I think you’d need to flip the hidden jet on the stripes so that it would be headed up rather than down. Also, what if the stripes were contrails?

Or SFSS -- Snowcapped for Snowcapped's Sake?

It wasn't perfect but I actually liked how the black in their old logo added some contrast with the shadow effect. It would be even better if they flipped the black and blue.

Pretty nice but the numbers look comically large. I wonder if the person who designed the Greek Key pattern knew it would continue to be used thousands of years later in places that hadn't yet been discovered. One's legacy doesn't get much better than that.

I'm an OSU alum and immediately thought of our uniforms when I saw this. I always hated how imbalanced our W-O-O combos have looked. W-O-W is definitely the way to go -- (for us and the Broncos).

Yeah, and Syracuse definitely wore it better. Lol

I like the two uniforms on the bottom for the Illini but would want to drop the white from the helmet to match the jersey and pants. (Or add a touch of white as a tertiary color to the uniform.)

How would you and the fans feel if they switched from 'Washington' to 'DC'? Doubt they'd ever go that far but just curious on how the DMV would feel about it if they went for a complete reset on the team name.

Great point. And even post-Kingdome, these throwbacks will naturally look a bit more dull playing under cloudy skies more often than not.

By the response he received, I thought they might be dropping the bevel. They have been leaning more into their throwbacks in recent years, and it seems overdue at this point to make that change. Seems like it at least inspired the wordmark in the endzone.

I made that graphic. In my initial post, I had suggested royal as the primary and navy as an alternate, because I also prefer the throwback colors. However, I think navy has a place moving forward with the team given their Super Bowl runs in that color scheme. A navy alt would be better than a black or green alternate in my eyes. Or worse, a ‘throwback’ to the current set. Just my opinion.

Commanders immediately getting the shorthand nickname ‘Commies’ was kinda funny for a team in DC. Surely someone saw that coming, right? Guessing Snyder didn’t care.

I think a double outline on the numbers would have worked well in this case. Adding a black outline would match the striping pattern on the rest of the uniform and I think could have the added benefit with readability. The numbers on gray uniforms tend to get lost at any sort of distance.

Agree with you. Not sure if you're trying to pass that off as yours but I made that and posted it here yesterday.

It could be a slippery slope where we end up in a world with Association, Icon, Statement, and City NFL alternates.

Stranger Things could've made sense -- taking place in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.

The Tom Petty lyrics they used for the tweet start making more sense as the song goes on. -- She grew up in an Indiana town Had a good lookin' mama who never was around But she grew up tall and she grew up right With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night ... Last dance with Mary Jane One more time to kill the pain I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

Came here to post this. It's hilarious how the black seeps in and spreads like the plague. Colts dipped their feet in with the Swoosh, and are about waist deep in now with the helmet. Now that they have a black helmet, they will use it to justify a black jersey, pants, and socks as their next alternate. This feels like the Longhorns dropping a black helmet.

Interesting-- thanks! I haven't been paying enough attention. I don't like it for NC State either. It'll be one of those head scratching design choices we look back and laugh at in 20 years.

Seeing the old logo back makes me miss it. I think the totem pole aspect of it gets a little more lost in the sauce with the new logo. Maybe that's just me. I like the collar stripes but agree with you on the shoulder stripe logo. It gets redundant on the side view with the helmet logo. Using the stripe pattern would make more sense. I would like to see a matching set with both navy and royal. Revert back to the royal as a primary, and keep a navy set as the alternate. Might need to find a 'tweener gray/silver color that works well with both sets. And perhaps even a green. (Spoiler tag for those who don't care to see a mock-up comparing the two color schemes.)

From a design perspective, I like the way the State script looks on MSU's helmets. They are really the only SEC school that uses 'State' (LSU doesn't really count in my eyes), so maybe owning that is a good thing. That said, it's generic enough that it's giving me Fansville vibes. Might need a bulldog or something to go with it. I think I'm going to miss the gray a bit, as I liked them having a tertiary color to differentiate from A&M. The Egg Bowl alternates were completely over the top but maybe having a touch of gold could work for them.

I'll be honest -- the state flag was subtle enough for me that I did not even know it was there. Looking at old pics and I kinda like it. Looks like they are adding it back though on the side of the jersey though? Seems like an odd placement but I'll withhold judgement for now.

Seahawks might have the best throwbacks in the NFL.

It's definitely giving NFC Central vibes. (I forget how light the pewter used to be.) Taking it one step further:

Side note but what are the thoughts on the helmet stripe's application with SpeedFlex helmets? Wish there was a cleaner way to fit a stripe on there without seeing the white between the cuts. Curious what any EQ managers here might think.
