  1. I really wish the 49ers still wore this uniform! I loved the red facemask!
  2. Why would the Cowboys bring out the red stripe for the playoffs? Did they get permission from the NFL to wear this alternate look?
  3. I love the red jersey and I believe you'd like it better if they actually wore it more. But it also could be the fact that Nike version is missing the sheen that the Reebok set had.
  4. I believe the Houston Roughnecks uniform was a slap in the face to the NFL. After the lawsuit over the Oil Rig logo in 2020, it's like the new league owners said okay, we won't look like the Oilers, but we will be more Texan than the Texans. Considering they are using the same colors as the Texans and what is more Texan than the Texas Flag? Nothing, that is why it is on the helmet. But to slap the NFL even more, they are using the old Houston Oilers colors on the Arlington Renegades away uniform. I don't care for the Houston or Arlington uniforms, but I think it is hilarious that they are making fun of the NFL in plain sight.
  5. The Houston Roughnecks helmet is awful...it reminded me of the Jacksonville Jaguars two-toned helmet when I first seen it. I am not a fan of the Vipers either as it is very plain.
  6. Yesterday, the New England Patriots posted on Twitter the Patriot Pat helmet with a red facemask. But then they deleted the post. I wonder if someone let the cat out of the bag too early and they were hoping to surprise the fans on Thursday night.
  7. It looks like two birds having sex:
  8. Ball State at Kent State was played last night and it may be the ugliest matchup for the week:
  9. We did a survey on my Facebook page as the community voted the Houston Roughnecks as the best logo for 2023. They also voted the Roughnecks #1 in 2020. Here were the results for this year, the closer to 10.00, the better the score: Houston Roughnecks 7.03 St. Louis Battlehawks 6.97 Arlington Renegades 6.22 DC Defenders 6.10 San Antonio Brahmas 6.03 Seattle Sea Dragons 5.85 Orlando Guardians 5.30 Las Vegas Vipers 4.93
  10. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I like the Blue/Blue for the Bills. I just wish they wouldn't wear it so much, maybe 3 times a year tops. It is one of the better monochrome looks in the NFL thanks to the beautiful stripes on the jersey and pants. Now if it were solid blue like what the Saints (all-white & all-black) have without stripes it would be awful. What I'd love to see them wear is Red/White, Blue/Over, or White/Red on the road. I played with those combination in Madden and love them.
  11. This is will also be the first time since the 2020 season in Weeks 12 & 14 (Week 13: Bye Week) that the team has worn Red/Pewter in back to back games.
  12. To each their own! I prefer the numbers instead of logos and you disagree. That is the beauty of uniforms. As far as logic, for years, the TV numbers made it easier for fans and broadcasters to identify the players when they're facing off at the line of scrimmage, or whenever they're not facing directly toward or away from the camera. I still agree today that TV numbers help me identify players on my TV and that is the primary reason I like them. I already know they are a Patriot player because I am watching the game, but I may not be able to see the player actually is if I can't see his number.
  13. The logo is already on the helmets and doesn't need to be right below them. Besides that, TV numbers have been part of the NFL jersey for several years, but they've went away with some teams recently. That is trend that I hope ends soon.
  14. I'd love to see Flying Elvis removed from the arms and replaced with TV numbers like in the home version on the left.
  15. I am beyond thrilled that the silver pants are back. This is all the team needs to do in the future to have an amazing uniform set: Home: Away: Alt:
  16. Hands down, the best matchup in Week 7 was LSU at Florida: The worst matchup for me was Oklahoma State at TCU:
  17. The Mavericks made the change last season. The last Admirals change I could find was in 2017, but that image above is definitely newer than what was introduced in 2017.
  18. Oregon Ducks to be worn on October 22, 2022 Already posted.
  19. Here was the endzones from 1985-1990 at Foxboro:
  20. New scoreboard and uniforms for the Minnesota Twins next year. Since you cannot see the whole article as it costs money, here it is: Construction cranes are working behind Target Field for the North Loop Green building that will be completed by 2024. The three-game series with the White Sox starting Tuesday at Target Field will be the final time that fans will ever see Luis Arraez, Joe Ryan and Jhoan Duran in Twins uniforms. Oh, the players will probably be back next year. Those uniforms won't. The Twins' offseason will include some substantial and noticeable changes, and not just to a roster that fell well short of its goal of winning the AL Central. The ballpark, the team's logos and the winter calendar will be distinctly different in 2023 — starting with the clothing on the players' back. "Our uniforms are going to evolve and take a step toward the future. There is always a sensitivity to paying respect to the history and the heritage of the franchise," team president Dave St. Peter said. "But there's also a desire to move it forward, much like we did in the mid-'80s." Will fans appreciate a new look? "Well, that reaction is always in the eye of the beholder," he said of a topic that always generates debate among fans of any sports team. The uniforms, which are complete but won't be revealed until after the season ends, are just the most obvious aspect of a general rebranding of the 62-year-old franchise, St. Peter said, one that will include "tweaks or in some cases, more than that" to the team's brand identification: the lettering, the logos, the look of the team. The colors won't change — "This franchise has embraced the base colors of red, white and blue since 1901," when it was the Washington Senators, St. Peter pointed out — but he believes a new look is well-timed. "We're in a little bit of a different world today, and we've seen several brands go through a refresh. The Padres are a great example — they went with a refresh that actually reached back to their origins, but they did it in a really bold, dynamic way," St. Peter said of San Diego's re-embrace of its brown-and-gold, swinging-friar history. "It wasn't just a cookie-cutter of what Steve Garvey wore in 1984. And our goals are the same. How do you pay tribute to that history and heritage, but do it in a very modern way?" The team also will introduce a special City Connect uniform, a distinctive and nontraditional look that will emphasize some aspect of Minnesota culture, sometime next summer, but the team won't wear them until 2024. City Connects have been wildly popular with fans in other cities, and the Twins hoped to include theirs next year, but MLB is staggering their introduction with just a half-dozen or so each season. Minnie and Paul, their handshake across the Mississippi having symbolized the Twin Cities since 1961, will still be part of the franchise's icons and will continue to loom over center field in Target Field. But that logo, too, will be "tweaked," St. Peter said. Caravan returns The team's offseason schedule, disrupted by COVID-19, has been restored, he said, with the winter caravan across the upper Midwest planned for mid-January, the first in-person Diamond Awards banquet since 2020 set for Jan. 26, and TwinsFest to follow on Jan 27-28. The festival will be different, St. Peter said, and will only partly be staged at Target Field. "We're working on some changes to what TwinsFest means, and how we can engage our players with the community," he said. "There will be changes to the scope and the lineup, doing some things a little differently to expose our brand to younger demographics. But we also understand that there is a core group of people who love to gather here and speak the gospel of Twins baseball every January." New scoreboards While at TwinsFest, fans will notice a few big changes at Target Field. There will be cranes on the field from November to early March, installing new scoreboards, including a huge video board in left field that is 76 % larger than the current one. The $30 million project, with costs shared by the Twins and the Minnesota Ballpark Authority, will upgrade and in most cases expand every video board in the ballpark, with some new video hardware added.
  21. I believe it is going to be absolutely beautiful look and since it will be used only a few times a year that is not bad.
  22. You do realize they are not wearing the current uniforms on Thursday with the white helmet. They are actually wearing the former color rush uniform:
