  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Gotta love when a billion dollar franchise asks its fans to do free work.
  5. "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!
  6. White with metallic gold or copper flakes = Sand = Sonoran Desert
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. Ripon has an elusive technology that allows them to create an accurate forest green.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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".
  15. That's an interesting historical quirk, and explains a lot.
  16. 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.
  17. I've never really understood the shift from "Diet" to "Zero Sugar", while still producing both products. They both use aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and they both taste terrible. I guess the Zero Sugar drinks might be slightly less terrible, but they're all the same thing to me. They could use sucralose, allulose, or erythritol to differentiate one, but nope. They both have that distinctive aspartame taste, so why should I buy Zero Sugar if I already don't like Diet? I guess what I'm saying is, making Zero Sugar the focus of the brand is stupid.
  18. Burger King didn't go back to their old logo either, but they did a much better job of making it feel like they went back to the old logo. The font in the new Pepsi logo is just so obviously wrong, and the black looks out of place.
  19. The t-shirts I found with athletic gold: And some other stuff with athletic gold:
  20. At least that logo has Testudo holding the flag. They haven't used a logo with Testudo since 2012, and the turtle shell helmets were back in 2011. A whole decade of nothing but flag imagery across all their sports. They may as well be the Maryland Marylanders at this point. They've been so focused on the state's unique flag that they've forgotten about the school mascot that is also incredibly unique.
