  1. Both of these helmets desperately need stripes. Interested to see the two Texans’ alternate helmets, one of which has a much higher MSRP than the other (due to paint and/or decal costs)
  2. Solid theory as to why they made the decision they did.
  3. Is this the first Mountain Dew car in Cup series since Dale Jr retired?
  4. Could be suggesting a new Statement jersey; the current purple statement has been around the minimum of two seasons. The current Icon/Association set is finishing up year #4 (so not eligible for a change yet if there is a five season rule).
  5. One of the faults of this set, for me anyway, is that my eyes go straight to the black numbers on the helmet that are a different font than the jersey. Great for spotters, but not a fan of it in the overall design.
  6. I don't think I’ve ever seen a double-sponsored car (like Pennzoil/Mennard’s) look good. They always look so cheap.
  7. The historically accurate Vikings helmets are already being sold by Riddell. This 2024 listing is advertised as a new addition to Riddell’s offering, which, imo, would mean it is most likely a white helmet.
  8. Helmet/collectible retailer. There are no images, just placeholders.
  9. My initial thought on the Packers is a white “Frozen Tundra” helmet with green/gold/green stripes…though if alt helmets must be used with alt jerseys, this would likely be an updated throwback helmet (maybe with faux-leather details or something) as I'm sure the current blank gold shell with gray facemask doesn't sell well at all. The Giants might be creating a 60s-style ny navy helmet solely for the team’s 100th season/anniversary in 2024-25 (i.e. a new helmet for probably one game just by swapping decals on the navy throwbacks)…. I was considering the Giants might be adding a white helmet, but after more thought, I don't think this is the case; that would mean the navy helmets would be gone under the current two-shell rule, and the 80s throwbacks can't die out for a few more years. I think it's been posted on here before...but a possibility for the Ravens helmet is a "flash" metallic paint job (like the Jets 2019-23 helmets) that is purple/black, giving it that raven-esque look. All of this is speculation - wish I had good info for any of these on the list.
  10. All the answers sounds like throwingpennies (or whatever it was) and/or probablywillforgetmylogin. We also don't know if Paul's two sources are actually different people...hopefully he's smarter than that, but he could be getting played pretty hard. @MileHighMario Vetanze did post before getting suspended on D that the main helmets might be navy and not white, so even those details aren’t confirmed by the two UW sources. edit: if you read Brady2024’s posts in forums.denverbroncos.com about anything you’ll see he just :censored:posts and posts ridiculous nonsense. He’s there now because he’s more than likely banned here. The below comment is demonstrably false...we know jersey combos have to be set in July/August (and this sounds like "Russelll Wilson is pushing the team to wear all blue and they'll switch it up like on Friday and stuff" nonsense we've heard in the past). On the Broncos forums, Brady2024 claims Sean Peyton will have the player of the week choose the next week’s uniform, which we all know isn’t true all, so he changed it to this lie: Brady2024: Just that they’re not looking to have a defined home jersey. They might wear white at home sometimes, depending on on how the team is feeling. And this sounds fake as hell as any real long-time Bronco test group would be hard-pressed to hate a royal blue helmet. There's no way fans or executives or Sean Payton hate any Broncos identity so much they "want to create their own identity": UW: You said they considered going back to a royal blue helmet but that it tested very poorly. I assume you’re referring to focus group testing that they did. Brady2024: Yes. UW: Is that something you were told, or were you involved in any way with the focus group testing? Brady2024: That’s something I was told. UW: Who told you that? Brady2024: [Redacted.] I was told that they showed it to Broncos fans and non-fans, and they’re very strongly wanting to create their own identity. In the Broncos’ forums, Brady2024 claims he was “behind closed doors” for these focus groups…but he was only told of the findings? There's a retail site that has placeholders for 2024 alternates - and Denver is one of them. But since throwbacks are already in retail, a true throwback helmet already in circulation wouldn't be held on the site as a new alternate, if that makes sense. Long story short, no reason to trust Brady2024 on these claims.
  11. With the swoosh on the front, Nike has the first and final say. I think it’s fair to say that the division at Nike who thought three-tiers of retail baseball jerseys would be popular had no idea how baseball fans would react. The team at Nike who thought MLB jerseys were in dire need of a template change also had no idea what the reaction would be amongst fans or many of the players (bringing in five or six guys to test the template is clearly not a sizable sample). Thin, printed twill numbers and logos have been on Swingman jerseys for years…that’s Nike. These techniques aren’t anything new.
  12. Caught last inning+ of K-State vs Cal… Cal Bears look to have a change to batting helmets (and I think it’s an upgrade). The big C is now a yellow metallic decal rather than the 3D rubber decal. Solid look on the satin helmets.
  13. They had dark endzones through 97; I don't think they had the helmet in them in the mid-90s. I'll see if I can find a picture. Once the Meadowlands/Giants Stadium took out the astroturf then the Jets started going with unfilled endzones I think...but that was with the 98-2018 wordmark.
  14. I know you posted this over a month ago...if you watch Hot Stove on MLB Network somewhat regularly, you'll notice Harold and Matt V never really use "Los Angeles Angels" when talking about the team casually or on a side-bar analysis.. Harold played for the Angels for a year and Vasgersian was hired for a season or two by Arte in the recent past. They always say "the Angels" or something like "he'd be a good fit in Anaheim". Anaheim is usually the locator. They rarely, if ever, use the term "LA" when talking about the Angels...and mainly because have been around the game forever and know that LA = Dodgers and "LA Angels" just doesn't fit. I'm not a full on Arte hater - he has his shortcomings but he's not as awful as many internet fans want him to be - but it's always bizarre that he really sticks with Angels Baseball/LA Angels instead of just using Anaheim.
  15. These pockets are in pretty much the same location as the new template.
