You're not Dr. Smith. YOu're not Smith ESQ. You're not Smith VIII. You're Smith QB. Or Smith RB. Sports uniforms are to identify the team, and then the player on said team. That ends when a number and "Smith" is placed on a red shirt. Come at me. I’m the fourth generation to carry my name. I use “IV” to distinguish myself from my father, because, while I carry my name with pride, I don’t want a damn thing to do with him.

Gothamite Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 10 hours ago, andrewharrington said: Sure, but then why even have names, because that basically proves how inessential they are. I actually share that point of view and that’s why I prioritize how the name looks with the rest of the uniform over how readable it is. It’s a name. It’s rarely, if ever, the best tool to identify a player, and I think these days, it’s mostly just there for ego purposes. The fact that there are still professional and collegiate teams that don’t put names on their jerseys is case closed for me. They’re nice, but they’re not essential. The only reason teams today put names on jerseys is so fans need to buy new ones when players leave and are replaced. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 these uniforms are terrible. And look even worse on TV. Overall I think they look worse on the field than they did during the unveiling. Easily a bottom 5 uniform set for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think elements of this design will translate well in a few years when they inevitably rebrand again, but as for now they are indeed a kludge.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think the only thing they have going for them at this point is their colors. Light blue, navy, red. And even those are getting drowned out by two shades of grey in this set. They just look very dull to me. They remind me of the Jags circa 2009 uniforms in that you have to do a double take to figure out what team is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defentaly prefer the font they had before. My wife and I watched the game and we both thought that the font has an art deco feel to it, which is odd since they didn't make it out here until 1946.

I know alternate helmets are not allowed, but that lighting makes it look as like they are the Throwback Helmets from our 1969-1995 Set. (Minus the Horn, of course) Please bring them back Vikings!!

Those colors just look cool to me, and I have no reasons that I can think of to back that opinion up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While pretty much every other team goes minimalistic or throwbacks these days (rightfully) they decided to do the opposite and add a cluster:censored: of details... Weird pants panels, pointless armpits panels, double grey sword on the shoulders and helmets that look like something an XFL team would use and the font which is also an horrible mess. I'd have a very tough time choosing between Cleveland, Tampa and the Titans as my least favorite current set. Tennessee might very well be my 32nd though, these are putrid.

TBGKon Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Lids released today the NFL Logo Elements exclusive cap line. https://www.lids.com/nfl-logo-elements Some good, some questionable. Looks like they all come in alternate colors (Bucs in red and pewter, Seahawks in navy and green) Some of the elements are nice (Bucs skull and flags, Steelers hypocycloids, Niners "SF") but some are really obscure (Broncos mane, Browns facemask, Rams face of ram) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of this series of hats from the late 90'/early 00's. I was a big fan. They had some creative logos, and basically did a better job of what New Era is trying to do here. I remember the Colts had their horseshoe logo sideways (to become a C) around an I. Pretty clever stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos04 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 A lot of these look like someone just selected a layer and clicked "Delete" I also feel the "alternative" logos from the 90s were far superior to these. The only one I can easily find is the Patriots NE. Some day we should try to compile all of them from that era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I like this one. It is still recognizable and the front view raven doesn't get as much use as it should these days . . . . . . and, as shown in my signature, I'm rather fond of it (though this is a slightly different version than that one).

Gothamite Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Yeah, some logos lend themselves to pretty sharp designs by isolating elements. But most of them are just awful.

And it's not like the Browns don't have any other logos that could have been used instead. Hell, they have a logo that fits this set already!

WSU151 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 The worst hat in that collection (by far) is the Giants'. Just G-MEN? What?? An outlined NY (or just a G or something) would have been far better (though it's similar to the Jets' hat but both would be fine). https://www.lids.com/new-york-giants-new-era-nfl-logo-elements-collection-59fifty-cap/21017051 With that said, I do like the idea of these hats, and glad they're in a stretch-fit. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
