Carolingian Steamroller

I'm increasingly of this opinion as well. It was a clean, efficient design. One bolt on one background across all uniform segments. The bolt type was shaped to fit the designated segment (helmet, shoulders, pants). It's increasingly missed.

So wearing stirrups with 5-7" whites (or gold) with the pants cuffed at the knee. Essentially 1960's tailoring.

Which trend?

The New York Giants should wear their grey five stripe pants for every game, as they did from 2012-2015. It's a unique look, it makes up for wearing an otherwise plain blue home jersey and takes an all white road uniform out of league already saturated with them. Also this was a good look.

I still prefer the Senators name since Ottawa is the capital but it is definitely weirdly used in their scheme. They have a helmeted Roman officer on their primary crest but being an officer in the Roman Army didn't mean you were a Senator. To be a Senator was to be a member of a specific sub set of the Roman Aristocracy which gave the holder the right to a seat in the Senate House to debate legislation and select the magistrates. Senators were selected for top military and government positions like Consul and Praetor but being a Senator didn't make someone a soldier. A Centurion, however, was always a soldier, the officer in charge of a Century of roughly 80 legionaries. So a guy in a helmet was more likely to be a Centurion than a Senator. What I would really like would be for the Senators to come up with a logo similar to this one from the Twins: Ottawa is also a city divided by a River, but its further divided between Ontario and Quebec so it would be really cool to have that emphasized. Perhaps by using two guys in red-lined togas on hockey skates shaking hands.

Yes they should.

You are absolutely correct. This set has quite a few good things going. The colors looks nice and the shoulder yoke and pants design actually work well in tandem. Moreover, the way the uniform has tended to be worn, pairing the pewter pants with a red design with red socks and the white pants with a pewter design with pewter socks meshes incredibly well. Like many of Nike's designs, its a simple case of over-embellishing an otherwise interesting core. Fix the numbers and shrink the helmet logo and they've got a modern classic.

Made a version of it myself.

Actually the cap logo is also a throwback to the pennant in this photo. It's a throwback you wouldn't expect to be a throwback.

I've said this elsewhere but I think the 1976 White Sox uniforms are one of the most genius designs ever to come out of that era. 1: It was a throwback uniform before throwback uniforms 2: It really did emphasis player performance before that became a buzzword. Players who wore it called it the most comfortable they'd ever worn. They even had mesh jerseys for hot days. 3: It solved the white socks color balance issue. 4: It used one piece hose decades before it became standard while still maintaining sock stripes. 5: It introduced the horizontal S-O-X logo and accompanying batterman which Sox fans seem to love. 6: The uniform itself, not the script and not the color scheme were the radical features.

What does it look like?Well there is over 500 templates that I've made, and they look like the ones on the Soccer Section of the main website that I update. http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/1596/_Italy/ http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/1608/_Portugal/ http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/1591/_Germany/ Wow. amazing template work.
