JayMac Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Both Seattle Seahawks changes have been successive downgrades. I miss the royal, kelly, and silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuordr Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Upgrades: NFL: There is a tie for my favorite upgrades: Tampa Bay Buccaneers change from the creamsickle to the pewter went from a classic look to modern day perfection. NCAA Football: Utah State 2001-2011 to 2012-Present I have said since that did their University rebrand in 2012 that they nailed it from top-to-bottom. Their uniforms have the right amount of combinations that rarely look bad and their updated logo and colors are near perfection. NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins Logo- 1992-2001 to current logo. I was never a fan of the robotic penguin and I love the Vegas Gold. NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves - 1989-1995 to 1996-2007. I loved the change from the colors to the script to the logo. Downgrades:NFL: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Went from perfection 1997-2013 to total disaster in 2014. NCAA Football: Oregon Ducks - For me, Oregon receives a double-whammy for two mistakes. The first being going from the Diamond Plate uniforms to the first set of wing set uniforms. The second being removing the "O" from the helmet to go with the chromed wings. NHL: Dallas Stars - 1999-2006 to 2007-2012NBA: Not really a downgrade, but the introduction of the Oklahoma State Thunder was horrible and it's sad that they still use that initial uniform. If I had to choose a downgrade, I would go with the Phoenix Suns for going from their 1992-1999 set to the 2000-2012 set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Downgrades:NBA: Suns previous (yeah, I liked the gray) to currentUpon further review, the biggest downgrade is:Mavs blue/green to Mavs currentA lot of what I like (new Dolphins logo and anything "serious" over "campy") is accused of being "soulless". Well the Mavs have a soulless look I could do without.

Watchman Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Not sure how odd this will be as a opinion but how about the T-Wolves look being a downgrade from the previous set? I miss the green, as that was there unique colour. Now all we have is boring and bland. The Nuggets new alternates are the biggest upgrade as of late. That skyline uniform just looks beautiful.

VikWings Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Did downgrades in my last post forget this was an upgrade thread too:NFL:-Bills. They went from than Navy/Royal/Red/Nickle garbage they had in the 2000s to what is now a Top 3 jersey in the league.-06-12 Vikings to present Vikings, as mentioned in my downgrade post.NHL:-Anyone who corrected Edge mistakes for a more classic look (NYI, EDM, PHI, TOR, DAL, STL, etc.).MLB:-Didn't hate the old Blue Jays set for what it was, but the Blue Jays shouldn't be black, gray and a little bit of baby blue. New set is perfect.-Astros from the Brick and Black to the new Blue and Orange.NBA:-Nets to Brooklyn.-Bobcats to Hornets.-Sixers from the 07-09 set back to Blue and Red.-Suns from previous set (which was a downgrade from the 90s set) to current ones.-Jazz from Navy/Baby Blue (which was a downgrade from Purple/Blue/Copper mountain ones) to current set.

Dynasty Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I never liked the 2000-2012 Phoenix Suns look; their set consisted of too much purple and grey. If they replaced the grey with orange then it could've worked, however, I like their new look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshey Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Its funny to see so many taking the Nets as an upgrade because when they unveiled their current identity, I remember a lot of negativity on here. Now that I got that out of the way, obvious upgrades:(I'm only doing recent changes and the 2 sports I fully follow to save time, otherwise this list would never end.)NBA: Nets in BK, new suns set, bobcats to hornets, knicks dropping the black drop shadow from logo (but not the uni's because I still hate the half-stripes on the armholes), Kings jersey revision.NFL: Bills,Dolphins and Seattle as identities and the slimmer modern Nike jerseys are an upgrade over reebok (except for the stupid collars).Downgrades:NBA: every sleeved jersey, knicks uni (see above), Utah (one of the few people who liked the last set more), sixers (same as Utah), rockets third (I thought it would be better served as the current template in black and red), Seattle to OKC, mavs new fan made jersey.NFL: every single Nike designed jersey except for Miami and Seattle. GO NETS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love how the change came at the time their football team starting being good. The old logo and uniforms just remind me of horrible teams that were just gimme games for Utah and BYU.

Phils Phan Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Its funny to see so many taking the Nets as an upgrade because when they unveiled their current identity, I remember a lot of negativity on here.I think a lot of that was just directed at the logo, I remember from reading here at the time a lot of people liked their uniforms.

Rockstar Matt Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 This seems like a thread tailored made for the Jaguars and Buccaneers! As you all know, the helmet of Jags keeps that set as a downgrade and I can't remember a bigger downgrade than the Buccaneers new duds.

gimmick Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I always thought that the original teal/black/silver San Jose Sharks uniform was fantastic. It combined classic striping with a unique color scheme.The uniforms they've worn since then have been hit or miss, but none come close to their originals.

ohryan Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I always thought that the original teal/black/silver San Jose Sharks uniform was fantastic. It combined classic striping with a unique color scheme.The uniforms they've worn since then have been hit or miss, but none come close to their originals.I completely agree. I can't think of another franchise in professional sports who has downgraded more than the San Jose Sharks. Their inaugural uniform, logos and shoulder patches were perfect for an expansion team from the 90s. It was a classic look in colors that had never before seen the ice in the NHL. Their current look is boring and dull. They had it right the first time - they never should have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The original logo needed a few touchups (the shark's left fin and the hockey stick), but other then that? It was perfect.

BBTV Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 there's no excuse for that shark to not be wearing a hockey helmet.
