Carolingian Steamroller

Ebbets Field Flannels remains unbeaten.

You'll just have to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and Empire strikes back to back until it clicks.

I once read that Gritty so successfully embodied Philadelphia because it somehow seemed to nail the idea of Chaotic Good on the matrix. Not sure where the Phanatic falls in. He'll pull down your pants but he won't eat the rich, is that Neutral Good?

You know I thought so at first too but now, especially given the Browns employ the knicker looks elsewhere, I think that added too much orange. Going with the brown socks conveys that this is a true curveball look for the team. Anyways, I liked it, would be nice if it came back.

Wore the mono brown look three times in 2022. I miss the stripes. Always felt this had some merit.

Same. You don't deserve this Dick. You're such a better man.

Is Dijon or honey mustard a good call on a burger or is yellow pretty much the only way to go? *Assuming you are putting mustard and ketchup on a burger so don't @ me with quips like "Special Sauce!" or "No mustard!" or "Mayo!"*

Eh, a little late given how long it takes for the design process to work its way through. I think a white helmet is more likely.

My Chicago Bears haven't worn white over white for 15 years because the last time they did they got embarrassed by the Packers in Jay Cutler's first game (and Brian Urlacher was lost for the season).

Most of the Lions' history is TERRIBLE. Having a sense of history would only bring revulsion and self-loathing. Part of what Dan Campbell and his team have done is erase a lot of that history. They've won a lot of big games in the all whites, starting with the one in Green Bay at the end of 2022 which really kicked their present run into high gear. If they win on Sunday, I promise the all-whites will become a classic that people will clamor for in 20 years.

Roger Goodell doesn't have goons. Let it go.

NFL can't dictate pant selection to teams. The times when the NFL granted dispensation for a different uniform is when there was a jersey change. It's not a dictatorship. Lions are 4-1 in the all whites. It's the same reason the Niners wore throwbacks in the 94 playoffs.

I think the choice to go single color on the lettering drove the choice to remove the sleeve stripes. Having the stripes on the sleeves makes less sense with plain letters since the striping would then be the only white on the jersey. It also jibes with the pre-double look for the Yankees. My guess is that either the Yankees just really liked the Field of Dreams look or the new lettering favors single layer scripts. The decision on the stripes then proceeded from there.

Something interesting to me about the new Yankees road jersey is that they got rid of the sleeve stripes at the exact time the template switched back to elastic inserts at the cuff. The Yanks had been using the elastic insert. Then they switched a few years ago to braided ribbon stitched flat on the sleeve. If you were ever a fan of the original style, now would be an ideal time to let it come back but they just let it drop. Maybe they really did get great feedback on the Field of Dreams Game:

It's not really accurate anymore to say the Namath-era because the Jets wore those uniforms for longer in the 90's and 21st Century than they did in the 60's and 70's. That design breaks down to a contrasting sleeve cap with an added, spaced stripe. I think it's still possible to make it look good. Or at least a version of it. I don't like the idea of trying to combine eras. I think that's how you wind up with nobody feeling satisfied. That being said, I wouldn't complain about a straight return to the Sack Exchange. Fit the current tailoring of the jersey well. Helmet color is great, especially in a division with the Dolphins and Bills wearing white helmets. Maybe add some simple green pants (I always liked the white over green in the 00's design). Definitely use a white collar on the green jersey. People would dig it.

The Jets were wearing the Namath era uniforms just 5 years ago. As much as I like the green helmet Jets (both the NYSE era and the early Parcels years) this to me remains my favorite look of theirs.

God I love that black over purple look from the Ravens. It's so slick.

Ravens should have gone full crazy and brought back the mustard pants.

My hot take is that Mono-Honolulu Blue wo black + Yellow Pants > Honolulu Blue over silver w black + Mono-White

This is easily the best this Rams/Lions matchup has looked in a quarter century.

We haven't seen anything yet and making everything different can and has worked, also the thought is nice so I'll reserve my judgment but I'm reminded of one of Mark Brendanawicz's only funny gags in Parks and Rec. "You ever heard the saying that a camel is a horse designed by a committee?"

I know the red helmet is popular but I LOVED this look.

Awkward sex where one party has a nagging back injury and the other threw out their knee earlier that day.

Mizzou in mono black is a good fit for them too.

See, I loved that look and still think it's superior. The huge block numbers hold it back in my opinion which is why I favor swapping them out for the current rounded numbers. I don't think the color swap has worked so well for the Bears. The sleeve stripes are quite fine. It works on the navy jersey because the orange and white blend together to create a glowing affect. However, that same blending of orange and white when you do the color swap works against the orange jersey because the white outlining blends into the jersey color making the stripes look very, VERY thin indeed. (Ditto for the "C" on the helmet.) That's why I like a thematic connection. The Bears have a jersey with three identical outlined stripes (navy) and one with three alternating solid stripes (white) so have one with three identical solid stripes is the logical missing piece. It's a bonus that it also happens to be a historical design.
