  1. 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:
  2. 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.
  3. I was cautiously optimistic that maybe they’d wear the black maybe just once, or even not at all, but they are slated for two games.
  4. Was it my imagination, or was there confirmation of the Browns moving to a white facemask next season?
  5. All white for Washington confirmed (for what is hopefully Snyder's last game as team owner).
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. Adding gold pants would be a more than welcomed addition, even if it just amounts to lipstick on a pig.
  9. 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.
  10. 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:
  11. 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.
  12. The only way to make this set even semi-salvageable is to add some gold pants to the home set. See far left uni:
  13. They should replace all years and Roman numerals on the roundel with, "We used to be good!".
  14. Looks like the team has changed the roundel to include SB roman numerals versus the year.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. I thought it was an asymmetrical stripe at first too, but the half of the stripe that appears white, is just glare. It's a solid gold stripe.
  20. 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.
  21. I'm not overjoyed with Admirals, but I like it much more than Commanders.
  22. Mod Edited to embed the tweet. Paste the URL up to the question mark and it will embed automatically.
  23. 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.
