  1. Not too much of an upgrade, not a downgrade either. Texans brand is pretty boring as is, and sure the horn sleeves and the number color swap are upgrades, but something just feels kinda "meh" about their brand still.
  2. As a Giants fan, I think given how ridiculously popular the throwbacks have been for the Giants, combined with the fact they're 4-0 in them and just look way more interesting, I think we should see the blue throwback and white color rush/throwback go full time home and road, with probably the white and red jersey becoming an alternate given the team won two super bowls in those unis.
  3. Knicks City edition leaked a bit, allegedly this is the full thing and it’s marvelous:
  4. Finally, to close out this series are the last 5 teams: Phoenix Suns: This uniform takes the original Suns design from the late 60s and gives it an orange-base, compared to purple. Portland Trail Blazers: Without much to choose from in the Blazers' relatively stagnant design scheme, I went way back to the 70s, taking their red jersey and giving it a remix to black. Sacramento Kings: As to not force myself to the 90s design the Kings used for so long, I did a recoloring of their navy blue days with modern colors, plus a minor upgrade to the pant logo. San Antonio Spurs: Another team with very little change in their history was San Antonio, who I gave the design of the ABA's Dallas Chaplains and colors of the Spurs. Utah Jazz: Given the popularity of their 1990s look, but the overuse of their current throwback, I took the design of their black alternate and gave it a purple makeover with refreshed pant logos. Anyway, that's all! Hope you enjoyed!
  5. As promised, the second group of teams: Los Angeles Lakers: A purple and gold version of their Minneapolis Lakers white jersey from the 40s. Did not want to retread on existing ground all too much. Memphis Grizzlies: I took the Grizzlies' inaugural jersey worn in Memphis and gave it a color swap with the teal and black to make teal the main, with minor recoloring to the pant logo. Minnesota Timberwolves: The T-Wolves' first jersey, given a green alternate style and flipping the sleeves as well. New Orleans Pelicans: Without much history allocated to the Pels, I took their current design language and gave it the Hornets color makeover. Oklahoma City Thunder: As to not take anything from the potentially returning Sonics franchise, I gave the Thunder the newest base for a RR: their mid-2010s alternate, given a white base and their primary colors to fill in the rest. Closing out this series with the last 5 teams next!
  6. Kicking off the West are the first 5 teams: Dallas Mavericks: I took the Mavericks mid-2000s alternate green jersey and gave it a color treatment, as well as switching out the logos, wordmark, and number fonts. Denver Nuggets: I took the Nuggets' Mutombo-era jersey and swapped the base to navy and changing the red and yellow to the team's current colors while adding a logo to the short instead of the pant for cleanliness. Golden State Warriors: The much beloved "We Believe" jersey make a comeback with modern colors, an altered collar, and a white base. Houston Rockets: The Rockets throw it back to their championship-era design, remixed with a yellow base and all white removed. Los Angeles Clippers: The Clips embrace their nautical uniforms of their San Diego days, given their current color treatment sans black and a slightly updated waist to match the sleeves. Up Next: Lakers, Grizzlies, T-Wolves, Pelicans, and Thunder!
  7. The final Eastern Conference teams! New York Knicks: I took the Knicks' much beloved mid-1990s uniform they made their improbable NBA Finals run in and gave it a black base. Orlando Magic: Took the shooting stars uniform used by the Magic in the late 90s-early 00s and swapped black and blue. Not much else to work with re: Orlando. Philadelphia 76ers: The AI-Era jerseys get a modern color remix, with a white base plus red and blue replacing black and gold. Toronto Raptors: Decided to get a little extra creative with he Raps, throwing them back to the 1940s with the BAA's Toronto Huskies uniform as the base with the Raptors' classic purple and red serving as the color wave. Washington Wizards: For the Wizards, I kept it simple, taking their current design and giving it the older colors. Western Conference up next!
  8. Part II of Eastern Conference Teams: Cleveland Cavaliers: The Cavs uniform throws it back to the 1980s with a wine and gold rendition of that classic jersey from the Cavs' first "good" days Detroit Pistons: The Pistons give their polarizing 1990s teal design the 2000s color treatment, with red serving as the primary and some minor alterations to the pant. Indiana Pacers: The Pacers look to their mid-80s jersey for inspiration, reversing the colors from a blue base to a yellow base. Miami Heat: The Heat get their Miami Floridians throwback uniform mixed with their current color scheme, some minor sleeve treatment, and a basic red and black Heat logo on the pant. Milwaukee Bucks: The beloved/maligned deer head alternate rears its head once again, this time with a purple base! Closing out the Eastern Conference with the Knicks, Magic, 76ers, Raptors, and Wizards next
  9. Here is a series that I've been wanting to do for a while, and given the concept of Reverse Retros is back in the public eye, I decided to give the NBA a RR makeover, going alphabetical order by Conference. Without further ado, here are the first 5 teams of the East: Atlanta Hawks: The inspiration is their iconic 1982-92 design, given a remix with the team's current red, black, and yellow color scheme. Boston Celtics: The Celtics, given their designs are pretty same-y over the course of their history, I went with a color reverse of their 2005-17 alternate, which isn't all too different from their current statement jersey but does give that uniform a bit more style with the pant and Boston wordmark. Brooklyn Nets: For the Nets, I took their white home uniform they wore from 1997 til their Brooklyn move, but flipped it to navy with red striping. Charlotte Hornets: For Charlotte, I took their current white uniform and gave it a total color remix to those of the Charlotte Bobcats' in their first season. I also altered the logos on the pants to the Bobcats' alternate logo as well. Chicago Bulls: For the Bulls, I took their peak Jordan-era pinstripe uniform and gave it a color swap makeover to red as the primary. Up Next: Cavs, Pistons, Pacers, Heat, and Bucks!
  10. To close out the series, here is the AFC West. Had fun with this series and hope you enjoyed: Denver Broncos: The Broncos sport a look that honestly has overstayed its welcome. However, it's not a bad brand, so I keep the helmet, jersey colors, and font as is. However, the rest of their set gets refreshed considerably with a new curved sleeve design that harkens back to the team's older looks. The pant also gets refreshed, keeping a similar design but adding a full border and different white pants for their orange and white uniforms to match the numbers. For their classic, their pre-1997 uniforms come back in their full glory and brighter colors. Kansas City Chiefs: With the Chiefs, their set is almost untouchable and both the red and white uniforms get no changes at all, save for a redesign of their red pant to match the styling of the white pant. The bigger changes come with, finally, the introduction of a yellow jersey as a full-time alternate, using red numbers and the new red pants. Their classic also doesn't deviate much from the norm since there's nothing to really choose from, as I remove the sleeve design, switch the facemask to grey, and throw it back to their original AFL uniforms. Las Vegas Raiders: A personal favorite of mine and a timeless classic, the Raiders' main black and white uniforms get totally untouched, while their previous silver-on-white alternate gets moved to their classic uniform, as it is based off their older AFL uniforms to begin with. The big change comes with the introduction of a new alternate in place of the now classic uniform. The new, all-black alternate gives the Raiders a black helmet for the first time since their inception, while the rest of the uniform adopts black numbers with silver outlining and a black pant. Felt this uniform could be a huge hit with their widespread fanbase. Los Angeles Chargers: With the Chargers, like both the Chiefs and Raiders, they have near-perfect uniforms as is. Thus, I kept their powder, white, and royal alternate uniforms almost untouched as well, save for the removal of the helmet number, which just cluttered the design, and the discontinuation of their existing yellow pant for the first two in favor of a yellow and royal design for the alternate, rather than their existing royal pant. As for their classic, I threw it back to their late 80s-00s design much beloved by fans and keeping a navy uniform around.
  11. Full view of the Knicks' new Statement uniform. Looks better than the leak, but still think their prior blue Statement was better:
  12. Time for the AFC South! Houston Texans: Houston did well with their uniforms on the first try, but I did see some room for improvement. The biggest changes come to the sleeves, which now match the number color and give the uniform and sleeve design more pop. The white uniform also gets some color changes, notably to their number to match the helmet and the shoulder design to let the sleeve design shine more prominently. Their red alternate gets the same treatment save for red numbers on the sleeves and a color swapped white pant. Given this is their first uniform change in team history, no classic uniform for them. Indianapolis Colts: The Colts have a classic identity that received minor updates already in 2020. So, their blue and white uniforms get no noticeable changes. The alternate is where things get more fun. While their all blue alternate jersey and pant look the same, I added an all-new color swapped helmet, giving the Colts a blue helmet for the first time since their inception that better suited the uniform. For their classic uniform, I threw it back to the 50s with the horseshoe-on-back design used during that era. Jacksonville Jaguars: For the Jags, they needed much more pizzaz in their uniforms, compared to the overly simple and boring design they use now. I added the Jags' gold to more elements of the uniform, namely the collar, sleeves and number outlining (along with black). Speaking of the numbers, I actually reverted them, as well as the last name, back to their prior font, which much better fits the brand and lets them stand out more. Their pant also adds a stripe, which kind of blends the two pant designs of the 2000s, while their teal pant is discontinued due to it just looking off in most of the uniform combos. Their wordmark is also added to the chest of all uniforms, as well as the removal of the unnecessary Jags logo patch on the right side of the chest. Their black alternate gets the same treatment as the main uniforms, save for teal taking over on the collar and sleeves. Finally, the Jags get a long desired throwback uniform for their classic design: their original design with the more curved font, old Jaguar and all. Tennessee Titans: The Titans have arguably the worst uniforms in the league presently and, thus, they get a near top-to-bottom rework of their uniforms. The Titans revert back to their older shoulder and sleeve design, removing the extremely tacky sword shoulder design they currently use, while shifting their powder blue uniform back to their main home uniform, demoting their navy uniform to alternate status, and re-adding their alternate logo to the sleeve. Unlike other teams in the NFL (and I know this may not be legal yet), I gave the Titans a different home and road helmet design, keeping their navy helmet (save for a facemask color change) for their powder blue and navy uniforms. Their current font sticks around, but it gets significantly bolder with new red accents and a switch to white numbers on the powder uniform. All uniforms also get a pant redesign, with powder pants being added to the mix and a new side design as well that meshes well with their font. Finally, close this major redesign out, Titans fans get the much beloved Oilers powder blue throwbacks brought back for their classic uniform. Will close out this series with the AFC West soon!
  13. Just fixed that up for the Browns, messed that up originally. As for the Ravens and gold, though, I wanted to limit its usage to not overdo the color scheme. They use gold as an accent right now and I wanted to keep it that way.
  14. The AFC North has less changes than other divisions, but here they are: Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens' brand is in need of a refresh in my honest opinion, so that's exactly what I did. First, I updated their goofy raven logo to a sleeker, more fierce (and anatomically accurate) raven which adds some depth as well as removing the oddly placed B in its head. Next, all of the uniforms feature a new number, name on back, and wordmark font inspired by the team's 25th anniversary logo and social media style, which helps it stand out more from the rest of the league without resorting to an outdated sans serif font. The uniform also gets a new sleeve design featuring the Maryland state flag, subtle on the home purple while more out there on the white and black jerseys to give those more purple and character. The pant also gets simplified, with a stripe only appearing on the purple set and their new logo appearing. As for their classic uniform, I threw it back to their inaugural uniforms of the mid-90s, complete with retro logos, fonts, and colors. Cincinnati Bengals: Cincy, with one of the most recently refreshed uniforms, only gets very minor changes. The shoulder tiger stripes are shrunken to add TV numbers to the sleeves to match those of Bengals uniforms of the past. The stripes on the white uniform also get orange outlining to match the numbers and incorporate more orange into the uniform. The team's white pant also gets a refreshed stripe design which incorporates black and orange, rather than just one or the other and allows for the pattern to stand out way more. The alternate orange uniform gets the most changes, with the number font switching colors to match the stripes, and a new alternate black pant featuring white. For their classic, I went back to the 80s to their original tiger stripe-incorporated uniforms. Cleveland Browns: The Browns' changes are also relatively minor compared to others in this series. The numbers get a minor redesign to match older number designs used by the team, and that's pretty much it for their brown and white uniforms. Their alternate, however, gets totally redone to now be orange with white numbers and a brown drop shadow, paying homage to the team's original brown jersey. As for their classic, it's their original white uniform, featuring, for the first time in the modern helmet era, a white helmet for the Browns. Otherwise, the rest of the uniform is similar to that of their 75th anniversary throwback used last year. Pittsburgh Steelers: As for the Steelers, you don't mess with perfection, so their black and white uniforms go practically unchanged. The changes come, however, with their alternate uniform, it now incorporates a yellow alternate helmet with a black stripe and grey facemask, as well as numbers that match the styling of their main two uniforms. The yellow pant is also carried over to the alternate, rather than black. Their throwback is their original white uniforms, which have similar styling to their alternate but with the old font and black elements. AFC South up next, which will see more significant changes than most!
  15. For the AFC East in its entirety: Buffalo Bills: The Bills' changes are minor overall relative to others in the league. First, I changed the facemask color to blue on the blue and white sets. As for the jersey itself, I removed the crowded TV numbers and added a red outline to the wordmark on the chest. The blue pant gets a minor update by swapping stripe colors to match the styling of the white pant. As for the Bills' red alternate, I gave it the team's classic red helmet from the 1980s-90s and refreshed the number coloring to match the helmet striping pattern. Their classic uniform isn't too different from their current ones, they're just the blue variant rather than white. Miami Dolphins: Unlike the Bills, the Dolphins get some major changes. First, I combined the modern dolphin logo with that of their classic leaping logo to create a new and improved logo. For their jersey, I melded their SB era throwback styling with the font of their main jersey to create what I see as a great modernization of a classic look, especially given people love those throwbacks so much. The all-teal alternate is brand new, with, for the first time, a teal helmet and orange numbers. The overall style replicates that of their 1990s uniform with Marino. As for their classic, to avoid redundancy, it's one of the most modern of the bunch: their 2000s drop shadow white uniforms. New England Patriots: The Pats get some small but noticeable tweaks to their set as well, the most obvious of which is the removal of silver from the entire set, namely the helmet and numbers. The logo on the sleeve is also replaced with TV numbers to not overuse the Flying Elvis logo. I also gave their blue uniform a white pant. The Pats also get a red alternate that matches the styling of their blue uniform. Their classic uniform, to avoid redundancy with their alternate, goes 90s, using their wild design from that era that many fans have wanted to see brought back. New York Jets: The Jets' uniforms get a total redesign, taking a best-of approach. I kept the general helmet coloring, but updated the logo to now feature the zooming jet design language used in the 80s-90s coming off the J. Their uniforms blend their 2019 design with their classic appearance from the 60s-70s and 00s-10s, using the font and vapor trail lines of the former and the style of their classic uniforms, giving a sleek appearance that still feels very "Jets". The same treatment applies to the pant. Their black alternate gets similar treatment, save for the addition of green outlining all around. As for their classic, I bring back their missed blue NY Titans throwback from their AFL days. AFC North next!
