  1. I am pro-Dark Navy for the Texans. I may be in the minority but I strongly dislike their Red helmet & uniforms. Red, in this case, makes a great accent color to the Dark Navy, but as a primary, Dark Navy doesn't do anything for the Red as an accent. I had hoped they'd drop the helmet for the White version, though. Using a Dark Navy facemask would've made it unique to the league, and it could've been swapped out with a Red facemask for an Oilers-tribute alt. I still think the Dark Navy helmet would benefit from a stripe.
  2. Absolute upgrade. I actually really like the number font. Disappointing if that’s the same Houston wordmark though. Worried about how thick that Red stripe is….gotta wait & see. Also love how the numbers are done. They’re not fully perforated and the Red trim looks glossy. Can’t wait to see more. Only scary thing now is the claim that each uniform will be a different design…let’s hope they tie together somewhat.
  3. I'm a Chiefs fan and Skyy Moore is #24 and I cannot stand it.
  4. @BBTV Lot of good thoughts here. I think most teams are shying away from retiring numbers anymore; they may not issue them for awhile, but they're keeping that flexibility by not officially retiring them. I think teams found out long ago that doing that limits being able to put players in numbers, especially with the increased (offseason & practice squad) roster sizes. So I do believe we'll see less and less of this being an issue as very few players have their numbers retired going forward. Too many players now have access to 0-19, which creates the problem for QBs, Ks and Ps. This is why I think you've gotta remove some position groups from having the ability to wear them, and I think the obvious players that you remove from being able to wear singles & teens are IDL, LB, and possibly EDGE players, who could have new classification groups all their own: K/P: 0-19 QB: 0-19 RB: 0-9, 20-49 (no RBs should be wearing teens, save these for WRs) WR: 0-19, 80-89 TE: 40-49, 80-89 LS: 40-79 OL: 50-79 IDL: 50-59, 90-99 EDGE: 40-59, 90-99 LB: 50-59, 90-99 DB: 0-9, 20-49 To do this, the league, especially the NFLPA, would need to clarify position groups and that would relate to defensive system: if you're a 3-4 DE, you're an IDL; if you're a 4-3 DE, you're an EDGE. If you're an OLB in either system, you're an EDGE, and if you're an off-ball LB, you're an LB. In my breakdown above, there are still too many rostered players fighting over 0-9, but by taking out IDL/EDGE/LBs from the equation, it alleviates the problem somewhat. Keeping those players out of 10-39 or even 10-49 also frees up more numbers for DBs, who may try to take 0-9 from QBs, Ks, Ps. This probably makes things way too complicated. Unfortunately, the NFL had it right a few years ago when they just let WRs wear 10-19. All they had to do to really fix the system is let them wear 0-9 as well to free up what was becoming a logjam...everything else was perfect.
  5. Agree they need to adjust it again, but I prefer this. K/P: 0-19 QB: 0-19 RB: 0-9, 20-49 WR: 0-19, 80-89 TE: 40-49, 80-89 OL: 50-79 DL: 50-59, 90-99 LB: 0-19, 40-59, 90-99 DB: 0-9, 20-49
  6. 40 & 42 are two of the best numbers in football but very underutilized. I miss power backs.
  7. That top left is the best Texans concept I’ve ever seen. EDIT - to save you the click: Think I'd love it even more with a White helmet.
  8. I agree. I can't find a UA team color card with PMS codes. In my days in team sporting goods, Maroon was one of the trickiest colors across manufacturers; one college I outfitted, for example, called their color "Maroon"...but it was much closer to Nike's Team Cardinal than it was to Nike's Team Dark Maroon, so we chose Cardinal for all of their gear. Didn't help that the designer who rebranded the school - which had been Nike school for a very long time and still is - paid no attention to Nike's color palette when designing all of their new marks. The Maroon was not a match for Nike's Team Dark Maroon OR Team Cardinal, and the Orange was not a match for Nike's Team Orange or Bright Ceramic (Tennessee Orange). So, all of the campus & facility branding never perfectly matched the team apparel or uniforms, and if coaches did were not careful, things like helmet decals and other printed equipment or accessories would be off, too.
  9. This uniform builder is for the sublimated uniforms only, which are actually manufactured/fulfilled by Alleson Athletics. UA’s cut & sew has less available colors. Sadly, no Plum or equivalent, which explains the change. In textile manufacturing, there are limitations on color availability, which I never quite understood, but is frustrating. Plum could be made, but to do so, a certain amount of fabric has to be dyed and used, and if it’s not all going to be used, they won’t make it. This is where sublimation came in handy, at the expense of quality. There is simply no forgiving them for :censored:ing up the pant stripe, though.
  10. Moving to Texas Flag Blue is logical, but I don’t know if it works with their expected used of Oiler Blue in some fashion. If only as an alternate, then I’d fully support this update.
  11. My wife’s family are all diehard Hoosiers. I can’t even watch the teams because of how bad the adidas looks are. Praying they flip to Nike. And yea…Crimson & Cream.
  12. Huge fan of Native American use of turquoise. I may be in the minority, but I’d love to see these on-field. Assume they’d need to be paired with a new white helmet and pants.
  13. Overall it’s a great set. I do wish they removed the helmet numbers and I could go without the Royal Blue alt because the Navy alts are so nice.
  14. Still don't love the number fonts, but I can respect the desire to keep it consistent. Amazing the difference that a solid uniform template & manufacturer can make.
  15. Thought this happened last year, no? For those that missed it, TB12 also merged into No Bull.
