NFL Changes 2014+

[DCarp1231]

I gotta say... After watching the Redskins-Buccaneers game last night, the Bucs uniforms are really growing on me... I've been one of the few that has liked them from the beginning

Then you really can't say they're growing on you.

what I meant to say was I sort of liked them when they were unveiled but after actually seeing them in a game I like them even more... The home jersey is definitely the best of the set.

If your white jerseys are supposed to be white, then make them white!!!!!!!!!!!

JFC.

Not 75% white and 25% pewter, or red, or maroon. Bucs, Falcons, Cards.

Magnificent! Amazing contrast. I really like the Bucs' new white uniform.

just a tad more orange and these dolphins uniforms would be top 10 easily . still don't understand the hate for the logo

Thicker orange outline around the numbers,

Thinner aqua helmet stripe on helmet and a normal size orange outline for helmet stripe

Point the dolphin tail down like previous logos.

Just do those three things, and this dolphin uniform and identity will be a perfect update.

The helmet on the dolphin is just not needed these days. While it would be nice, it would look forced in any rendition other than a throwback "inspired" logo.

I've long been a fan of uniforms/colors that match the city/region. The above is a perfect example of a sunny, resort beach town team vs a steel belt, midwest blue collar team.

far from a perfect example

The only teams whose color schemes really represented their areas well were the Dolphins and the Seahawks IMO. You could throw the RWB DC teams in there, too, I guess. Some looks have become very closely associated with cities, but I don't think most areas have a go-to color scheme.

What about Pittsburgh?

I wouldn't call Tampa a steel belt, midwest, blue collar town...

I'd put that in the category of color schemes that became associated with the city, not ones that the city "gave" the teams. The black could be coal and oil, yeah, but it just didn't really represent Pittsburgh add a whole like the aqua and orange represent a sunny beach town with all that art deco-ness. All IMO, of course.

But isn't the City of Pittsburgh's official colors Black and Yellow?

And NYC's are blue and orange, but I don't think blue and orange really represents the area itself in any meaningful way. I'm talking about colors that represent the feel or vibe of an area, rather than just having logical reasons for picking certain colors. I'm not sure I'm getting my idea across... it's just an opinion, anyway.

The main bridges in Pittsburgh are yellow, and there is a lot of yellow signage. Also the aforementioned flag which is all over. Also it's dreary and the steel. The city absolutely gave the teams yellow, and I think it's reasonable to say black too.

Of course...because I would see Navy Blue and Neon Green EVERYWHERE in Seattle if I visited that city

This is a perfect example of regional sports stereotypes rearing its ugly head again...Its like EVERY team from Oklahoma or Texas MUST be named after some midwest cowboy themed nickname, every team from Florida MUST be clad in bright colors like teal or orange, and every team from the Northwest MUST be the Sounders or the Waves or anything ocean specific with blue and green in their color scheme. Can't we break free of this stuff already? At some point in time someone has to stand up and say: "Hey, Can't we be the Seattle Lions or the Oklahoma Gladiators or whatever?". I just think its starting to get redundant and lazy.

That is the reason that 3 of the 4 DC teams are RWB. They are America's capital so they MUST be RWB. It's ridiculous.

[wonderbread]

I liked it better with the red and gold nats, and teal black and copper wizards, i like RWB for the caps though

I fail to see what Thunderbirds, Seahawks, and Supersonics have to do with the ocean.

I've never been to Seattle, but it seems like it's always gloomy, so I definitely think navy and grey give off that vibe. There's also a lot of greenery, plus the green is a nice contrast. Their last color scheme also gave off a similar vibe.

To that original point, yes. You absolutely would see a TON of navy and neon green. In fact, it's the colors of the Cascadia flag.

[OaklandRaider]

Missed out on all the raiders talk but as raider fan, I do agree they need to fix the number scrunching up issue. It doesn't look professional at all.

The raiders aren't switching to anything or anything simply for the sake of not switching. There could be actual improvement and Mark still won't unless tent had too. I'm pretty sure if helmets weren't regulated, the raiders would still use the old styles. They are also the only team that doesn't allow anything to be sold where the logo is altered in anyway. Their nike gloves have 2 logos rather than the 1 logo split on 2 gloves. New era also doesn't make many of their designs for the raiders because it wouldn't meet the logo requirements.

Ultimately it's marks decision. Personally. I feel they should loosen up a bit. Maybe it will help with sales when sales are at an all time low. He needs all the money he can get to help get a stadium.
