  1. Probably doesn't mean anything in regard to what the Jets wear this year, but this tweet gives me some hope that they're stick to traditional combos with Rodgers there now. If the Jets just wore G/G/W/G, G/W/G/W, and G/W/W/G, I think it's a pretty nice-looking set.
  2. The Colts weren't going to let anyone play around with the settings to get a sneak peak.
  3. This as a week 1 matchup is going to look amazing.
  4. Those look so good. In love with them. Should make those permanent.
  5. We've got Commanders at Jets this season. What's the breakdown on team colors actually used in that game?
  6. Pretty sure it's just the lighting in that photo. Looks like the double grey in the other pics.
  7. I actually like these uniforms. They aren't better than the regular uniforms, but they're good and fun for an All-Star Game. If you're going to do non-traditional uniforms, this is the spot for it.
  8. I don't know, with 162 games a year I really don't mind the Red Sox breaking out some alternates. I like the regular whites, I like the red jerseys, I like the City Connects. I like the greys, but I'm not a huge fan of the navy blue jerseys. I'd wear red as an alternate home and away and bring in some kind of throwback as a weekend day game alternate. The 70s pullovers with the red hats would be perfect for that.
  9. To be clear, the question here should not be if the Boston Marathon is something you think about when you think about Boston. It should be whether or not the people of Boston consider the Boston Marathon to be important to them. And with the amount of history combined with the bombing in 2013, it's a core part of the modern identity of the city. If we're taking "City Connect" literally, as in something that connects the fans to the city, then the marathon is one of the top options for a team to pick as inspiration. If you want to question the program or design, that's fine. But it is unequivocally a great source of inspiration given the premise.
  10. As a Boston sports fan, I can tell you that the marathon is pretty ingrained in the culture. They do it on Patriots Day every year, a regional holiday celebrating the start of the Revolutionary War. Everyone gets off school, and the Red Sox play at 11am that day to coincide with the race. Then, ever since the bombing in 2013 and subsequent David Ortiz speech and Red Sox championship, it has become a bigger part of the culture and became even more tied to the Red Sox. If you don't think the Red Sox should wear a jersey for it, that's fine. But it is absolutely something the city cares about, and the design absolutely nails the goal. You'll see nearly as many City Connect jerseys as regular ones at points in the crowd.
  11. I still think we got spoiled by the first three uniforms to come out. The Red Sox opened by nailing the "City" part with something that strongly connects to the city and is well designed. Was that uniform part of their brand in 2021? No. But it absolutely is now, and that's how traditions are born. Then, we got the Marlins with their bold design connecting to the culture of the community. It's a set that is absolutely more "Miami" than what the team wears now on a day-to-day basis. After that, it was the White Sox in all black with the "Southside" uniforms that created the perfect hybrid between the existing brand and the city. All three uniforms added something meaningful to the existing brand while connecting to the city. Many of the ones we've gotten since have seemed stale in comparison.
  12. Altering the image reveals the regular home uniform.
  13. The Rams also made that uniform their primary road uniform the next season, replacing a uniform that was not well liked. If you make the rules, you also get to choose when to ignore them, and that seems like a pretty good reason.
  14. At this point, I think the NFL just says "yes" anytime teams ask if they can wear something.
  15. And the Bruins' 23-24 schedule includes "Era Nights." There are six of them, all against Original Six opponents. Montreal gets two of them. EDIT:
  16. I believe his "insight" about the 90s throwbacks comes from the Nike Patriots shoe having royal blue this year. And the Pro Shop had hinted at 90s jerseys last year or the year before, but I believe that's all it was. It wouldn't totally shock me to see those come back in some capacity, but it would either have leaked or been announced by now if they were back for this season I think.
  17. Yeah, that Patriots "reporter" is full of . He'll probably get some of those things right by dumb luck, but that's about it.
  18. Man, this is going to look horrendous. And in primetime, too. Yuck. Better than with the grey helmets, but what an awful matchup.
  19. The satin finish on the helmet looks cool in the studio and in the daylight, but I suspect it won't look nearly as good with that warehouse lighting at Ford Field.
  20. Helmet good. Uniform bad. I'd love to see it with the white jersey and blue pants.
