  1. SB50 was five head coaches and seven ten QBs ago bro. Maybe you have great recent memories of Paxton Lynch, Trever Simien, Case Keenum, et al but I sure don't. Again, a lot of people who grew up in the 70s and 80s and 90s have fond memories of other games outside of the Super Bowl. After last year's just complete dysfunction, SB 50 seems like forever ago.
  2. All my friends and I are over 40 and want to see the old uniforms come back. A lot of great memories on The Drive, The Fumble, the great comeback against Houston, the Orange Crush defense, Steve Atwater' s (HOF) hit against Okoye, the Three Amigos, Tom Jackson (HOF), Simon Fletcher, Karl Mecklenberg, and the 95-96 teams that really built the foundation for the 97-98 teams, such as Terrell Davis's just incredible rookie year. To only see the Orange Crush in terms of Super Bowl losses is a shame, and it's like only thinking about the Bills K-Gun or the VIkings' Purple People Eaters as only horrible Super Bowl losses. It's really not fair to the history of the era. I, mean, if you only judge the '98 Vikings season based on the NFCC, you probably would hate the 90s Vikings set but I guarantee more people have fond memories of Cunningham-to-Moss just because they were crazy good. Thus, for most Broncos fans alive in the 70, 80s, and 90s, there were many successes outside of the Super Bowls. Right now the current set is nothing but QB failures and a carousel of head coaches.
  3. A lot of pro logos could be rendered a lot better tbh but a lot of people probably prefer they aren’t. The ‘97 Bucs logo was pretty cool and then someone thought it could be rendered better and it lost all the charm. The 70s-90s logo was always one of my favorites and how it mirrors the horse on top of the scoreboard is pretty cool.
  4. It's not any different than these which don't seem to bother most people:
  5. Looks like CU might have black satin or matte helmets with metallic gold logos (and it looks like the logo has increased in size a bit). IIRC this is the first time since 2014 they used the metallic decals on black (normally use the flat gold/tan color). Looks sharp.
  6. I think the issue is Tillman throwbacks would look too similar to the regular set. I might be wrong on that reasoning though…
  7. Alternative heading should be ”Presented without any context” Your post really doesn’t say if it’s a “should wear” or “will wear” prediction. Were you expecting everyone to read your mind? I’m not really sure what the statement about the Panthers was…that they should continue wearing the all black alternate they wore in 2022?
  8. Would have to deemed a “color rush” wouldn’t it? The fourth alt is either throwback or color rush, right?
  9. It sure is brave to tell everyone you definitely knew the rumors were false after the unveiling. Wish you had posted something/anything that definitively quashed the rumors the last few weeks, but you didn’t.
  10. Someone mentioned that the C and bear are interchangeable as primary logos. Defeats the purpose of "primary" but c'est la vie.
  11. This is a totally unhinged and bizarre post. The first ISniffButts50 post about the helmet (your first linked post) turned out to be true...the helmet indeed is a white and silver version of the black helmet, and silver did feature more prominently in the new set. If I was Tru, and saw that that particular description matched what I'd seen, I'd believe other posts from the same guy. The fact that you think people had low reading comprehension because we put out trust in a guy who has been incredibly reliable is just asinine. Tru had doubts...but he also said everything he was told was believable. He had details that seemed far more credible than the average leak. We believed him. We were tricked by a reddit user. In 2005 I would have thought a Cardinals uniform with piping and random shapes and cardinal shoulder yokes would have seemed completely schizo...yet that's actually what they went with. We really didn't know what path the team was going to take...I mean there are hundreds of concepts of "What the team should do" and none of them were close. Were there things that reduced credibility along the way? Sure...the bad claim about the hats, the guy suddenly disappearing after the bad soft reveal...but I (and maybe others) was pretty sure if the team wasn't changing to maroon and orange, then they were going with cardinal, copper, navy, (more) yellow and/or sand...which is still way off and nothing close to what was revealed. I don't fault Tru at all...and the 20/20 hindsight in this particular post filled with "all of you should have known better" is just laughable
  12. Well the Commanders set is garbage. But the Cards’ home and roads are sharp (save for the huge Arizona, which should have been scaled down), and as meaningless as this word is…they’re “clean”. IMO
  13. They’ll have to figure out decal placement, this bird ^^^ will be looking nearly straight down when worn.
  14. This comparison makes me like the Cards’ red and white uniforms even more.
  15. I don’t get the comparison to the 49ers…the Cardinals don’t have a drop shadow (pretty big difference) and the Cardinals historically wore red numbers with black outlines and sleeve stripes. The new white jerseys look more like the Timm Rosenbach than anything the 49ers have worn. And I’d say, if anything, WSU copied the Cardinals’ classic home look. The Cards were wearing white helmets with cardinal jerseys/pants 20 years ago.
  16. For $130+, the silver just doesn’t do it for me…would be more inclined if they had blue and/or copper accents and trim.
  17. The article on the Cardinals website says jerseys will go on sale at 9pm First paragraph: https://www.azcardinals.com/news/longform/new-uniforms-for-the-arizona-cardinals-2023
  18. Last thoughts - the red pants need stripes...whether it be double white or white/silver/white...they need something. The white jerseys look so much better without the red yoke on the shoulders…look how clean it is without it. The black outlines on the numbers do give it a solid look throwbackish look. The silver accents make sense when they say they tried to incorporate the exterior of the stadium...but these uniforms really feel like a Super Bowl champ uni (a la the gold MLB champ unis) but with silver to pay homage to the trophy. With so much silver in the uni I’m still baffled why New Era used so much yellow in the draft hat.
  19. Tru’s description of the helmet was on point, white (check), metallic flakes later implied to be silver (check), non-flat gray, silver metallic mask (check).
  20. After seeing more photos, they’re just so underwhelming. Quite a few concepts with copper and navy and sunrays that I would take over these. At first i thought the white jersey sleeve stripes were red and blue like the 90s then I became hugely disappointed when i saw they were silver.
  21. These were pretty much leaked on Twitter as a concept, weren’t they? I know someone had the “Arizona” on the cardinal jersey and the Buckeye concept wasn’t far off. Should have gone with copper instead of silver.
  22. This picture makes the blue look similar to those 2018-19 Warriors city uniform from a few years ago…that indigo/slate color
  23. The number font in the photo is the current Cardinals font
  24. nm well done @Survival79 It is very weird that not even the new “replacement draft hats” have leaked either. Not revealing the jersey is one thing, but not one pic of a new hat is strange. Sort of getting willforgetmylogin vibes.
