  1. Thinking it's dumb is fine, I agree that placing "5280" on a Broncos uniform would be dumb. That said, feigning obliviousness toward generally well known cultural facts does not reflect well on that point. For the record, you were called obtuse because outside of claiming to be unaware of Georgia's status as the Peach state, your exact argument was "I would have no idea which team this uniform belongs to" referring to a uniform with Hawks logos on it.
  2. Michigan in any of these combos against Washington in Gold-Purple-Gold would've been a fantastic visual matchup, one of the best in recent years. Funny how both teams ended up fumbling their combos and taking all of the vibrant colors out of the matchup.
  3. I am really concerned about what the potential new Lions' uniforms will look like considering their recent fixation with the blank pants and monochrome combos. Their current set is great and I just feel confident that any change will be for the worse.
  4. It's not the worst monochrome combo out there, but what a shame really. I was already rooting for Washington and this makes it easier
  5. I would dare to say that most average people don't remember or had even heard of the original UFL. The name also makes sense here at least.
  6. I think it's an odd angle to phrase it as "squatting on the Oilers colors" when it was the Oilers organization itself that just incorporated navy blue and silver into their existing color scheme after a couple of seasons in their new home. Sure, the Titans current looks sucks, but that doesn't give the Texans a right to encroach on their brand. The Texans have now had decades to establish something memorable and new on their own, and while they have a great logo, the brand as a whole remains stale. It just feels super desperate and misguided for them to now try and backtrack to tap into this nostalgia.
  7. This is literally just the Titans color scheme. I just think it's so weird that people seem to want for them to rebrand to be more similar to one of their division rivals.
  8. Interesting insight, your points remind me a lot of some of the arguments I see surrounding grey facemasks in football. Some people prefer the neutral look almost like it's not a part of the uniform at all, whereas others see the grey having the opposite effect and sticking out. Speaking for myself here, I don't see the pieces of the uniform in the same way that you do, and I find that in many cases the white helmet actually sticks out more simply because it throws the uniform color balance off in many cases. Looking at the Canes and Leafs specifically, to me the colored helmets paired with the white really just feel right, like the uniform could have looked that way all along if not for helmets being standardized in the way that they were initially.
  9. Allowing teams to wear colored helmets on the road is a huge win. "It's always been done that way" is almost never a good reason to keep doing something. I mean just look at the difference between these two looks- I mean the copycat Rangers script still stinks, but what was really generic before instantly becomes much more interesting and balanced. Of course some teams will look better with the traditional white helmets, and I imagine that those wont experiment too much even after this ruling, but I feel good that it will greatly benefit a lot of teams with dull road looks.
  10. Give me this combo with white or red pants and that would be a great new base for a new Texans look. The blue pants make this lame though.
  11. The matte helmets are sweet, really complements the look. I hope that NHL teams continue to play with helmet finishes and color combos, its such an otherwise ignored part of the uniform in most sets and now even moreso in many cases due to team branding being subbed out for a random corporate logo.
  12. I feel really underwhelmed by these. The red trim around the wordmark feels busy and disjointed with the silver trim being used everywhere else on the uniform. Not too bad, but too disconnected for me.
  13. Is there any reason they cant simply share this identity with the NWSL club? It's perfect
  14. The Creamsicles are perfect in their current form, as a charming switch-up throwback look. I also think that yesterday was the best that those uniforms have ever looked, the modern matte materials really enhance the colors and help them pop more than they ever have.
  15. I've never seen an Oilers alum recognize the Texans as the successor of the Oilers franchise over the Titans. I can understand the bad feelings about all of this, but the Titans have been honoring the Oilers for years and it just feels odd as a fan of the team to read so many people who seem to be only taking issue with this now. https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/oilers-great-earl-campbell-pays-visit-to-titans "By all means I support the Titans, even though they are not in Houston any more. … A lot takes place in life and at some point you have to get over it. Even though the franchise moved, they are in Tennessee and they're the Tennessee Titans, it's still the organization I used to play for, and the Adams family."
  16. I saw that the Houston Rockets changed their profile picture to this for a couple of days before reverting back to the normal primary logo. It's likely nothing, but does anybody have insight as to what this is? It feels like branding for an app
  17. I actually feel that the Colts is the worst case, the combo is completely unbalanced and feels totally wrong for them. At the very least, the Commanders and Jets have incorporated black into their main uniform sets and the alternates are a true monochrome. And no, the black Nike swooshes do not work the same way for the Colts. I'd even argue that those Jets uniforms are not that bad and not a true case of BFBS
  18. Adidas has begun transitioning to the wordmark-less logo, this can be seen on all of their new soccer shirts as well. I guess since the contract expires after this season, they're simply opting to leave it alone.
  19. It's a fine uniform and I love the new logo, but that gold being somewhere between flat and metallic just throws the whole thing off for me. I get why they thought a metallic touch to the gold would be a cool tie-in for the Centennial Anniversary, but it's not right for the Bruins.
  20. At the end of the day they will not go back to R*******, it's a slur by definition and Josh Harris said as much recently- "Obviously, I grew up in D.C. and I was there during the glory years, so I understand why fans love the former name," Harris said. "But look, there was a portion of our fanbase that felt disrespected by the former name," Harris continued. "Sports are supposed to bring people together and not be a distraction. I don't want distractions ... I thought it was important that we end the conversation." Like you point out, one Native American group saying otherwise is just that, one group amongst a diverse group of people with opinions to the contrary. I don't think it's really worth discussing anymore.
  21. The Captain's patch is a fun idea, but it really competes with the primary logo and largest sponsor patch in the league for your attention. That said, these colors are lightyears better than the green and red.
  22. These new Cardinals uniforms just stink, they're both boring and ugly at the same time. I don't miss the piping at all, but what a missed opportunity to not create something that's good.
