What’s the guy with the peanut shaped head and Habsburg jaw suppose to be?

An example of the correct shade of Old Gold, which the Saints refuse to use for anything but numbering and accents on their Color Rush set and, apparently, mascot?

They want to put “M. Jackson V” on the nameplate? Go ahead. Just “Jackson”? Be my guest.

The Jackson Five? Sweet!

77 is not only a Luka number but also a year from where they took that wordmark. Very 70-ish look. Btw they should finally back to blue and green.

The jersey shown would be an excellent starting point for a Mavericks rebrand. Blue and green, retro font and design, pays homage to the team’s history without being a direct throwback. Very sharp.

Same. It’s almost unsuable on iPhone and iPad.  

I once typed up a post as a text message, then copy-pasted it into the box on here, because typing was making the site freeze/crash. (iPhone)

Blue at home, red away is a good look.

 

Throwbacks are better though.

If I could dress the Giants, I’d have them wear the blue throwbacks at home and the current helmet and red-heavy whites on the road. I’m sure some would no doubt switch those around, but they’re my favorite looks for them.

So last night, @teeray01did some uniform sketches with the same template that is used for the MLB: Defunct Saga and I've compiled them here.

 

HOME/ROAD UNIFORMS

 

 

HOME/ROAD/HERITAGE ALTERNATES

 

If anyone is curious on what the heritage alternate uniforms are based on, they're based on this photo of Billy Hamilton (19th century) as a member of the Kansas City Cowboys 

 

I like the pale shade of yellow. It feels very appropriate for a team with an old-timey Western theme. 

That said, the “modern-day” versions of the set are too heavy on the black, and end up looking too much like the Pirates.

Mentally preparing myself for mono-blue in the Super Bowl

The NFC is home this year. Buffalo will probably be iced out.

Put the navy helmet on the old uniform, change the logo to something that isn't a flaming thumbtack. Mix and match the pants, whatever.

 

 

It's not perfect, but it's an identity they could have stuck with for 20+ years, and it's a lot better than their current joke of a uniform.

Silver sword-T would go great on that navy helmet. Just limit silver to tertiary status past that.

It feels silly that they’d go after Gay specifically…

Carl Nassib won’t admit it, but the NFL is still just as homophobic as ever.

“Victory combo” - that aged well.

The Vikings and Dolphins would benefit immensely from using their white socks (which every team has) with their colored pants, like other teams have at least tried.

I dislike the leotard look, but I hate plain white socks even more. If @oldschoolvikings is proposing base-white socks with a purple/white/yellow sock stripe like on the white jersey, I’m 100% for that. Unfortunately, because Nike has apparently decreed that striped socks are uncool, that’s unlikely to happen. In that case, I am begrudgingly okay with the leotard look continuing. The Vikings still have one of the better looks in the league, especially considering it’s a Nike-era design.

Their all-white look does the same thing. The black pants at least breaks up the pajama look and add a little something to give it some pop.

They have worn black socks with white jerseys and pants. Not as often as they should, but I’m almost positive I’ve seen it, and it looked good. 
 

EDIT: Checked Gridiron Uniform Database, and apparently they have never worn white jerseys, white pants, and black socks together with their current set.

I liked it originally when it was dominant powder blue and white with some royal blue and gold accents, but then they wussed out and became another navy/gold team and it was much less fun.

 

I hated the prior Nuggets uniform. Not really rugged, just kind of dull.

The prior Nuggets uniform had an intriguing color scheme that they never properly utilized. Had they brightened either the red or the copper, that by itself would’ve  made it pop a bit better.

Yeah this ugly mix of piping and random panels is what I had in mind when I said I was scared of a Y2K resurgence ahah. To be fair, it's not quite Y2K, though. The real, overbearing and universal turn-of-the-millennium trend was the darkening of pre-existing colour schemes. The piping nonsense came a few years later

Man, I feel you. About the ONLY thing I like about early-aughts fashion is the emphasis on metallic colors and fabrics. 
 

For what it’s worth, adding side panels was already a thing then, as the 1997 Broncos and 2000 Rams updates demonstrate.

I second this wholeheartedly.  The silver helmet with the blue star is such an ingrained part of the Cowboys image that it just feels completely wrong to do away with it . . . even for 1-2 games per year.

I’ve never liked the Cowboys’ white alt helmet. The Cowboys without silver/silver-blue don’t look like the Cowboys to me.

I believe the Cardinals were supposed to open the new stadium that year, but I think there were construction delays.

I visited a relative in Glendale in the spring of 2006, and they were just finishing things up then. The stadium is about a mile or two from his house as the crow flies; one could easily have walked there from his house at the time, and probably still could. The tacky uniforms debuted in 2005, so, yeah, they predate the first game at the stadium.

Miami Marlins City Connect

Since the Cubs got the Marlins’ original red design, I couldn’t help but go with a basic South Beach neon lights theme here.

 

This is what their actual (regular alt) black jersey should look like, if they insist on using black script and numbers on it. I feel like this is a much, much, MUCH better and cleaner version of what they were going for when they slapped it together.

Baltimore Orioles Cooperstown Collection

Although the jersey itself might look a little plain, when paired with black pants and orange-and-black alternating stripes on the socks, like the original Baltimore Orioles (who became the Yankees) did in 1901, it makes for a unique look.

 

Technically the 1901 Orioles were not the originals. There wasn’t unbroken continuity between them and the 1890s powerhouses. Also, I think there was a lesser-known Orioles team before the 1890s one? The history of MLB team names is weird and wonderful.

Everyone complains about teams going all-in on black or white, but then one team is courageous enough to choose a different color for its road uniform and you all pitch a fit.

 

Can't have it both ways, friends.

I don’t have a problem with all-black OR all-white as long as there is contrast from the socks. I loved the Panthers’ all-black look with blue socks. Back when the Colts still wore blue socks full-time, I loved their road look. And the Bills’ all-white would look fantastic if the socks were either solid blue or those gorgeous stripey ones they’ve apparently decided they hate. 
 

My single biggest problem with uniform combos today is the lack of contrast. You can go really heavy with one color, but you need contrast in there SOMEWHERE.

This is the general direction in which I would most like to see the Arizona Cardinals go.

I’m here at the Hall of Fame Game waiting out the lightning delay (for some reason).  I saw the new authentic Commanders helmet on display here. It’s actually amazing how nice that helmet is in person. The finish is beautiful and they showed real restraint with the two color scheme and the single stripe. 

 

Makes it all the more unbelievable how badly they bungled literally every other part of the new uniforms. You could base a pretty nice  identity off of that helmet. And I mean pretty much any of us could. Except them, apparently. 

The organization is a circus owned by noteworthy ass-clown Daniel Snyder. Getting the helmet right was incidental, something you wouldn’t expect but can shrug off as a broken clock being right twice a day. The chances of getting anything else right along with it border on statistical insignificance.

Reminds me of the Memphis Tams of the old ABA. 

 

Who, in turn, remind me of Fat Albert and the Junkyard Gang.

Teams can wear bfbs or all black but it’s so much better when there’s at least one contrasting element.

Panthers all black worked with blue socks.

Eagles bfbs would work with green helmets and either white or green pants, and black socks

 

Jaguars black t shirts with numbers look good with teal yoga pants

And black over purple is one of the ravens best combos 

Panthers in all-black with the blue socks look PHENOMENAL, so of course they’d change to only wearing black socks with that look.

My unpopular opinion is that Bone aside, the Rams uniforms have really grown on me. My only real gripe is the gradient numbers, and they're not even that bad while watching a game

Unpopular opinion time: I have always somewhat liked those gradient numbers. I wouldn’t like them on the white or bone jersey, but on the blue they’re perfectly fine and kind of fun. 
 

I don’t care for the blue pants, and I wish they had a yellow alternate jersey with white pants. And of course the segmented horns are pointless. But those are my only real gripes with their look. It beats the crap out of the drab navy and white that they had been wearing before.

I wonder what the Buccaneers will do the following week vs Seattle in Germany. They probably wear red/pewter or all pewter for that game. 

How about mono-pewter versus mono-navy?
