What a disaster the Nike era of NFL uniform design has been. Is there even one iconic new uniform to emerge? I guess maybe the Chargers?

 

But there have been numerous utter disasters and the most well-received uniforms have been returns to looks that pre-existed Nike like the Browns and Bucs. 

 

It's pretty pathetic when people are happy because Nike didn't totally ruin the Cardinals.

 

Vikings

Chargers

Bengals

Patriots

Seahawks

For your consideration:

 

 

I don't know. It's okay.

I guarantee we see those combinations at some point next year.

So yeah.  That about sums it up.

In seriousness there's a lot to like here.

I think they did a very good job of incorporating silver into the palette. They've used in two spots in particular that I find especially useful:

1. Using it on the numbers on the red jersey numbers gives the impression of plain white numbers while avoiding the plain red jersey design they've traditionally had.

2. Using it on the white jersey/pants means you have Northwestern stripes, which the Cardinals used from 1965-1995, that from a distance look like double stripes that the Cardinals used from 1996-204 and from 1948-1964.

Using the black outlining on the white jersey was a great choice. I'm not crazy about big front marks generally but I at least get that its nice to have something on an otherwise plain jersey (I might have gone with the bird head logo on the sleeves beneath the TV numbers). Helmet looks very nice, solid upgrade there without doing much.

I'm hoping we get some more classic combinations: white over red with white socks, red over white with red socks, white over white with red socks. But then that's a risk with every set nowadays.

Solid job. Should look nice on the field.

It would be totally hilarious if we made it this far and then for some reason, they weren’t able to open the briefcase. The lost the key. 

Get a rock.

So, how are we holding up?

Still think the uniforms are gonna suck, but let's be hopeful.

Hmmm ... why would you say that herring is RED? 

 

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!!!?

Looking for references in the wrong 80’s comedy there. 
 

So many questions that keep coming up like bubbles in a case of club soda. 
 

Is Arizona leaving any clues in their teases?

Will anything leak before the unveiling?

Are they really going with orange and silver or is that red herring?
 

Who is TruColor’s source? And did he lie him?

Or is TruColor lying to us? 
 

And where the hell am I?

That's not a firm target because, as a warm up, Larry Fitzgerald will do a solo performance of the entire HMS Pinafore.

*Makes new thread specifically for Cardinals; immediately discuss 7 non-Cardinal franchises 

The Aristocrats!

This just makes it possible that two threads could melt the site once the uniform is revealed/leaked.

The Buckeye-looking uniforms are someone’s guess…the guy posted on Twitter that it’s just a concept he came up with

 

 

Nobody knows anything at this point. The whole thing is a mystery briefcase.

Its like JJ Abrams wrote the script.

Me, a casual-at-best football fan, watching this thread sell style guides like fugazi Nikes, argue over the words "ochre" and "gamboge," and post the best memes these boards have seen in years

Everyone waiting with their negative feelings...

35+ users on one thread, 30 hours before a leak-less uni reveal, and spiraling out of control. This is great to watch.

This is usually the part of the show when Kermit the Frog has to come out and calm everybody down.

People are either going to love it or hate it or they'll think it's ok.

I feel like the orange is going to be named after one of the types of bright wild flowers in the Sonoran Desert.

You can see a lot of them in the background of the video.

Very nice color.

It’s not metallic, and it’s really not copper.

 

If everything that’s been described to me is true, then we will be getting a unique color palette in sports.

 

There’s really not much Black any longer, and Yellow will only be present in the helmet logo (as before).

The secondary color is in a spectrum only visible to rattlesnakes and the Predator.

No reveal today, but watching the tease and there’s copper everywhere. 

That's just because it contains Marcellus Wallace's soul.
