Michael Bolton Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 So the vast majority of people, aka just about everyone outside these boards, probably won't be able to tell the Steelers throwbacks apart from the regular unis. Hopefully the facemasks will be grey at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My quarterback.") Is SF really any non-49er fan's first thought when thinking about TO? Also, he recently talked some trash on Jason Garrett, so I'm not sure how much he loves the Cowboys at this point either. Absolutely. Pretty sure that’s where he spent most of his time anyway.

tjs11 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 personally, I started football when he was an Eagle. But am aware of his whole history. If I were a Madden Cover decider, I wouldn't have chosen him because he has such a diverse career. You want franchise players for the cover. My friend mentioned that one of the reasons that he was chosen was because this is the first year that Madden has had the rights to him since retirement I would have loved to see the entire HOF class on the cover with a few main players in the front crossing arm e.g. Fitzgerald and Palomalou.

Is it seriously just the number font? Italics vs block?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madden probably went with the Cowboys because... Guys don't go into the pro football hall of fame as a member of a certain team. Every team they played for is listed below their bust and their bust is just their head and a little bit of their shoulders. You can't tell what team these guys played for by looking at their bust, its not like the plaques they have for baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's supposed to be a hard edge representation of a fade. If you look at it as the gold color turning into the white, it makes sense. Darker gold, then lighter gold, then white. I think that's exactly right. Jaguars have darker fur on top of their heads, fading down to lighter fur. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

I don't get why people hate patches is better than a wordmark. Adding wordmarks makes them feel amateurish imo. The patches look very clean and makes sense since the Steelers only have the logo on one side of the helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did have bold, solid block numbers. Those are the defining feature of the throwbacks, and those are what should be brought back on the regular jerseys. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

I mentioned the wordmark because someone said wordmarks were better than patches. I get nfl teams want to have their branding somewhere so of I had to teams one or the other I'd take a patch over a wordmark. Hell I even prefer the Lions weird stripe sleeve wordmark than just on the chest I hate generic block font and here it just looks so blah. The italic font is so much better and fits the logo way better than this font and gives an identity. These just look so cheap. I don't get why people love old uniforms so much even when they are near identical. Like you said the packers old uniforms were better than the current ones because the sleeve was slightly different? Don't even get me started on the gray facemask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to have a lithograph of them in their playing days but I believe when they updated the Hall of Fame in the late 1990's they discontinued this. All their teams are still listed but the one they were best known for got the place of honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Their throwback unis are just the block numbers? That's kinda lame. Was hoping for something different like Yellow jerseys. This seems lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmening Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Yes, do start. Because the Steelers look great with a gray facemask. Helps to tie in the gray outline surrounding the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
