Just saw this

I'm struggling to understand why this black team doesn't have any logos on its helmet or uniform.

Yeah this (admittedly terrible) mockup looks bad.

Yeah this logo feels simultaneously very retro and very modern, which is damn near impossible to pull off.

Interesting to see around the 4:35 mark that they switched from red numbers on blue to white numbers on blue (visibility concerns?) and even seem to have taken promo photos of both versions.

Only slight changes to the Jets' logo. Addition of black to color scheme. Sounds like we're getting a Detroit Lions-style uniform update (not the most recent ones, but either of the two redesigns that included black).

How on earth could they "unveil" such a radical helmet design (the logo is on the top, right?) but then not include a single photo that gives us a good look at the helmet? Pure incompetence. That said, I kinda dig these. They tried to mix retro with modern and I think it mostly works.

Finally some actual info

Now this is interesting. Because that is more of a modernization than a redesign. Just angling the stripes, new number font, that sorta stuff. Of course, I have a very low expectation for journalists to get this stuff right. We've been told teams are only making minor updates and then it's major changes. To non-uniform-heads, anything short of new colors can be "minor."

That almost certainly has to be a placeholder, but it's still worrisome to see it be black and not plain red.

Will never happen, but I would kill for the NFL to let Rams-Chiefs go color vs. color.

Teal, how do you possibly not realize the many ways you rub people the wrong way? It's a baffling lack of self-awareness. And as for this idea: 1. The source images/descriptions that the leakers have seen/heard have been planted to mislead them and keep them off the scent, and the helmets will return, still white, but with new stripes and/or logos. I feel like we've been through this whole process so much that it's safe to conclude teams don't deliberately plant fakes out there. There are two types of "leaks" (and I use that term loosely): completely fake ones made by fans or trolls, and legit ones. There is no third-category of team-created fakes.

I'm good with the stripes, even though logically I feel like I shouldn't be. But what still bothers me is those gray facemasks. The blue just looked so, so much better.

Yikes. Never seen that before. That looks horrible.

“You know I like em flashy” could just as easily be interpreted as support for the Bucs' current uniforms. Also, the head coach doesn't design the uniforms, nor have much/any influence in when new ones are requested.
