The bi-color stripe is great but neither team uses the classic version. The Rams stripes are asymmetrical and the Eagles are also asymmetrical but with a grey stripe between the two colors.

Going with an Aegean blue color could work well for the Titans given their name and the general Greek vibe going on in Nashville (they have their own Parthenon). Add some bronze like the early 2000's Oilers and they might be onto something. Actually the entire state has a weird Hellenistic thing going on given that everything in Memphis (actually that whole region extending into Southern Illinois) has an Egyptian vibe.

Am I nuts or did the white stripe on the Rams yellow pants look a little wider this year? For comp: 2023 Previous Years:

I'm also cool with the black alts a couple of times a year. That said, I don't need stripes on the red jersey! I just want the bird head logo on the sleeve. I like the concept of the red jersey/pants having no stripes but the white jersey/pants having the silvered striping. The Cardinals have never had striping on their red jerseys (apart from the most recent set). I think rather than the big wordmark, if you rolled with the logo, that would be a good way for it not to be completely plain. Same goes for the pants. Put the logo on the hip, wear them on the road with white socks and you've got another crack jack set.

AHH

Fascinating period in Colts history. They only wore the blue pants for one season but it was also Marshall Faulk's second year in the league, they had an aged but somehow productive Harbaugh at QB, and they were wearing old school black cleats (NOBODY wore black cleats in the mid 90's) inside the RCA Dome with its green concrete surface. And they went to the AFC Title Game against the Steelers. Then Harbaugh leaves, Faulk goes to the Rams, the Colts draft Manning and the team looks completely different. *Addendum, they also added the blue facemasks that season which would persist for the next decade.

Always makes me think about Stratego:

Hear me out.... Silvers match, blues match, numbers match compared to navy jersey.

Non zero possibility there was a paperwork issue.

Let's be honest. The uniform and the delay in changing the name are both tied to one guy and it ain't George Floyd.

I get that and it’s been known for a long time that the Indigenous community has a diversity of opinions which your experiences reflect. There are complicated feelings and I like hearing stories about that. I found your first hand accounts very intriguing. Kerry Byrne, however, ain’t part of that conversation. He’s been on this same thing for close to a decade with the same quack talking points. So there is a conversation, but recognize when a guy is trying to pull a fast one.

Dissenting fine but this is crack pottery and flim flamery. Kerry Byrne, the author, made this same goofy appeal to Tamanend 9 YEARS AGO while a contributor to the Boston Herald. https://www.bostonherald.com/2014/06/25/byrne-(Commanders)-a-tribute-to-popular-chief/ It was bizarre then and it's bizarre now especially because of what happened to Tamanend's Leni Lenape tribe shortly after his passing (spoiler: it was not pretty). There's more to say on this, especially given original owner George Preston Marshall's opinion on other topics, but there's very little credence to be given to a guy who blames an obvious and long overdue move on George Soros.

You see how this is the intended primary combination for the Rams. It's a blue backdrop with all the details from the helmet crown to the toes fading from yellow to white and back to yellow.

By tonight's end, 11 out of 32 team playing this weekend will have worn solid white socks with white pants: \ That's not including any players who wore white socks with white pants on their own accord.

Ownership doesn't like it.

I wasn't really looking for an answer to so much as asking the question as to whether people would prefer the Dolphins switch the colors on their stripes.

I figured but I used the vagueness to open up the discussion to the Dolphins.

Are you talking about the Miami Hurricanes or the Miami Dolphins?

My favorite look from that era. The red over red with the black helmet was great idea. IU hoops get most of the attention but this was a fun way to differentiate the football team. I remember walking into a BIG 10 pride store when I was doing college visits (I think it was at Purdue but I'm not 100% sure) and they had a whole row of collectable helmets with all (then) 11 teams and the black IU helmet was one of them.

Well it does match the orange helmet and I would argue that helmet should have a color balance that leans toward the brown rather than orange. I think it matches the jersey terrifically. Now the pants have a wider brown center stripe but then you mess with the striping proportions on the helmet compared to the non-alternate helmet and I think it's simpler just to roll with the stripes they did. Again, I don't think they messed up at all. I thought it looked really slick. Addendum: This swapped helmet/pant stripe deal is also found in the U.

I loved the white helmet idea but was skeptical on the stripes but I liked it how it looked. I'd consider making it match the pant stripe but that's it. Gets a thumbs up from me.

Halas owned the company he bought the uniforms from… My theory has been that it was based on the Cubs. With whom the Bears shared Wrigley Field and for whom Halas also supplied jerseys in the late 40’s.

It's slender, yet curvaceous. Graceful, yet assertive.

Clarify “dainty.”
