HOOVER

Love these, too. Would definitely support them being their full-time Away set; sad they dropped the Wolf Grey jersey.

This has always been their best look. White over Grey is also their best Away look. The only pair of pants they should wear with their Navy or White jersey are the Greys.

Once they get all of the mono stuff out of their system - may take weeks, may take 2-3 years - they’ll settle on White/Red/White/Red, along with the mock-up above for Away games, and this set will get its flowers. Anyone saying the Reebok set is superior cannot be trusted.

I think they looked good. This is at least much less offensive than most of the others combos they’ve leaned heavily on in recent years.

Maybe if they wore them with the White jerseys...

The grey pants need to come back.

These were stale at the time, but I'm coming back around on them. Change to a classic, bold 1-color number font like the Bengals CR jerse;, match the helmet stripe to the White pant stripe or just a single 1-inch Navy stripe; tinker with the yoke (or pay homage to the Oilers and get rid of it completely); then use something other than the Sword logo on the cap sleeve and these could make a great next set that could stick around forever. I would argue that White pants could also be worn with the White jersey, but there should never be a Navy jersey or pant ever again. Both their current and former uniforms are marred by the use of bad combinations.

canzman is a national treasure. He must be protected at all costs. Amazing update to this template. Thanks as always for your work.

BSN is not out there giving better deals. Together with the brand they’ll give an annual comp allotment at retail price and then a percentage back on overall spend, but it’s not comparable to what Nike or UA offers the big schools when handled directly.

Dude…good eye. That’s not the same shiny pant that the Cowboys & Raiders are wearing. I wonder if this is a new pant they’re adding back into the mix in 2024? Or, they had Ripon make these and it’s their template with a Swoosh sewn on?

I’m going to say it. Those pants look… …shiny.

Is that an assumption or from a source?

What’s sad about these is that they’re what you guys call “catalog order” from Nike Team Sports…one of the tells is the cap sleeve. It’s a sublimated panel. It always stands out most when used on a black uniform because it has a slight sheen to it, and because it’s a different fabric, it doesn’t keep the same shape as the standard cap sleeve fabric that matches the body of the jersey. I’ve always hated this. Those new Utah State unis are “catalog order”, too. This is the kind of stuff that BSN and other team dealers can deliver. Shocked to see Nike putting it on these schools, unless they’ve dumped them off onto BSN, too.

Oh my stars & garters. These are an instant classic. The corrected helmet logo with that uniform is just stunning. Big one-color block numbers 4 life. Bravo to whoever did this.

I’m anxious now to see them live in all-White and all-Black. Those are going to be their best looks. Any way you cut it, these are better than the retired Reebok piping set.

It’ll still be better than this used tampon look. I think real soon they’ll realized White/Red/White looks great and they’ll go that way the majority of the time. Red socks would obviously look better but if it means they wear White socks, I’ll take it.

Patriots vs Texans tonight looked awful. Patriots need Grey pants to wear with Navy jerseys in the worst way. Did I see somewhere they were coming this year? Texans makeover can’t come soon enough.

This is funny. But I actually don’t hate it at all.

I never noticed that, but now won’t be able to un-see it.

I feel like we’re about to see the pendulum swing back to a very simple shell design in the coming years. These are so overdesigned and I’m not convinced it’s all for safety.

I love the bear logo. Born in ‘83, they were my first favorite team 100% because of that bear. I had sweatpants with that bear head on it. Then I watched Joe Montana lead “The Drive” in January it ‘89 and that was it. I was a Niners fan for the next 4 years until he was traded to KC, where my fandom has been ever since. But damn it if it doesn’t make me feel good seeing this bad boy back:

First, the fact that absolutely no one would choose those fonts if they were designing new uniforms today. Secondly, you know how when you're scrolling down the fonts list in Microsoft Word or Adobe Photoshop, and you can't scroll past fonts like Cooper, Engravers MT, and Mistral fast enough? Or when you're driving down the highway and you see that run down strip mall business sign using Comic Sans or some poster or flyer that someone with no artistic ability made using Papyrus? That's how I feel when I see the Eagles or Ravens number fonts.

Yes, and it’s just a dated 90’s font. Ravens have the same issue. The uniform itself is fine, though not quite iconic, but updating the font would really make a dramatic difference.

I get why they want to do this but it will be a shame if those White Color Rush unis go away. In some ways they’re nicer than their current Whites, even though they’re a little bit of a mess since the pant & helmet stripes don’t match the Black cap sleeve stripes. It’s a real shame they didn’t keep those Black block numbers.
