I became familiar&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jus.tia.mybluehost.me\/website_3c1e0e40\/2004\/08\/22.html\"><strong>with the column<\/strong><\/a> during its ESPN Page 2 days. In 2006, he branched out to <a href=\"https:\/\/jus.tia.mybluehost.me\/website_3c1e0e40\/2006\/05\/uni-watch-blog-debuts.html\"><strong>a blog<\/strong><\/a> which&nbsp;immediately became daily reading. In 2022, he switched to <a href=\"\/website_3c1e0e40\/2022\/11\/support-the-new-uni-watch.html\"><strong>a new content strategy<\/strong><\/a> that updated throughout the day and included a subscription-based newsletter. Along the way, he created some great Uni Watch merchandise too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52531024225_b2bb50c788_b.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, he&#8217;s stepping down. He&#8217;s been saying for years that he felt like he was closer to the end than the beginning and on January 2, <a href=\"https:\/\/uni-watch.com\/2024\/01\/02\/important-news-about-uni-watchs-future\/\"><strong>he made it official<\/strong><\/a>. In his own words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been doing Uni Watch for nearly a quarter-century now \u2014 that\u2019s a long time! I\u2019m very proud of this project, but I feel like I\u2019ve said most of what I need to say here. In short: It\u2019s enough. Moreover, I\u2019ll be turning 60 in a couple of months. Do I really want to be writing about sports uniforms in my 60s? There\u2019s nothing necessarily wrong with that, but I\u2019ve decided that it\u2019s not how I want to spend the next phase of my life. Those two milestone numbers \u2014 me turning 60 and Uni Watch turning 25 \u2014 make this seem like a good time to move on to other things.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I get it. He&#8217;s done some really cool features for a long time, but it&#8217;s possible that most of the stories have been told. Add in the constant release of new uniforms, special uniforms, etc. the signal to noise ratio is not as good. It&#8217;s come through in his writing at times that maybe, it&#8217;s not much fun any more, so I was not surprised to see the announcement. I mean, writing up the <a href=\"https:\/\/jus.tia.mybluehost.me\/website_3c1e0e40\/2024\/03\/nats-downgrading-uniforms-again.html\"><strong>Nationals latest uniform situation<\/strong><\/a> was kind of tedious and I only did that once, not every day for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s still a notable loss. What made Uni Watch more than just a blog covering uniforms was Lukas&#8217; editorial voice. While he was as sports fan and appreciated uniforms, he wasn&#8217;t a <em>sports uniform consumer<\/em>. Likely, because he grew up in the times before widespread apparel merchandising, he doesn&#8217;t buy team jerseys, etc. That disconnect informs his commentary and provides a bit of a detachment. It&#8217;s worked well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have enjoyed <a href=\"https:\/\/uni-watch.com\/search\/yurasko\/\"><strong>contributing items<\/strong><\/a> over the years too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#fbc348;background-color:#136d39\">Finishing strong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting Friday, May 17, Lukas began his <a href=\"https:\/\/uni-watch.com\/2024\/02\/26\/here-are-the-plans-for-the-uni-watch-25th-anniversary-tour\/\"><strong>farewell tour<\/strong><\/a> which will culminate with a <a href=\"https:\/\/uni-watch.com\/2024\/05\/09\/my-big-uni-watch-anniversary-farewell-party-is-coming-up\/\"><strong>25<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary\/wrap party<\/strong><\/a> on Sunday, May 26 in New York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was hoping to go to that party, but those plans have been <em>overcome by events<\/em>. The recaps of the farewell tour are giving me some FOMO though. Thankfully, I was able to attend a happy hour when <a href=\"https:\/\/uni-watch.com\/2013\/02\/07\/greetings-from-washington\/\"><strong>he was in Washington i<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/uni-watch.com\/2013\/02\/07\/greetings-from-washington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>n 2013<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Content-wise, the last 4+ months have had some great stuff, especially on his subscription-based newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#fbc348;background-color:#136d39\">What&#8217;s next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lukas will take a break and then begin his <em>pre<\/em>tirement by continuing writing his newsletter, likely under the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/uni-watch.com\/2024\/05\/22\/a-preview-of-inconspicuous-consumption\/\"><strong>Inconspicuous Consumption<\/strong><\/a><\/em> name. I&#8217;m eager to see how it develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long-time deputy editor, <strong>Phil Hecken<\/strong>, will take over Uni Watch. He&#8217;s been running it on weekend&#8217;s and during the month of August, so it will be as seemless as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#fbc348;background-color:#136d39\">Coda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Satuday, Lukas <a href=\"https:\/\/uni-watch.com\/2024\/05\/26\/its-uni-watchs-25th-anniversary-and-my-final-day\/\"><strong>thanked hundreds of readers\/contributors<\/strong><\/a> by name, including me.
