    You know, aside from the Cardinals logos above the nameplates.

    They're both dumb

    G-d the sleeve wordmark is dumb

    Adidas ended up buying Reebok (and may have already done so by that point) and the Brady Pats look has all the hallmarks of the Reebok panel and piping looks so I consider them part of that trend.

    Sex/Gender has been an option on message boards as long as I've been visiting them. I'm fine with modifying the field to have "Male," "Female," "Non-binary," and "Prefer Not to Say" options. But I really don't think a pronouns field is necessary, or warranted.

    As good a run as the Broncos had with the Cyber Horse 1) everything old is new again and 2) you can't stave that off with incompetence. Denver won back to back Super Bowls in 1998 and 1999. Then they set the record for worst record for a defending champ in 2000 that stood until the Rams prolapsed in 2022. They won another when an all-time great defence carried the burnt out husk of Peyton Manning to a second title, but that was in 2015. It's been eight years and a parade of failed coaches and QBs, the last of which is on a team crippling contract if he can't turn his game around. Sixteen years of nothing between 1999 and 2015. Eight more years of nothing since, and becoming the joke of the NFL thanks to Russell Wilson's LETS RIDE mantra and bad sandwich commercials. Sooner or later the ratio of bad football to good tips in the bad's favour. And then the classic brand, which is the opposite of the slick Cyber Horse/Nike panelled look, becomes appealing.

    Yep my mistake. Sorry!

    I'm not a Broncos fan but I absolutely prefer the D to the Cyber Horse. I'll explain it the best I can. So I wasted most of my life up until very recently as a Chargers fan (the first year of my "official" Bucs fandom saw them win a Super Bowl, which was clearly a sign from the football gods that I'd made the right decision). As such I grew up despising the Broncos, but also kind of respecting them? Like how I HATE the Habs as a Leafs fan, but they're our oldest rivals. They can themselves but also ok, it would be pretty boring without them. That's the sort of feeling I had towards the Broncos. Anyway that also came with a layer of AFL appreciation. And when you look at the original AFL/AFC teams... Denver feels like our Cowboys. They have a fanbase that's annoyingly larger than their home base. They're always promoted as a top team in prime time. It seems like people won't shut up about them even when they suck (Teebow anyone?) and they're an older, more traditional team in a western locale. Simply put? The Cyber Horse and Nike's futuristic-for-1997 redesign doesn't fit them in my opinion. It's too out there, too modern. Sure it'd fit if they were a 1997 expansion team, but they're not. I get the Super Bowl argument. I've seen Denver go 3-1 in Super Bowls in these uniforms/with this logo which is nothing to sneeze at. I get it. It just doesn't fit the "vibe" I get from the franchise though. The D/Horse, for all its awkwardness and association with face planting teams, does.

    John Elway was a terrible GM who lucked into Peyton Manning wanting to wind down his career in Denver over Glendale.

    No Buffalo's current look debuted in the final years of the Reebok deal. But even if Houston and Buffalo's looks debuted under Reebok that's not what @BBTV is talking about, I don't think. It's not a strict "uniforms designed by Reebok," he's referencing a specific trend Reebok was at the front of in the 2000s- panels and piping. Atlanta, New England, Arizona, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, and Buffalo 02-10. All of these Reebok looks have finally been replaced (Buffalo's was the first, with a more traditional Reebok design in 2011). Not all the replacements have been good. Atlanta's new unis are awful and Arizona's new set still has too many small little things that bother me. Even still, Arizona's 05-22 unis were the last holdout of that style and they're thankfully gone.
  14. IceCap
    They do
  15. IceCap
    That set will always be the Jake Plumber set to me

    For all of these uniforms' faults I'm glad they kept the team colours intact.

    It's a plague

    Ok mod hat on. TruColor has proven his bonafides as a trustworthy source time and again, and has ALWAYS walked the line between sharing news and not compromising his sources exceptionally well. He's also one of the people to thank for our community being what it is today. Many people, myself included, found the CCSLC through his SSUR site back in the day. In this case he passed along information from a source that was clearly lying to him. It's not his fault. We've all been duped before. So let me make this clear. This will not became a "badger TruColor" thread. If it continues to trend in that direction it will be locked and the responsible parties will be disciplined. Thank you all for your expected cooperation.

    Not exactly but close, yes

    Changes I'd make... Get rid of the ARIZONA on the red jerseys Put white stripes on the red pants Make the road striping red and black instead of silver and red Replace the CARDINALS wordmark on the sleeves with the Arizona state flag

    Counter-point- The Cards have a history of their red and white jerseys not being mirrors of each other
  22. IceCap
    Plausible? Sure. Nike's talked teams into dumb ideas before. But that's not what the Cards and Nike did. Sure we can see it happening, but it didn't. And I hope this being such a high profile example of Reddit bull gets people to finally realize that they're better off ignoring what comes out of that place uni and logo-wise.

    Winnipeg is like 12% of Atlanta in terms of population but the Jets are far more supported and financially successful than the Thrashers ever were. The idea that the bigger the market the bigger the success is quickly losing currency, if it ever had any to begin with.
  24. IceCap
    I'm very happy we didn't get that VT colour change On the whole Reddit's been a source of bs and disinformation by teenagers or adults with teenage sensibilities who get off on the idea of having inside info. Even if they don't actually have it.
  25. IceCap
    I'd rather ban Reddit and all Reddit-related discussions then ban a single sort of criticism that you personally find annoying.
