Bathysphere Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Not gonna start a new thread yet since Twitter sources can be super sus, but it is exciting to think about nonetheless: I've seen a couple of journalists on Twitter say that the word around the Jaguars stadium tours is that the team will be getting new uniforms next year in their first year of eligibility since their last (awful) redesign. The word has it that they will still be mostly black but with more teal, and that the change stems from Coughlin wanting to see them go a more traditional route (also, he apparently hates the gold :D). https://twitter.com/MadeByTim/status/913431383426699264 https://twitter.com/MadeByTim/status/913432515729346560 https://twitter.com/MadeByTim/status/913432707039924224 https://twitter.com/AlfieBCC/status/913434815642390528 If this means that they're getting rid of what I think it means that they're getting rid of, then I couldn't be more excited, although I'd prefer that they'd straight up go back to teal jerseys full time. Since these unis only lasted for the entire length of the Gus Bradley regimen plus one year, they and their helmets will likely go down as a blight on the franchise's history. If anyone wants to discuss the salvageability of their current look, then I'll direct you to my comments here: This also will likely mean that they will be the first of at least two teams so far to go back to the drawing board on Nike's initial attempt at a redesign (with the Browns rumored to be changing in 2020). Sounds like a pretty bad look for Nike in the eyes of the NFL, who is obviously very conscious about their brands' visibility and consistency. However, since I've seen Nike knock some looks out of the park before (Lions, Vikings), I'm hoping that the second time is the charm. Again, Twitter sources be damned, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for this day that I've awaited so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathysphere Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Extra thoughts: ~Since they're changing the helmets and the change overall seems rather Coughlin-driven, I can see them going back to regular black helmets so that they could do a throwback to Coughlin's heyday with the team (or at least I can dream). ~If Color Rush sticks around at least another year for some reason, I'd based on the given info that it will be assuredly teal.

bowld Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Great news and just as the team is getting good again.Hopefully they bring back the teal too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite simply the NFL protocol with alternates prior to Color Rush was just to simply do a color swap. Since this 49ers black set existed before the Rush happened, that's exactly why it is the way it is. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The one thing that I think is salvageable from the current set is the number font. I actually like it. It would be a nice blend of modern and traditional if they minimized the design but kept the font. I like the teal numbers on the white, but the teal jerseys need white numbers. Also, while the execution on the current set absolutely sucks, the color balance is pretty good. I like the emphasis that all colors are there. Much better than the prior set set which appeared exclusively teal, white, and black. Gold was virtually erased aside from the helmet logo. The helmet is non-negotiable and has gotta go. The worst in all of football, professional or collegiate. I'd either go all matte black or that black with teal flakes they used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSHARE18 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I love the Jaguars font, the font and the pants I will be sad to see go. If it means getting rid of the helmets though, I’ll take it. Rumor is it’s going to be an all black helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr3g3 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 As a Jags fan I am estatic to see the news of going to a more traditional look and a one color helmet. I think it's pretty telling that 2 of the original Nike designs are changing directly after the 5 year minimum usage (assuming the Browns change in 2020 like rumored) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty telling that 2 of the original Nike designs are changing directly after the 5 year minimum usage (assuming the Browns change in 2020 like rumored) As damning as it is, I do actually have a bit of hope that Nike can turn things around and salvage their rep with these upcoming redesigns because the world of football design has been leaning more and more traditional in the past few years. Since the Browns disaster in 2015 and taking a break from NFL redesigns in 2016, they came back with a masterpiece for the Lions. Also, recent college designs for teams like UCLA, Cal, and even Oregon have been very reserved. I think that it is safe to say at this point that Nike took over the NFL at a very unfortunate time for football uniforms. The early 2010's proved to just be an arms race amongst teams trying to create the most futuristic, "fire" uniform elements to try to keep up with the Duck. That even Oregon is pulling it back these days is pretty telling that teams are getting over wacky, swaggy uniforms in favor of modern classics. Time will tell as we see how they handle the Jags and Titans in 2018 and the Rams and Browns in 2020 (heck, throw in the Bucs for some seriously due cleanup in 2019.)

PaleVermilion81 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Really hoping they keep the new Jaguar head. I'm a huge fan of it! (not saying it is 100% perfect, but I still love it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not saying it is 100% perfect, but I still love it) I was really sour to it at first, but it grew on me A LOT. It really is a great looking sports logo and looks amazing on a teal background. The original looks very dated by comparison as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the Jets are for this weekend’s game, it seems pretty obvious that teams can change facemasks for any game, not just the Color Rush games.

406Cane Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I think the Jets' white facemasks look better than the Rams'. Any chance we'll ever see a return to the 90s Jets look? It's definitely associated with awfulness, but I thought it was a little bit unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Random thought: I wonder if the Packers ever thought about changing to white facemasks for Color Rush. Yellow helmets with white facemasks aren't unheard of, and usually look okay. And if facemasks are now changeable throughout the year for all games, like @upperV03said, I'd like to see the Pats switch to gray facemasks for a home game (as a Pats fan). Also would like to see Browns and Giants switch to white facemasks for a game, and Steelers switch to gray for a game. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

duxrcool048 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 If they do change next year, this will be the third time since 2009. I don't think any other team has ever changed their uniforms that many times in 9 years. That's unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
