Lights Out

Neither of those are particularly good. Those helmets always needed a two-tone stripe to match the rest of the uniform. UVA made it work back in the day. There's no reason why Washington couldn't have done the same.

Technically they do. The stripes on the red pants match the stripes on the white jerseys. They just weren't designed with the modern monochrome fad in mind. Case in point: the red pants were introduced in 1968, but the Chiefs never wore all red until 2013.

Those particular Cardinals uniforms still do nothing for me and aren't much better than their current ones. I don't think they've ever had a good home uniform, at least not in the modern era. As for the Bengals, black pants would have been okay, but what they really could have used was orange pants to match the helmet. It's crazy that they've never once had that as an option.

This is disingenuous. The Niners' pants are as close as they can get when accounting for the inevitable differences in materials and lighting. The Cowboys aren't even trying. They've even given up on any pretense of "silver-blue" and are just trotting out in powder blue pants. A better comparison would have been the Saints, and while their uniforms still have plenty of issues, even they fixed their helmets at some point to match everything else better.

The Sonics want their uniforms back.

This is cherry-picking. Most of the sleeved jerseys were clownsuits, and a lot of what people complain about with City Editions applied just as much to them.

Adidas sucked by the end of their time with the NBA, and anyone pining for the days of sleeved jerseys is forgetting how ugly they usually were. A lot of them still would have been eyesores even if they didn't have the sleeves. The players hated them, too. Ads on jerseys are the league's fault, not the supplier's. The NBA logo was already removed from the front of the jerseys during the Adidas era specifically to set the stage for ads. Jersey ads still would have happened even if Nike never got the contract. As always, the real problem is the lack of competition. Adidas has its own severe flaws and excesses. Under Armour can't afford to keep up in the arms race anymore. Fanatics is synonymous with cheap crap. Nike is far from perfect but there aren't any clearly better options out there, so Nike ends up being the easy "default" choice because of their popularity and cultural cachet.

The Rays have scored a whopping one run in their last 32 postseason innings. I don't think a throwback jersey is the problem.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with them per se, but because we've all gotten so used to wordmarks being centered underneath the front collar, it just ends up looking like a production error to have them on the shoulder instead. The Seahawks are an exception because there's at least some actual design there and it's not just tacked on like the other two examples.

I don't agree. It's a fine look that's only held back by Adidas' stretchy fabric.

That's a stretch. They're a recolor of USC's uniforms.

I swear, that uniform reminds me of this. It's as if Snyder was specifically looking for what was hip in college football a decade ago. Out of touch doesn't even begin to describe it.

In hindsight, there's probably a decent argument to be made that keeping the logo/uniforms and just changing the name to something more respectful would have appeased everyone. On the other hand, they were still owned by Dan Snyder at the time and he was always going to handle this in the dumbest and most ridiculous way possible.

KJZZ is owned by Sinclair, so I'm guessing they'll just use Bally's graphics without the Bally logo (like KTLA does for Clippers games).

Nothing about it says "Indiana." They look like the generic rival team from a movie. The new ones aren't particularly good either, but at least they've got the traditional IU on the helmets and the right shade of crimson.

This whole situation is very bizarre. The Twitter rumors appear to be farfetched based on what's actually been reported so far, but I also find it hard to believe that his health is the reason why he quit either. The Bears surely would have announced that themselves and wished him well. Instead there was a circus of a press conference followed by a resignation letter that wasn't even on the team's letterhead. So either the Bears' PR department is even more inept than their play on the field, or there has to be more to this story.

Eh. It's better than their last attempt at BFBS.

Their modern uniforms are better than the throwbacks anyway.

The home and road are too Steelers-esque. They don't feel quite right for the Bruins. The third jersey is better.

The black and gold alternates are better than the normal home and road. State flag > looking like Team Germany in a FIBA U19 tournament.

I'm amazed that they've found a way to make their uniforms even worse. Imagine how bad those silver pants are going to look with the navy jerseys now.

Ole Miss' uniforms haven't been particularly good since the '90s. Those navy accents on the jerseys made a huge difference.

ATTN: New Orleans Saints

I actually don't mind those FIU Vice uniforms in a vacuum, but FAU basketball already beat them to it a couple years ago, so it just feels like they're playing catch-up.

When they're in the same conference and Indiana's unis/program are way more iconic, I'd say there's plenty wrong with that.
