Apparently the Honey Hunters went bankrupt and the AL kicked them out and expanded a new team. Kind of a weird tactic, and the new team not having a name yet is very Atlantic League. 

 

And speaking of, the Frederick Keys-Spire City Ghost Hounds are on hiatus. I guess it's hard to build a fanbase in question mark jerseys? 

The Keys aren’t on hiatus. Only the Ghost Hounds and it’s not because of the question mark uniforms. It’s some weird reasoning of uneven number of teams in the Atlantic League. They’re set to return in 2025.

I don't think the injury bug is worse this year than normal, but you also have idiots that are trying to say that if they kept the old XFL kickoff players wouldn't be on the injured list. Those injuries would have occurred regardless of the style of kickoff, because those players weren't tackling properly. 

San Antonio’s YouTube Kicker literally admitted he needed to learn how to tackle.

You like the bone pants, but you'd like to see them without stripes . . . ?

The yellow and white stripe on them are pointless and nearly unnoticeable. Plain bone pants or even using a singular wide blue stripe would improve the look.

When the Rams use the above combination, it reminds me of being a throwback like these-

Brings up a good point on attempting to reduce injuries as they’re happening too fast.

That's the joy of opinions.

Mine are that the yellow needs to be toned down, and the fruit rollups need to be peeled off of the numbers. I think the horn was change for the sake of change, but I'm not convinced it's any better or worse than the previous versions.

Agree with all of this. I’m hopeful this change is what happens after this season too. A tone down, not a redo. I’m actually okay with the use of bone pants, but only if they lose the stripes and only gets worn with the blue jersey (which won’t happen and we know it).

I'll be honest, the new Rams set has really grown on me. I think the yellow could be little more athletic gold and less highlighter but the general layout, I kinda like.

It was instantly improved with the addition and promotion of the white jersey.

While we're discussing Green Bay... Don't change a stitch.

 

As much as I hate that team, this is best looking game every single year.

They like having their stuff made by a local company. Honestly, I love that. The Packers are integral in Wisconsin culture down to who makes their uniforms. I hate them, but I also love them.

 

This Vikings fan is conflicted

Wasn’t aware of this. Good stuff.

Or not. Timeless. Classic. Not just marketing speak.

Panthers updated their template. Why can’t Green Bay?

Packers could just join the trend of updating the template only to add faux mesh/perforations to the numbers 

The most entertaining part of the draft is watching the fans in attendance being completely motionless when their favorite team drafts an OL instead of a playmaker.

Trying to imagine what vertical sleeve stripes would look like, and I'm not a fan, especially at the expense of TV numbers. But to each their own.

If we’re talking striping in the same vain as Texas A&M (and to a lesser, crueler degree the Titans), I like that as well. But my caveat would be stopping the stripe at the sleeve, not allowing the stripe onto it. It would still allow the use of TV numbers.

For the Packers, the only thing I'd change is to lose the TV number and run the stripes vertically from collar to cuff.    Same goes for almost any team that has a notable striping pattern but who's stripes are relegated to just a small portion of the sleeve cap.

 

The Packers font is perfect - especially the 5s, which is what we wore in high school.  While I feel that the Steelers look better with the Futura font, I don't think the Packers should change a thing in that regard.

 

Vertical sleeve stripes and striped socks (though that horse died a long time ago) is all I'd consider changing.

 

Adding blue as an accent color to the current unis is one of those suggestions that would make me alert the mods that a user is posting under the influence and should be drug tested immediately.  How would blue fit in with their identity as an accent?  

I originally was going to say the Packers could benefit from UCLA stripes.

As for blue— number outlines, adjust the striping to allow blue and green to coexist on the away jersey, develop a third blue jersey.

Fair enough. What would you change and why?

In short?

For the Packers— maybe a different font (both wordmark and number), adding blue as an accent color, simplifying the sleeve stripe

I’m not a huge fan of the stencil wordmark and never will be. I wouldn’t drastically change the number font, but I’d at least modify it. I think that adding blue would be a nice touch to at least acknowledge the team’s past in a way that isn’t just throwback uniforms. As far as the sleeve stripes go, removing the green from the home sleeve stripe and the white from the away sleeve stripe.

Because they need it.

Packers are in a "If it ain't broke don't fix it" situation.

 

I don't think their uniforms are particularly amazing, but they are timeless and you don't want to throw that away.

Eh, there’s things that could be changed. Same with Pittsburgh.

Packers could use both green and blue. It’s doable.

All this does is muddy up the look. They should never mess with their helmet unless it's an alternate or throwback.

 

If there's going to be an alternate helmet for the Raiders then it should just be all black, in fact I feel like if the Raiders ever hop on the bandwagon of alternates then they should just have a reverse of their helmet and pants, nothing else needs to be done. It's a controversial issue with Raiders fans but I think it could work.

 

This doesn’t make any sense. If anything, that muddles up the entire look. A simple change to a black facemask would be harmless to the Raiders brand compared to all black from head-to-toe.

Someone say best uniform in the NFL?

 

If the Raiders switch to a black facemask, we have a deal.

Say what you will about these uniforms, but you can't discount how beautiful that Super Bowl was aesthetically. 

 

Both uniforms have glaring flaws. 
 

• Rams highlighter yellow pants

• Bengals not using black on the pants correctly

I'd say it's a tie. The Color Rash for the Browns is so plain and generic that if you count it in the overall rating it drops the Browns to a C instead of a B+. 

 

I’ll even throw in the Buccaneers as Top 3 candidate. They have a pretty solid set. Even with the all pewter. It’s not even a heinous uniform. The only issue is it lacks orange which will hopefully get fixed for next season.

(I do however want them to use a black(?) textured helmet just like Ohio State in 2016 as their second alt helmet)

I used to think the Bears had the best uniforms in the NFL, but now I firmly believe it’s the Browns.
