    Agreed, we're looking at 2023 at minimum for any Detroit changes.

    If all Detroit did was remove the “WCF” patch and maybe had a number font change, would they still need to wait an extra year? It’s not a total uniform overhaul. Just some minor fixes.

    I can't ignore the dumbest looking helmet in NFL history because it was the biggest part of the whole uniform. Also, the logo was and continues to be a PROBLEM.

    I don’t understand the hate this logo gets. 10x better and a significant upgrade over its predecessor.

    I feel like the Jags' two toned helmet distracted you from noticing how horrible the entire uniform was.  Even with the current helmet that uniform is a disaster. The big blocky pants panels alone make it a D+.

    Out of curiosity, how exactly is it a disaster in your opinion?

    Really?    I feel there's got to be someone else that wins that prize?  Maybe Darrell Green or John Riggins, just off of the top of my head.

    That said, I know that's not the point.  The real point, and it is clear and obvious, is that the WFT threw this together on the spur of the moment to create a smoke screen.

    As a Washington fan, I can 100% confirm that within the fan base, Sean Taylor is completely fetishized.

     

    IMO, it’s embarrassing when the team has had all this talent in their history, but fans choose to settle on a player who (unfortunately) never got to grow into his full potential.

     

    I get it. Sean Taylor was one hell of a player. However, I still strongly believe 21 shouldn’t have been retired, but instead given to players who best exemplified the character that Taylor held on the field.

     

    The funny but sad part about the 21 retirement is that the family was gifted a framed NIKE jersey. It’s literally the same thing Landon Collins was gifted when he got denied access by the team to wear 21. There was nothing special or heartfelt about the entire situation. It was strictly business to the team.

    Yeah, there was nothing sentimental about this. The most beloved player in team history used purely as an effort to distract fans from the on going investigations into the team.

     

    There’s also widely despised, egotistical, dancing maniac, brother of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, Jackson dancing on the 21 Tribute. He has since issued an apology, but I also don’t know if I should hate him even more for this or if I should question the team’s decision to allow VIPs to stand in that section.

    By that logic everything that has had the same uniform since the 90’s is in “generic catalog garbage”. It isn’t a catalog uniform when it is the original that it is based off of.

    Not necessarily. I don’t consider the Panthers catalog garbage. Green Bay on the other hand is just overtly bland. It might just be the team’s refusal to go fully Nike material with their jerseys. There’s nothing about the uniform that gives me any amount of serotonin. The only thing that came close to it was the inclusion of white pants for color rush.

    That would look a lot better with a matte or even satin helmet.  I'm not sure if it's even possible to match that specific color across mediums, but having a flat finish on the lid might at least make it closer.

    It reminds me of the situation Minnesota encountered a couple seasons ago.

    In their case, it’s still the same finish, but at least it shows something like a slight color change would be possible to accommodate the rest of the uniform.

    Yep poor photo shop, doesn’t even include the teal cuffs.

    Which I’m sure damn near everyone would be willing to drop in favor of teal number outlines

    Can we just like take the average of the last Jags' set and the current one and call it a day? One is too complicated, the other too simple. Find the middle ground, please. 

    Current Helmet

    Previous Jerseys (probably unpopular opinion, but I liked them)

    New Pants with proper striping

    He's not in the game, so he shouldn't be in the game. Doesn't really need to be more than that. Presumably they'll add in his replacement at some point?

    You’re right. HE’s not. We’re talking about a number. I’m a Washington fan 100% and Taylor was an incredible player for the team, but I still deny the sentiment that his number should be retired. He (sadly) wasn’t able to accomplish enough in his very short career to justify a removal of number in circulation or number retirement
