Would be quite disappointing, which is on brand.

 

It's an odd photo.  The player is wearing a Speedflex helmet yet socks that haven't been worn in the league in a half decade or longer.  The cleats look like a really old style.  And that number font looks terribly generic; it actually reminds me of a retired Nike Team font.   The jersey is obviously a newer template and not a practice jersey.  Just odd.

The number font in the photo is the current Cardinals font

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.

Why is that hill there anyway?

From what I understand…Back in the 60s they took out the track, but they didn’t want people sitting too high over the field, especially those in the first rows of that end. So they built the hill up to reduce the height. It’s essentially a “safety measure” in case people go over the railing.

Those actually look to be pants. The different sized holes match the perforation pattern on the Vapor Fusion pants, so they should be part of the new set.

Doesn’t look to be a Virginia Tech maroon though, unless the lighting’s just crazy

This entire sequence has made me despise the city of Las Vegas. They have had a boatload of sports teams just handed to them in just the past 5 years at the expense of far more dedicated fans in Oakland. They don't deserve this. They just don't.

I mean, the Raiders were going to move to anywhere else by 2030 no matter what. 

A number of local Oakland groups didn’t want a new A’s stadium in any scenario and hey congrats to them for pushing the team out of the state. Mission accomplished!

William and Mary had/maybe still has dark green hats with Vegas gold accents…and they looked pretty good. Though I hope the A’s continue with green and athletic yellow, wouldn’t be shocked if they changed the shade.

Someone on Reddit also posted that's what the uniforms were like. That's drastically different than the graphic that was posted a while ago.  I find it very hard to believe all this build up for plain white and red. And if those uniforms are correct why even bother having a unique helmet?

The Buckeye-looking uniforms are someone’s guess…the guy posted on Twitter that it’s just a concept he came up with

In the end, you're vastly overthinking it.  The old stadium is in the logo.  Some social media person stitched together a photo of the two stadiums to show that the old one's look and meaning were emulated in the building of the new one.  They basically wanted to build a new one across the street (with many more money-making amenities).

That’s not what’s implied at first glance though. It’s a rare clumsy move from the Yanks. 

If the White Sox celebrated the 85th anniversary of Comiskey Park in 1995  by stitching together the old and new park, people would still say the new park has very little to do with the old one and the old one didn’t last 85 years.

So Paul and Ringo better not pose for any pictures in connection with the 60th anniversary of the Beatles' first album.  Egad.

You’re moving the goal posts and/or arguing in bad faith.

 I’m not saying Reggie Jackson and Derek Jeter can’t take pictures with an old photo of old Yankee Stadium in their hands. That’s fine…they’re celebrating the  original relic. If they celebrated by holding a picture of new Yankee Stadium, then it wouldn’t make much sense. 

If Paul. and Ringo made an album with two other musicians tomorrow it wouldn’t really be The Beatles. If Ringo and Paul were in a picture with four members of a Beatles cover band with the title “60th Anniversary of the Beatles first album” everyone would ask why the cover band was included.

Oy. It's the anniversary of an historic event.

 

Next year will be the 60th anniversary of the release of the Beatles' first album. And it will be celebrated as such. Absolutely no one thinks that the celebration of that anniversary implies that the Beatles are still together.

 

The year 1923 is the date of the opening of Yankee Stadium. That will be worth celebrating in 2023, in 2073, in 2123, and so forth — no matter what stadiums the Yankees are playing in at those times.

Then they shouldn’t have put new Yankee Stadium in the graphic, if it’s only about an old Yankee Stadium event.

You don’t celebrate the anniversary of Beatles first album by showing every other album that came after it…if you did, you’d just be celebrating 60 years of Beatles’ music. 

When we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, not much attention was paid to the other five successful trips. All the focus was on  Apollo 11.

Feel like I've been seeing so many black uniforms recently... 13/16 teams in the playoffs have one!! No black for Philly, Lakers, or Denver.

 

Timberwolves is very much gray.

1. It's 100 years since Yankee Stadium I opened.

 

2. It's 100 years that they've called 151st and River their "home".

 

3. It's 100 years that they've played in a ballpark named "Yankee Stadium".

 

Like I said, as far as I've seen words from official sources never seem to phrase it in a way that explicitly say their current building is 100 years old.  The celebration is of the anniversary of their move into their own ballpark and their standing on their legs as a franchise.

Should have gone with “100 Years of Yankee Stadium”

Which it is, as the original Yankee Stadium opened in 1923.

When you marry two people with the same name, you don’t combine the years when you celebrate anniversaries.

Hear me out. The teams bring all these uniforms back but like slightly modernize them. For instance bucs move the numbers from the sleeves to shoulders and then add the logo from the helmet where the sleeve numbers were. For eagles make a black version of that jersey alongside the white and green. Stays similar but different at the same time.

Why would they put the Bucco Bruce helmet logo on the sleeves? 

Stripes on the sleeve, fine…numbers on the shoulder, ok…but there’s no reason for the logo to be on the sleeves

Just walked over to the Van Buren in Phoenix, nothing over there yet. I bet the Cardinals are making this all up.

“We know you all have heard rumors about new uniforms, and we’re excited to unveil them today… with that said, please take a look at the new Nike jersey template we’ll wear in the fall” - solid 10% chance this happens

Because I like it for multiple reasons and feel it would've been a better decision than the helmet & color combo they went with. 

There are a ton more teams in the league wearing Black/Black or Navy/Navy helmet/facemask combos then there are teams that wear Silver or White helmets with Dark facemasks.  Carolina would be the only other one, off the top of my head.  And the Falcons' best look of all-time - in my opinion - were the Deion-era uniforms with Silver pants.

The Chargers alternate white helmet with navy mask is the worst one in their set, and the basis of it didn’t look great from 2007-18. The Texans prototype white helmet with navy mask isn’t as cool as the red one.

Last comment on this because I get triggered when I see the ATL uniforms:  find me someone on the planet who thinks Atlanta's current set is better than this, or a slightly modernized version of this:

 

And again, if you put that Black/White/Red logo on this helmet below, with a helmet stripe that matches the pant stripe, and Grey pants, it's a tremendous uniform:

The black helmet is fine, especially with a dark metallic helmet already in the division.

Looks like Colorado painted the end zones black and gold.  Don't think they ever painted the end zones full colors before.  Could be just for the Spring Game on Saturday 

It’s kind of shocking in this day (from a ticket/revenue standpoint) that CU still has the “Colorado” hill past the endzone…but everyone would complain if it was removed. Just an odd quirk that it’s there because it’s seemingly always been there.

With all due respect, we talked about that sign weeks ago. One sign doesn’t tell us much…what did previous signs look like?

Nike should only get half credit for the changes that they made to Cleveland and Tampa Bay. The original uniforms were an abomination and the updates just corrected that.

 

There are a few "original" Nike uniforms that could be up for debate as far as their greatness goes, but I only really love the Chargers, Bengals, and Vikings uniforms from that list. The Seahawks, Jets, Falcons, Patriots, and Lions are all anywhere from okay to above average. The original Jaguars, Bucs, and Browns were horrible. Currently, the Rams and Titans uniforms are close to the bottom of the league, and the Dolphins are such a downgrade from even anything they have had previously.

I’d say the current Dolphins look is far better designed than the 97-12 Machine font-with-navy-dropshadow jerseys. The leaping helmeted dolphin is better than the current dolphin though.

It's just to sell ads and one more thing for gamblers to gamble on.  Don't care either way, but it'll be one more chance for a star player to get injured, like Giannis, Herro, Paul George, Jokic, Morant, etc.

Why will the injuries increase if these games are replacing regular season games? 

Wazzu’s big announcement was spring game unis…same unis, gray helmets for both crimson and white jerseys

Thinking about the Nike redesigns since they took over the league.

 

Home runs:

Bengals

Chargers

Bucs return

Bills

Browns back to normal

Vikings

 

Good, not great:

Jets

Patriots

Seahawks

Jaguars Plain

Rams

Washington Football Team

Detroit tweak

 

Absolute Garbage:

Jaguars Half-helmet

Titans

Bucs Alarm Clock 

Dolphins

Cleveland BOLD DROP SHADOWS

Commanders

Falcons

 

Am I missing any?

 

2013 Dolphins was garbage. 2018 Dolphins was good.

I would like to note that the last full Cardinals revamp, dang near twenty years ago, absolutely melted this site down for a little while. And then when we were all able to log back on, we talked about how it was an immediately dated and substandard look from the neck down.

Though the logo was officially revealed at or just before the Pro Bowl because it was everywhere at the new stadium. One of the earliest new logo reveals I can remember.

Hopefully Wazzu is finally ditching that undercooked set its had for years. 

Looking forward to the “We’re just switching to anthracite and white now but adding more black” news
