  1. This may very well be a case of the fans of the team liking something more than outsiders. The O's hat is fantastic, and most Orioles fans I know agree with that sentiment. I like the City Connect hat because it's new and a unique twist on something they only wore for one season, but I don't like it more than the O's hat or want to see that replace the O's hat, only add to it.
  2. I'm glad some of you aren't in charge of my favorite team. You would have to update their Cartoon Bird logo if you did that, since it is wearing an O's cap, but I thoroughly enjoy that small detail and that hat.
  3. This is my only complaint (maybe that it needs an orange bill, too). I love them otherwise. They still look like the Orioles and aren't over the top like some City Connect uniforms.
  4. Most fans were always going to be disappointed if they didn't look like Old Bay tin cans or feature "Charm City" in the Domino Sugars sign font across the chest, but I'm going to reserve judgment until they're unveiled. I think the hat is going to be fantastic, the white wordmark reminds me of their Turn Ahead The Clock jersey and the subtle orange accents should really pop on an all-black uniform. Just hard to create a brand new city-specific look for a team that already has one of the best uniforms in the league without borrowing too many design cues from said look and everyone like it.
  5. I received this graphic in an email the other day, which includes pattern you can see on the jock tag, sleeve cuffs and patch on the left sleeve of the leaked jersey. The white "B" is in that patch and jock tag, and every indication is that's what will be on the hat, as well, though I'd rather it be orange.
  6. This post started off with so much promise.
  7. From a uniform aesthetic standpoint, I completely agree, but I also understand why they're worn on the field from a merchandise standpoint. There are many people who buy them solely because the team actually wore them rather than any other fashion hats that are on the shelves. In fact, my father-in-law actually purchased one after seeing them worn this weekend and he would have never done so otherwise.
  8. It is hidden in the release, but the Hornets are getting a new Classic Edition uniform next season. They previously wore a teal classic uniform in 2017-18, white classic uniform in 2018-19 and purple classic uniform in 2019-20.
  9. The XFL end zones remind me of the first few Big Ten Championship games, when they used a small italicized font (which I believe aligned with FOX's brand).
  10. For those, like me, who wished the numbers matched the wordmark:
  11. The new template's biggest issue could be solved by the V touching the bottom of the collar, which would allow the wordmark and numbers to be moved up an inch or two and not make the template look bunched below the collar, but Nike clearly wanted to make that part distinct.
  12. I have never agreed with something more. The Nuggets' look has gone downhill ever since they slightly altered the design ahead of the 2010-11 season alongside the move to the Rev30 template, and especially since they moved away from powder blue.
  13. That was my point. When it was first revealed over the summer, Oregon called it Fusion, which I've confirmed with Nike sources was the original name for the template. Oregon then started using Fusion and F.U.S.E. interchangeably about a month later, which was likely a mistake given the catalog version's name. Eventually, Nike just leaned into that moniker for both versions, which is why we're seeing that used now.
  14. They won't be. Oregon has them, but Ohio State and Georgia did not (and, like Florida State and others, will not have them when they move to the template on a full-time basis this season). Arizona is the only NFL team that I'm aware will have them.
  15. Interestingly, the template was originally called Vapor Fusion and the catalog version was Vapor F.U.S.E, just like the catalog version of Vapor Untouchable is Vapor Pro, but somewhere along the way, Nike adopted F.U.S.E. for both. I somewhat refuse to call it anything other than Fusion, though. Looks better, sounds better, etc.
