Respectfully, I’m not so sure that Denver are the clear losers. I think it depends on how we look at it.
 

As far as upgrading from their previous set, they are the clear winners. As far as just a standalone uniform, I might declare Houston as the losers. Especially seeing the jerseys up in fan shops, I wouldn’t wanna wear any of those Houston jerseys more than Denver, NYJ, or Detroit, especially.

Denver's are more cohesive across the set. Houston's have the better designs. Depends on which you value more

I feel like I shouldn't, but I like the horn helmets

Always been a big fan of non-logo helmets (Vikings, Bengals, Rams, Eagles)

I actually really like the new home uniform

I... really don't mind these new Broncos uniforms??

Definitely an upgrade from the previous set that had overstayed its welcome. They should've just gone with a modernized version of their throwback, but overall this set isn't bad. A few minor tweaks and this set is pretty darn good

The false word mark throws this off. And you know Nike wouldn't be able to resist adding a bit of yellow into the mix through their maker's mark. I wouldn't read into this.

I have a hard time believing these are legitimate.  That Vikings wordmark is not official and it looks like Nike's generic "BUREAU" font.  And why would they use a differnet jersey number font?  Doesn't add up.

The wordmark in question on the Vikings leak is the same font used on the NOB, and the font is also used by the Vikings in stadium signage, practice facility signage, social media graphics, youtube graphics, and basically in any situation you wouldn't use the wordmark found on the front of the regular jerseys. It's not as outlandish as you would think for that wordmark to possibly be in the mix for a potential alternate

What the  are you talking about? What does Cleveland have to do with this?

 

A sizeable portion of people here wanted them to do the Cleveland Spiders look

I know its BFBS but this looks incredible Blue/Black/Blue/Black

 

If a team is going to insist on doing BFBS, at least make it look good. And I would argue the Lions did exactly that with this set

I haven't quite gotten *that* vibe, but I do think that if the unveiling flops, it'll be because they tried to please too many people at once.

I feel like there will be one good uniform and 3 bad ones, and everybody will question why they didn't just go with the one good one across the board

The jerseys all look great. Could've gone without black, but it looks nice

First pics just posted on Lions Reddit. Silver pants have stripes!

No black and the current logo. Also looks like white is back in the helmet stripe

This looks... promising?

Possible Lions leak. Looks to be the old logo and...

 

Black?

 

Oh no...

 

 

There is so much color saturation in this that idk how we can discern anything other than the jersey is darker than the helmet and pants

The problem with gradient helmets is the execution… 

 

They claimed this was a gradient, but it always just looked like it hard transitioned from black to gold

Unpopular opinion: I don't hate the 3 helmet rule

Alternate helmets can only be paired with alternate jerseys. It doesn't seem like the NFL has any intention of dropping the "3 alternate games per year" rule. So we still will only see alternate looks 3 times a year, with the primary looks still taking up 14 games a year. I think a lot of posters on here are blowing this out of proportion. The NFL is still not allowing mix-and-match with the helmets

Is it controversial to be annoyed when teams wear non-primary uniform for a championship game?  Seems like UConn wearing throwbacks would just breed confusion in the future. Same thing with the nuggets last year and their city uniform. 

UConn's "throwbacks" look modern enough that nobody will be confused. There's a big difference between their throwbacks and an NBA city uniform

Has this board jumped the shark?

We're already talking about negative fan feedback causing a change on a uniform set we haven't even sniffed a leak on yet

I'm curious about the Jets alternate uniforms. If they're using the Sack Exchange jersey template, which only has two colors, will the black jersey have any green anywhere? That's my big question for next week when they reveal their new(ish) uniforms.

I'm curious what element of the regular uniforms or logo will be black to allow the use of a black alternate

Big fan of the new Diamondbacks road hat

Holy we need a uniform leak.

Praying to every deity in existence for some sort of leak this weekend

Might be the lighting, but the Guardians grey jerseys seem to match the pants well

All this talk about the yellow A's jersey, which hasn't been worn since 2018.  The dark green A's jersey was worn as recently as 2021.

The dark green jersey hasn't been an official option since 2021, while the yellow jersey is still technically an official option, even though it hasn't been worn for a longer period of time

I love how that numeral font is just different enough to be "the Reds" on sight without any of the bespoke bullcrap we've seen on so many modified block numerals in the NFL.

 

Now that the "temporary" move to Sacramento is official, my guess on the A's 2025 uniforms is this: No change to the home whites, the road grays get the "Athletics" script across the front instead of "Oakland," the kelly green jerseys get mothballed, and the still-active yellow alts get pulled out of storage. Like everything involving the Fisher A's, the bare minimum will be done.

It's the A's we're talking about. I could see them just dropping the grey and kelly jerseys, and wearing the gold jerseys full time on the road

Are there any recent examples in other pro sports leagues of teams having uniforms literally not available before the season?

Wasn't this a problem with MLB during Covid? I remember supply chain issues kept some teams from having some uniforms

And the Eagles had to wear black for a couple games because Nike couldn't figure out how to make their dark green

Unpopular opinion: I don't care what numbers defensive players wear

Possible Broncos unis based on "all the rumors"

 

If they look like this, they would firmly be "meh". I'd say an upgrade over the outdated previous set, but that's simply by getting rid of the side panels
