^ one of the most overrated, generic looking uniforms in NFL history.
I thought you were going to say "running backs" rather than "uniforms" and I was going to have to bust a cap in your hindquarters...

James Lofton (best known for catching passes with the Packers/Bills) as an LA Raider

Nothing wrong with that - I mean, sure, the Raiders weren't the team he was known for being on, but he was one of the fastest players in the NFL, so it was inevitable that he'd play for Al Davis at some point in time. Didn't he also briefly play for the Rams? That'd be a bit more interesting (although they too were suckers for fast WRs in the '80s - see Flipper Anderson and Henry Ellard).

Nike's version, or versions, of that shade of green the Jets use is horrible. The Packers still use Ripon as their manufacturer so the green is still a nice green
Okay, I did not know that. Thanks. If you look on the official NFL style guides, though, they give the same color coordinates for the Jets' green and the Packers' green, and it's an ugly, muddy shade of brownish-green. Good to see the Packers still have common sense when it comes to uniforms.

Look at RGB values. It's not as pure as it used to be.

Hey, some things from the '90s looked good...just not that.

Unpopular opinions, NFL version:
1. I LOVE the New York Giants' red-heavy road jersey.
2. I think the Bears' throwback (plain navy helmets, navy jerseys with orange numbers, white pants) is one of the best looks in the league, and better than their regular look.
3. I like the Texans' look a little more each year. I used to be quite fond of their red-over-red alternate; now I prefer red-over-white, but they usually look good regardless.
4. I've never much cared for the Bills' old "standing buffalo" logo or its associated uniform set. I think the current "running buffalo" is far superior and don't like when they wear throwbacks.
5. I think the Seahawks have looked pretty good in all three phases of their visual identity.
6. I like the Buccaneers' chrome facemasks and oversized helmet logos.
7. I enjoy the Cowboys' unique silver-green color and, if they were to standardize their colors across the set, I'd prefer they keep it over the regular silver.
8. I like the Panthers in all-black, all-blue, and all-white. Really there's not a whole lot they can do to mess up their look.
9. It bugs me that the Jets and Packers wear the same shade of green, and also that it barely even qualifies as green, it's so brownish and muddy.
10. It bugs me that the Eagles, for so long a green-dominant team, now wear a color that's more blue than green in terms of RGB values.

Some unpopular opinions:
*Pewter is an abomination
*The Florida Panthers' logo change is an awful, awful idea, especially since the unveiled logo is 10 million times worse than the current
*Carolina Panthers in electric blue is way outdated
*Orange numbers for the Browns look much better than white numbers do
*Lions should keep black in color scheme
*Chiefs should add black to color scheme
*I hate the Texans' identity so much that I basically refuse to acknowledge their existence
*Colts need to fix their striping inconsistency
*Pat Patriot was an awful logo, and the Patriots' look right now is almost perfect
*Seattle would've looked much better with their original look/colors if their home jersey was green, not blue
*Rams look good right now
*Lightning look fantastic right now
*Capitals' logo is awful
*Maple Leafs' simple leaf logo (67?-2016) is the best logo they've had
*Sabres in the 90s were fantastic-looking
You've got quite a few there, haven't you? I actually had someone mock me up a green version of the Seahawks' original look, and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't great either. I can see why they made their jersey blue instead of green.
Not really sure how I feel about the Florida Panthers' new logo.

Only meeting ever between those two uniform sets, in 2012. The next meeting this year will have the Jags in their completely different uniform set, and the Lions will be due for a change in the not-too-distant future.
They probably would have updated their logo either way, but I wonder if the Jags would have kept the teal sheen to the helmet, and perhaps some of the uniform design elements, had they had success in that set. It would be great if they had those teal-in-the-sunlight ones still instead of the two-toned abortions they wear now.

Seeing Miketd1's avatar just reminded me of this: I like most chrome-looking football helmets.

I just recently figured out that the original Charlotte Hornets had pinstripes on their jerseys but not on their shorts, and now every time I see a picture of them it drives me crazy.

Charles O. Finley purchases the franchise
Yellow home jersey (replica) and colored skates of the Golden Seals, on display at the International Hockey Hall of Fame
Prior to the 1970–71 season, Charles O. Finley, the flamboyant owner of baseball's Oakland Athletics, purchased the Seals.[3] Finley and Roller Derby boss Jerry Seltzer had both put in a bid on the team. Although Seltzer's offer was slightly better and included a more detailed plan for revival, a majority of NHL owners from the "old establishment" voted in favor of Finley.[4] General manager Bill Torrey left by mid-season due to clashes with Finley.[5]
On October 15, 1970, with the new season already two games old, Finley announced that the team's name was being changed to California Golden Seals[6] ("Bay Area Seals" had been reported the previous week, and appears on some of that year's promotional material), following a number of other marketing gimmicks intended to sell the team to the fans, among them changing the Seals' colors to green and gold to match those of the popular A's. The team's uniform crest was now the word "Seals" in a unique typeface, but an alternate logo using a sketch based on a photo of star player Carol Vadnais was used on marketing materials such as pennants, stickers and team programs. The original 1967 California Seals logo recolored in green and gold was often seen on trading cards and other unofficial material, but was never adopted by the team. The Seals are remembered for wearing white skates, but initially Torrey convinced Finley to use green and gold painted skates instead, as team colored skates were a trend of the period.[5] However, this was all for naught, as the Seals finished with the worst record in the NHL that year. On May 22, 1970, the Seals traded their pick in the first round of the 1971 NHL Amateur Draft to the Montreal Canadiens along with François Lacombe in return for Montreal's first round pick in the 1970 Draft (Seals selected Chris Oddleifson), Ernie Hicke, and cash.[7] As a result of the Seals' dreadful season, the Canadiens had the top pick in the 1971 Draft, and used it to select future Hall of Famer Guy Lafleur. This transaction now ranks as one of the most one-sided deals in NHL history.[8]
Thanks. The green-and-blue one is actually pretty good. That's probably about what the Canucks would look like if they had a green alt.

thank you ,dont care.You do care.
yes I mentioned all the yellow and gold California connection in California sports history in another post.
I forgot the Seals though. They kept the yellow..and being in Northern Cal.,mimicked the A's
I'm not all that familiar with old-school hockey. Did the Seals have green at one time and teal at another? Those two photos clearly have two different uniform colors in them.
Weren't the Seals also owned by Charlie Finley (Athletics' owner) at some point?

The Warriors are an example of something mediocre being elevated, solely due to winning.
The Warriors would be better if they had a yellow jersey and no black/charcoal/grey/sleeved jersey. I think they look pretty good overall right now though. Then again, this thread is "Unpopular Opinions."

The Giants do have gold in their color scheme, LA Kings had yellow in the past, and any color of gold should fall under this because California is the golden state. Also Oakland had yellow in its color scheme for a few years, so it's really only the SAC Kings, LA Dodgers, and you are forgetting SJ Sharks, as the only teams that don't have some form of yellow/gold in their color scheme during any point of their history.
The Giants just added gold as a trim color within the past five seasons. Most of their existence, even in SF, it was not one of their colors. Although perhaps cream-colored home uniforms should count...
The Raiders had gold for, what, one season? Two? It's certainly not associated with them for the casual fan.
The Sharks' dark orange sometime tertiary color could probably count, as it's a gold-ish orange.

Not all. Sacramento Kings, L.A. Kings, Oakland Raiders, L.A. Dodgers, S.F. Giants...heck, the 49ers have metallic gold, not yellow.

They had yellow halos from 1971 to 1992. It helped distinguish them a bit from the other navy & red teams.
They should do red and yellow with navy as tertiary.

This makes me think the Angels should add yellow as a trim color. Yes, Lincecum in an L.A. uniform looks a bit odd, but the overall picture looks kind of cool.

For real. It would've been way cheaper to just tip his servers instead. Then he wouldn't be broke today and he wouldn't have been called "No Tippin' Pippen" in his Bulls days.

I can understand that. Man, that must have been awful. I'm an Ohioan and, while I've never been a Browns fan and in fact live a good 4 hours from Cleveland, I was quite upset about Modell moving them to Baltimore.
