Honestly, my biggest gripe with the last set was that the color rush numbers (red on navy) were hard to see. So brightening the red and adding some shine, along with darkening the navy is a win for me. As far as the set: I'm a traditionalist and a Texans fan who loved the original set. I like em. Don't love em, but they are farrrr better than they could've been. I was expecting something along the lines of the broncos/old jags/old Bucs. Are they perfect? No? There are a lot of things I would change. but they still look like the Texans. And the Color rush is pretty unique as far as the rest of the league goes.

Some of my earliest NFL memories were watching John Elway and the Broncos winning the Super Bowl in these. I was young enough to not really know what a uniform was supposed to look like, I just knew these were so cool that I had no choice but to root for them. Elway was my favorite player until he retired.

Tuesday morning. I believe 10am. With a a jersey party later in the day. It's not so much photoshop files as it is Illustrator/PDFs on a screen. In fairness, these are samples of artwork for retail jerseys not the on field jerseys, but I would venture to guess there will be little to no changes on the final product. As a Texans fan, I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't think that will be the case.

Their previous uniforms were great. When they were introduced USC didn't even wear that design and the Texans owned that look in the NFL. Pair that with a great number font and it was a solid set that aged well for over 2 decades. I don't personally mind sets that aren't cohesive across the board (love the giants, cowboys are iconic), but how do they have a really identity now with mismatched sets, different color schemes and different helmet logos? And how can we say that before they've even been officially unveiled??

In fairness they said throughout the process that the 4th uniform will be a little crazier and the 3 main uniforms will be more traditional with the alternative being "bull like"-presumably horns on the helmet. I'm gonna wait and see the whole set before forming a full opinion but I dont 100% love the new alt H mark. I was relieved when I saw the aways however, was honestly expecting way worse. Also side note, but if you look on the crown of the helmet in the video, near the top left of the decal, there appears to be some red metallic flake in the finish. Could be a cool little detail.

The home partially blurrily leaked earlier this week and was confirmed with a navy helmet. BUT, according to a story they put out yesterday they can indeed mix and match the core helmets with the core uniforms. But Color rush helmet can only be mixed with color rush (and possibly the alt, ill have to reread it).

That's my understanding. However this appears to be the same navy base shell, so I wonder if white (or light blue) is still in play. I know Buffalo switched out their facemasks a few years back.

LEAK:

Solid leak from the Lions. I don't mind the perforated numbers, my only issue is that they were "inspired" by the stadium exterior for the Cardinals. I hope there isn't a story for the Lions and Texans using perforated numbers. I'd rather that element just go unspoken tbh.

Third helmet confirmed. Presumably White - possibly "H-Town" Blue

Again, I'm not arguing that the Rockets logo is great, just that the thunder logo is worse. I'm not even saying most of your points aren't valid. The Rockets logo uses the Rockets font that is on all of their core uniforms. The Thunder uses two different typefaces, one of which was lifted straight from the Steve Nash era Suns uniforms and didn't appear on any uniform until this season's City. The Thunder logo just has way too much going on for a logo that literally means nothing. Good craftsmanship or not.

No, I read that, but I can't find an actual visual example of that. Is there a document or something with type that resembles this new Phillies word mark?

Can somebody who's more well versed with Philly/US History explain the typeface? Is it supposed to look like ripped paper?

The Rockets logo isn't perfect by any means, but you can at least read the full team name which should be one base line for global marks, and you can see some semblance of an abstract planet/ring/space tie in. I couldn't describe the Thunder OKC logo if I had to. When it initially leaked I thought it was an abstract fish. But it's also not generic enough to work like a Brooklyn Nets type logo.

This might become a chicken or egg question...but the no white bottoms were a direct result from the color rush initiative. Was color rush a Nike or an NFL idea?

OKC would like to have a word...

First official look at the new "H-Town Blue".

I've heard the same about the H-Town Blue. I know their VP mentioned that the light blue color has a history in Houston outside of football/oilers, so I'm curious which route they decide to go with the story. He specifically mentioned the old police cars and the street tiles.

But it's a rebrand (or refresh if we're being more accurate) so they could switch to purple and green in theory and there would be no rule against that, would there?

Chargers have 2 different blue alternate sets that aren't on the primary uniform or primary logo. Also I would guess like someone mentioned its a shade of light blue but not the same shade as the oilers.

Oxford blue! As a non Oregonian, that carpet is seemingly iconic, and I've definitely known about that carpet for years. I wanna say Dame had shoes that had some carpet elements too..?

Did we ever get a backstory to the maroon and orange? This one actually sounded like it had legitimate sources. Was it just an initial option that ended up not making the final cut? I'm still very curious about that whole debacle.

Honestly I mean almost generally speaking a colored facemask doesn't look good on a dark/black helmet. I think these would both look better with black facemasks.

Everyone here has valid thoughts re: TV numbers, but also sometimes you gotta know when it's time for them to go. No one's reading these numbers from row 53.

I feel like I'm going crazy, but I hate red facemasks on dark helmets. It gives generic high school vibes. It always looks worse than a solid dark colored helmet to me.
