All due respect, but that's a lazy-ass argument. Where is it written that a brand/look has to "advance?" You're basically just saying "I want things my way." And that's fine, we all do it, but stop presenting it like it's the law of uniform design. It's your opinion. No more, no less. Just like everyone else here. Who determines what's "decent" and what's good? You?

Agree with all of this. I’m hopeful this change is what happens after this season too. A tone down, not a redo. I’m actually okay with the use of bone pants, but only if they lose the stripes and only gets worn with the blue jersey (which won’t happen and we know it).

That's sad about Embiid's condition, but also, he was at Draymond levels of dirty play last night and absolutely got top-ten superstar treatment in not getting tossed.

I like 'em. Know what else would help? TV numbers on the shoulders

That's the joy of opinions. Mine are that the yellow needs to be toned down, and the fruit rollups need to be peeled off of the numbers. I think the horn was change for the sake of change, but I'm not convinced it's any better or worse than the previous versions.

I think you have a point, other than Carson Beck, Quinn Ewers, who's going to be available that moves the needle? Cam Ward and Dillon Gabriel might be able to move up in the draft with their stats, but Gabriel will have to deal with some tougher defenses in the Big Ten this year and Ward is at Miami which brings its own challenges. Cade Klubnick could come out, but I don't think that he's any better than what quarterbacks are still available in this year's draft. Will Howard has the chance to do something at Ohio State, but he might not even be the starter in August unless Chip Kelly decides to go with age before talent. DJ might help Florida State win a lague title and a playoff game, but he's more likely yo be playing in the UFL or CFL than he is in the NFL.

It was instantly improved with the addition and promotion of the white jersey.

I see your GB-CHI and raise you LV-KC

The proportions of the sleeve swoop in this picture aren't too dissimilar to the proportions on the modern jersey imo. Maybe lose the TV number and thicken it a little bit, but other than that, I'd love to see the Rams bring back this look (also fix the helmet color, of course). The fact is that the Rams have never had a perfect look and likely never will. And everyone has their own opoinion on what "perfect" would be.

I even love the gradient and segmentation in the numbers! My only issue with the Rams set is the bone and a little too bright yellow. But honestly it only bothers me in a few photos, so most of the time, the yellow works. It’s not quite the travesty that people make it out to be.

You forgot Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Mitchell was playing against two NFL receivers and another who will be. Also, the QB throwing to them that day was some kid named C.J. Stroud.

I'll be honest, the new Rams set has really grown on me. I think the yellow could be little more athletic gold and less highlighter but the general layout, I kinda like.

I REALLY wanted the Bucs to draft DeJean (part because of the story, part due to need), but knew they needed interior line more than anything else, and I’m thrilled with who they got. I’m also the guy who wanted them to draft Johnny Football over Mike Evans

I love the helmets that the Washington Football Team has, but I do not understand why they could not just keep the old uniforms and change the helmet. That would look super clean.

Regardless of the name I predict they do something metallic on the uniform to set themselves apart, whether that's copper or silver(I bet silver). Hockey uniforms tend to use thick twill and stitching so metallic uniform elements end up looking like VGK or Carolina, kind of chunky. But this newer heat pressed metallic material is hot in sports now and unrepresented in the NHL. Could be seen as a hole to fill. In the NFL the Cardinals & Lions recently used it, while the Rams and Texans have "glossy" colors, and the Vikings new ICY alternate also might have metallic silver.

Completely fair. Modern doesn't make it amazing and it can be used as a cash grab all the same. If we're going case by case, I've stated my reason for not liking the Rams throwbacks used on today's template. For other teams (Broncos), it shows a lot of inconsistencies that we dismiss because it's a throwback, but would have issues with today. If we're going to compare designs, you have to keep the scale equal and critique it the same way. It's lazy and cheap because it doesn't advance a brand/look and settles for decent. It settles for "Ah, people used to love this. Just bring it back". The Rams throwback on Dickerson looks great because the bigger sleeve captures the desired look of the swooping horn from the armpit to the sleeve. In the picture I used, you can see on the O-lineman that the design can be messed up quickly and takes away from the desired look. The design starts at the shoulder and loses the same swoop or gets cut off in this uniform. When players wore bigger sleeves like Bradford in the Throwback, it worked and captured what the Throwback was. Players aren't doing so, it makes a solid look worse and I would rather modernize it so a uniform works than just say old look is good when it doesn't translate the same.

The one thing that always bothered me about the 80s-90s Rams uniforms is the white nameplate and pants stripe. There isn't any white on the rest of the uniform, so why those two minor elements? I'd prefer to see it all in blue and yellow. Also, that uniform is one of the few that I think looks better with modern jersey templates. The Dickerson-era shoulder horns are too huge, but on the current jersey cuts, the shoulder horns are a lot more proportionate:

I find the matchup at Soldier Field slightly over this one.

I feel like the name is going to kind of dictate the colors, you can't really go with Yeti(s) and use tan, brown, etc.

Yep, @BlueMoon18 is correct. The road script I used was worn only in 1987, and the last script "New York" used by the Mets was in 1994. CHICAGO WHITE SOX HOME: ROAD: HOME ALT: ROAD ALT: CITY CONNECT: Notes: - The less said about the current state of the Chicago White Sox the better, but they do have great uniforms, so at least they've got that going for them. - No MLB organization celebrates or rewards mediocrity quite like the White Sox. Case in point: Since 2013, the team has regularly worn throwbacks of the 1983 team, which not only did not win a championship but didn’t even reach the World Series. If the South Siders want to honor an historical team actually worth celebrating (and who also had great uniforms), and with the '83 throwbacks seemingly being shelved this year, they should make the 1917 throwbacks the new Sunday home alt. - The primary uniforms now use actual white stocking befitting the team's name, and the thick black & white stripes return to the road pants where they belong. - I switched to a white script and numbers for the road jersey both as a nod to the team’s great 1969 look, and because they play off the white socks a bit better. - The City Connect trades in silver for red, which evokes the team’s past as well as the local Bulls and Blackhawks. C&C appreciated as always!

While we're discussing Green Bay... Don't change a stitch. As much as I hate that team, this is best looking game every single year.

Similar feelings here. I have a design for the City of Chicago to own the Bears and turn the President and GM position into a publicly elected office.

He played against Notre Dame in 2021 and Ohio State in 2022. Against Notre Dame he had one of his best games of his college career. I was at the game, but I'm no scout so I can't say that I have any real insight. The Ohio State game on the other hand, he didn't look so great. But very few people look great against Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka. I'd still say he's a very good CB, but I'm honestly surprised he was the first CB taken.

Mine is 31, and he’s been with me since I was 18 and he was 9.
