chcarlson23 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Does the Steelers' asymmetric helmet count?I still don't understand why they do that or why anyone likes that...

DustDevil61 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 The different color numbers on the sleeves of the Vick-era Virginia Tech uniforms are probably my favorite uniform quirk of all-time:That uniform as a whole is one of my favorite college sets ever as well.It's not a bad quirk; IMO it may be a good balance for the Browns (orange sleeve numbers, brown/white front and back numbers) should they (if able to) make changes their uniforms.

ohryan Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I LOVE that some NHL teams have the city or team name, or a motto in the collar.

AFAIK, Carolina and Seattle do this (the former has 'Keep Pounding', the latter has '12'). And Winnipeg has an inscription on their jerseys, too.Maybe I'm just old and out of touch, but in my life-long obsession with sports uniforms, I can say without a doubt that "hanger effects" are the single most ridiculous uniform elements I have ever seen. I can't see any way on any level where these things...or "effects" (really?) are anything more than a blatant money grab. Have we reached the point where uniform manufacturers think of fans as being so dumb that we actually believe our favorite players are sitting at their lockers before games staring at some generic "break the rock" or "all for one" slogan to get hyped up as they reflect on their roles in the history of the organization? If these things are to be taken seriously, they need to work. Just today we had an NFL player get released because he tried to fight a teammate over a pair of headphones. If only those players had been out "riding the eagle...TOGETHER" or whatever else their jerseys told them to do, this never would have been an issue.

FinsUp1214 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'm not sure if this would qualify as a "quirk" necessarily, but certainly a small detail I love. The curvature of the top of the old Jacksonville Jaguar head used to line up almost perfectly with a helmet top's curvature:I don't know if that was intentional or not, but either way, it made an already outstanding uniform and logo even better to me. It just "meshed". They really lost that with the logo change, not to mention crapping thier identity away slowly over a few years now. Let this be a lesson to all teams: if you get it right the first time, leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite sets of all time. Such a shame.

chcarlson23 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Don't know if this was posted before, but as much as I hate the turd burger, I love the little workmark above the logo, and the Captain's patch on the shoulder.

BJ Sands Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The Blues' bottom hem stripe is the same color as their breezers, creating the illusion that the bottom stripe is yellow. (It works better on TV.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ Sands Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 It's thick black with a thin blue outline. Maybe explains why the new logo doesn't have a white stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 considering it had a white stroke for about 20 years on the same helmet i doubt that highly, and that they use the same colors isn't the same thing as mimicking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
