  1. An issue with the Texans is partially playing in the AFC South against a Teal/Black, a Royal, and a Powder team that insists on navy. There’s so much dark and blue already, the red is an uncontested win for them, and sets them visibly apart from New England. Sad. I mean, this is what I expected from Nike. They don’t have a team brand history being so new, (Oilers exist but sensitive topic), so ideas can go wild. And it feels very commander-y. Pick your favorite top from a glossy printed sleeve cap design, and then we’ll give an unnecessarily more complex number font (I like custom fonts but really liked the current Texans font, don’t know why it needed a switch). Then they throw in plain pants (which I assume will also have in white) and we’ll see an unveiled set that is worn as monochrome a ton.
  2. USA kits look like they’re carrying over the font from the current set (seen on their website. Can’t re-find the pic so very much a “dude trust me” note from me) overall it’s a 9/10 for me, but imo the best set since the 2016 World Cup. The vibrant blue stands out in merch, I think embracing that is the right direction to carry. on the white, either the collar or the sleeve caps should be solid blue. With the shorts complementing so much with the stripes band, there’s just a lot of stripes, and I think it would tie together better. on the blue/red sash kit, I think we can do without the side stripe, it would look more complete if the pattern wasn’t interrupted at all. all that being said, it’s definitely bright and colorful (imo a good thing in international play), easily identifiable & true to brand (not hard to tell which is team USA in a random match), and has a lot of personality without being ridiculous or confusing. I’ll be purchasing one!
  3. This Scorebug is terrible… not a fan of the font choices
  4. The Johnson Legacy 84 is just a show car wrap, and not what will be seen on track. Not sure *why* that’s the case, maybe we cyberbullied Legacy into going back to the drawing board? We know wraps can come together relatively quickly with ongoing sponsorship changes, so a possibility.
  5. All 4 of the cars you presented (for which I agree are all at minimum B+ liveries, don’t aggregate this) feature a decent bit of black on the car. Using it in spots for whatever advantage you come up with is fine! But the whole car doesn’t have to be void of color. F1 (for as long as I can remember) has displayed teams on the scorebug/ticker via a simple box of color. Orange is McLaren, Red is Ferrari, etc. But now it’s not so easily identifiable anymore among many of these teams (especially those without the storied histories).
  6. there’s just way too much black on all the cars on the grid. It’s almost as if there were regulations that said only 30% of a car can be a color other than black, and this is what we got. Red Bull just won all but 1 race in a season, and their car was at least wrapped (very dark, but it was wrapped). Can’t tell me there’s THAT much of a significance in terms of weight/aero that it’s better to not make your car stand out among the grid.
  7. Watching these cars on track, the extra black in certain areas (many have it around the front wheels) is really annoying. Just some funny business with regards to the inspection scanners.
  8. In case anyone needed confirmation, the Philadelphia crowd is not pleased with the City Connects. Nobody gets the origin, nobody has any idea “why” it looks like it does, and it’s got a universal dislike from a visual perspective. Totally missed the mark here (but they didn’t even have to make a city connect!)
  9. Saw some rumblings about the Titans potentially getting a new set next year. It was the first I’ve heard of it. Did I miss a giant chain of messages here or is this some new news? in typical Twitter fashion I can’t retroactively find the post. It was listing out the 5 teams getting new uniforms next year, titans included.
  10. Painted rims are a perfectly simple way to elevate a scheme. We know teams are allowed to mess with them. Penske uses a lighter shade of gray/silver. Not that evident in single car picks but in a crowd shows. I believe it’s Hendrick that has some red accents, mostly only visible during pit stops or on pit road. Not every scheme *needs* them, but some iconic schemes of the past have featured the painted rim.
  11. Maybe unpopular but I think the Rams white uniforms look good in both blue and gold pants… And depending on the opponent, that can really help make a matchup look great. (Ex this week vs SF)
  12. The commanders so badly need a stripe on the white pants. It looks like something happened to the ones they planned to wear, so they went catalog shopping to quickly outfit the whole team with something uniform. There’s minimal white in the uniform and it matches nothing that way. Acceptable counterpoint: they just need a whole new set (but there’s something to start from there on the burgundy)
  13. Based on the "details" posts, I believe they did pay attention to this detail. Specifically looking at Josh Sweats numbers.
  14. For a 2 week summer tournament among 13 year olds in vibrant and non-storied uniform colors anyways? And only reserved to sleeves in contrast? If there was ever a place to add tie-dye, this is it. I like it! They could've done better with the font choice though. Now if you blanket believe tie-dye doesn't deserve to be anywhere close to a sports uniform, that's also fine, but I'm a fan. Much better than some of these in my eyes:
  15. This is the punishment we get for the Seattle throwbacks… every day that passes is one step closer to not knowing who’s playing when red zone cuts to a new game
  16. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuck cincy in UA wasn’t perfect, but it had personality. This does not. I understand what’s being said above, but for a D1 program, a visibly rectangular patch with your wordmark on it is a disgrace. Find a new way, it can’t hurt your budget *that* much
  17. The helmet simply looks like one of those odd replicas that players sign for collectors. Doesn’t mesh with the uniforms imo, and looks totally out of place.
  18. A gripe that really became obvious the other day when this game was replayed on NFLN. The Commanders sleeve stripes feature a PRINTED white, rather than the red diamonds being printed directly on the jersey material. Under the lights, its clear the jerseys have a blue tint, and the sleeves an orange, and its not just the burgundy around it. Just a flaw in the design, one of many.
  19. The red stripe at the base of the hat is a really neat element. Wouldn't want to see it on most teams but its creative and works here. also are city connects just the baseball BFBS?
  20. I was at this game. The Suns jerseys truly popped. They looked gorgeous. Would be disappointing to see them go in yet another direction.
  21. Why can’t teams come out with cohesive uniforms? If you want to go with “ARIZONA” on the chest, it should be on all 3
  22. They got rid of all the dumb stuff, but forgot to add designs to the uniforms its a fine look….. for a DIII school. Not an NFL franchise. Sad. Monochrome city.
  23. I think we all want it to be great. were all looking to find the good in it. weve seen so many great concepts. plenty of wonderful looks... but then time and time again Nike have crushed us with "really?" looking designs.
  24. New brand hints hidden in here?
