100% agree. The new ones aren't bad, certainly better than I was afraid they were going to be, but I'm not sure they're better than the old ones, which had built up a fair amount of equity with 25+ years of continuous use and 3 Super Bowls.

The only thing that stopped it from being perfect for me is the lack of stripes on the blue and white pants. I wish the black pants didn't exist but I guess that's a color rush requirement. I'm also a little afraid they'll go with monochrome combos in 90% of the games which will hinder the set.

I missed a number of pages here, but I'd agree with this take, with the exception of also using the blue pants with the white jerseys (it's actually one of the better looks in the NFL, IMO.) Also wish they didn't have black pants but I guess they have to under the Color Rush rules. Overall, I like the Lions update a lot but I wish the blue and white pants had stripes, and I'm somewhat afraid monochrome combos will be used 90% of the time, which will hinder the set overall.

That, pants stripes, and no black pants and this is an A+ update.

Quite good and I'm breathing a big sigh of relief. Just need to make sure all the pants have stripes, please. And hopefully no black pants.

I mean, I don’t want black but I’d rather have a reasonable black alternate top than the all gray.

They'll be hampered by the overuse of mono-black and mono-green but when the right combos are used, these will be quite good.

That or a classic edition would be my guess. It would be nice for the Raptors to bring back the Vince Carter era branding, it's a lot better than the Drake/OVO stuff they use now - even the Chris Bosh era red/black version.

Figured as much. The organization has been going out of their way to minimize red in their color scheme - even eliminating the classic red and blue court design they'd been using since the Bad Boys days. I'll take this as a confirmation they are changing the Statement jerseys at least. I'll hold out some hope that the new ones are an improvement, and at least somewhat congruent to the team branding this time.

A Pistons uniform tracker account on Twitter is claiming their Statement editions are being retired. I haven't heard that from anywhere else, so I'm not sure if it's just wishful thinking since they are eligible to be changed after two years, or the account has inside information. Certainly hoping it's accurate since I find the current Statement jerseys abysmal. Hopefully they might finally bring back either the 2000s or 90s red jerseys, which for some unknown reason they continually refuse to do.

Something like this would be pretty decent, as long as it's paired with regular gray or white pants. Maybe I'm scarred by some of the atrocities Nike has put out in the NBA's City Edition program, but I'm a little afraid of what the Tigers are going to do. But they have been pretty adamant about maintaining a fairly traditional look over the years. Having said that, I'm also the guy who has hoped at times they'd add a road-only navy alternate top, something akin to an inverse of the regular home jersey. I also always kinda liked the orange bill on the road hat for the Tigers.

Tigers City Connect is debuting May 10, with merch available May 6. Most I've seen are believing it will be navy/orange and feature the '90s Tiger face logo.

Please at least add blue striping to white pants. No mono-color pants, please. I'm a little less afraid for the Lions new set than I was previously (going off a quote from the team president a year or two ago about the new set being a more significant change than the 2017 set, which he referred to as a tweaking.) Overall, if there's no mono-color pants and the all gray set is gone, I guess I'll consider it a win, even though I rather liked the 2017 set overall as long as the right combos were used. Oh, and it'd be nice if we get true silver back, rather than dull gray.
