Toledo is probably the best of this MAC bunch. I think the only improvement on them you need to make is thickening the outline on the road numbers. They'd lose legibility pretty easily in real life. Maybe have them similar to the Raiders' throwbacks.

Italy look to be changing their shirt emblem.

Such an unnecessary change. Their current badge looks great being predominantly blue.

When we're on this website, this is what we can call a good question.  If you ask this question anywhere else on the planet, you will be looked at as though you've got a squirrel living on your head, and everyone will slowly back away.

 

But since you ask here... good question!!

 

 

I tend to agree with your first definition. Technically to be a northwestern stripe, it needs to go thin - thick - thin, all one color, separated by the jersey color underneath.  I think that puts us in the minority these days, as I read people on this site pretty much refer to any three part thin - thick - thin stripe as a northwestern stripe.

 

I know why it's so regimented in my head, and why I'll probably never be able to think of it any other way.  It's because of a job I had right out of college back in the late 80's.  For a few years I worked in a silkscreen sweatshop, doing art production. Pre-computer, everything was cut and pasted by hand, lettering hand set, photographed on a giant production camera, and projected on to silk screens. We did t-shirts, hats, etc. But we also did jerseys (and football helmet decals... that was the best part of the job!) for high schools and the occasional d-3 college. The jerseys were offered from a catalog. Of course, for more money we'd do custom stripes, but the catalog had template stripes that could be applied in whatever colors to a jersey sleeve, in about a dozen different pre-made configurations.  In the catalog, there were offerings like "Double-stripe" (two stripes, same color, separated by jersey) and "Double-fill" (two stripes, same color, separated by a second color). And we offered a few variations on the Northwestern Stripe. IIRC they went something like this;

 

Standard Northwestern Stripe- three stripes, all one color, thin-thick-thin, separated by jersey;

 

 

Northwestern Stripe, trimmed  - three stripes, all one color, thin-thick-thin, separated by jersey, with a second color trimming each stripe;

 

 

 

There was a listing we referred to as a USC Stripe (because, obviously, this is what USC wore at the time - three stripes, center stripe a different color, thin-thick-thin, separated by jersey;

 

(I think most people would probably just think of this as a northwestern stripe, but I can't help thinking of it as something different.)

 

 

I think those USC uniforms are considered to have Northwestern stripes. Auburn is under the same category (on their jerseys). 

As for the Lions and Vikings uniforms, that's either Ohio State or Steelers striping.

And there it is...practice uniforms along with an excellent throwback.

Could be wrong but I thought it was at least 2 years. 

 

I also remember reading that statement jerseys are supposed to be worn for 3 seasons but not sure if teams are held to that.

It's still five years. The Hawks had to wear their crappy neon feather uniforms for 5 seasons (15/16-19/20) before changing to their current look.

This is what Dr. Evil wears to Dodgers games.

So the Saints just made their own version of the Seahawks helmets? Lame. 

Really like the UCONN look, but I think the wider version of their font looks better on the football uniforms. The one you used is better suited for basketball IMO.

• Take the classic U uniforms and incorporate the U logo into the sleeves.
• I'm not sure if this works as well as I pictured it, so let me know what you think.

I feel like you're headed in the right direction with the Canes' uniforms. I think it would look better if you kept the logo orange and green with the white outline on all uniforms (like you have it on the header of the presentation). It'll help it from getting lost within the striping like it currently does.

Doh! That's right. I completely forgot about that leak. That's gonna be a Donald Glover's Atlanta inspired uniform. 

They're doing earned edition uniforms next year right? My guess is the Hawks do either a white or red version of their black uniform. As in they include black elements unlike the standard white and red uniforms. 

For the city, if they choose to stick with something close to the primary uniforms, I'm guessing they'll use the ATL from this logo on the front.

A photo of that logo

The more I look at this, the worse it gets. 

1. Obviously the face is terribly rendered.

2. The feathers on the wings are different on the two. The left one has smooth feathers, while the right one has angular feathers.

3. The talons are awful.

4. The lightning bolt looks wobbly(?) 

Just a complete mess all around. Boston College and Southern Miss do a way better job with their flying Raptor logos. 

Absolutely love the concept for Coastal. I think the one improvement you could make though is adding more white to the sleeves on the teal jersey. Probably just fill in the teal space on the middle part of the design. Also, maybe fill in the white part on the back of the road jersey sleeves as well.

New photo of the Jazz jersey coming soon. Looks like a gray-ish looking stripe down the side? Probably their powder blue or whatever they call it.

For anyone trying to divert their eyes from the white jersey above this, don't look too intently at the jerseys behind it. They appear to just be this year's city edition uniforms. I spot the Lakers, Knicks, Bucks, and Suns. 

UCF looks pretty good. I just think they could spare to have an alternate helmet though. White would be the way to go IMO. With USF, I think you should find a way to include more gold in the look. It's kind of bland at the moment. 

The new wordmark would've been good for the 75th Anniversary city uni since it references three different Cavs identities. It doesn't make sense for a full time look though. I especially agree about the minimalistic basketball sucking too. Let's hope the uniforms will at least be nice, but I doubt that's the case.

Legitimately shocked that we have all white-at-home games!

 

Golden State and especially Boston wearing a black alt in the playoffs feels real odd, but they're also two BFBS uniforms I don't hate, so, fine, I'll give them that. Would've preferred the aforementioned Warriors throwbacks though. (Also wouldn't mind a green-vs-yellow game if GSW had any decent yellow uniforms in the rotation these days).

Hopefully this series goes to six or seven games so we don't have to have a BFBS uniform lift the trophy.

I can't help but think that some just looks off. I'm glad they re-tweaked the crest, don't get me wrong, I'm happy the blue color is a bit more prominent, and the stripes and fleur-de-lis are back, but I think it's a bit complex. Drop the roundel and use the central shield shape, and I think you have a crest that's better than 90% of the MLS.

 

Also, I couldn't help but think Inter Miami with the basic "shield surrounded by a roundel" shape:

 

I've got some news for you...

This ain't nothing new in soccer lol.

Pros:

- The jersey looks surprisingly good. 

- The hat is awesome

Cons:

- A purple belt would look better than white. 

- I can't help but think these would look better if they were white-heavy like the license plates is. 

PS: Are these first pair of green pants in MLB history? 

Purple and green together looks great, but does anyone else always get reminded of the Hulk when those two colors are side-by-side?

With that said, a Rays' City Connect uni will likely focus more on Tampa than St. Petersburg. Other than a gradient-heavy marine sanctuary motif and/or a beach, what else would be pulled from St Pete? 

Clearly they're gonna use this mural as inspiration for the CC uni.

Columbus is wearing white and peach

Man, I'm disappointed with that. I'll be going to the game and was looking forward to see ATL wear an actual peach color rather than the neon orange from 2018-19. 

Examples of centered crests looking good:

Errea also released kits for smaller UEFA federations today.

https://www.footyheadlines.com/2022/05/errea-2022-uefa-national-team-kits.html

Love that they didn't just go with a bunch of stock designs and actually made each kit unique to every country. 

BTW, should we start a 2022/23 thread for this and move some posts to said thread?
