That's just my opinion. I happen to think the blue over blue (where you can see the elements shift from yellow to white and back to yellow) and the bone over bone with blue socks (where we get a continuous yellow/white pattern from knee to the shoulder) look good. Again. This is my personal opinion. The combinations I don't like is the bone over yellow and the bone over blue which don't mesh well because they were never intended to be worn together.

Well to be honest, I'm not desperate for a Rams redo myself. I can see what this was supposed to look like and I think it's turned out better than it seemed in spring 2020. For example, the two original primary looks, when worn as intended, are quite good. And this has worked out quite well indeed.

Another small detail on the helmet is how the horns are pushed outward from the centerline and curl back more pronounced from roots. Compare that to the old horns which would interfere with the flex panel on the front of the helmet. Naturally this isn't an issue if you go old school and just paint the horns on.

Standard helmets for the Bears in practice today. Would expect traditional navy over white Sunday. https://www.instagram.com/p/C0h8LWmsu2b/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Compare with 2022 when they wore the throwback helmet stripes in practice. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci0QwWzMlir/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

France has actually used two shades of blue for the tricolor for decades. Hasn't stopped people singing La Marseillasie.

No I meant an all white/navy very of the 70's-90's uniform with the team continuing to wear the throwbacks at home. Imagine the mustard color rush uniform but with gold swapped out for white on the jersey/pants and helmet (plus white facemask).

I also think that in 2020, had the Rams trotted out a road jersey that was a copy of the royal throwback but with white and navy only and changed nothing else about what they wore in 2019, this board would've exploded with applause.

Inconsistent striping isn't a deal breaker in itself. The gold stripe was always more or less fixed as was the blue sleeve. What shifted was the present or lack of a white stripe on the sleeve after the gold. I think by 2019, the set up the rams had settled into of white/navy on the road and 70's-90's at home had turned out pretty well. A couple of tweaks like removing gold could've kept that dynamic intact. I genuinely miss the white horns paired with a white facemask.

With three home games remaining for the Bears, they're likely to wear their 1936 throwback for one of them and I would say there's a strong possibility of that game being this weekend against the Lions. We'll know for sure if the stripes change on the helmets for practice this week.

Cowboys should be metallic blue, not true silver. Like the old gumball helmets. I don't think they're far off now. I think they had it down more or less in the 90's.

Do you have an article to share about that? Or at least more details? Sounds like a really interesting story.

Seeing these Seahawks uniforms is like running into your first crush after a long time and seeing he/she/they still have it.

I'm talking about the blue bolt outlined in yellow compared to the yellow bolt outlined in blue. It's unique to the Los Angeles era of the Chargers. The powder blue was really a San Diego thing. I think if you paired that helmet and jersey with white pants, that could really mark the break with the San Diego era.

There's an argument to be made that this look for the Chargers is the true LA Chargers.

A different stripe (or even no stripe) and we're all singing a different tune on here.

Yep, this is most probable. Interestingly, in the early 60's, when the Cowboys were wearing those white helmets and contrasting sleeves, the Washington football team wore some gold pants on the road.

Since the evening game was added in 2006, we've had at least one team go mono/Color Rush 9 out of 17 times. The home team has gone Color Rush now for three seasons straight in the evening game.

At this point, the Seahawks in action green kinda is their traditional vibe. It's their thing. Until this year, we hadn't seen the royal and silver look for two decades.

We kinda got this matchup in 2008:

Wasn't my favorite but I did think there was a place for this:

The Texans taking over the 80-90's Bills niche of being the red helmet, blue jersey, white pants team.

Bears would need to break out these helmets:

I like it? I think I like it.

The way the board reacts to the promotional use of "icy..."

Minor quibble, I like the setup as it exists now. I like the white jersey having only black stripes and the white/black only pants match that very well. I could see tweaking the orange/black striped pants in a way to more appropriately tie into the black jersey but it's something I'm cool living with. My only quibble is the tendency to over mix. The black/white only pants should only go with the white jersey (though there's an argument for the orange jersey as well). Use the orange forward pants with the black jersey. I like the black pants on the road with the white socks, not orange. For the home set, I like the idea of black being the "normal" color socks with the orange ones coming out for "big games." I like both of these. Just pick one and stick with it. Don't care which.
