Took the time to draw out a *very* rough estimate of what we're seeing... Pants are speculative, and the helmet W is a placeholder for the logo, but colors are predicted/seen. Also no clue on yellow stripe for black helmet...

I think the logo is actually in this tweet, just zoomed in really far. 

 

I think its the current W, just in outline form. the top right serif looks to be the same. But you could be right, and the new logo features that W

The new WFT logo is visible on the football behind the helmet at the 5:53 mark. 

 

 

I don't think the team would be that inept at blowing a reveal in their video. It's the current logo. 

The black helmet they showed had gold in whatever logo or number was on it. If the yellow isn't on the sleeves, or numbers, what's left? 

I don't dislike the burgundy uniform to what I've seen, but this white uniform and black helmet screams disaster

3 stars is likely representative of their 3 Super Bowls. The circle on the back has me intrigued, has to be a logo.

Still most worried about the white uniform and how gradients are definitely on it.

What I'm seeing in the uniform part:

Burgundy jersey w/ yellow numbers and white outline. Collar is all burgundy. Names are yellow. Sleeve stripes are 

Three stars inside the collar

Burgundy pants

White jersey has a gradient-effect on  the sleeve w/ a solid burgundy next to small burgundy squares right below it, burgundy name

Numbers have a gradient effect, where the burgundy is solid in the middle, with larger white squares towards the top & bottom. Black outline

Helmet 1 looks like a Satin burgundy with formidable yellow logos on the side and a single yellow stripe. Yellow mask. Not a two-tone stripe, its just lighting.

Helmet 2 looks like it's all black. the logo has a yellow base with a thin burgundy outline. 

I'm getting nervous, this has the makings of new gimmick set rather than a traditional classic (Which is a shame because the WFT team has had a steady classic look)

at the 6:38 mark in that video, there's a transition using a styled W. Could be nothing, could be something.

Numbers seem to look like a digital & Bears hybrid, college-esque. Looks like thin w/ no serifs, but sharp and tall.

"We will launch"

3 stars inside the jersey, either military-related or their 3 super bowl wins.

RedTails logo concept was also teased early in the video during the redwolves part. 

"one of the main helmets"

oh dear god...

Gonna be honest, the jags gold that’s used in all these mock-ups does not look good. I know it’s the digital logo, but for the helmets they use a much truer gold, and that would look much better.

honestky I think a simple number outline and a sleeve cap more similar to the Vikings would be a perfect look for them.

Also, something I noticed on the Browns, is the 7 having half of the serif missing. I know it was a nod to classic looks on the primary, but they kept it consistent on the throwback too. Awesome attention to detail and if it wasn't applauded for before, I'm applauding it now.

Yep. I think Houston should simply switch the primary from blue to red, and wear accordingly. Add some red pants maybe. But the branding is awesome as it is. It's *them*, not gimmicky, and not boring. Could be an awesome change from the Watson+sucking era, a la the new look Browns...

Don’t you think having home and road throwbacks becomes redundant? It creates an identity crisis. Look at the dolphins…do they want to be aqua or aqua fresh?

*screams in 49ers*

(yes, home & road throwbacks are dumb)

Part of what makes the Texans "boring" is the navy color, absolutely. The RWB scheme is almost overused in American sports (esp. Baseball). Navy with some red & white has been done for the NFL, and it's the globally recognized Patriots. Their rival in the Titans has gone to a navy-centric uniform set, and sit in a division with Royal Blue Colts, and Black&Teal Jaguars, something else is needed.

The Texans have awesome starts, I think their logo is one of the better ones in the NFL.  Only one team in the league has true red helmets (Chiefs, Washington is burgundy with TBD on the new look), there are a handful white ones (Chargers, Colts, Cardinals, Bills, Dolphins), and a handful of navy (Broncos, Bears, Titans, Seahawks). If they went with the red uniforms, they'd differentiate themselves from their division, the patriots, and the Navy is opposite enough of the Chiefs yellow. I'm almost envisioning a red-sox type brand for them.

Both the Cardinals and Texans can really stand out with a red helmet. I am a sucker for a white helmet though, but I think there's a ton of potential in there being a lack of red in the NFL, which is all the point is.

The Cardinals are due for an upgrade, but I think they should go forward with it, not go traditional. Doesn't mean gimmick, but I've had ideas I may throw in the Concepts forum at some point.

These all black falcons helmets are fantastic. They’d look so great on the normal set too, with the updated logo too. Why they opted for silver face masks? Makes zero sense, and it’s a shame knowing how great it looks.

Ignore the odd Vegas color matchup, but like this is an awesome color scheme to start with if they want to go full do-over and different, (While still having a reason with the OG Ducks uniforms)

And FWIW, I like the webbed D logo, but just the logo part, not the wordmark on the jersey.

Speaking of branding disasters, Aston Villa, Burnley and West Ham United all have almost the exact same uniform. So do Brentford and Southampton.

 

People have complained for years about Nebraska and Wisconsin looking the same (not as much anymore with Under Armour's tweaks to Wisconsin) and the glut of plain maroon-and-white teams in the SEC, but at least they can use the tradition excuse. How is it possible for a sport where the uniforms change literally every season to still be so uncreative?

 

As frustrated as some people are with Nike's NBA, it's nowhere near as bad as soccer.

Looking at each of those teams individually, they can also play the tradition card (esp. Aston Villa), but it's surprising that they all offer nearly identical kits year in and year out.

Like yes, there are American teams that look very similar, especially in the collegiate ranks.

My point in bringing up Europe soccer is the non-traditional kits that get worn too often, that have zero branding toward the main club. These teams need a "new" design each season, and get whatever color they feel like, random design elements, and the only way you know it's them is from the logo on the screen.

This is the path that the city jerseys are following, the main looks are fading away, and its about getting a new uniform that gets enough interest/merch sales that justifies making yet another one. The idea of a city jersey is awesome, but 1 new one a year is pushing it, we're running out of ideas for many of the teams. I've enjoyed a lot of the Philadelphia ones, but I feel like they have been towards the front of the pack each year.

Ex. Man City has worn almost every color, and for being a light blue team, maroon and volt is not a good "away kit".

Barcelona has also had some questionable ones, the pink and teal of last year being their worst.

Not specifically for the Ducks, but I could see it from the OG movie, there is a missing Green and Gold color scheme in the NHL right now. Before the Seattle Kraken brand was unveiled, I played around with two color schemes in NHL 19, the first being a Dark Green and Salmon (based on the Sockeyes name), and the second being Green and Gold with an "Astros" theme. The Gold and Green with some black accents really popped, and is a missing spot in the league. So is purple, but that's a Kings problem. I don't have any concepts to share, but some Ducks wore some unis on Adidas' Template to a game last year.

It feels like the only possible continuations of this are every team eventually using just about every color imaginable, the entire Essene of the jerseys being changed (e.g., giant logos on the front, or team names on the back and player names on the front), recycling old ones every few years, or incredibly subtle changes.

 

As to whether it's been and will be successful, I'm curious. Obviously if this leads to big merchandise sales, it's successful and it's not going anywhere. 

 

Are a lot of people really going to buy their team's one-year look every year? 

Wait until you hear about soccer in Europe...

For those that don't know...

Teams have a basic look (Tottenham is White shirt, Blue shorts, white socks) and they come out with a new one every year, with 2nd, 3rd, and sometimes even 4th jerseys which are usually completely off brand colors and design.

Pick any team and start looking through away kits. Its a branding disaster, and I fear the NBA is heading directly towards it.

edit: realized my browser didn't load all new replies on me, sorry if I'm rehashing old points

I don't like a lot of those. Either redundant based on the current sets (Celtics, Pelicans, Pacers, Bulls), "what team is that" (Thunder, Grizzlies, Magic, Warriors), or "gross" (Hornets, Mavericks, Heat, Pistons). There's a few bright spots (Suns, Cavaliers, Bucks), but generally I don't like this set.

But honestly, I don't like most years of city jerseys, because they are either redundant, or stray so far from the team branding that in highlights you cant tell who you're watching.

What color are the Jazz? What do they *want* to be? As a uniform and logo guru, I know their listed colors (navy-dark green-yellow-white scheme). But asking friends and those unknowledgeable of this stuff, they had no idea.

Their most popular uniform choices? White, followed closely by the red rocks city jersey, which is in it's like 3rd iteration but the theme is 5 years running? There is no green (fine, okay), and the yellow is worn 17 times, navy 12 times.

And now they're branding their social media in black and an almost volt yellow?

I'm impartial to the colors they pick, I just want them to pick one, and stick with it!

I don't know the correct terminology, but the Green section of the jersey looks to be the 2000s shiny material we all had on our basketball shorts:

Not a lot of skill players wear the pants over the knees anymore, I’m fine with it paired with leggings since the knees are covered in terms of aesthetic purposes (for the record, idc if the knees show). 
 

socks with stripes are obviously preferred, but anything that has colors looks great.

Something I've noticed that works real well: Players wearing compressions/leggings under their pants, and not wearing socks. If teams could get some stripes on those, we could see a uniform renaissance here...  (Yes, I know Fields has stripes, but it looks like he's got socks on.)

I've been a big fan of the number un-restrictions. I still am.

But players who changed numbers while remaining on the same team, and seeing another of their position grab the #, that has me confused while watching preseason highlights. The Panthers having a #12 WR, and the Rams having a #17 have me tripped. I'll be used to it by week 3-4, but annoying out of the gate.

Like yes, it's common for players to have their jerseys given out after they leave, I'm just tripped up by those who are still on that team
