I tend to look at uni designs through manufacturer eyes since that has the biggest impact on these types of decisions. It makes no sense absorbing a profitable throwback market like that

The obvious middle ground (to me, anyway) is a primary uniform with classic stripes, a lace-up neck, and the old alternate logo filtered through the classic colors: ...and, for the shoulders, a slightly modernized & isolated version of the Buffalo from the classic logo: ...and a yellow alternate DONE RIGHT!

So does every bootleg jersey site... unless you win a low-priced eBay auction, assume "too good to be true" prices are exactly that.

This specific picture with the blue sleeves gives this uniform a deceptive amount of balance. I always found the dark blue far too overbearing without the 80s yellow cutting through.

If one of my students called out a teacher for wearing a fake jersey, he/she would drown in A's tbh

That Hawks set looks amazing looking back at it, but, to be fair, I remember how bland and washed out it seemed at the time.

Makes me happy this guy got his: Bonus shotout to Mike Lodish for nabbing two rings in Denver.

With reports that Buffalo has offered Reggie Bush a 1 yr min. deal...

I have so much respect for painters. Some kids had swim test anxiety - I had watercolor anxiety. Everything I painted turned into a brown puddle. I would love to get into something like this: http://twistedsifter.com/2014/07/thrift-store-painting-remixes-by-david-irvine/

I almost hate to create evidence of this opinion, but I caught some clips on NFL Network and love how this set looks in action:

This is a common misconception! It was actually this man, who dropped his signature spear maneuver for the dreaded neutral zone trap:

A pretty big indy wrestling company in Toronto dropped this poorly-rendered logo a few weeks back: After a little searching, I turned up this... at least they kept it local?

Edmonton has a great classic look and a smidge too tricky a namesake to rebrand gracefully (as the fossil drops made clear years ago)

What has the process been in the past to get moving? I have a few logos in mind to nominate!

If I recall correctly, Chicago used the pick from that trade to draft Eric Daze... not bad considering we flipped a known-as-elite Hasek for Slava Kozlov and a squandered 1st in '02

Purists aren't crazy about it, but unique branding could be a goldmine for teams like these who would otherwise generate zero interest outside their regions.

I read that whole excerpt in a Trump voice

Makes me miss the oversized logos on the Bills red helmets.

I learned of the Bananas today as I sat on the couch rooting through the huge pile of various banana-flavored candies my girlfriend gave my for Valentine's Day... needless to say, a hat has been pre-ordered.

The white helmet feels so empty... I don't know if it feels too gimmicky, but I love how this black helmet (ideally with no stripe at all) showcases the simplicity of the tweaked logo: Of course, Nike-fied "blackout" uniforms would surely follow

I looked into Nike knock-offs and it seems like they're made better than their former Reebok knockoff counterparts... that being said, you can routinely buy legit game-worn jerseys of obscure 90's players on eBay that fit like a glove for less than the price of a legit Nike replica. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Chelios as a Thrasher wins so far... so strange seeing such an old school player in such a clumsily modern uniform

How's this for an unpopular opinion - Denver shouldn't have ditched the toilet bowl collars. It matched the side panels so well that, if I didn't know better, I'd swear it was done on purpose. Their current collars are cartoonish and would be better off neutralized altogether a la Indy or Pittsburgh.

I was born in '98, so to me these are the correct uniforms for Drew. IIRC, that picture is from the AFC Championship in '01, which is the last time he saw playing time as a Patriot. I strongly believe Bledsoe would have led the Pats to the title had they chosen him to start over Brady two weeks later.
