  1. I actually really like what the Diamondbacks did. If we can't have purple and teal back this is the next best thing. And it's not half in half out like the last set. I actually kinda like the D snake *shrug* glad they kept the snake head on the sleeve to. Wonder if that remains on the BP cap. Glad they went with the A on the home jersey.  Black is my favorite of the 4.

     

    I have a few nit picks but otherwise, well done Arizona.

    No. White jersey and black leggings just does not look good. As much as we make fun of all black and all white looks, there are way too many of these combos.

    What makes this worse is that the Panthers, Jets, Ravens (from their color rush), and Jags all have contrasting color socks in their wardrobes too. So there's no reason for this. At least the Eagles wore white socks when they wore the black pants this year.

    It really bugs me how the Panthers have gotten into more mixing-and-matching the past few years. While their uniforms aren’t the greatest, their once default road all-white uniforms were really

    nice looking, especially paired with blue socks. They never needed to be paired with black pants/socks. Some things should really just be left alone.

     

    It’s only a matter of time before they try white jerseys/silver pants…

     

    What pisses me off about the Panthers is when they first debuted the black pants they used to wear blue socks with them and it actually looked somewhat decent. Now it seems they NEVER do it with either jersey.

    With the Lions I'm still wondering how they were ever allowed to wear white pants. They literally don't match with anything, they're just plain white. No design or thought put into them.

     

    For real. If you must have white pants (they didn't) you can't even put stripes on them? It's like the players said "we wanna wear all icy white" and they just ran to Dick's.

     

    Or are stripeless pants cool now and I missed it? Who other than FSU, Notre Dame, Penn St.  and Michigan (and even they put stripes on the white ones and you can argue the navy ones suck) pulls off stripeless pants? (And none are NFL teams) And honestly they probably only do cause it's always been that way. And in FSU/ND/Michigan's case the gold/maize color is able to stand out on its own.

     

    Ravens black pants look like crap, Saints white and black pants look like crap. I'm sure I'm forgetting others.

     

    Waiting for them to wear them with the blue jerseys that feature no white at all. You know that day is coming and it's gonna be mismatched Rams bad.

    Sooo this isn't europe. We don't do soccer here. We do not care about soccer here. We don't do gaped out in-season meaningless tournaments here. 

     

    The soccer tournaments at least involve teams in other leagues. The NBA one makes no sense at all.

    Rockets are calling this logo the "dunkstronaut". Lot of potential here for an official secondary logo one day. They need to drop the R ... there is just so much potential behind a space/earth/rocket logo.spacer.png

     

    I was a little offended by the shade of blue (very Clippers like), but they are staying true to the old UH uniforms:

    Was coming to say, while most of the city uniforms are terrible, I love the dunking astronaut on the Rockets shorts.

  6. Red and Turquoise might be decent enough and split the different between the two eras.

     

    Instead of DBacks or Diamondbacks they have to go with A logo on the chest, IDK why they seem so reluctant to bring that back. You can stick DBacks on one of the alternates if you must.

    I feel like tonight would’ve made way more sense for Minnesota’s throwbacks than a random opening day 1pm game, but I still don’t hate what I’m seeing. The Vikings use this combo very sparingly, so it’s tolerable to see once per season as they generally do.

     

    Agreed. I can live with this ONCE per year. The color rush, though, needs to die and hopefully adding the throwback has finally put it out to pasture.

    I think that was mostly due to Reebok's 2007 obsession with removing hem stripes for no apparent reason. At least Original Six teams (with the exception of the Leafs) were safe from that trend, but it affected like half of the league.

     

    Not to mention the most boring designs I've ever seen, courtesy of Dallas and Edmonton:

    Reebok designed the jersey with the attention of being tucked in which is why they removed hem stripes (ironic cause the NHL banned jersey tucks shortly after) but the O6, sans Leafs, and Devils* (Lou Lam) (I may be forgetting another team or two) told them to go pound sand.

     

     

    *Then Lou leaves and the Devils inexplicably removed their hem stripes for no reason about 10 years after the fact. They were trashed for it and surprisingly haven't gone back yet.

    This is a perfectly fair point. The current look is a cheap imitation of the first Super Bowl look, but I’m totally fine with that because the uniform set they won their first Super Bowl in is my favorite sports uniform of all time. Even a downgraded version of that is still better than the original 70s look that they were awful in, or the entire alarm clock disaster. 
     

    My biggest gripe with the Bucs is that they “modernized” their flag and ship logos. The original flag is just a perfect logo, and again is the reason I’m as big of a Bucs fan as I am, and the reason why I’ve wasted so much of my life on this weird sports logos “hobby”. Both of the “upgraded” logos are enormous downgrades from the original, and is the one thing that was kept from the disastrous alarm clock era,  from which everything should’ve been incinerated and then stomped and spat on.

    I'll be honest, I never even realized there was a difference. The original does look cleaner without all the silver/grey shoehorned in.

     

    The old logo is definitely so much better, I remember when that came out when I was a kid I thought it was so cool and was in Disney world that season and made my parents buy me things with that logo on it at the wide world of sports. 

     

    The old one actually looks like a pirate flag, the new one just looks like 'ask my corporate design team to come up with a pirate flag.' the gray outline is so unnecessary as well.

    I get the nostalgia aspect of the navy helmet, but I just don't see how a mismatched helmet versus jersey is a better look. Give me this anytime.

    This looks so much better aesthetically but for a throwback accuracy sake I prefer the navy. Now if they were to switch to them full time? Royal gloss all the way.

     

    Same goes for the Vikings. I love how the throwback looks with the matte but it kinda bothers me their not using the old deeper purple at the same time.

    The Ducks are breaking out the eggshell uniforms for the first time this year and pairing them with the chrome helmets:

    I actually like the helmet, but the uniform still looks more cookies n cream than eggshell.

  12. RE: Cowboys

     

    I could live with the royal at home, navy on the road, IF, they:

    1. wore the silver pants that go with with the navy uniforms at home and got rid of the gray/silver-blue/seafoam ones and

    2. changed the random and pointless black stripes to navy, which I thought was the color for the longest time to begin with and it pissed me off when I found it was black.

     

    The black stripes and weird pants color were supposedly so the silver and blues looked correct on TV 30-40 years ago, well HD and 4k exist now, so you can fix the colors instead of looking stupid.

     

    Just those two changes and you're not really messing with your "iconic" look, just tweaking it to join us in the 21st century.

    Georgia Tech’s “ghost” uniforms

     

    I just don’t get it. How are these teams doing a better job at being the Saints than the actual Saints?

    Again.. Anytime the Dolphins combo white jerseys w/ aqua pants on the it's a W.

     

    Miami has one of the better modern uniforms we have in the NFL. I feel they way go underappreciated.

     

    Since they dropped the blue outlines the only real problems with the Dolphins uniforms is the logo. Any helmet wearing Dolphin is better than the soulless resort/cruise line/toothpaste one.
