    Loved the Kansas State lavender uniforms from a few years back. Would really love a team to own lavender as a color.

    Too much machismo in sports. Nobody in Big 4 will touch pink even for trim (except in October and on Mother’s Day). Most teams that use some form of the color yellow are afraid to use the word. People are obsessed with black making them look tough/intimidating/fast. Ironic that they’re so macho and they play sports, but nobody in the corporatized Big 4 has the BALLS to go with that kind of color. Because God forbid a 12-year-old online says their uniforms look girly.

    Add some chartreuse to that to really make it "pop". 😃

    The colorway would resemble something like this:

    The "source" of this rumor has already been discussed, BUT...to be completely honest, I can completely see the Broncos switching over to a white primary helmet. (In fact, I bet that "snowcapped" alternate was just a test run to see how it'd be received by the public.) To be entirely honest, I wouldn't hate it; it's just that the white horsehead would dang near get lost on a white background (yeah I know it has the orange mane and navy blue keyline, but still). All that to the side, to me anyway, white/orange/white would look pretty dang snazzy for Denver. (Talking about the color order, not the details within it.) But that's just my two rusted Lincolns on the matter. Oh and if, for some reason, white primary helmets do appear, direct all blame and vitriol straight at the NFL Properties offices in New York City...they are the ones who dictate team helmet colors.

     

    I can also see "mountain-striped" sleeve caps becoming a thing just because of course can be a thing.

     

     

    I've never cared for the half-italic numbers, either, but I feel they had something really going with the focus on honolulu blue and silver--until they started adding plain white pants to the mix. That same uniform set, minus the white pants--except we all know some variant of those is coming with the next set because ICY--and the unnecessary darker gray, would have made for a modern classic, if they could just keep it to blue and silver. But they won't, and I'm pessimistically curious (that ain't a word; I just made it up) as to what kind of numbers they came up with.

     

     

    Are we sure?

    Seemed to work well enough for me! (Then again you may have been coming at that from a different angle that I also may have missed...)

     

     

    I go back and forth on this. On the one hand, I think a teal helmet would look pretty slick...well, I know it would becausre there are plenty of concept teal helmets out there already. That said, here's how it'd look with the former uniform set:

    As one can see, it's the flat texture here. (I'd be cool with gloss, also, as will be seen below.) Imagine that with teal pants, for a teal/black/teal look and a teal/white/teal away look.

     

    Coastal Carolina gave us an idea of how that could look a couple seasons ago:

    I'm all for anything that amps up the teal in Jacksonville. But they'd have to be smart about it...or at least distinctive, which their current uniform set is most certainly not.

    Well, I mean in the current set the silver numbers on the blue jersey don’t work. But the current (not Thanksgiving throwback) numbers also have silver outlines, right? And an italic font?

     

    Block font, no outlining whatsoever, silver numbers on Honolulu blue jersey can work. But we all know that will never be any more than a throwback, at least in the near future. 
     

    Also, very little about the current NFL is smart or distinctive; it isn’t just JAX. Monochrome, strapless pants, plain white socks, teams basically copying one another’s looks in an aesthetic race to the bottom…

    Given that the account in question on that Browns facemask lists themself as a parody in their bio, I'm going to assume there is no orange facemask. 

    I guess April 1 came early this year.

    Take this with a grain of salt...

     

    I hope that, if this is true, it is only for certain games and not full-time. It might be kind of cool for the Browns to match their facemasks to their pants. 
     

    If they are trying to switch to orange facemasks full-time, then that simply proves that Browns still gonna Browns.

    Just was at local store and they had the Broncos Draft hat with the new logo. The side patch says "Broncos Country" with the state flag. Here it is on a standard hat too to see it without the details in the draft cap. 

     

    Broncos logo

    That link no longer works, but I will say this:

     

    1. I wouldn’t worry about the “Broncos Country” with the state flag on the side. Every hat has a detail specific to the team and most of them appear to be old, or rarely used, or even unique to the hat. 
     

    2. It does appear, at least to my eyes, to have a new outline around the logo, but the outline color varies based on the background color, rather than remaining constant.

    2024 Helmet updates-

     

    New Primary Helmet

    * Browns (likely white facemask)

    * Jets

    * Broncos

    * Lions

    * Texans (image leaked of new uniforms showed a metallic/sparkle blue helmet rather than the flat blue they used to use)

     

     

    New Alternate Helmet

    * Jaguars

    * Ravens

    * Vikings

    * Giants

    * Packers

    * Jets

    * Lions

    * Texans

    * Broncos

     

    Let the guessing games begin!! 

    Jets have a new alternate? So either a black helmet with the classic script, or a white throwback. Either way it is an upgrade on the black helmet from the past couple years, just as the green with the classic script is an upgrade on the green from recent years. That’s a win!

    On one hand: Every team's draft hat has some sort of dropshadow.

     

    On the other hand: That ice blue is on the side state flag logo as well. 
     

    On, somehow, a third hand: Didn't the team say the colors were remaining the same? 
     

    So who knows. 

    Insert GIF of a third hand slapping Frank Drebin from the second Naked Gun movie.

    This might end up being a case of "careful what you wish for," but I'm kind of ready for a new Lions set. I have never really loved this current set, even when they use the right combos. Not a fan of the slanted numbers. I also want more white involved in the color scheme instead of primarily gray/silver with the Honolulu blue. If you look at the balance that the Barry Sanders era had, I think the white numbers and inner pant stripe really helped with that. 

    I actually am perhaps a TINY bit more fond of the set from part of Billy Sims’ career, where they had silver numbers but with a white outline. I agree that silver numbers with no outline don’t work well on a Honolulu blue jersey.

    The Jazz want to "own" a color...

    but they want to give the fans their purple back...

    but they want to be  ahead of the trends...

    but they want a clean and simplified palette.

    Lavender and black is right there, being very patient and waiting to be picked.

    How about lavender and dark purple? And maybe a medium blue for trim?

    Supposedly a Jazz beat writer has said that the Jazz will not be bringing back yellow next year. If the 5 year rule is legit I would assume this means the black becomes the icon. 
     

    However the beat writer said the rumors are that it will be a mountain jersey presumably in black, purple and white (yay kings)

    C’mon, Jazz. Just drop the black. Purple, sky blue, copper. If you absolutely must have a neutral trim color, go with silver. Not every scheme needs black in it.

    "We're disrespecting our past while also dishonoring our future." Actually, that's what the half-gradient-helmet Jags set did.

    Those disrespected and dishonored everyone on earth with halfway-decent taste. Even the players hated them.

    Put those red socks and shoes with the gradient jersey and black pants, and that alt would at least have had some balance to it. Still would’ve been unnecessary though.

    I always the Hawks should go with Red and Yellow (i.e. Chiefs) and the Rockets should go with Red and Gold (or Double Red and Gold) (i.e. 49ers). Something like this for the Rockets (plug included).

    Googled this also -- It was Eric Dickerson who opted out of TSB, partly because of the truncated name. I knew that story had applied to someone. Just assumed Cunningham because of his lengthy name

    That makes sense. “Cunning” is a pretty positive description, but I could see someone not wanting to be called “Dickers”.

    The purple and bone is a good look

    If you’re going to use cream, I think you need a dark color with it. Maroon/crimson is my favorite partner for off-white, but purple, navy blue, forest green, brown, burnt orange, and even black can work.

    Nice work... except didn't the Browns have Bernie?

    Bernie was “QB BROWNS” in Tecmo Super Bowl. 
     

    That was still an incredible  game for its time though. Unlike the earlier Tecmo Bowl, it had all (at the time) 28 teams, with official names and helmet logos. It also had real players and more or less accurate rosters, plus a season mode. And thanks to cleverly designed alternate uniforms, you could always tell the teams apart. Plus it was 11 on 11, and you could sub and shuffle the guys who handled the ball on offense. It was also nicely fast-paced. 
     

    Now let’s look at the NES competition. Tecmo Bowl had 12 teams, real players, no team names, no subs, and fewer players on each side than in real life. NES Play Action Football had eight teams with real players, had subs, was eleven on eleven, and even had a tournament mode…but gameplay was painfully slow, there were no team names, and uniforms were pretty generic. NFL Football had all the teams and their names and helmets, but lacked real players and any non-single-game mode. (Haven’t been able to tell whether or not it had the full eleven to a side.) Plus TSB could simulate games!

     

    Now keep in mind that TSB came out in 1991. The first of the Front Page Sports: Football series for computer (a much more powerful medium than an NES!) wouldn’t come out till the next year…and wouldn’t have real player names until 1993…and wouldn’t have real logos until 1994. Even Madden wouldn’t feature actual player names till what…1993? 
     

    TSB was phenomenal. It was a blast to play and, as a simulator, wasn’t even that far behind 16-bit games (and was ahead in some respects). I wish innovative pro football games hadn’t become a thing of the past with EA’s monopoly on the NFL license.

    Appropriate. 

    He isn’t a zero. He’s whatever the most boring QB number would be. I think of 11, remembering the twilight years of Drew Bledsoe’s career, but Mariota isn’t a sitting duck in the pocket, nor was he anywhere near as good, at his peak, as peak Bledsoe. But I still think of Bledsoe’s time in Dallas for some reason. 
     

    Mariota is a plus runner and a team player. But he doesn’t make many big plays as a passer, and he commits too many turnovers for a game manager. He’s a high-end backup and a low-end starter. But he isn’t a zero.

    Sorry for the TLDR post in advance...but the new Broncos snowcapped/white helmet/5280 rumors are still really flimsy

     

    Jesse Schultz was the guy who posted on the mothership in January, but his comments on the main pages have been deleted. He’s the self described “graphic designer from Ohio that has access to logo slicks”.

     

    Not sure which page on here his initial comments were discussed, but I do know he wasn’t 100% on point. This screen grab here is likely just a rehash of Brady2024’s comments from the Uniwatch article. 

     

    Anon 1: Here’s a leak

    Rando 1: Repeat Anon 1 leak after publication

    Anon 1: See it’s confirmed

    (no it’s not)

     

    Brady2024, who was 100% sure Brady was going to be the Denver QB and a deal was done, now says “the ball is in Tom’s court and the situation is fluid”.

     

    Brady2024 also claimed Tom was definitely going to to be the Broncos QB because you couldn't order a 12 BRADY Broncos jersey from Fanatics/NFL Shop...supposedly because a deal was signed and new jerseys were going to be sold here in March. In January and February, I did spot testing and the only teams you could get 12 BRADY jerseys for were the Buccaneers and the Patriots, but now in late March, you can't even get that. And you can't customize any other team's jersey with 12 BRADY. And if a deal was in place...you know they'd already be selling jerseys I think. 

     

    L-O-L. 

     

    Brady2024 also claimed that the Broncos will let players choose the jersey during the week...and we all know that's not possible. 

     

    That claim sounds so similar to ”I'm a photographer and Russell Wilson is demanding the team to wear all navy and we just took all the photos of the Broncos in all navy” ….six months later…”oh, well these things change, guys, I’m just a photographer”  

     

    Has to be the same guy.  And maybe Brady2024 is "Jessie Schultz"...

     

    The Cardinals’ leak felt more real last year because a) I don’t think any rumor was on reddit and 2) Tru saw the helmet and it matched the unpublished rumor

     

    .

    I’m reminded of a particular variant on the well-traveled “vanishing hitchhiker” folk tale. Set during WWII, it features said hitchhiker, in lieu of paying the beleaguered driver, imparting a pair of predictions before vanishing: “There will be a dead body in your car today, and (the mustachioed fellow running swastika-land) will be dead within six months.”

     

    Pondering these words and the mysterious disappearance of his erstwhile passenger, the driver comes across the scene of a terrible wreck. Ambulances are behind schedule due to (insert reason here) and the hospital is just a mile away; could he transport the most critically injured victim of the crash?

     

    The man agrees, and he takes the injured victim to the hospital, but the poor fellow is pronounced DOA. The driver goes home, shaken by the day’s events but hopeful for the future. 
     

    It isn’t a true story, but it was circulated as such…in, like, 1942. Ultimately the failed-artist-turned-dictator held on till 1945, putting paid to the tale’s veracity. Yet, in the moment, the first part of the prophecy looked to be true.

     

    My point? This fella could be a troll, a gullible guy who thinks he has inside info…or even someone who’s right about one thing and wrong about the other. But the veracity of one statement is ultimately independent from that of the other. Maybe some of what he said turns out to be right and he looks prescient; certainly doesn’t mean a 47-year-old Tom Brady will be exchanging his slippers for cleats. Heck, a broken watch is right twice a day; dude could end up hitting on something due to simple dumb luck. 
     

    For the record, though, I think he is most likely of the same ilk as that weirdo who used to make wild-ass predictions in here. He may even be said weirdo. I don’t think he is privy to a chest of insider information, so I doubt he’s completely correct, but that doesn’t guarantee he’s 100% wrong - just like said hitchhiker, had they been real.

    Well, let’s see…who’s the closest the Broncos have to a franchise player? Probably Pat Surtain, right? Where did he go to college? Take their styling, add a dash of inspiration from Bronco history, and make everything monochrome for ultimate fire and icy emojis. Done.
