Nah, this is pretty par for the course. Back when the Vikings and Jaguars released their uniforms people were going full CSI on images that were about this quality (recreation for dramatic effect). This site always falls apart right before an NFL reveal.

Not even remotely close. The Jets look isn't very good, but at least there's a semblance of cohesion. The Titans look is just Nike randomly barfing every terrible idea they've ever had.

The Bills were Reebok

**** THIS POST IS NOT A LEAK NOR A PREDICTION **** One thing that's interesting to me about all this, assuming that the information TruColor has received is correct, is that the new color scheme will be more like the St. Louis Cardinals color scheme of the 1960s (top colors vs. the current color scheme on bottom) with the maroon color and yellow that's a bit darker. But I would also be willing to bet that they will make exactly zero reference to this fact during the unveiling. **** THIS POST IS NOT A LEAK NOR A PREDICTION **** We've reached within two days of reveal where this board goes from fun to exhausting, so I figured I'd place this disclaimer for everyone.

Oh, no doubt. It's gonna be something like Vermillion or Ercolano, 100%

Alright, @TruColor. I think I nailed it based on all the hints.

I love when we get close to a reveal on this site because someone will spitball something like "this color scheme would look good for the cardinals" Which immediately is followed by five pages of people treating the post like a leak and genuinely debating whether they'll wear uniforms inspired by catholic cardinals.

A couple soccer teams have broken out jerseys with gradients that work.

Any time someone says Reebok jerseys were better constructed than Nike's I can only think of these and the Jaguars awful jerseys. It's one thing to make a template that can't handle traditional stripes, or a template that can't handle modern designs, but to have a template that can't handle ANY designs is a whole other thing.

You've got the analogy backwards. Betamax is generally considered to have had better video and audio quality than VHS and a better overall product. So if anything Nike is the VHS of the industry since they're the top dog but can't do the little things as well as the smaller companies being pushed out.

It certainly helps that both teams use black as their secondary color. Makes the designs actually feel like team designs unlike other years.

Okay, time to cool it with these “leaks.” Every single one of these is an obvious concept that doesn’t nearly match the quality or style of the actual logos. The logo will be here when it’s here.

Would you look at that! Thanks to everyone who voted for me! And thanks to @rsaline for running the competition again. This has always been one of my favorites on the boards and always brings out the best in me as a designer, so I was happy it was brought back for this cycle! Want to give a shoutout to @gswansea. You are one hell of a designer. I knew I was going to have to really step it up if I was going to compete with any of your 4 excellent designs. Seems fitting that we'd match up again in the finals. Great work to all the other competitors for a series of excellent designs. Special shoutout to @dsaline97 who seemed to fly under people's radar a bit despite getting 3 of 4 to the knockout round and put up a real fight against both finalists. And to anyone who didn't advance or feels disappointed with how they finished, don't let these results discourage you. It took me three goes to finally get the gold. Keep improving and honing those skills and you'll get there!

Oh right, I forgot I could vote still. I’m going with Wales. Both designs were fantastic

2018: Both finalists were eagle crests 2022: Both finalists are lion crests Excited to see which animal reigns supreme in 2026!

Cameroon

France Cameroon Brazil (honestly, I'd give this one a tie if I could. Two very solid designs that represent their nations well)

France #2 (gswansea) Cameroon #3 (gswansea) Mexico #1 (Josef_Bretones) Argentina #2 (lightning25) Netherlands #1 (GriffinM6)

I think I agree with you about the W. The logo overall is solid, but that right triangle on the end of the W is kinda making my brain fight against seeing it as a W. Definitely excited to see what ideas you have to adjust that

Sure, I’m in

Glad I'm not the only one who loves the trolls here. The boards calling out and messing with outsiders who don't realize we have years of experience with people trying to trick us regarding sports design is legitimately one of my favorite parts of this site. Those early Nike NFL years were incredible.

I guess if you're gonna play like a minor league team you might as well look like one too

I'm in
