All Activity

I hope they go red and black. I really don't like this whole "the league needs a purple team, so they should be purple" thing. It's like a playschool activity where a bunch of children are figuring out what colour crayons they have so they can draw a rainbow. I'd actually love to see brown, or tan or something. But yeah, I don't need to see a colour just because its not been used by any other team and they can "own it". I'd be more than okay if they came up with a cool way to use a shade of blue or yellow or something.

Or not. Timeless. Classic. Not just marketing speak.

Packers could just join the trend of updating the template only to add faux mesh/perforations to the numbers

The new one wasn’t even more realistic, unless actual Rams have notches that lead to segments of different shades of yellow.

Just for the record, i was replying to someone who said they are outdated. I do not feel that way. I like the template that they are on. When I used the word outdated, I was referring to their post in which they felt that they were. The Packer's jerseys (specifically their white) is probably my favorite in football. I wouldn't change a thing.

There's been speculation about Joel Embiid's face for a little while here, since he hasn't been blinking from only one of his eyes for a little while, and he's appeared visibly off (and wearing sunglasses all the time.) Turns out, in addition to all his lower-body injuries, he's dealing with Bells Palsy, and half his face is paralyzed (in addition to associated migraines.) He has the worst luck. The other year he catches a friendly-fire elbow that breaks his orbital in the playoffs (in addition to whatever knee injury he was dealing with), and now he comes back from a near season-long knee issue just to get a potentially-debilitating condition.

The old horn must have been outdated.

I know that you don't have to go to a big school and play big-time competition to make it in the NFL. Jerry Rice went to Miss Valley State, TO went to Middle Tenn (I think), and there's countless others. But it's still a risk, since in most cases they've never played against anyone who has NFL ability. Eagles drafted a CB from Toledo. This worries me, because I doubt he's ever covered an NFL-capable receiver that's been thrown to by an NFL-capable QB. It seems like the riskiest position to take a first-round shot on. But the "experts" were all doing a circle jerk over the guy leading into the draft, and most fans here are participating in said jerk. Anyone actually seen this guy and know if he's got NFL "stuff"? I think there's ways you can "tell" with almost any other position, but I'm just not sure about DB. Quinyon Mitchell is the guy. Looks like Toledo played Miss St., but mostly the other MAC teams.

How exactly is it outdated? I mean, it's not like it's bell bottoms in the 21st century. A classic three piece suit is always classic. What's 'outdated' are chasing fashion trends on NFL uniforms, only to revert to something more timeless. This look is essentially what the team has worn since 1961. It works and is immediately recognizable as the Packers. Sorry (not sorry) that it isn't on the latest template designed to be 0.022% lighter/faster/drier, but it's the right color green and it isn't unintentionally different shades of green on the jersey due to the latest technologies that can't replicate a color properly.

Speaking on the Rams again, the biggest travesty is still changing the horn on the helmet. They have changed color schemes and uniforms over the years so it's not unprecedented for them to come out with something new. But for F's sake, you had quite possibly the most classic helmet in the entire world and you changed it! It was so simple, so effective, so identifiable. Blue/yellow, blue/white, blue/gold who cares. Just keep your damn horn. And the worst part is, changing the horn led to changing the horn on the shoulders, changing secondary logos, adding lines inside the numbers. It just led to more gimmicks. Mix all of that up with highlighter yellow and bone... well thats another topic

Or they had two guys graded equally and gained 60 positions in the draft later on.

Pro sports font sets should NEVER contain an open-topped 4. Close your 4s, bros.

I've said it before - "lazy" and "cheap" are terms people use to dismiss something without spending the time to elaborate further. Ironically, the word "lazy" is usually the hallmark of a lazy post!

It's BS for Penix because there's the risk that he won't have enough "tape" to warrant getting that life-changing extension if he's not on the field for years. It was BS when it happened with Love too. This is a business, and if I'm picked at 8 and know that I'm not going to play for a few seasons while everyone else is, and they're going to be increasing their value by doing so, I'm looking into ways to get out of it. Or I'm seeing if Shane Stant is willing to take out another knee.

Some people might not count this as a change since socks are kinda like the wild west at this point, but striped socks.

I sort of disagree with this. There is something I love about the Packers jersey being slightly outdated. Plus I love the collar of their jerseys.

As someone who was forced to use Qualtrics in the past two months, I hope this is the worst identity the league sees ever and the team moves again very soon.

I don't mind the addition of copper. Here's what I was thinking for a colorway, with a few different purple options and using the copper from the 1990s Jazz. The 90s Jazz used "purple, light blue and copper", with additional colors, but different shades. This is more "winter tones" than "90s tones" they previously used.

No, they're purple. It's just a deep purple. Others have been asking the same question on the team's Facebook.

Buffalo basically asking for a 1 day extension on their homework that they had all year to do?

The most entertaining part of the draft is watching the fans in attendance being completely motionless when their favorite team drafts an OL instead of a playmaker.

A lazy argument can easily be made in the opposite direction, too: Changing a uniform to something gimmicky because it's "modern" is a cash grab begging for attention. Modern uniforms can be nice to look at for a time, but the only reason some of them get steam is social media. Uniforms aren't that simple and can't be boiled down to those arguments. Each team's uniforms should be looked at on a case-by-case basis.

How is it "lazy and cheap?" It's all nostalgia. It couldn't possibly be because people prefer the look of the throwbacks, right?

Arizona: They are great, but I think the white stripe gets lost with the silver, especially on the black pants. Keeping the pattern of letting the fabric color be the second stripe would help, but it might create a disconnect with white outlines on the jersey. Atlanta: Looks good. The black numbers on the Association does make the look a little dark.

For the Falcons, I went with a more drastic change, opting for a red primary helmet instead of a black one and silver pants for Icon and Association instead of the white and black. I got rid of the side panel on the jersey and added a better wordmark on the chest. The Statement set are somewhat of a throwback to the late 60's with the only change being that I decided to scrap the TV numbers. The City uniform is inspired by the city of Atlanta having 5 HBCU's with the colors being representative of Pan-Africanism
