Oh look, it's the Cardinals uniform but with black instead of red.

Oh look it’s the Raiders uniform without silver.

The Halos recoloured parts of their logo to match the base for the Rome, Road and CC.  It still sticks out and is majority navy when their wordmarks are majority red.
 

FBM’s regular logo is navy with a red/dark red outline though.

I mean there has definitely been some infringement (Dallas skyline alternate comes to mind as well) but as the basis for an identity it would still be pretty unique. The red rocks and valley uniforms read as much more of a gradient than a rainbow to me.

I totally believe that. It was honestly pretty far ahead of its time and the 90’s aesthetic was so dark and drab compared to the rainbows. FWIW I do think the recent black and white rainbow city jerseys of recent years nailed the color balance needed to really let the rainbow shine. The old school gold cuffs and Royal base were very busy alongside the rainbow.

The recent white jerseys used navy as the main accent color, then for whetever reason they switched to black the next year. Not sure they should have white and black unis now. 

The rainbow “Atari Breakout” look was definitely not ahead of its time. It was definitely a product of the 80s and extremely dated in the 1990s

Everyone knows the navy gold and crimson were dripped because of awful basketball after 1995 and Kiki wanted UCLA colors.

As a Nuggets fan, I think that this idea that the powder blue was beloved is a bit wrong though. To a lot of Nuggets fans that almost feels like an era of Nuggets basketball rather than the basis of our core identity. The real issue is that they refuse to embrace the rainbows fully, which would really solve all of their identity problems in my opinion.

As someone who lived in Denver in the 90s, damn near the whole city was ecstatic that the Nuggets finally had three main colors in 1993 rather than six colors.  Royal, yellow and red can work while going back to a classic skyline-mountain look.  Then again, nothing wrong with turning the current navy Jerseys to royal with a yellow wordmark outlined in red. 

The Webber/Bibby/Peja era unis were so good…wish NBA teams could just bring back past-era unis. Would save us a lot of trouble.

If teams only stuck with their winning looks, the Sabres would still be wearing the Buffaslug, the Senators would be forever using their toga jerseys, and the Ducks would still have a wordmark logo.

Why would the Sabres be wearing the Buffaslug and not the Goat?

The Sens could definitely pursue something closer to an old time hockey club aesthetic with hints of the current identity. According to Icethetics, this idea was at last explored:

Has anyone done a Peace Tower inside the O? Would it work?

Nice job, Louisville. Hopefully Adidas gives them a very minimal uniform now to compliment this retro vibe. If only more college teams realized the value of matching fonts across all fronts - endzones, unis, field numbers, etc.... i.e. brand cohesion. I just don't understand how so many marketing departments at that level of play think a bunch of mismatched typefaces look acceptable in this day and age.

I’ve always liked cohesion between football and basketball (most of the time), but it’s cool when the baseball teams have something a bit different.

The sleeve patch looks stitched to me. You can see the directional changes of the thread

I hate how the helmet plume is turned into a circle/roundel element. It doesn’t look right.

Designed that way to form an O for Ottawa (as nash61 said above)

Eh, I think the black pants are fine. It dodges monocolor while keeping the pants dark so that they blend better into the overall uniform; and I really don't think yellow or white would have worked here, since those colors (especially white) aren't abundant enough to not come off kinda like the Avs' black equipment did after Adidas rid of the black stripes on their jerseys.

White pants work amazingly well for all alternate baseball unis. A lot of teams wear white pants with jerseys that have very little white in them (Mariners current alts come to mind)

The blue, yellow, and black remind me of San Jose State when they really went all in with BFBS in the early 2000s. No real similarity, but just the same vibe:

Amy Adams Strunk wearing an Oilers hat tonight lol

ESPN is still using the pre-2022 Eagles wordmark…I still think it looks better than the new one.

ESPN’s 3D logos they’ve used for the last 5-10 years are still pretty awesome IMO lol

I’ve always thought the Rockets should roll with red and white. No black, no silver/gray, just red and white. Probably an unpopular opinion but I think these:

without the black drop shadow and modern tailoring would be really sharp. I love the shorts.

Shorts would probably have worked with a jersey that didn’t have as much going on. Bigger wordmark was definitely needed.

Where did you see this? Not doubting you just curious

On a retail site that sells a lot of mini and full size hemets.  Five new alternate helmets and two tribute helmets are available for pre-order. No images yet though, just “coming soon” place holder graphics.  The alternates are for the Broncos (confirmed), Eagles (confirmed), Lions (confirmed), and Browns and Colts (confirmed by Andrew Lind). 

The other helmets labeled  “tribute” are the Bears’ striped helmet (current shell with throwback stripe decals) and the Dolphins throwback helmet (current shell with throwback decals). 

Sounds like there will be more than seven new alternate/throwback/tribute helmets, as the “coming soon” selection doesn’t include Buccaneers, Seahawks, and Titans/Oilers, and maybe others.

I don't know exactly how popular/unpopular this opinion is, but I would prefer the Broncos to stay away from royal/powder blue when getting new uniforms for a couple of reasons:

1- Our division rivals in the Chargers already own powder blue, so just bringing it back would make us too similar to them, even if it used in a minimal capacity. The connection will be made.

I would disagree with this…if the Broncos bring back royal and orange full time (and not just a throwback), they’ll probably use a true royal metallic or satin finish on the helmets. The Broncos helmets will never look similar to the Chargers nor will their jerseys.

The only reason the Broncos wore lighter blue helmets (which are quite darker than the current Chargers’ blue) in the 80s and 90s was due to equipment restrictions…they had a choice of lighter blue shells or navy shells (which the Rams and Giants and even the Chargers wore). Everything else in the Broncos’ identity was true royal.

The Chargers wore royal blue in the 80s for a bit and no one ever said “Are those the Seahawks?”  Similarly, no one ever was pissed the Chargers and Broncos wore navy for 20+ years.

I thought I read somewhere that the Eagles have permission to wear both the kelly green throwback helmets and their black alternate helmets in 2023

They don’t have permission yet. The two alternate helmet rule has not been voted on by the owners.

Have not heard anything specific on the Vikings but my sources have said the Jets will be going with white lids and for a Namath Era "tribute".

Is the black helmet retired then?

I guess?

 

I’m not sure that if you’re not a uniform nut like all the members of this community, would your first reaction team announcements like this really be “hey, must be a new uniform coming!”? 
 

Most fan’s’ thoughts probably don’t go straight to that assumption. 

Most of the replies on Twitter went straight to a new uniform assumption.

What is this? What is the checkerboard? Is that supposed to be the Calvert part of the Maryland Flag? You cannot have Calvert without Crossland.

The Baltimore city flag is just the Calvert pattern.

Rams teasing something for tomorrow. Most people in the comments believe it’s a new uniform

“We’re proud to announce Sweet Baby Ray’s will be the official barbecue sauce at SoFi”

The best reply in the comments is “Meth?” lol

Most are talking about blue and white unis…but the yellow smoke means something, right?

I apologize if this has already been covered.  Chalk this up to something completely annoying:

 

The White Sox, as of yet, do not have a sleeve sponsorship.  For years on their road grey jerseys and their alternate black jerseys, the diamond-sock logo has been on the right sleeve of the jersey (as you're looking at it), or on the players' left sleeve.  (Sidebar- about 12 years ago, they replaced the diamond sock on the road greys with the old English SOX logo).

 

So, just noticed that on the alternate blacks that they've moved the sleeve logo diamond sock to the left sleeve of the jersey (right sleeve for the player) if they bat right handed so that the other sleeve is more visible to the CF camera when they're batting.  This is obviously setting the jerseys up for eventual sponsor logo.  

 

For someone who's watched thousands of games, the change is glaring.  

It’s the same for most every other team, with or without sponsor.

This is a nice design, but would look better in blue (or navy) and orange. Leave an awful era of Denver football behind (even 2009 was a huge bust) and let Cleveland remain the only brown jerseyed team in the league.

You had made a point of Denver needing a more unique color scheme within the league. Brown and Yellow just about does it.

An orange and royal blue combo is pretty unique in the NFL.

I'm just finding out about this.

 

 

Anyone know if any logos/merch were produced?

They made the choice with Hornets.
