been unveiled. When I first saw this, I wasn't sure what to make of it. Of course, I love the color blue but I don't think I can wear anything that's not Liverpool red. I do have the black kit but wear it sparingly. This one, well, I like it except that I think of Everton or Manchester City. I guess I'll get it since I cannot wear red to Ateneo matches but still... I guess I'll be walking in blue.
Top, team captain Steven Gerrard and below, forward Dirk Kuyt posing in the new kits. Looks cool but  I wish the trimmings were red. See ya guys in a month in Kuala Lumpur.

    Liverpool FC and adidas have turned the clock back almost 120 years for the inspiration behind the brand new 3rd kit with the inclusion of Cyan Blue a throwback to Liverpool FC’s first ever home kit back in 1892 which incorporated alternate white and blue halves. - from Liverpool website. Cant wait for the season to start. Aug. 13 here we come!
