Even if they wanted to save the throwback for special occasions, they could've swapped navy for the royal blue. I think that would've helped bring some life into this set.

The last set felt iconic and was trend-setting when it released -- hard to believe they'll be thrown back to in the future. I actually preferred the navy jerseys over the orange ones with that template and felt there was enough of a foundation there to improve and modernize the set without starting from scratch. If they were going to go in a different direction, the answer was to obviously switch to their new throwbacks permanently. As it stands, it feels to me like they completely whiffed here. I'm thinking we'll be seeing new uniforms for Denver in another 5 years. Perhaps they want to jump on that cycle. A lot to unpack here but a quick thought from what I've seen -- the navy helmet looks pretty good (I like the new finish) but I'm afraid that helmet "stripe" is going to look ridiculous from viewing distance on Sundays. The horse simply doesn't work for me on the white helmet and it will look even worse as the white elements of the logo are lost.

Jags throwbacks.

The trash talking before tip off:

I don't know if I should say what I'm seeing. Let's just say it involves three people and a wheelchair.

All the more puzzling after the Titans went heavy on navy for their new uniforms. I thought that might be indicative of possibly letting Houston reclaim Columbia down the road, but now they are doubling down on this. It’s only going to get more difficult now with merchandise sales factoring in to the decision. Tennessee wearing navy/red is the cherry on top for me. If you’re going to insist on keeping Luv Ya Blue, at least let them have their navy/red.

Agree on the awkward logo placement. It’s too far back. Seeing #31 on the video thumbnail, it would make sense for the decal to be tilted slightly forward to use more of that empty space. It would ultimately look best if they took the time to work the lower leg of it inside the chinstrap snaps. Those helmet stripes might have more weight to them than the numbers on their practice jerseys.

Love the Ute decals. A black facemask would rightfully make the decals the focal point on that helmet. As is, I think they are fighting the red facemask for attention.

Now Pete is crying. Thanks a lot.

Can’t unsee. It’s even shaped like Kyler.

Any BC Lions fans? Nathan Rourke is the real deal.

Nice mock-up. I think it’d look better on a white helmet. That said, I’m not sure it works for me considering how well the C fits on the helmet. Gotta think the bear looks blobby from any sort of distance.

Shreveport residents:

I’d like it. Calling them ‘icy’ may be underselling how cold they’d be.

I hope so — I’ve loved both. It looks great if it’s done right. It’s probably easy to make it look bad though, so hopefully they don’t start forcing it. Tasteful choices only. Lol

Wonder why it's not used more if all else is equal. Seems like Nike should insist on it for teams with chest wordmarks. It would look a bit better. It was the issue I had with my Cowboys' uniforms -- just wishing they were able to scooch the wordmark and numbers up a smidge. Lol

I wish Nike had a better solution for the wordmark across the chest. Pushing it and the numbers further down makes it look like an afterthought.

I love when people find ways to use negative space for logos but this needs refinement.

That's awesome. He looks sleepy.

You make some good points here. It gets a little weird for me when I start thinking how the owl is flying underneath a floating T. Now I can't unsee it. Almost wish they would've tried to have the owl perched on top. Love the owl logo though, and think Owls are underused as mascots.

Ah, whoops. Thanks for clarifying. Reminds me of the dress where nobody could decide on the color due to the lighting.

It may just be the lighting, but the Florida jersey looks anthracite / charcoal to me -- not quite black. (Not that dark gray is any better.)

I kinda miss the black from the original set and would prefer black over white as the trim color. I think it brings out the orange a bit more.

Is a 'shadow' uniform just another way to say a black uniform?

You really want Tennessee turning full heel, eh? (I do too.)
