So the Nuggets will only look half way decent for 1 of a potential 7 games.

The Eagles never needed to add the charcoal. It just muddies things up.

I always hated the original midnight green as a color. It's a little better since Nike took over since it's on the bluer side. But that's probably they're color as long as Lurie is around. They'll just double dip with the kelly alts.

Those old unis remind me of how much I use to crush it on NCAA 14? Using them. Pat White/Steve Slayton combo was unstoppable 

Pat White and Steve Slaton had to be like NCAA 07 or 08.

I actually kinda like what the Rays did. It's fun and kitschy. I probably would have filled in the wordmark and number with a color, but otherwise it's one of the better city connects. (White Sox, Marlins)

The merch is awesome and I might grab a hat.

The highlighter yellow pants again. Errrr. It looks somewhat golden now, but geez. Also, their 1973-1999 classic uniforms were better. I wish they modernized those instead of going into a gradient direction.

I could live with the banana yellow for the Rams. Just fix the helmet horn and get rid of the gradient numbers and they're a fine modern update. Oh and burn everything 'bone'

Sums it up nicely.

 

 

Honestly if they just throw out the blue pants, orange socks and white helmets it would go a long way.

Maybe it’s too soon to be asking this now, but who’s on the shortlist of teams who need a uniform overhaul now that the Bengals, Cardinals, and Broncos have all updated their looks?

 

I elect the Jaguars and Commanders. 

Titans and Commanders

New uni rankings:

1. Jets

-Really solid set. I don't even hate the BFBS uniform. Just please never wear black pants with any other jersey.

2. Lions

-They might have been #1 if they put stripes on the blue, white and black pants. And I'm sure they're wear mono-white far too often. I actually like their BFBS as well.

3. Texans

-Could be better could be worse, lateral move to slight downgrade.

4. Broncos

-Could have been a lot worse but again not great and too many gimmicks. Throwback is sexy.

Saw this on their website-

 

UPDATED DEEP STEEL BLUE COLOR MATCHES ORIGINAL DEEP STEEL BLUE UNVEILED IN 2000

This doesn't look as bad. Maybe it's just the 7 and 3 that weigh the whole thing down.

I don't hate the Texans set, but it's a definite downgrade, lateral move at best.

It's better than the worst of the Nike sets: Titans, Jags, Bucs, Browns, Rams bone, etc.

-The home is definitely the best of the bunch.

-The font drags the whole set down.

-I actually kinda like the horn helmet.

-Mono-red sucks please wear that with blue or white pants. (they won't)

-The H-Town jersey is unnecessary and just a way to force the Oiler blue in. Not a fan of the H logo either. If you're gonna do it swap the red and blue.

-And finally, why do teams hate contrasting socks?

Not every team needs to look exactly the same as they did 50 years ago at all times. Especially for a team like the Broncos whose greatest success has come in modern uniforms.

They could have used the color rush with white pants and made a blue and white counterpart and knocked this out of the park. It would have split the two eras nicely and been a great modern classic. You could have even kept the current logo over the D.

But instead they needed to tell us for the million time in a sports uniform that Colorado has mountains and Denver is 5280 feet above sea level. Just like the Rockies and Nuggets have done before. At least the Rockies are actually named after the mountains. This is for a team called the Broncos.

Again, not everything needs to be a throwback, and I don't hate these, probably a mid-tier Nike-redeseign, but not every sports uniform needs a gimmick. Uniforms now a days are designed to have a shelf life.

I honestly rather the NFL have a City 4th alt that changes every 3 years or something like the NBA/MLB does than these that get designed to become outdated in 5-10 years..

Our lord & savior gets it.

True, but if you can't come up with anything as good or better and keep trotting out gimmicky crap, then just give us the throwback uniform.

After seeing all of the Broncos' combos any combo with the white helmet, especially the navy jerseys, just doesn't look like the Broncos and gives off like a UTSA vibe.

I actually don't hate the Broncos uniforms. The helmet stripe sucks and the pants stripes look unfinished (but at least there is stripes, LIONS!) but they coulda been a lot worse.

As for that Vikings leak. God I hope it's not true, what a pointless alternate. The gray stripes make them look like Kansas State, the spikes/icicles on the numbers suck, and why the NOB font wordmark? If they wanted to add a white helmet, so be it, just wear it with the regular unis and call it color rush like the Panthers do it.

Those Lions leaks are a really nice upgrade. Of course the black jersey is unnecessary but definitely better than the anthracite pajamas and should look nice with blue helmet (and blue pants).

Let's just hope they don't have black pants and the other 3 pants colors all have stripes.

Jacksonville, Cleveland, Tampa and now NYJ have all backtracked a Nike redesign. Miami only adjusted the numbers on their Nike set. Otherwise Minnesota, Seattle, Atlanta, New England, Rams, Chargers, Cardinals and WFT all have kept their designs since getting them.

Can add Detroit to the backtracked list as well.

FWIW though the Falcons, Chargers, Rams, Patriots, Cardinals and Commies are all too soon to backtrack. 2024 will be year 5 for ATL, NE, and the LA teams, year 3 for Wash and year 2 for ARZ.

(Titans have also kept theirs)

I like the jersey. If it were paired with white pants it'd be great. But they'll probably do something funky with them instead. 

It'll be fine if the pants match the jersey, especially since it's gray. But I'm sure they'll be black which Nike has loved to do with most of the city connects. After seeing them on field I noticed the Phillies pants are also black. Thought they were navy initially.

The NHL already has too many teams. Brining back the Coyotes and Thrashers or putting a team in Kansas City would be stupid.

Sucks to see the Yotes (and their gorgeous logo and uniforms go). I'm sure whatever Utah comes up with will be horrible especially if it's anything like what Smith did with the Jazz.

The Phillies hat seems to be getting a positive reception, but from what I can tell, mostly because people think it looks like a Union hat. 

Cut the pants above the knees and the whole thing looks like a Union kit.

wrong thread

Yes, the original "rules" for Color Rush uniforms was that teams could use a color that was historical to the franchise... which is why the Jets' Color Rush is kelly green back when their main uniform was that ugly dark nike green.  The Chargers' two rather pointless alternates  were coat-tailing on Color Rush when they debuted them. 

 

But that doesn't help the Texans to shoe horn in light blue, since that isn't historical to the team. 

 

My guess is they will have very little trouble finding some small (but still annoying) way to slip some light blue onto the primary road uniform as an excuse to have a light blue alt. It's the reason we got stuck with such an ugly disconnect between the Commies' home and road.  The 49ers once made an all black uniform based on (presumably) the small trim on the helmet logo, and the Colts pulled it off just by making the Nike logo black on the road jersey only.

 

 

 

 

We are truly in the worst timeline for NFL uniforms. (Although, one look at the NBA will tell you it could get even worse.)

Thats probably what they wind up doing. The Nike logos will be columbia blue on the homes or something. 

The names and numbers on some of the nike teams are hilariously small. Looks like they got to CBB before the MLB.

It looks especially hilarious on someone as big as Zach Edey.

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.

The new Clippers logo still looks more like a cruise ship than a clipper ship. I feel like if you look at it from the side view it will have the Dolphins logo on it.
