So it was Ohtani Shohei when he was in Japan?
-
Miami vs Virginia Tech is a great looking game.

I believe the other account sharing this font preview is Ali Murji; the letters are san-serif, which makes it a bit different from the 1995 letters.
-
Seems like most of the flower design will disappear when tucked into the shorts.
-
Some might have trouble finding the CLT jerseys though.
-
I think the major networks are doing this moreso than the NHL. The networks realized they can get money from their own set of dasher ads and minimize ads for companies who aren't paying them.

I had no idea that Amon was very much built into/below ground

The mothership has a new article about the Knicks' new statement unis...CC97 says they're black unis (and I think they'd look better if they were black...the shorts are pretty cool). https://news.sportslogos.net/2022/10/12/new-york-knicks-release-new-black-2023-statement-edition-uniform/basketball/ Lockervision says they're navy blue The uniform's college navy body is punctuated by bright ombre piping on the sides, which speaks to the hard work ethic and boldness thst Knicks players bring to the court

They're not even the same pattern for the same player?
-
A way-out-there-and-I'd-be-incredibly-surprised-if-true guess that's is vaguely tangential based on the colors... Is it supposed to be an all-caps mark that resembles Haunted Mansion?
-
These graphics would look way cooler as wall coverings around the stadium than on the helmet. I think they're trying to compete with Utah's helmets...but they don't need to.
-
P2P on YouTube says RR teaser days are October 19-21.
-
I believe the pattern is a nod to Cinderella Castle. The colors, though...jfc...fans: "We like the black and blue!" Team and Nike: "Okay we hear our wonderful fans (!) but what about orange, gray, and/or navy??"
-
Three jerseys this year are going to be nothing but black/dark gray and white outlines?
-
How are they weak for a team with green and white as colors?
-
Missouri should stick to wearing black helmets and let the team in Baton Rouge be the Tiger team with yellow helmets.
-
These end zones look great...I think I love that it uses the entire end zone. The Pats' social media team may be easter-egging us. I think - based on what I can remember - that the wordmark in the bottom right corner (under the digital Pat logo) is close to the end zone wordmark used from 1990-92. It's pretty similar. Also close to the wordmark used on the back bumpers of those early 90s years.

I'm digging what Michigan State is wearing today...the triple stripe looks good, but needs triple stripes on the pants And Virginia looks great in the gloss navy helmets/navy jerseys/white pants. As much as I like the white helmets, today’s uni is on point. Michigan vs Indiana is a great looking game.
-
I believe it’s the font Sullivan/Foxboro Stadium had in the 80s, with the blue endzones and red letters. Very close to a TNR font that never appeared anywhere else.

Obviously money is a part of it. I'd rather a team make money off historical looks than random flavor-of-the-month alternate looks. When the Phillies wear throwbacks, my first question isn't "Is this the best uniform they have?" My first question is "How great is it they wear it once in a while?" And nobody thinks the Bears' or Packers' throwbacks are better than the current looks, but I don't mind them trying something different for 15% of the season. If you ever watch "Making the Cut" they have designers who have strong pride in their brands, and the judges appreciate designers wanting to have strong brands, but almost always the judges suggest they get out of their comfort zone at least once. The thing is the NFL probably has 30 of the top 50 most mature, strongest brands in sports. The Cowboys' brand is so strong that they're going to wear white helmets and white pants with different stripes and everyone will still know they're the Cowboys. There won't be any confusion. There won't be any dilution. Jerry Jones - who takes pride in the strong Cowboys brand - isn't worried about it.

You realize some people have modern daily driver cars and then they also have collector cars right? Comparing updated football uniforms to a horse & buggy-to-automobile modernization is apples and oranges. "If they're so great they should be brought back full time" is a fairly weak argument. Alternates are possible. I have a great suit that is arguably better than the rest of my suits but I don't wear it every day. I don't wear it to every important meeting. I like to change it up. Pushing the idea that there's some strict heirarchy for all teams doesn't pass muster. Tradition and history are important to a team's brand. Wearing something that honors the past and allows fans to indulge memories of the past at an event that lasts for three hours isn't apocalyptic.
-
Granted we haven't seen them...but assuming they're halfway decent looking, it'd be a shame if they only wear them once. Lou will be Lou, though.

When the Bills, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Eagles, and (hopefully) Broncos wear throwbacks next year just for fun and nostalgia reasons, I'm not going to complain. And to add - throwbacks are far less likely to be BFBS or GFGS. Leotard looks happen with current throwbacks (49ers white, Giants white) because of Color Rush, which is a shame but hopefully that fad phases out. If you don't like those modern trends, it seems like throwbacks (and the traditional looks that come with them) would be preferable.

You should have just said “I hate jerseys with black and royal blue”. No reason to ask for examples if you already know what the outcome will be.
-
Opinions are subjective. You don’t have to like it. I like it, and think it’s worlds better thsn what they currently wear, and the reverse retro was great, too.
