The US cap logo is atrociously outdated. An interlocking US would look so much better. I saw a version of something like that years ago but can't find it now. Of course, I don't think anything can match the beauty of the DR's cap (either version). Though I've always been fond of Mexico's as well.

I have no problem with MLB teams shifting away from gray jerseys, as in many cases they are simply lacking aesthetically. The Mariners don't really need 'em, I love their color scheme and the ID should focus on them. There are teams that should/would never lose their grays (NYY, Bos, CWS, STL, etc.) because they have a classic or particularly nice set. But there are some really uninspired looks (as a Cleveland fan, it's easily the most boring look we have) and tradition is the only thing keeping them around. That said, people love tradition and I get the negative responses here. I am likely in the minority, but I feel like a number of teams could make a mono road look work in different colors. While overdone recently, I enjoy a light blue road look. I think an all-navy set could work for a few teams as well. The Padres do it really well without using actual gray.

This concept is sweet. The 2000s hoop logo never worked for me because of the skewed angle, but this pays homage while looking less cartoony and clip-art-esque. I find the current brand pretty dull but a shield COULD work and I appreciate this actually trying to tie in Brooklyn. I don't love their colors (Spurs already own em IMO) BUT it has allowed them to use a blank canvass of sorts with regard to alternates, which is cool. My one note would be on the basketball portion of the bridge. The lines are elongated so it doesn't quite read right. I would be interested in either seeing the shield shape shifted to make it match the spherical look of a ball OR changing direction a bit to make the effect more net-looking. But as-is I'd take it over what they have easily. Question: Is the top of the bridge supposed to look like a headband? IDK if intentional but it's cute.

Yeah, it could be a quirk that works. I would like to see a white-paneled cap to judge, though.

I think both finishes can work well in baseball, and a classic gloss look makes perfect sense for a throwback. I would not mind seeing teams have multiple options for different lightings, but we'd probably get mismatched helmets within a game and send half of this board into cardiac arrest. Still not really sold on the road/M cap stuff, but that home look with the white-paneled helmet is sex.

Blast from the past! I had a Cleveland cap from this series growing up.

Keep the red on red and yeah, maybe a gold halo/accents. I don't mind the logo redunancy either.

Nice find! They threw back to these helmets in 2011 to celebrate the 1961 title. Interestingly, they seemed to add vertical stripes but it was just a plain scarlet jersey in the 60s at home. Pants stripe was different as well.

Adore this Pelicans concept. Incorporating Mardi Gras beads without it being a garish uniform is really something. Bucks concept is also sweet.

Is it teal or turquoise? The DBacks had teal in their original ID, and lots of teams use a teal that in many applications looks like a lighter blue, but in this case I think it's 2 different colors from 2 different branding eras.

Going over the uniform (not to say any of it is explicitly good or bad): Helmet uses orange trim on a thick aqua stripe as opposed to the classic AWOWA design in the throwback (or something else classicly football like Brashier stripes) Logo is no longer a cartoon, no M helmet White facemask rather than gray No sleeve stripes, just the logo Custom number font instead of a block Stripeless socks Both the aqua and orange look brighter than older sets from the Dolphins So basically, there are updates throughout the uniform that distinguish it from the traditional football style, while the throwback is very reminiscent of the classic Browns, Packers, & Saints looks of old. Miami is largely seen as a popular destination for young people to club and hit the beach. It's trendy and hot. The Dolphins themselves had their heyday in the 70s, but Miami is not a town that lives in the past, generally. Aesthetically I do enjoy the throwbacks a lot, but something about the look feels too old school for them to use full time, at least in my opinion.

The throwbacks are great, no question, but I think a more modern look makes sense for Miami as a city and is a perfectly fine full time look. Keep the stripes as a special occassion thing. I've always been an Aquafresh logo apoligist, to contribute to the thread. But as I've gotten older the concept of a dolphin wearing a football helmet has grown on me.

I really like this concept! I think shoulder stripes like that can really work for teams but are rarely used (effectively, at least). It's a great way to make the lightning bolt separate itself from the various other bolt-centric identities out there (obviously they use the Chargers logo now because it's the cream of that crop).

Wish they'd go back to the 2D profile for the helmet logo as well. The 3D version has never looked as good and if you're gonna use an outdated helmet model it might as well look classic.

That Peach Bowl patch is big clunky garbage. Would make sense to move the swoosh under the conference logo for better balance.

Obviously the Dream Shake comes to mind for Hakeem, and there are guys more singularly known for their defense, but just to make the case: All time blocks leader (I feel like this is the big one, but obivously there is more to that side of the ball) Only center in the top ten in steals (and among the top 30 basically) 2 time DPOY, of course More versatile than most centers Ben Wallace would probably be my choice if you're going by greatest defensive player ever, but I think they wanted to honor their biggest stars with these awards. Hakeem fits that bill and is truly one of the great defenders in the game's history.

Can't really argue against any of the choices, but I don't think they need to be adding names to the trophies. Naming the Finals MVP for Russell made sense because he played before the award existed and would otherwise have the most given all of his championships as the centerpiece of the leagues first great dynasty. In 50-100 years, IMO, there will be players more synonymous with these labels than the namesakes. If they had waited 10 years, for instance, I could see LeBron and Steph being the East & West Conference MVP trophies, as a for instance. But again, the choices aren't bad.

Gave you a like for being unpopular, not in agreement. I like the purple as an alt, but the all purple under orange doesn't do it for me.

The Bengals look absolutely fantastic in their orange jerseys with black pants, better designed and color balanced than those white pants. In the spirit of an opinion-based forum I'm gonna say anyone who disagrees should be murdered on sight.

The 3-stripe pattern is better, but I would like to see it as a full side panel.

Nobody needs copper. Another team's alternate shouldn't factor into your own primaries. Purple and light blue look great together and both colors have history in Utah. The black seems unneccessary but in the NBA most teams have a black set so whatever.

I guess using this as the Playoff look is better than the alternative universe where they wear these every week but go with the blackouts in big games.

Ohio State and Georgia only met once before in the 1993 Citrus Bowl. Had trouble finding a quality photo, but the game highlights are below. As noted, the uniform matchup will be flipped, but not a ton of difference between the designs since then.

What app?

Agreed, they absolutely rule.
