  1. If Texas Tech is switching to adidas then I think any new UA jerseys are out of the picture.
  2. Weird to see three new alternate jerseys all have circle crests (Ducks/Lightning/Sharks). Seems like that's the new trending theme. Also...I realize alt NHL jerseys were introduced in Jan '96 (IIRC), but it sure seems weird to wait a half a season and then say "Oh yeah...by the way...here's our new jersey for a few games this year".
  3. Are you saying the font is off or the numbers weren't there last year? Keep in mind these are still replica jerseys (and as you noted, photoshopped).
  4. The weirdest part is him saying Nike has been working on this new logo for the Broncos for five years. Not sure how a digital printer in Ohio would know that information...and not sure how that length of time would be possible with the Broncos' ownership change, especially with the surveys only going out in 2022. It's possible but not likely. If Nike designers are telling third-party digital printers (who aren't stakeholders in Nike) that a new design is in the works five years in advance, then it seems like a weird situation for the designers. The NDA stuff...meh...Jesse isn't disclosing anything proprietary. Reddit posters think NDAs force people to not talk about it at all, and that's not 100% true, so the comments on Reddit about this are hilariously off base (if anyone happens to read them). Does anyone know if the one sheets/logo slicks are actually sent out in January by the NFL?
  5. nm I'm gonna get suspended if this goes further.
  6. Maybe unpopular opinion - I like the softer purple for the Lakers just because IMO it gives more of a southern California golden hour/sunset vibe, or at least how I think of it. The pre-1999 purple is actually my preference.
  7. Major League Baseball gave the option to players to wear BLM patches in 2020...and luckily, those who didn't weren't lambasted for being a raging bigot and racist (or maybe they were but that animosity didn't really last very long). Players weren't coerced to wear one. They don't wear them anymore but I don't think it's because the league is losing out to the right-wing fringe. Not every NFL player who changed their rear bumper decal from "Black Lives Matter" in 2020 to "Inspire Change" or whatever in the following years is suddenly against the idea that Black Lives Matter. The Jackie Robinson celebration is a bit different because those jersey are worn during actual games...players get paid during actual games. The celebration was likely approved through collective bargaining, just like ads were approved by MLBPA. I would bet not everyone wears a 42 shirt or jersey during BP every April 15th, nor do I think anyone is forced to wear something during BP. And the tribute to Jackie is a bit different because Jackie didn't require everyone to accept or champion him. I don't think Jackie ever required MLB to celebrate him after he retired. Tangentially, I don't think the NFL should have salute to service month...and I really don't care for most of the military tributes on uniforms or the redesigned logos...and it's not because I hate the military. I just think it's played out. Nobody's going to think less or more of the military no matter what the NFL or a college football team wears. I couldn't give two :censored:s if hockey players didn't wear military warm up jerseys in the NHL. I think it's silly they're included in EA's NHL game. I would, however, be really creeped out if NHL reporters said a player should be banned, arrested, and/or deported if a player didn't participate in a military appreciation warm up night.
  8. Keep thinking that one over. And I hate to break it to you, but some people don’t like being coerced into doing stuff. That’s just how the world works. Several teams didn’t wear Pride jerseys last year…including one of Canada’s biggest teams (if not the biggest)…and actually even your Senators didn’t wear warm up jerseys…and the world carried on just fine and everyone forgot about it a week later. Every team held a Pride night with hundreds of Pride-themed celebrations and events and other Pride collectibles. Those aren’t going away…you have to incredibly neurotic to see a list like that and claim “the league is losing to the homophobes”
  9. “I want to support the charities, but what’s in it for me?” is always a weird argument from “altruistic” people.
  10. They’ll still have the theme nights. Warm up jerseys were always a ridiculous idea in hindsight, especially if the league’s most prominent reporters were advocating players be banned, arrested, and deported for not wearing the warm up jersey. Seinfeld’s “Who’s not wearing the ribbon?” episode was spot on in this case. Fans will just have to donate to charities without expecting something in return.
  11. My distaste of the pants stripes has more to do with them being thick at the top and really thin at the bottom. The tapered look doesn’t match the helmet stripes.
  12. Those pants stripes just don’t make any sense
  13. To be fair it’s more silver than shiny chrome, to match the shell. Falcons and Cardinals also introduced silver masks after the Lions. The Rams should have done a metallic mask instead of regular blue.
  14. Still amazes me the Samuelis stuck with those jerseys for another year, and probably no changes after the adidas deal expires. The look has some local brand equity as practice rinks have a derivative version of it…but it’s just so early 2010s and everyone wants 90s lol
  15. I don’t think anyone liked the silver helmet with the gray jersey, which is opposite of the Saints’ pre-2022 quasi-throwback look.
  16. The blue helmet will probably return next but without the historical logo (probably regular logo instead).
  17. It looks like CSU redesigned the horns a bit…they’ve always been a tad different than classic LA Rams, but the horns seem to be very different in these pics.
  18. Silver helmets would definitely look better IMO, but the rest of the uniform looks great. Drop-shadows are sharp when done right.
  19. Didn’t the Miami ASG only have orange and blue hats with that bubbly looking material? Maybe I’m misremembering. Update: There was this set...which I don't think was really ever worn, which was in blue and orange: But the 2017 ASG (which I think were the actual game hats) also had team color hats in this pattern, which were pretty nice though seemed to be better suited for the LA game than the Miami game:
  20. I wish the sleeve numbers were outlined (orange outlines on the black numbers and black outlines on the white), and get rid of the nameplates.
  21. The workout hats with the team-specific color stripes are pretty nice…it’s an interesting idea.
  22. Yeah the blue car with silver stripes wasn’t just by chance.
  23. The alternate helmet can’t be worn with regular home and road unis.
  24. Lions wore blank light blue helmets from 1950-55. My guess is that will be the shell but not sure as what the logo will be, if any. (ALT HMT is blue…Lions trying to be clever) edit: Metallic blue helmet, silver stripes, silver logo, and a metallic blue facemask is my guess. Essentially an inverse of the current helmet, to go with the gray jersey set.
