  1. They're not bad. I was expecting a lot worse. They should have stuck with red numbers though.

     

    I know at least one uniform on this set is going to be terrible. And I bet the Nike logo on the navy jersey will be oiler blue so they can use that in an alternate.

  2. The only change I'd make to the Chargers is putting the bolt on a white background on the powder jersey like the throwbacks had. Always loved that look.

     

    You don't even have to put the blue background on the white jersey and it still works cause then the bolt is against white on both jerseys and the helmets.

  3. I mean Fanatics and Rubin aren't wrong in this one instance, but since everything else they produce is so crappy this was an opportunity to crap on them in the lime light. And because of their history they didn't really do anything to deserve benefit of the doubt when this all started.

  4. They aren't terrible, definitely an upgrade on what they had. The logo is meh (and a bit too much like the Columbus Clippers) but still a huge upgrade over the NBA Live logo and its counterparts.

     

    They remind me of the Twins just with the red and navy swapped. Right down to the similar font.

     

    And I think the red and navy jersey need white outlines around the wordmarks or they might get lost from a distance.

     

    The red is the best of the bunch. And to me I would have swapped the navy and "pacific" blue in the color hierarchy and made the away/icon the latter. But I guess if fans didn't like the black then navy is the next best thing in terms of marketing/merch and stuff and still ties in with blue that they always worn.

    Props to @WSU151 for the info... The following teams appear to have new Alternate helmets coming this year-

     

    * Ravens

    * Vikings

    * Broncos

    * Lions

    * Packers

    * Giants

    * Jets

    * Jaguars

    * Texans

     

    I have to assume the Jets will have a new black helmet to match the new uniforms. Vikings likely white to wear at their whiteout game

     

    As good as the current satin helmet looked with the throwbacks, I think it's more likely they go with the historically accurate helmet than a white one. But then again in todays NFL with icy white head to toe being so kewl it wouldn't surprise if they went with a totally unnecessary white helmet either.

  6. Most of the BP caps are good-to-great. And there's not  really terrible ones. You have everything from fun with the Phillies and Brewers logos to classic with the Cardinals. I even like the pinstripe Marlins (Twins, not so much. Still hate that logo as well).

     

    Favorites have to be the Diamondbacks, Rays, White Sox and A's.

  7. That jersey really looks like something FUBU or someone would have released in the early 2000s.

     

    There's no way of knowing that's a Phillies jersey. There are other city connects where it's hard to tell what team it is at first glance, but this might be the worst offender. Some of these stray way too far from the teams branding.

     

    Like if you do that in team colors or even the throwback colors, it's still bad, but it's at least recognizably the Phillies. I bet most people don't even know it's based off the city flag. It's not like Philadelphia has a known or iconic flag like say Chicago or (I know it's a state) Maryland. It just seems lazy.

  8. Sharks: Love these, the like gradient? stripes work better than I thought they would when it was announced how many stripes there'd be.

     

    Rangers: These are pretty good and probably the best of the 4.

     

    Devils: These are ok, but need white somewhere. Like that there's a waist stripe again.

     

    Flyers: meh, can take it or leave it.

     

    Islanders: This is bad and in a distant 4th place of the Stadium Series' jerseys.

  9. Marlins:

     

    Black jersey: Good. What they should have done from day one.

    Blue jersey: Fantastic.

     

    Nationals:

     

    Road jersey: hugeeeee downgrade. I like the trim, but that wordmark is bad and generic.

    Pullover alt: Atrocious. I don't like anything about it.

  10. Was the Jazz the biggest flop/most tone deaf rebrand of all time?

     

    Even the Buffaslug was at least a return to the classic colors in a way.

     

    Everyone has their personal preference but it seems most would have lived with either: Purple/Green,  update of the 90s mountain set, the red rocks, or continue using the then current colors (navy/green/yellow) and instead they release black and highlighter yellow practice uniforms for whatever reason. ("WE'RE THE BEHIVE STATE AND BEES ARE BLACK AND YELLOW!!11").

     

    The current city jersey with a white counterpart would have nearly been a home run. And if you really wanted black jersey you could have easily had a black Third/Statement.

  11. Not sure if he meant next year or in a few months, but the Broncos owner said this last week:

     

    Quote

    A UNIFORM UPDATE

    While the focus Tuesday centered on the team's on-field performance, Penner also addressed speculation surrounding the Broncos' uniforms. While he said there will be "things coming there in the future," Penner stated the team had no announcement to make regarding the organization's jerseys.

    "Nothing to announce on new uniforms today," Penner said. "That's also been a learning for me. I just figured when you wanted to change your uniforms, you just made a new uniform. But, boy, it's a several-year process with the league and Nike to get there. So we'll be having some things coming there in the future, but nothing to announce today."

    Alright, I guess I'm in the minority, but what's with the hate? At least it's something different. 

     

    I love this jersey other than the numbers on the back. It's unreadable from afar, either make them full neon like the name or fill them in with white. But as someone else said, it's fine alternate but not a primary.

     

    I think the Stars look great now other than the logo. I still don't understand how they couldn't just swap the gold with silver in the previous logo.

    I respect the Vikings for their commitment to the purple pants on the road and their inability to be swayed by the temptations brought about by the snowflake emoji.

     

    Bills Chiefs games look so good when the Bills wear this combo, as do most Bills games.

     

    You're going to be in for a rude awaking Christmas Eve when they wear all white from the neck down, and at home.

     

    I actually like then in white on white, provided they wear purple socks, but they seem to only wear purple socks with the purple pants these days.

  14. I'll take this Marlins set over the 12-19 11 out of 10 times. I hated that look. Too many colors, the logo sucked. The only redeeming thing about it was the orange jersey and they barely wore it. The oranges hats were only worn like once or twice.

     

    Like someone else said, if they just emphasize teal/blue more it would be a big upgrade. The black alternate is atrocious. You can't read it. But the teal BP is beautiful. (Is that even still around?)

     

    Swap black and blue on the home word mark, make the hats blue, drop the black alt and promote the BP. You can even leave the grays as is and you can still sell your black hats. Although I might consider filling the M in white on the hat.

     

    But I'll also take the throwback look or some update of it back in a heartbeat.

     

    The city connect should stay as long as that program still exits. That's probably the best of the city connects, at least top 3, amongst a lot of garbage.
