  1. New name idea: Washington Debbies
  2. Michigan is the odd one of the group, probably because it's just what we're used to. But I think it also works because the helmet is such an overwhelming design that the plain pants and jersey balance it out. Penn State and Texas definitely need to add stripes back to their pants full time.
  3. Notre Dame, Michigan, UCLA, and Colorado would like a word with you.
  4. Commanders isn't generic at all, but that's not the problem. The problem is that its too long and clunky, and has no good shortened version. Other teams with more than two syllable names have shorter nicknames: Patriots have Pats, Buccaneers have Bucs, 49ers have Niners. And then the Commanders have Commies and Ders, which are just terrible. Meh, I like it well enough. Most importantly though, it allows for fans to shorten it to Hogs.
  5. Why does Nike hate pants stripes? If the pants had stripes to match the jersey these new uniforms would be perfect. The Barry Sanders uniforms these are inspired by had pants stripes, although they didn't quite match.
  6. This was my thought. You have three players in each jersey already, so why are you not showing off every pants combo? So stupid. As for the uniforms, they'd be fine if worn with contrasting socks or pants. But nope, gotta be one solid color in order to have drip. The wordmark in the sleeve stripe is dumb, but not as egregious as the Lions. It's much more like North Carolina's 90s throwbacks.
  7. Since you told us the beak color of the helmet logo, can you tell us what color the head is? Is it still cardinal (or metallic cardinal, like the black helmet)? Or is it this supposed maroon? I just find it very weird that they would introduce orange to the color scheme, yet keep the beak yellow. Seems like an odd inconsistency and a missed opportunity, since cardinal beaks are actually orange. I 100% trust your info on the helmet, but I'm still very skeptical of this other guy that's giving jersey and color info.
  8. Yes, but that wasn't the point. Of all the people that submit a logo, only one person will get compensation for the time and effort they put into their work. And even that person will probably be compensated way less than they deserve.
  9. Gotta love when a billion dollar franchise asks its fans to do free work.
  10. "Washington Hogs" feels a little lacking. "Washington Warthogs" sounds better as an official name, while obviously allowing for "Hogs" to be the shortened nickname. And while I would love for them to have a better name, I give this about a 0.1% chance of happening. I just don't see the NFL allowing yet another name change in such a short timeframe. New logos and uniforms would be allowed (and are desperately needed), but I think we're stuck with this dud of a name. As a fan of the Mud Hens and the Washington [insert name here]: How dare you besmirch MiLB by suggesting that Washington could rise to their level of respectability!
  11. White with metallic gold or copper flakes = Sand = Sonoran Desert
  12. This is the only positive that could come out of this template change. Although I'm not sure it's a time that Pittsburgh fans want to recall. Hot take: I think the Batman jerseys work much better with their pants and helmet than their classic sleeve striping does.
  13. A white helmet with metallic gold/copper flakes? An anodized red facemask that can look various shades of red depending on lighting? A bit larger helmet logo that's metallic and has gradients like the one on the black helmet? Am I getting warm or cold?
  14. Gross. The Fusion is such a massive downgrade from the Untouchable, but Nike gonna Nike, and push their "innovation" because they can't leave well enough alone.
  15. Ripon has an elusive technology that allows them to create an accurate forest green.
  16. Fair point, but I would hope that there's a limit to how many times the league will submit to Jeffrey Lurie's peer pressure.
  17. The sad thing is that most people are too ignorant to realize just how cheap and inaccurate these jerseys are. I want to like the USFL, but everything about it just seems so damn flimsy.
  18. Nope, only jerseys have to stay for five years, because that's what sells the most. The Eagles' black helmet will be a one and done, and the Rams showed that even primary helmets don't need to last very long.
  19. I'm calling bullsh!it on this one. The hats are in stock and ready to ship. They wouldn't manufacture thousands upon thousands of placeholder hats that would be obsolete by the time the draft happens. My guess is that this reddit guy is looking at photos that have terrible lighting and/or saturation. Cardinal and gold in poor lighting look an awful lot like "maroon and orange".
  20. That's an interesting historical quirk, and explains a lot.
  21. Thanks for making me sound like Tnak, but that's not at all what I said. My question is why have two no-sugar versions that use the same artificial sweeteners? Aspartame has a very noticeable flavor to it, so if the goal is to make it taste more like the regular drink than Diet, why use the same sweetener when other no calorie sweeteners are available? I'd like a no-sugar option, but aspartame is a no-go for me.
