The Patriots’ current uniforms are almost perfect. They just need to go silver pants at home instead of monochrome: But since they insist on COLOR RUSH , or maybe because Robert Kraft or someone in the organization has bad taste, they look incredibly dumb in their primary uniform. So for now I will just sit back and enjoy the Patriots sucking at both football and aesthetics.

So here’s my problem with the Reign branding: Olympique Lyonnais is not a strongly recognized brand in the US. “OL” is asking people to take it a step further and recognize an acronym for a brand that isn’t strongly recognized. Perhaps a more significant issue is that the branding now has next to nothing to do with the region, other than “reign” being a soundalike with “rain”. And the fact that the Reign are an established franchise in the area. But this current branding feels like ownership could just pick it up and move it anywhere, anytime. Maybe they want to. A better compromise in my mind would be to use “Olympique” since this is still the closest NWSL franchise to the Olympic mountains, regardless of whether they play in Tacoma or Seattle. Olympique Reign sounds kind of silly but at least reconciles the two brands better. Olympique Tacoma or Olympique Seattle could also work although I’m sure it would spark unnecessary debate over which city can lay a stronger claim to the team. Meanwhile OL Reign will just get read as Ol’ Reign by many. I don’t know, it’s acceptable in the end, but it just irks me.

I swear to God, if we never get to see Russ in the original Seahawks unis... (although based on the media hysteria he could be gone this offseason)

Did Adidas own Reebok back then? Because if so, intentionally cutting off three stripes as a uniform element is even more ridiculous

The Panthers present a compelling case as to why monochrome suuuuuucks

Noooooo! I love the wordmark, probably because of stupid lizard brain nostalgia. But I still love it. It’s unique for sports. I don’t see what’s wrong with an upper Midwest state aligning themselves with the department store lifestyle lol.

I’ll third that. I LOVE powder blue and red as a color scheme, it bugs me how many teams shy away from it (my high school even dropped red in favor of dark blue as a secondary color). It also provides the added bonus of distancing themselves even further from being the “Confederacy” school. Along those lines, I wish either they would drop the Rebels nickname, or get Disney to license them use of the Star Wars rebel logo as a secondary. The whole land shark secondary thing is kind of lame IMO. At the end of the day it isn’t a “PC” thing. The “Rebels” referenced by their nickname fought for slavery and committed treason against the US. It should go along with the other bad nicknames in sports.

Cover up one logo, I might believe it. Cover up TWO logos? Yeah, you are protesting. They should really be protesting the CFP committee though.

Doesn’t ND spray their helmets with actual gold flecks? I feel like actual gold is more yellow than the old gold or Vegas gold most teams use. The real problem with Norte Dame is not getting pants to match. It’s like a Cowboys situation up there. Bonus Edit: Also the Fiesta Bowl may be the worst NY6 matchup of all time. Poor Indiana. The only team that “deserves” to be in the game is the Oregon team that only made the PAC-12 championship game because of Covid. Iowa State’s selection was an absolute joke. End zones look good though

Did Texas get... bone’d?

There are much bigger problems with Liberty as an institution than a bird logo. Too bad we didn’t go with Ben Franklin’s turkey... we’d have much more interesting logos.

Are we sure we can’t squeeze a few more patches on the ISU jersey?

All of this because their Dixie wrecked.

This is why it’s so incredibly stupid we got rid of any gray on the white tops. In an incredibly misguided effort to generate many mix-and-match combos they destroyed any flow the uni has from top to bottom. And as a bonus we now have incredibly boring unis that you couldn’t tell apart from Stanford if you were just flipping through the channels quickly. I JUST WANT OUR SHOULDER STRIPES BACK

LOL Why look good when you can reach out to males ages 16-22, the single dumbest subsection of consumers alive.

i wonder if the Sean Miller/FBI/Fraud thing had anything to do with that... or Nike just wanted to metaphorically spike the football on their rivals for both screwing up the UCLA account in different ways.

Nike, you know what to do. It’s Clarendon time. It’s wild that Adidas’ once-flagship school is now under a Nike brand.

Um... I think you’re thinking of the wrong kind of Vandals

Same. Of course it doesn’t “look” like Florida to many... the orange helmets are key to Florida’s usual look. But these are great IMO as a one-off or once-a-year kind of thing.

I think they’re decent but Army and Nike win the uni battle yet again. I swear sometimes UA thinks all you have to do is throw together a mishmash of random elements... you don’t necessarily make it need to all look good together. Army/Navy should be a color vs. color game too.

Red face masks on red helmets look bad, but I agree gray mainly says “USC”. Iowa State should use white or yellow. Also shout out to the Beavers, taking home the platypus trophy in those orange unis.

That nameplate messes up what is otherwise a nice look for Oregon. Credit where credit is due... they look good with that green.

I like this... but now they come even closer to matching the other black and gold “I” school in Iowa. I think the major shift away from metallic gold is a little misguided, although the wordmark is excellent and yellow-gold is still overall underused in sports. I like the gray accents as well because they are another “silver and gold” school similar to Colorado. It’s also still sad to see them in the Big Sky. It makes no sense... the athletic dept. lost a ton of funding and they aren’t anywhere close to being an FCS juggernaut like NDSU.

More teams should consider a secondary logo on the sleeve instead of TV numbers. Looks awesome.

Sorry, helmet stripes are a bad example. I mean more like the sleeve issues on Purdue, etc.
