Uni Watch: 1999–2025

Paul Lukas, the founder of Uni Watch, has announced the site's closure due to various negative factors. This decision, made in earnest, marks the end of the sports uniform-focused blog. The website's archive, with the exception of recent posts, has already been removed. The remaining content, including the closure announcement, will be taken offline soon. Lukas reflects on the 26-year run of Uni Watch, which began prior to it becoming a standalone site. He questions the common practice of removing archives upon website closure. Uni Watch represented the early web's spirit of dedicated blogs for niche interests. The closing of Uni Watch is part of a trend of fewer new sites emerging. The loss highlights a shift away from the web's former abundance of specialized content.
