ESPN draft coverage using volt accent colors. Yuck.

I noticed this right away...and loved it.  Obviously.

 

Insider info that will make you all very happy:  Volt is on the outs.  Or at least taking a break for a year or two, for the most part.

From what? Everything? Hopefully at least the Pro Bowl - this past year looked good without it.

Nike wanted to phase it out last year from their product lines, but the demand was still too high.  They are working to phase it out of most of this year's coming product - that could be permanent, could be temporary, but apparently they're a little bit over it.  Most visible color to the human eye, but now that everyone is Lime Greening the ish out of everything, I think they're just annoyed, so of course, they want to steer the market again, and everyone will just follow.  

Things could always change, but this is what I was told by a Nike employee (corporate, not store) this past Fall, and from a corporate buyer in a company that would definitely know.

I thought some people here might find this video interesting.

It's Paxton Lynch arriving at Broncos headquarters in Dove Valley on Friday. About 4 minutes after walking in the door, he's taken to the equipment room to address uniform-related matters. I love his reaction to seeing his jersey for the first time. He is also fitted for a helmet (I think he says he wants a visor?), and they talk about shoes a little. This also caught my eye:

Check out the stripes on that helmet sitting on the table. Those are Orange Crush - era stripes on a modern navy helmet. Probably meaningless, but I guess we'll see (faux-back/color rush?). A boy can dream.

So much better than the current stripe. Hopefully, we'll see this helmet this,or next, season.

Nice find! It's either got something do with Color Rush or it's just the equipment guys being bored. 

 

Also, I spot a stack of 7s, likely for autographing if Elway ever gets another free moment.

Speaking of the Broncos, it looks like they will be using the updated uniform template that we've seen a few other players wearing, except this still has flywire. Hard to tell but compare what Paxton Lynch is wearing to Goff or Wentz.

What exactly does that mean?

I think they're very realistic and match up to some of the rumors/pictures we've seen. 

Regarding the helmets comment, YES, it does add legitimacy because there have been plenty of rumors where the helmets are different colors, etc. Those you can obviously throw out the door. 

 

Take it easy, guys. Everything is worth reading with a grain of salt.
