  1. The gray yoke just doesn't work against white. Goes from kitschy and "so bad it's good" to just bad.
  2. I LOVE powder blue. It's my favorite color. From as light as North Carolina to as dark as the Panthers, but powder blue wasn't anybody's team color back then. Some time in the 70s gray fabrics started having this blue tint to them (don't think it was on purpose originally) and by the 80s it was full on powder and most teams road jersey color, so basically acted as a gray jersey. But at the end of the day IDC and am still a sucker for it and buy the merchandise. That said there is a bit of an over saturation of it. Like I don't think the Rangers need/belong in powder blue uniforms. And I don't need the Braves or Cubs bringing them back unless it's a one time deal. Wasn't alive back then, so maybe it's just because these teams were successful in the 80s so I'm used to seeing highlights, but when I think "throwback" and "powder blue" I immediately think of the Royals, Cardinals and Phillies. I love it on the Blue Jays too. And am sort of "ahh I'll allow it" with the Twins and to a lesser extent, Brewers. But that's pretty much it. (I'd add the Expos to this list if they still existed.) *(Not counting the Rays as they came after the fact and made it an actual team color).
  3. I would have had Bucs-Ravens #1 as I love the Ravens purple pants. It helps that they wear black socks with them. The Bills ruined what could have been an easy runaway #1. Also agree that the white socks/white pants trend needs to end. Somehow it's even dumber when teams like the Eagles and Vikings wear them with the dark jersey than with the white. At least with a white jersey they have the "OMG ICY WHITES !!!" excuse, there's zero reason to do it with a color jersey. I think Patrick Peterson was the only Vikings with Purple socks this week,
  4. That white helmet doesn't need to exist at all, but if you're gonna do that AT LEAST wear white pants too.
  5. All the Jags need are number outlines (black or gold, either works) and a pants stripe and they have a great look. Tom Coughlin and Co just went waaayyyy too conservative after the two tone helmet debacle. (And cause Coughlin wanted them to bascially be the Teal/Black Giants.)
  6. This reminds me of changing the date on my PS2 back in the day to holidays to get that presentation in Madden lol.
  7. This is basically what it would have looked like if they went with a color swap alternate instead of the Capitol building jersey back in the day.
  8. There's a lot of really good ones. Panthers, Jets, Penguins and Wild are probably my favorites The Red Wings is the only really terrible one. And the Hurricanes seemed like they missed the 'Retro' part of the memo. Though I'm disappointed in how the Islanders turned out was looking forward to that. And if I can't have eggplant and jade back, then at least give me that as the Ducks' full time jersey.
  9. Oklahoma looks like Washington State.
  10. I think the NFL needs a rule like soccer where teams can't wear the same color pants (unless it's a team with only 1 pants option).
  11. Bonus points for the Big Tymers.
  12. I love tertiary color swap alternates (Carolina and Houston for example) and of course throwbacks. It fits with the brand and is consistent. But it has gotten out of hand in recent years in all sports though. With completely different designs and the like. I'm glad throwbacks are back and I was begging for the one helmet rule to be lifted because of that, but things like Washington, the Saints and Bears, for example having me coming close to oldschoolvikings side of the line. I like the Panthers and Cardinals(and I think white helmets look better with the black alt), but at the same time don't think they need to exist. The NFL just couldn't help themselves and just go back the the pre-2013 helmet rule.
  13. Yep which sacrifices a blue jersey game which I don't think is being worn at all this season now, since they wore it twice in the pre-season.
  14. But the color rush jerseys are just a throwback they once wore that helmet with that they decided to wear white socks with nowadays.
  15. There was no reason for the Giants not to wear the throwback helmets last night.
  16. Love these. Don't mind these, but are they dark gray or black? Either way not really part of the color scheme. These are as good as the Magic's.
  17. Sharks: Love them but I think I would have went with black pants. Just a little bit too much teal for me. Love the fin logos return. Canes alt/throwback: This should be their full time look.
  18. I'll make a statement. These are terrible. And BFBS on top of it. As a one year city jersey they'd be fine, but as a third their awful. Just give us a red jersey already!
  19. Still don't understand why they stopped wearing red socks with the blue pants.
  20. I will definitely be buying a robo-penguin hat.
  21. The whole pre-edge set was amazing. I remember having a white one as a kid soon after they joined the league. http://www.nhluniforms.com/Thrashers/Images/Thrashers05.png
