I agree. As much as I'd like to see the Falcons' red helmets and Bucs' creamsicles, the one-helmet rule is essential to maintaining brand identity in this ever-turbulent uniform world. It does more good than harm.

What's the difference between having more than one helmet color and more than one jersey color?

Do we have any word on if Washington will unveil a new name this offseason?

Which teams have gone the longest without a major uniform change/rebrand?

Excluding "traditional" teams that won't change like Green Bay, Las Vegas, Chicago, Steelers, Chiefs?

There was an uproar from Ohio's two U.S. Senators, one of whom was John Glenn, who got up the NFL's ass and made enough noise about anti-relocation legislation and the antitrust exemption to spook the NFL into a compromise. The Oilers didn't seem to enjoy that level of advocacy. Neither team should have been allowed to move. 

Seems like the Oiler's lack of success didn't ingratiate themselves into Houstons DNA like the Browns were in Clevelands.

It is quite stunning some of the business decisions the NFL made in the 90's that would be unfathomable today.

Putting a team in Jacksonville and dropping two huge markets like LA and Houston.

Sort of reflects all of the clown "legacy" owners that wouldn't sniff ownership today.

If almost a third of the league can have Navy, we can have another powder blue team. I would like it.

Isn't that just the point? We don't need ANOTHER blue dominant team.

2. IMO again, but everything about the Texans brand is far superior to the Oilers.

Dead wrong. Aside form the Texans logo (which is 10/10), there is not one thing that excels or stands out about the identity.

 

 

 

No, it's not "dead wrong". Your opinion is that it's dead wrong. Just like my opinion is the opposite. Your opinion is not fact.

At the very least, the Texans can switch to white helmets and replace navy with powder. They should do everything in their power to be the Oilers in all but name. 

Bad idea, imo for a number of reasons:

1. We've already got the Chargers and Titans using powder in the AFC. We've already got them plus Patriots, Colts, Bills all using blue as the dominant color. Texans current color scheme stands out more.

2. IMO again, but everything about the Texans brand is far superior to the Oilers.

3. The fanbase has had 20 years to get used to the Texans, there's an entire generation who only knows the Texans. No need to alienate them potentially.

4. You don't want the fanbase to be stuck in the past, you want to establish the TEXANS, not remind everyone that you're NOT the Oilers.

Houston's got really solid uniforms, but they're nothing special. They are very much fitting for the Texans franchise: solid, but forgettable. The best thing the Texans could do is make the red jersey, white pants, red socks their default home uniform.

I think they should make red the primary color and blue the secondary to further carve out their own niche/fandom from the Cowboys who are so dominant in Texas. Plus, Chiefs are the only red dominant team in the AFC.

Like this concept.

LeBron is at summer league wearing an "LA"  logo Lakers colored hat with a "LeBronLand" logo(aka Disneyland logo).

Guess where Disneyland is?

The Cowboys hold training camp in Oxnard, California, 20 miles from the Rams practice facility.

 

What's your point?

Cowboys don't treat Oxnard as home market.

For media and sports purposes the Los Angeles market is LA+OC+Riverside+San Bernardino+Ventura counties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_metropolitan_area

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles#Combined_Statistical_Area

It's common sense and anything else is nitpicking. 

Rams and Chargers are both holding training camps within a 20 minute drive of Angel Stadium, with it being promoted as in the home market.

But they aren't Los Angeles teams right?

The LA Rams played in Anaheim for 15 years.

Angel stadium is 30 miles from downtown LA.

The Cowboys play in Arlington, the 49ers in Santa Clara etc.

The LA metro extends far past the distance of Angel stadium, and the Dodgers or any LA sports team will tell you any day it's part of "their" market. There's probably at least as many Dodger fans in OC as there are Angel fans.

There are financial, logistical, and other substantive issues that come into play for where teams physically play in their metro areas, anything else is just nitpicking when you've got nothing better to do.

That's difficult for many of us on the east coast to grasp.  From me in South Philadelphia, 100 miles puts me precisely at the Empire State Building... which is certainly not in the same metro.

That's why I find this Chargers stuff in the other thread so silly.

They have a market from the Mexican border in the south to basically Santa Barbara in the North, stretching 230 miles North to South with 20 million people. 

You would have to try to fail in order to do so.

Angel Stadium is less than 30 miles from downtown LA.

I don't think most people realize how big the LA metro area is, as Bill Simmons put it.

There are points that are well over 100 miles apart.

I like this era of CBS 

 

Nothing tops this and NBC of the 90's for NBA/NFL.

It's amazing how boring and bland ESPN/ABC's coverage is in comparison.

Wrong thread.

Can anyone explain why the Knicks shade of orange seems to translate across different images with so much variance?

This is how it should look IMO:

But more often than not it appears lighter and more "washed out". Not singling out your designs in particular just something I've noticed for a long time.

By the way, I will be out of town for the next 2.5 weeks, so please wait a little bit for me to address your requests. Thanks for understanding.

Yes, with some minor modifications as sayahh did. Although it is great to see the inverse version. Thank you. The Cavs courts look breathtaking.

@PepMan33Conde  I went back and re-read what colortv wrote and I think it's a combination of both.  I took your second one and colored the three-point line as well as what I assume he meant by verbiage and colored that too.  I left "THEREALPEPMAN" in there because I only tweaked it and you did most of the work.

 

@colortv  Is this what you wanted?

 

 

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you. I should have just used the Lakers court as a reference for the color layout. I think this layout would improve the Knicks court tremendously, although the inverse version might be even better.

Any thoughts?

Trending all over, guess San Jose is a no-go.
