No one. Redwolves, Redtails, Pigskins or Hogs. Or something else. Even Football Team has Synder's stink despite being an interim name. 

It is definitely pretty meh.

so, these colts unis are supposed to look like blue jeans and jacket?  Like a midwestern cowboy ? They aren't terrible, regular (or royal)  helmet would be better. 

If they wore white pants, it would be just meh. Canadian Tuxedo Colts.

They have an alt helmet and alt uni slot. And black as an accent color. it's possible.

If you need to bring more colors into the fold (which I'm not averse to, the Spurs are not the Raiders or the White Sox), you have the fiesta tones right there. I don't see a need for gold.

Fiesta doesn’t do it to me, I see it as an occasional one-off a la Miami Vice. Interesting per se, but too disconnected and not a colorway I’d like to have for a permanent look.

I like the Fiesta colors.. It was always jarring when they had the Fiesta logo on their court and warmups and yet switch to black and silver. The 20-21 and 21-22 City editions were perfect.

**Polarizing opinion but I don't like gray facemasks and I while it's the right move for a one-game throwback, I want them to have purple facemasks for standard uniforms.

The Vikings look good with the helmet shell and everything neck down. However, they should have been like Cleveland and not rolled out gray facemask. Purple or white would've been so much better.

I disagree about the facemask. (I know, I know.)  When I advocate here that every team in the league switch to gray masks, I'm kidding. (Well, mostly kidding.  Or at least, sometimes kidding.) But in this particular case, like the Colts, like the 49ers, like what the Browns should be wearing, it just looks so perfect with the uniform's overall aesthetic.

Might be a scorching take but this throwback set is a just a tiny bit overrated. Still very much worthy of bringing back and a damn good uniform, but I honestly prefer the Vikings' current set to these by a good amount. The yellow and white on the stripes get muddied together at a distance due to lack of contrast and the gray facemask, though historically accurate, doesn't match the rest of the set at all. Feels weird to me having  a dull gray element on an otherwise bright and cheery uniform. Easily the next best set the Vikings have had, just wouldn't be my cup of tea if it returned as a full-time set.

 

Again, still a great uniform, love it as an alternate, I just wouldn't want to see this era's set return full time. The Vikings current set - so long as monochrome is avoided - is a modern classic and among the NFL's best uniforms.

I completely agree. Their current look is cool and has some unique modern elements. The throwback works perfectly as what it is.

If they had white striped socks to wear with the away purple pants it would be better.

With the Oilers throwback unveiling only a week away now, are we prepared for the all the traffic that’ll inevitably crash the boards? 
 

Because the boards will crash.

Does this mean they're bringing back the 1946 uniform?

They do have a slot left.

Rockets Twitter stuff is now the red and yellow classic logo. Weird. If I had to guess they're gonna wear a white version of the jersey on a Summit alt court to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 1994 Finals.

 

They wore the red one a few years ago.

 

 

But also even if none of this is true and they are just fooling around, well, here is them fooling around a few days ago...

 

Speaking of throwbacks, they changed to another one.

49ers, Saints, Bucs, hell the Pats were looking at you.

Suns in gradients would actually be a decent successor for the old Starbucks for jerseys.  Just switch to the current wordmarks and boom, new set.

Bills should really do a red alt helmet. 

They'll probably rock all-black everything thrice and the only red we'll be seeing is the seats in the stands and blood from our eyes.

This would seem strange to me--in combination with the other evidence--if they've not switching to red full time. Why waste a preseason game on one of your three chances to wear it?

Draft graphics were also red too.

And other related graphics as well. If they are switching to red primaries, I'd be the happiest fan ever.

Though we all though that the Cards were going with red and gold based on their social media and see what happened there.

What’s with the Penn State helmet? Are they poking fun at how Cleveland has no helmet logo?

Dude, it's just monochrome for stylistic reasons.

Imagine if the Texans wore their red pants with the white and blue jerseys.

o

Angels can go with their city connects or powder throwbacks. 

Brewers can go with their city connects.

The Texans going away from red socks on the aways will never make sense to me

They were on a losing streak at the time and changed things up for the sake of it. And stuck with yoga pants since.

 Not going the hog/pig route with the new name was a bonehead move by the Snyder administration. That's the only way they should have went after the old name was retired. Redtails, Redwolves or any other name should not have even been entertained. The club had a secondary identity in Hogs for decades that could have easily been adopted but nope, Snyder's gonna snyde. Then they thought a military worship theme would win over the diehards that didn't want the name to change, but it didn't. To add insult to incompetence they trotted out the lamest possible hog mascot in Major Tuddy.

 

They could have at least attempted to make Tuddy look tough. He looks like a concept design of Hamton J. Pig from Tiny Toons in a Gibbs era uniform for crying out loud.

 

The more I hear it, the more it makes sense. Hogs could refer to the historical Hogs or the current Hogs and there wouldn't be an identity-legacy limbo like we have here in Houston.

I love the Orioles City Connect jersey as it perfectly encapsulates the City of Baltimore.

Sorry, this was the first thing that came to mind. 

I don't mind the asymmetrical uniforms since their historical context and the Giants. Its stupid-a$$ gigantic wordmark makes it horrible!

Maybe Carolina won't get rid of the contrast collars but shrink 'em like the Bucs did theirs on their (neo-)Super Bowl Set. 

That seems like the obvious case.

@TruColor Any word on the Texans? Many in the media have implied us reclaiming, stealing back in light blue.

I've never really understood the shift from "Diet" to "Zero Sugar", while still producing both products. They both use aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and they both taste terrible. I guess the Zero Sugar drinks might be slightly less terrible, but they're all the same thing to me. They could use sucralose, allulose, or erythritol to differentiate one, but nope. They both have that distinctive aspartame taste, so why should I buy Zero Sugar if I already don't like Diet?

 

I guess what I'm saying is, making Zero Sugar the focus of the brand is stupid.

 

Different flavors and recipes. Same thing with their crimson competition Coke. The zero sugar versions taste closer to their HFCS or sugar sweetened counterparts.
