I know that there is a segment of SoSH who is into UniWatch and Paul Lukas, but I haven't seen anything about his announcement last Tuesday where he is stepping away from the blog/community that he created and cultivated and handing the reigns to weekend UniWatcher Phil Hecken.
The times that I've corresponded with Lukas, he's been incredibly nice, so I'm glad that he's getting out while he can. It seems like the last few years of sports uniforms (ads on jerseys, countless designs) have been weighing on the guy and he doesn't appear to enjoy it anymore. It's one of my first stops every day and while I'm not wild about how he writes, I don't think that any news has ever gotten by him. Hecken isn't too bad either, so I think that this should be in good hands. My main problem with the UniWatch universe are the commenters, I can't recall them ever really liking any redesign and they take joy in finding fault in the smallest places (like a score bug using a logo from last year instead of the current year).
I probably won't follow Paul to his new endeavors--I don't subscribe to his Substack--but I wish him luck in whatever he does. Twenty five years is a long time to read someone and I think I'm going to miss him.
