-kj Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I liked those jerseys. There are a couple of tweaks I would make, but overall I thought they looked good. The new ones are decent, though the numbers are a crime against humanity. Quote Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Lights Out Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I've mentioned this before, but those Vikings uniforms were great when worn properly (purple over white at home, white over purple on the road). Their insistence on wearing monochrome combos and the stupid toilet-seat collars ruined it. Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I did not hate the uniform either. It was kinda odd (the way the side panel almost met the semi-horn stripe on the back shoulder and the awkward nearly-right angle that the piping takes). But so is the new uniform (serifs).I totally agree that when they went all white or all purple it was a disaster, made worse by the stupid continuing of the side panel color onto the pants. First, what's superior about having the line between purple and white there anyway (as opposed to the waist) and more importantly, when they wore white-on-white (roughly 7 times per year), the stupid purple box on the hip looked out of place. They should not have designed 'em that way, particularly if they were just going to go white-on-white like the Vikings prefer to do.The collars were not too bad; not gigantic like some of the early Saints/Texans toilet seats.What I liked best was the color balance. These uniforms show purple as the primary and yellow as the secondary. The current uniforms really marginalize the yellow (particularly the jerseys). The Reebok set should have not messed with the "blending in the side panels" and should have found a better way to do the piping. But I really don't think it was a terrible set. Plus, by now, they could have kept the essence and maybe ditched some of the mid-2000s trends. So, super-unpopular opinion alert: I like this set better than the current. What I really wish they would have done is tweaked the 1990s set to keep of with the times. Same good color balance without the mid-2000s goofy trends.

VikWings Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I liked that set at first but by the time it was replaced I wanted it gone, especially after 2012 with the Nike neck roll collars. The current set is definitely an upgrade but neither are better than anything they wore from 1961-2005. The current set is a few tweaks from being amazing. Lose the serifs on the lead number and make the facemask gray or purple instead of black. Maybe add a yellow outline to the numbers but I could live without it.I was kinda upset when the new ones were revealed after the source that leaked that they were getting new unis said they were "retro and awesome." I thought it would be a update of an throwback like the 49ers and Bills did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I hated that set so much. It just looked like "me-too" after the Falcons and Cardinals had similar looks. The Falcons' set has had some staying power, but to me, there was nothing particularly unique or interesting about the old Vikings and current Cardinals sets. They look like change for change's sake, and I'm glad the Vikings already got rid of theirs. It'd be nice if the Cardinals did the same -- the Tillman-era uniforms were really spectacular.

Not really sure why. The dark jersey, along with the Raiders, is about as basic as it gets but I really, really loved that uniform. Actually, I thought they kept taking steps backwards on the white jersey and my love of it was over when they added the state flag. I really liked the below set (though by now the sleeves on the white would obviously need to have changed) Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

2001mark Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I have zero problem with NBA t-shirts if guys keep doing this...I mean, srsly, who cares about short sleeves when guys are wrapping their limbs in these colourful health bands.Melo, DHoward, CP3... just quit fooling anyone & grab some speedskating suits if you can't handle shorts & tanks. 1 Quote @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikWings Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The Tillman-era jerseys were basically practice sets, no?I love the road look from that era and actually have an Anquan Boldin jersey of it. The home was really plain, but still better than their current jerseys.I like black alt but the home and road suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's typical mid 2000s design. Piping, panels, and stripes from pants to jerseys that never line up when put on actual, moving people.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I think the roads from the Cardinals set were exquisite:It makes these look almost indefensible: I think one of the biggest problem for those Cardinals was that they were generally terrible. They had that one good year with Jake Plummer that they made the playoffs, but otherwise, they were generally pretty bad up and until they drafted Larry Fitzgerald. It's hard to erase loser stink, even if you do look like a good football team. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamikel Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I loved the gray facemasks for the Browns, and I normally dislike gray facemasks for teams without gray in their color scheme (and even some teams that do have gray, like the Cowboys.) But brown and orange are such an old-fashioned color scheme that would never be chosen today for a brand new franchise, so the old-fashioned gray facemask worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I never liked the old Hornets' fleur-de-bee at all. It just seemed like a really forced logo. I get that it "made sense" with it being in homage to New Orleans and all, but there's a difference between effectively celebrating your location in a logo, and forcibly pushing your location in a logo. Cramming a hornet into a fleur-de-lis shape, in my opinion, falls into the latter (especially considering how unnatural it looked). Besides, I always thought the modernized Hugo was a MUCH better logo and should've been featured a lot more than it was. Probably an unpopular opinion in and of itself, come to think of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xist2inspire Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I've never been a big fan of the red & yellow color scheme for the Rockets, and I think it's slightly overrated. I know they won two championships in them, but if you ask me "name a red-and-yellow basketball team GO," I'll say the Hawks 10 times out of 10. I think they did good by going back to red as the primary, and I'm cool with having a red & yellow alternate, but full-time and forevermore? Nah. 1 Quote Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I liked theseYeah, I miss those too. is there any pics of these against a home team wearing a cream based jersey? maybe vs San Fran? the colors are kinda similar so im interested to see a matchup of that.I went to a good handful of Padres Giants games at AT&T when they wore that set, and it was never a problem. That sand color, especially from a distance, was VERY pronounced. Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)
