    Why is it that teams always seem to go on these mysterious win streaks in their worst combos? Last year it happened with the Eagles’ black pants and this year the Jets. Plus Bills all-blue. And then teams like the Titans in light blue pants or Pats in silver pants for the first time in years always seem to lose.

    It's because the uniform gods hate us.

    Lastly, I'd like to see bolder, square-edged fonts come back into play.   One of the last projects I worked on at my former employer was designing new football uniforms for Stetson University.  They have a proprietary font that isn't my favorite, but works well here with how big we were able to get Nike to make them (10" front, 12" back...Nike Team originally had 8" front, 10" back, then went to 10"/12", and is now back to 9"/11"):

    NOTE:  I had no say in the helmet stripe, that was existing.  And I pushed for matching striped socks but it was a no-go.

    I don't want to derail to thread, but as a Stetson alum you did a great job updating the uniforms and including the apple green. Wish we would use pants stripes too, but I can imagine that wasn't your call, much like the helmet stripe.

    Penguins look more like the Bruins than usual…I like the RR by itself but at first I thought it was Boston. 

     

    Sabres look like a team from the Olympics or something. 

    I keep wanting the Penguins to return to the same sock design (or something similar) as the Vegas gold era. Those would match the hem striping on all four jerseys. I love the primary jerseys, but the mismatch below the waist is really starting to annoy me.

    So far this season:

    Bengals have worn a different jersey/pant/sock combo every single week.

    Ravens worn a different combo every week since Week 2.

     

    If the Saints wear Color Rush, the Ravens could wear regular purple jerseys and pants, which would extend that streak. Bengals streak has ended thanks to another appearance by what I would argue is their best home look:

     

     

    Incorrect. They wore this combo at Dallas earlier this season.

    So they would have needed two pairs of navy pants (one to match the navy jersey, and one to match the white jersey)? No reason to wear the thin orange piping pants with the navy jersey.

    Canes had two pairs of white pants for that set. Bengals have two as well. Broncos definitely could've gone that route if they wanted to.

  6. Broncos have that thin orange stripe that runs along the blue panel on their away. They should've done it like Miami did back in the early 2000s with the completely matching side panels. This would mean they would have a phantom navy stripe and the thin orange one going down the pant legs.

  7. I remember when the rumors first leaked about the Jags helmet from that 2013-17 set. Everyone thought it was gonna be like this San Diego State helmet...

    And it actually could've been a salvageable set if that were the case. Alas, they took it way too far.

    Two things:

     

    1. rumblings are that they're going to be going with the cannon look full time with a matching white sweater in the next season or two so that might be why they didn't do that. 

    2. The original third jersey used black* so that's how they got away with it here.

     

    *and it looked dynamite

    I was hoping they would just flip around the navy and black parts, but nope, too easy. It's a let down. 

    I had no clue they had matching socks with this look. Kind of surprising they instead went with the disjointed look for so long when they made this the primary uniform. 

  9. I'm honestly pretty annoyed with how safe the Pens went here. They literally just slapped the robopen and a yoke on the third jersey. We now have three black jerseys that have a heavy use of gold as the secondary color. They should've at least swapped the white and gold similar to the 2000-06 jerseys.
