The color rush uniform and helmet combo will still be worn this year. Week 3 I believe. And likely with the “current” helmet but re-fitted with throwback decal and white facemask like the past 6 years. By the way, if anyone is counting the Giants will wear 4 different sets of white pants this year - “home” - white with blue-gray-red-gray-blue stripe ”road” - white with red-white-red-white-red northwestern stripe ”color rush” - white with blue-red-blue stripe ”classic - white with blue-red-blue stripe the color rush and classic are very similar but have different colors. The color rush is inspired by the 80s-90s road uniforms but in 2000’s colors. the classic have the actual shades of blue and red from that era.

Not sure if this was mentioned but the Commanders are officially fixing their secondary logo to have the correct championship season years:
-
Super Bowl XLVI 10th anniversary logo
-
^ Eli Manning jersey retirement logo

Logowise its nice. Nice modern update of the original. The colors are more inviting and less aggressive than the old one. the strokes overlap in weird ways but it works for me. There's some technical issues with it .. like for example the navy outer stroke around XFL doesn't extend into the big X... you can see under and above the F there's no navy stroke there.. so that's a little weird. But this could be a placeholder anyway

This is a bad answer, but my guess would be because the changes to the Rangers shield logo aren't THAT significant - to lay, non logo obsessed people anyway. That maybe putting different NYR logos would look sloppy, rather than a nice nod to the time period. Whereas the Knicks logos are different enough that it successfully shows the evolution of the logo and the team identity at the time. Again, not a great answer but that makes sense to me.

I'm surprised they retired his number before Glenn Robinson's #13...I think the Big Dog did a LOT more for the franchise and its culture. More than playing in three All-Star Games (1973, 1975, 1976) and starting at forward for a championship team (1971) and for another team that went to the Finals (1974)? Really? I agree. The championships should matter the most for any franchise. However, as The Starters noticed someone should have checked baskteball reference before printing the banner because his second stint with Bucks was in 81-82. BTW, anybody knows from which season is this uniform? The mothership doesn't have any uniforms with the green script. technically it could just say 1981 because he didnt play in any games in 1982

Sweet Georgia Brown, that font is awful. Steve Carlton never wore a "32" that looked like that.Yeah I have no idea what they were going for there. At the Vet they used something similar to the 80s font (they also had a couple old-timey "P"s retired for players who played before numbers. They have policy of retiring numbers for HOFers (only exception was Ashburn but he eventually got in to HOF). I really wonder if they'll do anything for Rollins since he was here so long and set the team hit record. I hope they don't, but something tells me that they will. Phillies have such a unique and signature number font - why wouldn't they use that?

I think a lot of team make mention of making it to the Final Four ... although idk how many phrase it as National semifinalist

this is very nitpicky but I think ur proportions are a little off on the giants. The word mark should be just a tiny bit bigger-- right now u have about a 1 "underlines" space between it and the bottom of the end zone but it shouldn't be that much. But also the NY logo should be a decent amount smaller

The other thing is -- I really like having the Super Bowl logos at the 25 yard lines. Think about it -- that's where the majority of the action takes place in the game. Think about how often you see a line of scrimage at the 48 yard line .. compared to either of the like 23 or 29 yard lines. Over the course of the game my guess is like 85% of the plays either start or finish with that logo within the frame of the camera - especially because there are TWO of them - whereas only like 15% show the midfield logo. So from a birds eye the field might not look as cool without the Super Bowl logo at midfield, but on tv and in game photos its much more likely to see the SB logo if its on the 25's vs. the 50.

Mentioned this at the time but I actually think making the Endzone's navy blue for both teams was a good idea. For starters... the teams wore white and orange... so the endzone's contrasted both teams as an alternate color ..White/Navy and orange/navy. Also -- while I love the color orange it can be VERY clashy - so if there was an iconic photo of a seahawk catching a game-winning touchdown you didn't really want a 50-50 chance of that photo being on a bright orange background as a seahawks fan. Navy worked for both team's in that instance. I'm not sure why they left the NFC logo navy for the seahawks or why its on the wrong side... maybe it was a style choice because then both conference logos are on the near-side of the TV and the team logos are on the far side. That doesn't explain why its navy though HOWEVER there is precendent because the Giants endzone at Metlife usues the Giants blue for the NFC logo and also the NFL shield at midfleld is in Giants Blue and Red not the NFL colors. Hard to tell. But I still vote for lazyness, with a touch of the weather combined. The NFL got lucky, if that storm had come in 18 hours eariler the game would have looked like it was being played at Mile high rather than New jersey. This is why i believe the field was so bland. Unsure the field would even be visable with a possible storm aproaching. The NFL went with "No Frills" on the field markings. I totally disagree with that.... it doesn't snow that much in northern NJ -- granted last year was a very bad winter but there was no way the league assumed it was going to be snow covered. if anything it would be very cold and maybe flurries but it would have to be perfect timing to get a few inches of snow to fall at that exact time. I dont think last year's field was any more or less bland then it has been for at least 5 years. Its colored endzones, and logos at 25, 50, and 25. The only laziness is keeping the NFL logo at midfield 6 yards wide rather than making a new one 10 yards wide one.. but honestly i think that more smart money than laziness.. its already there. its not that important for it to be larger. Especially when you consider its not paint.. its colored turf -- I'm not entirely sure how the puzzle fits together but ud probably have to make two new strips of turf 5 yards x the wdith of the field to replace the area between the two 45-yard lines. Its not as simple as just painting it like you would with grass. So-- not that the NFL and host committee doesnt have the money but its just not so important to spend the money on. That entire turf including the Jets and Giants endzone was brand new last year... replaced the one from the first 3 years of MetLife Stadium. So no need for a new one for midfield.
