Not saying they wear Dodgers throwbacks, just use the pattern, which 99% of fans wouldn't connect to the Dodgers unless it was pointed out. As for the being about the city, that's the point. Use a subway tile inspired design with the windowpane as the architecture. And also, half of these teams are misunderstanding the assignment of "CITY". It's a dumb program that could be marginally better if they lifted a dumb name that doesn't mean anything.

The Mets really blew the opportunity to use the old windowpane plaid the Dodgers had. Ties in with the city's history and gives the perfect backdrop to a subway tile mosaic treatment. This doesn't have to be that hard.

Incredible. Start the countdown to that replacing the robohorse in 5 years

The most recent of those was the Panthers in the 90s, most of the others 50 years+. Notice the pattern? Trademarks and lawsuits have all but made this trend a non-starter.

Putting on my tin foil hat for a moment, Nike seems to have a knack at putting out sets that garner 40-60% approval, leaving 40-60% wanting more. City Edition/Connection is another lane of the highway. A large majority of their clientele is living in the petri dish. There's a vibe of planned obsolescence in what they produce. Capital Rules Everything Around Me.

MC Neal's first three albums were stellar

Make this weirdo helmet happen. I was endlessly intrigued by these coaches jackets when I was a kid.

I submitted Oxen, Unique, region appropriate, a variety of ways to go thematically (pioneers, tough aggro, stoic, single or a team). Utah Oxen rolls off the tongue in a pleasant, sing-songy way. "the Ox" is a nice sub-nickname, too. And lets get a primarily brown colored hockey team!

Hey. Don't gloss over that the easter egg is a beaver. And there's some nice, uniquely arched type om there too.

Oregon has a unique design on either side of our flag. I think that gets us in the top 5.

The Lakers should be the first team to jump on this. The perfect bridge from the two tone blue hardwood classics and a modern city edition, which have often been real stinkers. I'd much rather see a rotation of Yellow/Forum Blue/White/ LAvender (sorry) and occasionally Black

They really are missing the boat. They could even do a modern, non-traditional look emphasizing wrought iron and tarnished brass with a lot of ornamental frippery and it'd be miles ahead. And that's coming from a instinct to just go back to the expansion look.

I'm old and probably thinking of 2K14

Counterpoint: That's polished gold brick gold. The current color is more representative of the gold being pulled from the earth as the name refers. Better yet a dirtier old gold like the Saints wore would be more fitting than the champagne adjacent color now.

It finally hit me as to what these nike uniforms look like: it's video game renderings. Always something that bothered me about them. even the best games, is that the unis have an uncanny valley vibe. Numbers too small, trim too weird, player names always "off". What if Nike's team is full of people that spent more hours playing 2K or The Show than they did watching baseball. It could explain a lot.

The hill I'll die on is the should swap grey, white and brown facemasks depending on combos. Grey with brown jersey/white pants, white with brown/orange & white/orange, brown with white throwbacks & any time the insist on brown pants.

Spot on. They invented a market to sell more design work under the guise of more merch sales. Smart business move, but the quality couldn't keep up. On the positive side, I'm seeing a ton of new names of designers and studios popping up on some of these jobs. That's great news for the industry.

The simplest explainer on the difference in finished product between Studio Simon and Brandiose. Dan Simon has such a sophisticated touch with even the most playful brands. Rarely misses and illustrates the quality vs quantity debate. Now that business has seemingly slowed down for Brandiose (unless City Name/Alleged Regional Food fad somehow continues), I look forward to seeing how/if they can step up their game with a little more time for craft.

I'm not sure why shabby unis weren't excpected. It's Nike's MO. Doesn't anybody remember the NBA rollout? Nike's new NBA jerseys cannot stop falling apart. https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2017/11/6/16612728/nike-nba-jerseys-ripping-tearing-lebron-james Also, I'm tired of everyone parroting their line about "xx% lighter/engineered/etc". It's simple: every millimeter of fabric saved, every patch printed, every fabric swapped is multiplied by millions. It's not bad enough they pay slave wages, More for the bottom line. We complain for a few weeks and then just eat the slop.

Looks like a Kenny Washington tribute. Likely timed with black history month. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2016/02/14/coliseum-los-angeles-integration-national-football-league-nfl/77788824/ Kind of a weird thing to be a merch drop although they do quite a few capsule collections. It'd be a nice move to announce a throwback in this manner. Fingers crossed.

I could see the Titans at least bringing back the white helmet. It's already there with the Oilers throwback and could be worn as an alternate a couple of times.

Being in Eugene, I'm sure you're well aware how athletics have supplanted academics as the primary function of the institution. It was only a matter of time, In a way, it's understandable as brand recognition goes, but it's still pretty gross.
