Old School Fool

Nope, the Packers are still using an old school template. Still the only the NFL team with it. I'm still annoyed the Raiders moved away from it a few years ago.

Hopefully the Hornets break out the second version of their infamous court that went with that uniform.

Interesting graphical thing for you here, as we all know in 1994 when Fox got the NFL contract they were the first to use the score bug on screen. Well, in the UK when showing NFL highlights at the time, they made sure to add onto the Fox bug with their own little graphic. They covered up the quarter and time for some reason. I don't know what UK channel it was unfortunately.

Lebron hate is very weird. Calling him a ring chaser is funny especially when he dragged a trash Cavs team through broken glass against the 73 win Warriors to bring home a championship. Only if you're Lebron James is winning a championship a negative I guess?

This is certainly a choice. Putting the entire 60's logo on the front is an interesting move. What's funny is that it's not the actual Lakers logo from back when they were a blue team, there's been several variations going around but no clear cut defined logo for the Pre-Forum years, it's very strange considering they are one of the biggest NBA teams. This is what the site here has: Is that the real logo? I don't know but Chris Creamer recently updated it to that.

The Commanders yellow pants apparently are an option. It's in Madden and usually EA takes from style guides for the current day uniforms, that's why the Bears had orange pants as an option, it wasn't because they were going to wear them but because it was actually in the style guide at the time.

In Madden 24 they changed the uniforms up for the relocated teams you can have. You can even bring back the Oilers and get mediocre uniforms that somehow avoid everything this forum hates yet still looks not great! They also have a red primary jersey and needlessly changed the helmet to have a blue facemask instead. Funny.

Usually when a team has a new uniform set with a bunch of combinations they tend to wear those combinations so anybody worried shouldn't be. You'll get it, it may not be right away but you'll get it.

I would say skate shoes are pretty much made for lots of movement so I don't think players would have anything to worry about really. Interestingly enough I see people skating in Jordan 1's now. This reminds me that back in the day NFL players use to wear basketball shoes on astroturf.

I really like the Cardinals helmet. Somehow they made the helmet stand out in a way that's vibrant and not obnoxious. They safely modernized what seemed untouchable, similar to the Cleveland Browns. The silver flakes make it look like a pearlized white which is pretty cool.

The Suns jersey needing to have an orange ball is stupid when the rays surrounding the ball are purple, so everyone complaining that the jersey doesn't look like the logo but making the ball orange doesn't even help this criticism. Who said the jersey had to look exactly like the logo anyways? Is that an unwritten rule or something? I like the new spin on the old idea, that was the whole point of the uniform.

My favorite thing here is noticing that 2K Sports may have finally gotten the wordmark and number proportions on the jerseys right. Ever since Nike took over, 2K hasn't had accurate wordmark and number sizes and it was kinda annoying even though it looked better because in real life the jerseys have small numbers and stuff now.

This right here is the best solution. Cap the amount of combos a team can wear. Have the league and teams go over what they want to wear specifically for a season, no surprises, no nothing, you wear this and this and etc. This would fix problems like the Saints alternate helmet and eliminate stupid surprises like the Broncos wearing blue pants on the road. Look at the 2019 Browns, they had 4 different away uniforms and 3 of them were just socks, that's actually ridiculous. Just what exactly was the Browns actual away uniform? And then there is the Ravens who just... I don't know. I don't mind teams changing things up but when it's something like the old Browns or the Ravens who seem to wear 10 different things across 17 games you start to question things.

Can this be an alternate home jersey for the Tigers? It looks very nice. When's the last time they had a jersey saying Tigers anyways?

Looks like the Chicago Bears primary logo change is official now. The NFL website and team website is officially using the Bear head logo now and the wishbone C is nowhere in sight. I'm guessing the logo will be at midfield this season.

The Eagles are a team that just struggled for a decent logo for decades until 1996. I always liked the 1969-1972 logo though. The 1987-1995 one is just stupid, it's super detailed and too wide, it doesn't work at all. By the way here's an interesting fact from Todd Radom, the Eagles were thinking of killing the helmet wings and having hunter green, black and red as the colors. A December 1995 item in The Philadelphia Inquirer, headlined “No Stars in New Helmet,” said that “Eagles brass has ruled out a helmet redesign that included a large Cowboys-style star circled by smaller stars as replacements for the wings.” It went on to say “(t)hough it is hard to believe, the Eagles are considering altering the traditional wings on the helmets…” “The Eagles, sources said, do appear to have committed to a switch to Hunter green (darker than Kelly), and are considering adding some red and black trim to the uniform.” I guess we should just be grateful for the midnight green era being the way it is.

Not even on Christmas and only TWO games and not THREE. Who the hell runs these uniform schedules that teams have? They're all so disjointed. The Bucs, Vikings and Eagles all have really beloved throwbacks and they're not maxing out the usage and against bad matchups too because... reasons?

It's funny, I got into football as a kid when the Eagles switched to midnight green in 1996/1997. That's all I know personally and yet I have nostalgia for the 49ers Montana era look, likely because I live in the Bay Area and Montana era stuff was all over. Midnight green Eagles is all I know and yet I still believe kelly green is the superior look. I remember I played Madden '97 when I was six years old and they had the '83 Eagles in there and I saw the green bird logo and was like "Wow what?" I want to go on record and say the full bird logo sucks as a sports logo. It's just not a logo to put anywhere.

Seems to me like the Carmichael era green the Eagles had was definitely darker green but auction photos of game used jerseys show it as brighter. Maybe lighting?

This new Suns uniform is better than anything they have worn in the last 24 years.

Eagles didn't always have the shiny pants.

Oilers in Vanderbilt Stadium was so bad. They had to use the college's turf design the whole season which is insane. Say what you want but at least the Liberty Bowl allowed them to put Oilers in the endzone and rid it of the college stuff. Interestingly enough, the Nashville Parthenon was visible from the stadium in a bit of foreshadowing of the Titans name.

Anybody remember Titans vs. Oilers in 2009? I seem to remembr CBS even calling them by those names too several times.

Honestly, it's almost guaranteed the Brady era uniforms will be a throwback for the Patriots in the future. Also, Adidas made those uniforms.

As a Raiders fan, I am glad I have another reason to dislike the Broncos.
