Not a single one of these proposed names is screaming "home run."  But then again, Golden Knights sounded ridiculous at first and they knocked it out of the park with their branding...  Until they made the gaudy gold jersey their primary.

The “Golden Knights”name  I can handle…it’s “Vegas” instead of “Las Vegas” that sickens me. 

Blizzard, Fury, Venom, Yetis.  Seriously, it’s the NBA expansion version of Heat, Magic, and Thunder.  F- choices.

I've always wanted the Yankees to wear this in a regular season game. This is all you need to do.

 

 

That’s gonna be a “no” from me, dawg.

PREACH!

Union College has dropped the Dutchmen and Dutchwomen athletic identities and rebranded as the Garnet Chargers.
 

Garnet has long been Union’s  official school color, while the Chargers portion of the new identity references Schenectady, New York’s  “legacy as a hub of electrical innovation and invention”, as well as being “an apt metaphor for the high-energy, forward-looking Union College experience”.

 

Garnet Chargers beat out Garnet Griffins, Garnet Hawks, and Garnet Storm amongst four finalist identities. A Garnet Chargers mascot will be unveiled in the fall.

“Nike-splain” it all you want, this is an AWFUL nickname.  The fact that Garnet Hawks was a finalist tells you all you need to know about the choices.  
 

F-

You forgot the Colts and their super on-brand black helmets.

 

It’s funny how a few days of teams bringing back throwbacks has everyone fooled that uniform aesthetics are improving, yet we still have several teams doing stuff like this, which pretty much cancels out any “progress”.

Good heavens I completely forgot that one.  Yea, that outfit is ridiculous.  

So the new trend is wearing helmets that don’t match anything else at all in the uniform?

First the Lions in Honolulu blue helmets and all grey uniforms and now Denver in white helmets and all orange.  
 

Yuck.

 Tennessee doesn't deserve the Oilers identity after changing their name, uniform and all likeness to the Oilers brand, having evolved into a team whose primary colors are now navy and silver.

 

Also, nothing's stopping the Texans from doing this:

 

 

I could actually root for the Texans if that were to happen.

This makes me want to cry…

I was speaking to the post I quoted that said Detroit is rebranding (once again) next season.

And that is certainly concerning, isn’t it?   I know I fear the worst.

Can't win on the field so all they do is rebrand.

 

Which franchise rebrands more at this point, the Lions or Jaguars? Detroit should have more respect for itself.

Simmer down, it’s an alternate helmet using a vintage logo.  Last I checked, all the cool kids were doing it.

What particularly scared me about the new uniforms coming next year is that the team president referred to them as "significant", while in the same breath calling the 2017 set a "tweaking."

I’m just hoping it’s more grey on grey on grey on grey.  I just can’t get enough mono-color these days out of the NFL.  Keep it up, looks great.

Prior orange > newer orange. That is all. 

 

(Oh and single-layer sleeve numbers are booboo.)

I also liked the previous orange.  

I’m getting misty-eyed just looking at these Buccaneers photos.

Dolphins going to the full-time throwbacks yet?  Oh, and ditching the Dolphin Hotel & Resort logo?

Alts should be forbidden from series clinching games and the entire Finals.

 

EXHIBIT A:

 

Someday, we’ll look back at v-neck t-shirts on the basketball court the same way we do the Chicago White Sox when they busted out shorts and long socks on the baseball diamond.

It was speculated the Falcons would keep the Vapor Untouchable template, however, that appears incorrect.

 

 

Still horrible.  Maybe if the ATL was bigger I would like them more.  More side stripes too.

I didn’t have the Arizona Buckeyes on my Bingo card but evidently the same color socks as the jersey and pants is still a thing that teams think is drippy. 

If “Dumb and Dumber” was an NFL franchise…

2 minutes in and we already have a “drip” reference.

 

This might be a debacle.

“MIGHT” be?  You’re more optimistic than I am!

I really hate how the Kings gave out white Playoff t shirts for the fans, but the team is wearing black against the Warriors in white.

Sounds like a good time to plug my concept lol. Pretty much exactly what you're asking for:

I made another concept that was dedicated to trying to utilize the current color scheme but ideally this is what I want us to look like.

YES!  Just what we need with fronts and backs of jerseys having different shades of color too!  Why didn’t Nike think of this a long time ago?

I’m sorry, but the NBA has completely jumped the shark in regards to teams and jerseys.  There is no brand identity for anyone anymore as jerseys that are the latest hot take become a “throwback” a season later when they are discontinued.  Having 75 different home courts just muddies it up even more.  

Home, road, and alternate.  That’s all we need.  Now you whippersnappers get off my lawn!
