  1. Eh, the jerseys they’re leaving behind are traditional, but when they wear white socks with (especially) their blue jersey, it still makes me grit my teeth.
  2. I dunno, the fact that the jersey and pant stripes don’t line up is pretty irritating.
  3. Does that mean they *will* wear red uniforms after this season? That would be nice. I like LAC as a red-first team, and they’ve gotten away from that.
  4. Split the difference: I’m calling one good, one meh, and two disasters. Which will be which I don’t know. I bet the horned helmet will be cool though.
  5. They should have The Rolling Stones play the halftime show and call it just that.
  6. Yes. Also any of several Dodgers-Yankees Series since the Dodgers moved to LA. Yankees-Padres, 1998 (although the letters on the Padres’ caps were two different colors). Dodgers and Twins…um, sometime in the sixties, although same color issue as Yankees-Padres. Um…have the Yankees and Cardinals played each other? Would that count? How about the White Sox’ script? Baseball does a lot of interlocking letters in logos. Rather, no football socks. Black ankle socks instead. I hate wearing socks that short - I’m liable to get blisters on my heels or ankles.
  7. Yuck. Why are players allowed to choose their own sock colors? It should be uniform just like jerseys and pants. (Also, red, not white.)
  8. I can’t count how many times my poor parents have had to hear me grumble about plain white socks, or stripeless pants, or team social media posts using the word “icy” or the stupid emoji. Although, in fairness, I’ve never NOT noticed and opined on uniforms, ever since I started watching the NFL at the tail end of the 1993 season.
  9. Please throw the white socks into a fire.
  10. Not to beat a dead horse, but I still don’t get how the league allows that. They fined Jalen Ramsey just a couple years ago for wearing different socks from the rest of the team. How is it they let this happen over and over?
  11. YES! Color blocking is so important and teams just ignore it. I’m all in favor of your proposal.
  12. There’s no unanimous opinion on Jets’ best uniform. My personal favorites are the ‘90s look (New York Sack Exchange plus minimal black trim) and the first few years of the throwback look (1998-2001, I think), before the shade of green was darkened and became unpleasant. But there are plenty who agree with you; plenty who want NYSE; plenty who want 1998-era. Nobody is clamoring for the mismatched greens of the pre-2019 Nike era, and I don’t think anybody would say their current look is their best, and my love for the 1990-97 look is probably rare given how bad they were in it. But everything else is basically on the table for debate.
  13. ‘99 Rams were such an incredible story. I don’t think the Lions can overtake them there, even if they win the whole thing. With the Rams, it was an instant turnaround with a quarterback who had been unheard of, and some of the best uniforms in NFL history. With the Lions, it’s a two-year turnaround (still very impressive!) with a former #1 overall pick at QB (still a nice career redemption) and some of…some of the uniforms in NFL history. (Actually mostly very nice designs that they refuse to wear correctly.)
  14. You know what I wish they’d do? Bring back the purple as a nod to their New Orleans origins, and the baby blue from the mid-aughts since jazz music is based on the blues, plus a nice sky blue seems appropriate for Utah. The cool color scheme complements the mountainous terrain. If they need a warm color for balance, bring back the copper from the Purple Mountains’ Majesty set. For a bit more of a New Orleans flavor, use green as a trim color, or don’t. I still feel like their double-blue from the mid-aughts was a missed opportunity, and the dark blue should instead have been purple (which stayed in that logo anyway).
  15. Cool, now we have two strictly black and white teams. Don’t know why everybody is allergic to actual colors, but it sucks.
  16. Ugh, now I’m reminded that the Vikings like to wear plain white socks.
  17. They’d need striped socks with the green pants. And I’m pretty sure Nike loathes striped socks…and striping in general these days.
  18. You would get the 49ers in their “icy” 1994-1950s fauxback. Be careful what you wish for.
  19. The Falcons had had grey/silver in their color scheme for two decades or more before switching to black helmets in 1990. They actually still list it as a team color today, although they do a crappy job of using it.
  20. mono-lulu! Lol They seem like they want nothing to do with “same old Lions” so probably mocking anyone who would dare assume they’d wear their old combos. At least it isn’t mono-white.
