  1. I'm old enough to have seen the road Reds in person in '77, and also the new road Blacks the following season in '78.
  2. It's just the standard NFL Style Guide template.
  3. I still hate the TV numbers on the helmets.
  4. Keep in mind "Spade" has been a really racist term in the past.
  5. Historically, they didn't have striping on the Red jerseys, save the 2005-2022 designs.
  6. I haven't done any concepts in a long time, but thought I'd share this one, which is an AZ Cardinals tweak to simplify (even more) their current set. After staring at the new set endlessly for about a year, and mostly being OK with the addition of Silver into the color scheme, I still think it is not needed. I get that they wanted to modernize the helmet and still keep the "Gray Facemask Aesthetic" as I like to call it, and bring that color into the uniforms, but I'd like to remove it. We now have TWO teams in the NFL (Chiefs and Cardinals) with a color in their logo that is not in their unis (Black for the Chiefs, Yellow for the Cards), and a color in their uniforms that is not in their logo (Gold for the Chiefs, Silver for the Cards). I like the idea of presenting a new modernized version of the "classic" St. Louis Cardinals uniforms, but I would have taken it a bit further. I removed the Silver and added Black back as a trim color on the Cardinal Red jerseys. In addition, I completely removed the Red pants, and changed the striping pattern on the White jerseys and pants to Black-Red-Black from Red-Silver-Red. Also moved the wordmark back to the front of the jersey albeit a smaller (but larger than previously worn). So sue me - I like jersey wordmarks. I also added full-color logos to all three jerseys, and changed the facemask color on the White helmets from Silver to Red. I also added TV numbers to all three jerseys. I understand the trend is to remove these, but I feel that these particular designs need them. I think the current White jerseys look really blank without them. The biggest change to the Black uniforms is replacing the Silver numeral trim to White - I feel that the Silver trim gets muddy-looking on the Black unis. White stands out better IMO. I also removed the 3D shading on the helmet decals. To me, this creates a more iconic look; one that is easily identifiable as the Cardinals, but still retaining some modern elements.
  7. As you can see by what I have on my site, I am estimating the 422.
  8. I think of it, seeing how we're closing on a house in Prescott next week...
  9. They're technically metallic Silver now. Matches with the metallic-like Silver striping and trim.
  10. And I agree with all of this as well, although I think I would like the Red jersey to be a mirror-in-style of the White jerseys (posted before, but here it is again): (Oh - Unpopular Opinion here: I actually LIKE the Black alts. A couple of games a year, sure.)
  11. I am admittedly biased since I've been a Cardinals fan my whole life, but the Cards' White uniforms are really growing on me. I really like the reflective Silver "Framis" striping; I wish more teams that use metallics would use this:
  12. OK - I'm confused. You're posting a 13-year old image of mine? Here's the current palette (They modified it again in 2012; 2 years after that old crappy image):
  13. ...and if you're wondering why the numerals have those perforations in them, this is the inspiration:
