  1. They'll be getting entirely new uniforms (and probably a name) before they add another helmet. And they couldn't do it for the upcoming season anyways, as the rule change doesn't go league-wide until 2025.
  2. It also doesn't help that it was on TBS. Why are championships relegated to cable, late on a Monday night? Who the hell asked for that? The Women's championship game was on broadcast TV, at 3pm on a Sunday. That makes so much more sense, and people actually tuned in to watch the whole game. They should either put both games on Sunday, or shift them each back a day, having Women's on Saturday, and Men's on Sunday. And drop the TBS championship nonsense. But that would be too convenient, so of course they won't do that. Football has already been at that point for a long time, just without the expanded field. I like expanding to 12, as I'd rather there be a slim chance of an outside team winning than no chance at all. However, the talk of going to 16 is on the verge of being too much. The basketball tournament is incredibly bloated, and while it makes for entertaining early upsets, it's ultimately meaningless.
  3. They've already produced tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of jerseys. Unless the Broncos want to eat a crap ton of costs, there's no going back. Helmets might be a different story. From my experience buying mini helmets, helmet merch has probably not been produced yet.
  4. The hats and jerseys are clearly different shades. The jerseys look more like the old shade, and the hats are what the current purple is supposed to be.
  5. When did the Broncos sign Nick Foles?
  6. They don't need black on the regular uniforms or logo, as black would be considered a historical color for them.
  7. Someone at Under Armour thought they were making uniforms for the other USC.
  8. The left guard for the Panthers is just awful. That game was much closer than it had any right to be though. Jake Bates is still the star of the team.
  9. These were good uniforms? Collars and all?
  10. They should reconsider apologizing for these.
  11. The owner's wife can design the uniforms for free too!
  12. I think you misunderstand what "threadjacking" is. Threadjacking is when a thread about a specific team/topic is derailed into discussion of a completely different team/topic. For example, if the thread were specifically about the Broncos new uniforms, and people start discussing the Browns, it's been CLEVE-JACKEDTM. But a thread about all NFL changes can't be jacked by any NFL team because they're all already included in the discussion. However, this thread can get jacked by flags.
  13. I expect it to be an all-navy uniform mixed with elements of away uniforms from three World Series winning seasons. Gray hats from 1935 Sleeve numbers from 1968 Arched script style from 1984, but probably "Motor City" instead of Detroit
  14. Not sure if they qualify as road grays, but...
  15. Everybody can hear what they discuss, so they're held accountable. They can't just stubbornly stick to a bad call out of spite like NFL refs like to do.
  16. Royal blue and navy are historical colors for the chargers. Ever since Color Rush, historical colors aren't contained to just throwbacks. The exact shade of the light blue isn't the issue for the Texans, it's that the color would not be present on the home and away, and is not part of franchise history. But also, the Oilers Titans can't claim exclusive rights to a single shade of blue, no matter how much they want to. They can own the name that they call it, but the Texans could use the same shade and just call it something else.
  17. Would the Texans even be allowed to use light blue on an alternate? Isn't the rule that alternate colors have to be present on the primary home or road, or be a historical color? And the league has been very clear that the Oilers are NOT part of the Texans' history. So unless they sneak a bit of light blue onto the home jersey, I don't think we'll see a red and light blue alt, as good as those colors would look.
  18. The new logo is very slightly different. The arc is the most obvious change, being solid white and tapered instead of using the gradient. More subtly, the "+" is a bit thicker, and it's now properly aligned. In the original version, the top of the vertical stroke is slightly further left than the bottom of the stroke. It always annoyed the hell out of me, so I'm glad they fixed it. I'm not a fan of the teal gradient they've gone with. I understand why they went with teal, but it just looks weird.
  19. Yes, the kicker needs to get the ball somewhere between the 20 and the goal line. If it lands in the endzone and stays inbounds, the returner has to either down it for a touchback to the 30, or they can choose to return it. If the ball hits inside the landing zone and bounces into the endzone, then downing it would be a touchback to the 20. If it lands short of the landing zone, regardless of bounce, the ball is placed at the 40. I wonder if we'll see some attempts at low-angle, line-drive kicks to try and bounce them into the endzone. They don't need the hangtime anymore for players to get downfield, and the coverage can't even move until the ball is caught or touches the ground.
  20. Players giving them "rave reviews" means absolutely nothing. Players just like anything new. Most of them have zero sense of uniform aesthetics. The Lions' insistence last year on wearing Monolulu Blue and those plain white pants does not make me optimistic for what these players like.
  21. "The orange remains unchanged."
  22. According to Uni-Watch Bernie was in Tecmo Bowl, but not Tecmo Super Bowl.
  23. Not when it comes to MILFS.
  24. Some notable bits from the FAQ page: Interesting that there's no question about Findlay changing its name. So Findlay will stay "University of Findlay", but Bluffton could change.
