  1. Everything in me says I should hate these Colts uniforms, but I actually find myself liking them quite a bit. I like the royal blue and black combo, and the stripes on the shoulders and pants look good together. If these had black socks instead to make them symmetrical at the waist, I'd like them a lot. I feel like this is a good job of creating an alternate look that still fits with the main brand while doing something different. It's much better than taking the regular uniforms and giving them a black base, which is what I expected. If you're going to do BFBS, this is how you do it.
  2. I'd definitely also prefer it was paired with a better football team lol. Last year, the team broke them out for Monday Night Football at home. This year, it's a home game against a division rival. I'm pretty sure Kraft's idea is to bring back the dynasty aesthetic for big games, although the team has not obliged him by playing like the Brady days.
  3. I'm not a huge fan of double outlines, but I do think they look good in some cases. I've always enjoyed how they look on New England's uniforms. Just that little bit of silver is appealing to me. I also like them for Dallas because of the double outline on the star. There's a cohesion there that makes sense. I don't think I'd want more teams to be using them, but the teams that do use them use them well in my opinion.
  4. Not a fan of the Colts in blue pants. That's a team that belongs in white helmets, jerseys, and pants on the road.
  5. The Saints just lost in white pants and gold pants, so black makes sense. No shock there.
  6. As expected, all blue for the Pats in Dallas. The link to the fully gallery shows a locker with the navy jersey and pants
  7. Just a young, chronically online guy dating a Taylor Swift fan here at your service.
  8. I'm a little surprised the Bruins aren't wearing their new white jerseys at home at least once.
  9. Got our first look at the Bruins centennial jerseys on the ice on Sunday, and it went exactly as I expected it would. In still images, these uniforms look really good. The gold pops nicely, and it clearly looks like the Bruins despite the differences. On TV, though, the gold gets super washed out and it looks more like a franchise whose colors are black and silver than black and yellow. This is one of the issues unique to hockey, too. Football, baseball, and basketball are played on a backdrop with a more neutral brightness, while hockey is on a white background that washes out colors on TV. So, when you swap out yellow for metallic gold on small stripes, it really makes a difference. The new logo at center ice does look awesome, though. But why is the centennial logo only on one of the shoulders?
  10. To be honest, I could get behind all white at home for Miami if the white socks had stripes. Of all the teams to own the all-white look, Miami makes the most sense, I think.
  11. With all the rain in New York, it seems like this paint didn't set at all.
  12. Wasn't this mostly a Chiefs thing? Tbh I didn't hate it, it makes sense for the stripes on your arms to match the ones on your legs.
  13. I think the real solution here is two-fold. First, players will alter the uniforms to wear different things based on comfort, and they should be allowed to be comfortable as long as it's consistent with the uniform. If players like wearing leggings instead of socks, for example, then the solution would be to create leggings that match the uniform socks in appearance. If undershirts are really more comfortable with the elastic of the uniforms, then create rules about tucking them in or their color matching the jersey to keep the correct appearance while maximizing player comfort. Work with the players to make rules that make sense for their comfort that can also create a uniform appearance for every player on the field. The second would be to include punishments at the organization level. Players not matching regulations would not be allowed on the field until they make adjustments to meet them, and a team allowing their players on the field while not meeting regulations would be fined. These punishments wouldn't impact games, but they would provide an incentive from within an organization to get everyone on the same page. This should take care of any issues with players not actually wearing the same thing from both sides. The only reason for a player to not match regulations would be as a show of individuality, and it would come down to whether their team would be willing to support it by paying the fines every week. And you better believe repeat offenders would see the fines increase. Will this happen? No. The league only cares that the helmet, jersey, and pants of all the players match, and the fans don't really care at all. The owners aren't going to agree to start fining one another unless they actually care, and I doubt even a quarter of them do in the slightest. And they're happy to pass the buck along to the players, who are then content to complain about it and get the fans on their side. Now, if you wanted to take it a step further, you could legislate the aesthetics themselves, too. You could write rules mandating that any white socks/leggings or pants contain stripes or some kind of designed element. Rules around how often teams may wear matching jersey and pants or pants and socks could be fair, as could be rules mandating each jersey be worn a certain number of times. And you could take after soccer and even write rules about when different colors of jerseys and pants may be worn against one another to maximize proper clash and distinction on the field. Will any of that happen? It is unlikely. But it is fun to think about.
  14. Their promo graphics for weeks 1 and 2 matched the uniforms they would wear, so I figured that's what they were going with. I'm glad it's the all white instead, although it should have the green socks.
  15. Oh my god, I only just realized the helmet stripe doesn't match the pants stripe. How do you mess up something so simple lmao
  16. Looks like white jerseys, black pants, and black socks for the Jets. So ugly.
  17. Miami's white throwbacks are back in the rotation and will be worn against New England... in Week 8 when they host the Patriots. They'll be in the regular white over aqua tomorrow night.
  18. The Bruins don't look bad, but they do look plain. Far too plain for a team that has made yellow their distinctive color. Having no gold yoke, collar, numbers, or socks is a miss, too. If you're going to swap out yellow for a paler color, you need to make sure there's enough of it to not get washed out. Looking at pictures of the jerseys makes me feel like my screen brightness is too low. Big picture, honoring the history of the Bruins with no yellow jersey or socks is a miss in my book. Also, is the patch only on one shoulder? That's dumb and lame. It's a good patch, just throw it on both. If it were up to me, the Bruins would retain their home and road jerseys with the 100th year logo appearing on the shoulders. Then, they would mix in a bunch of throwbacks throughout the year for games against various rivals. If I got to pick the throwbacks, here's what I would do: Yellow http://nhluniforms.com/Bruins/Images/Bruins09.png http://nhluniforms.com/Bruins/Images/Bruins04.png Yellow http://nhluniforms.com/Bruins/Images/Bruins19.png Both http://nhluniforms.com/Bruins/Images/Bruins25.png Black http://nhluniforms.com/Bruins/Images/Bruins40.png And then you mix in the current ones with the yellow socks instead. Wear each like three times, and I think you're set.
