Uni Watch is a media project that deconstructs the finer points of sports uniforms in obsessive and excruciating detail. It has nothing to do with fashion — it’s about documenting and maintaining the visual history of sports design, and about minutiae fetishism as its own reward. If that concept doesn’t make sense to you, no problem — Uni Watch definitely isn’t for everyone, and there have always been people who Don’t Get It™. But for those who understand the pleasures of detail obsession, programmatic classification systems, information overload, and sports history, you’ve come to the right place.

Black for Black's Sake in Auto Racing

In the previous BFBS entries it has been fairly clear cut, either Black is a team color or it isn’t. Let’s take a look at a Uni-medium where that line is blurred a bit: Auto Racing. What makes BFBS in racing?

I love reading Uni Watch (as I'm kind of a logo/uniform geek myself) and did enjoy the rundown of the current liveries. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing an Indy 500 edition with the many Indy-only entries and special Indy liveries for the full season teams.

One bone to pick with the writer in the BFBS article - he obviously isn't aware of Renault's history with the Yellow/Black color scheme and the incorporation of black in their corporate logo when calling their 2010 livery BFBS.
