    Technically the only sock option that the Chargers currently have for their primary uniforms is powder blue, so adding powder blue pants would most likely mean a powder blue leggings look. No thanks.

    A few years ago, I too wondered what this would look like, so I threw together a quick mock-up.  I felt the same as you though, the powder socks really take away from powder pants:

    The Commanders need gold pants with the burgundy jersey. NEED. Aren’t there some sitting in a Landover closet somewhere?

    The stripe pattern of the gold pants used with the last set would totally work with the stripe pattern of the burgundy jersey.  They could easily just use that design.  I would be afraid that if gold pants were introduced, we'd just get stripe-less gold pants though.

    You're kidding. When was the last time paint was used to decal an NFL helmet? Anyone?


    No, dead serious. This was discussed ad nauseam on the boards a few years back. Unless something changed recently, the stripes on the Bengals helmets have been painted on.

  4. I watched that video someone posted of Riddell employees preparing the various alternate helmets and one guy was applying stripe decals to the new Bengals alt lid.  I thought that those would be painted on?

    Saw on the Madden 23 beta that the Commanders have 4 pant options. 

     

    Black, white, maroon and yellow

     

    Adding gold pants would be a more than welcomed addition, even if it just amounts to lipstick on a pig.

    I agree that the Panthers are in definite need of simplification.  The modern jersey has just shrunk itself right out of their design.

    This looks better than I thought it would.  I was in the 'move TV number to the sleeves' camp, but this may be the way to go.

    Im not someone who has any sort of photoshop ability but can anyone mock up each jersey with a different pant/sock combination?

     

    I’m just curious the possible improvement with the right combo. Not saying it’s going to save this look but anything other than mono will help it somewhat. 

     

    I haven't made combos for every jersey available, but a few weeks back, I took a photoshop of the new white uniforms that I found online and added burgundy pants:

    And the black pants:

    There is also a rumored gold pants option, so I threw this together as well:

    Of course, all options would look much better if the set was devoid of black.

     

    Even just replacing the black sleeve stripes with gold stripes, kicks the look up a notch.  Though still a polished turd:

  8. I don't think it's particularly bad, but it's not particularly good either.  I think it would look letter if they had gone with gold/yellow from the Moon era that was just a hair darker.  I also wonder if a white mask would look better, or if it would come off as trying too hard to look like the old Eskimos.

    I mean, it’s a reasonable prediction and A+ execution, but those two alternates scare the :censored: outta me 

     

    I actually take solace in those being the alternates.  The white alt was in the teaser video, and I was scared that that was going to be the regular away jersey.

  10. It's clean out your locker day in Washington and the local media is asking WFT players what they think of the new jerseys.  Chase Young says "They're tough. I ain't gonna fake.", and Jonathon Allen calls them "phenomenal".  I say, "Red flag".

     

    History has told me that when players say the unis are "dope" or "fire" or whatever, then we are in trouble.  I wish they'd let old men like me determine if they are dope or not.

    Did some deep watching of the helmet video. I think there are multiple helmet options:

    • the burgundy with yellow facemask clearly shown
    • burgundy facemask seen at :09 seconds
    • black helmet with black facemask, with what appears to be a number on one side (definitely not the W)

    The helmet handed to Rivera does not have a yellow mask – either gray, burgundy, or black. The blur of the burgundy helmet shows a singular yellow stripe, not two-tone.

     

    A couple guess: they have not finalized helmet design, they will mix and match shells and masks, or there are some smoke screens involved.

     

     

    I'm really hoping that they are just throwing some smoke screens at us, but I honestly question if they are smart enough to pull if off?  They bungle everything they touch.

     

    Being a fan of this franchise, the single thing we had going for us was solid looking unis.  Now, that seemingly will be going out the window.

  12. When looking at the helmets in the video, it looks like Rivera is holding a burgundy helmet with a black mask, then Martin Mayhew is holding a burgundy helmet with a burgundy mask.  It could be lighting or clips from when they were looking at prototypes.  Anyway, I can speculate until I'm blue in the face.  It's probably best to just wait and see on 2/2.

    Took the time to draw out a *very* rough estimate of what we're seeing... Pants are speculative, and the helmet W is a placeholder for the logo, but colors are predicted/seen. Also no clue on yellow stripe for black helmet...

    If this comes to fruition, I will be very disappointed. Especially with the white, away set.  The lack of gold on the jersey would make it tough to mix and match with burgundy pants. 

     

    Anyway, thanks for putting this visual together man.

  14. I’d like to see the new name start with R, but not Redtails or Redwolves. I’ve always thought the name Roughriders with maybe some sort of Teddy Roosevelt motif would be cool, but I don’t think that would fly with the CFL team of the same name. Plus, the name would not be original.

     

    I’m actually more concerned that the rebrand will come with some sort of new uniform abomination. I love the team’s unis (with the addition of gold pants) and would hate to see them stray away too far from the current look.
