  1. The Texans uniforms get me vote for being very good, red alt helmet and color rush non-withstanding. @Bmac took the words right out of my mouth. That is the correct opinion regarding the Texans. Everyone wishing for something new won’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone

    All would have been better than Commanders.

    Washington Americans has a nice ring to it. I think a turkey would be cool logo/mascot to go along with it. They’re as American as it gets and they’re some mean SOB’s.

    I think that ship has sailed and they don't need to go back.  The only way for it to work is to get approval from Native American groups and they would still look at Warriors as a way of placing them in a box. 

     

    You mean COL Rock? 

    Redwolves or 32's would be a great way to move forward. With 32's you just need the colors to stay burgundy and gold, and your mascot choices are endless. Football Player Rushing with Ball | #T26497 | CSA Images

    An updated version of something like this, and a W on his chest would be a great start. 

    The old-timely football guy is cool and I don’t hate the idea of 32’s, but I don’t see how that would ever fly in the same league as the 49ers.

  4. I don’t like the Commanders name, but I highly doubt it’s going anywhere. I’ll always stump for Redwolves or WFT. Going back to the classic uniforms with a white/gold stripe and new, better W on the helmet would be good enough for me at this point

  5. OK State looks great. Only a minor nitpick, because the block numbers are perfectly serviceable, maybe a # font matching the wordmark would be nice. Also, I’ve never really liked Pistol Pete on the helmet. They really only need OSU and the cowboys script IMO. Also, also, I’m OVER matte and satin helmet finishes. I’d kill for a nice high-gloss black helmet, it’s such a sharp look. Still, these uniforms are pretty good. Huge upgrade

  6. Forget I about those Vegas jerseys. I feel like if that could translate to football fabrics it would have. Where’s the dazzle on those GT uniforms?  Is it the pants? I’d love the see the Niners and Panthers back in shiny pants, but I think the fact that we haven’t seen something like that implies they can’t get the material to a place where they want it. I don’t wanna sound like a Nike Stan here. and maybe I’m naive, and they just don’t wanna do it but I think that would be a big deal for the teams with silver/gold helmets to have state of the art shiny pants. Right now, if it’s important enough to them, they’re still wearing the same pants I wore in high school in 2009 which is fine if that’s what they want, but those things were hot and heavy and did not wick moisture at all.

  7. True, but that’s a different application. It’s used only as trim on those hockey uniforms. Football uniforms are super tight and super stretchy. I think if they could make it super light and stretchy we’d see it on high level football uniforms.

    Look, some of the hate for Nike is warranted, but show me another uniform manufacturer, in any sport, that is still using dazzle fabric.

    I agree. I gotta think they have been working on something, but for whatever reason the performance isn’t there. If they had cracked the code to make shiny fabric moisture wicking and lightweight on the same level as contemporary matte fabrics, Nike or anyone else who made the innovation would be pushing the hell out of it.

  9. Houston should be wearing this full time if they want to use more red:

    *note the bonus use of the correct socks with the blue pants


    Something about the red helmet just feels off to me. I don’t like the finish, it’s too orangey but besides that, it’s just doesn’t look right to me for reasons I can’t really articulate.

    Shorts would probably have worked with a jersey that didn’t have as much going on. Bigger wordmark was definitely needed. 

    Yeah if the shoulder loops were erased we could have a bigger wordmark. Maybe keep the double “loop” look going just on the armhole trim. I think there’s something there anyway.

  11. Uniforms are great, no real complaints there. I really love the cap logo. My one critique is concerning the pronghorn logo. It’s a little too illustrative for a sports logo. It’s more reminiscent of a Dept of Natural Resources logo. I think trying for something more stylized like the Milwaukee Bucks or this Fairfield Stags might be more appropriate

    Just a full switch to jelly green with the current template would be the best option for Philly. Because if they dig into new logos who knows what will get approved?

    Yeah I’d be okay with that. The logo never needs to change. I’d rather see Philly ditch the black and charcoal and ride with midnight green and silver. That would probably necessitate more than tweaks to the uniforms, though.

  13. I think the Texans and Ravens both look pretty good, not perfect. I’d like to see the eagles make a change, but they’re also in the “careful what you wish for” category for me. I can be content with those looks if it means we don’t get a Nike makeover with all sorts of weird unnecessary details that overshadow the good parts.
