hecticbro Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 oldschoolvikings, how can you say that? They are in different background colors, of course it won't have the exact same pattern. That's just a basic thing about any traditional jersey. Usually the stripe widths and layout are the same but obviously the colors change. That's just basic stuff. It doesn't make it not match.But it absolutely could've had the exact same stripe, colors and all, and very easy. Just change the silver stripe to blue on the home jersey, and the silver stripes to white on the road jersey. Simple.That would simply ruin the set by removing silver from the shirt while it's the main component of the helmet and the pants. It would be the exact same mistake Ohio State made a couple years ago. You can't be that "consistent" when you're dealing with this many colors. I'd much rather have a consistent color palate (even if the colors aren't all applied in the same section of the striping pattern) than look mismatched like the New York Giants, whose helmet, jerseys and pants look like they belong to three different teams.

AsM29 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 That has been my feeling on the matter. Yeah, the stripes can match, but it will throw off the flow of the whole uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no silver anywhere from the neck down on the current Patriots road uni.Lots of college examples... numerous versions of Notre Dames uniforms, 80's OSU, USC's road jersey... on and on.And everyone seems to love the current Tampa Bay uniform, but no pewter to be found on either jersey... no one complains.This is just off the top of my head.I'm not nesessarily saying I like all these uniforms, but it is interesting that they break this obvious "rule" but many people still seem to love them. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more concerned that a set of jerseys looks cohesive and asthetically pleasing, rather than ensuring the striping pattern matches color for color, line for line.I'd simply ask if a uniform passes the smell test. Take a sniff and tell me what you think. The old Lion's set was clumsy and disjointed. This new set simply looks much better. Why should I care if the silver stipe is on the inside or the outside of the home set instead of the road set. The stiping patterns and colors are presented in such a way that you identify each piece of the uniform as fitting together.

Gothamite Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Neither would I.The Lions' old set was clunky. The new one looks less clunky, but I can't tell from the bad scan or the fan mockup if the new one is able to leave clunky behind. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Nemesis Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The more I see of that logo, the more I like it.Couldn't agree more.Looking at a reveal date around April 18th -20th. Would match up nicely with the reopening of the Lion's store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhaha Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 My thoughts on this new logo and uni set have been percolating since it was first leaked awhile back, and I have to say I think it's an upgrade. The only things I really don't like are the black face mask and the collar stripes, which have always seemed wildly out if place to me ever since they introduced them in the previous set.

OrangeBalloonCoast Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Does anyone else think that this logo would look better than the current one?...put it on a blue helmet with a grey facemask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 No, not really. The silver and white don't have enough contrast, and will wash out at distance.Interesting idea, but I like the way the color combo works on the current helmet (less the black facemask) The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
