Metcalf's tweet was promptly deleted, but here's a screencap of the leak:

 

So technically this is a new version of the Browns helmet that's never been worn before. White facemask + shiny finish + oranger orange.

Turner?

Thinking this looks bad is something my mind can't comprehend. Stirrups remind us of all that once was good, and it could be again.

Uni Watch has covered this issue a couple of times. Pretty unbelievable. The Cardinals had the same issue in ST so i guess we will see what they look like on the road vs the Dodgers today. This is pathetic

Wow somehow I missed that. Looks like the Cardinals were the only team to wear gray in ST but this confirms it's a league-wide problem. Really is pathetic.

Is it just me or do these jerseys not match with the pants?

I feel like I'm going crazy, but I hate red facemasks on dark helmets. It gives generic high school vibes.
 

I agree. I'd like to see it with a white facemask.

This guy was onto something back in 2015

Clearly an upgrade, but I'm not in love overall.

As noted above, the Twins that were the first thing that came to mind. However, I think the Twins executed it better. The contrast with the wordmarks on the red/blue jerseys is an issue imo. The amount of  space between the wordmark and number also feels awkward.

The logo is a big miss for me. I'm just so tired of roundels. The NBA already has a problem with an ever increasing corporatized templated feel. All these new logos having the same style doesn't help.

I don't get boycotting the companies, can you blame any company for taking the opportunity to be on three sleeve of a MLB team?

 

If say Wawa goes on the Phillies sleeve, I don't hate Wawa all of a sudden.

 

It's not so much about hating the company, but discouraging companies from seeing it as a good advertising investment. I don't hate or blame the individual companies, I just hate the whole idea of it. Again, a pretty worthless endeavor considering 99.99% of the population doesn't care. But I still do it out of principle.

Fans should simply boycott the advertisers.

I haven't put a drop of Marathon gas in my car since their logo has been on the Guardians jerseys. I have a feeling they haven't noticed. There's not nearly enough people who care enough to effectively boycott these companies.

I'm gonna go off on a tangent here that will make me seem like a conspiracy theorist, but what if the NFL/Nike's prerogative is to design bad/mediocre uniforms on purpose so that they can turn around, pull them 5 years later, and milk more money from fans with a new, more popular set?

I wouldn't be surprised at all. It's become extremely clear across all major pro sports that the #1 priority when it comes to branding and uniforms is short term profit.

I really hate this if it's true.

I have to admit I'm a little surprised by the amount of attention this Nike/Fanatics thing is getting outside of us weirdos here. I mean when teams unveil a completely redesigned uniform, half the replies on social media are usually "what's the difference?" just because it's the same color scheme. I'm glad it's getting so much backlash though.

You know it's bad when they keep desperately pushing propaganda to try to convince fans that it's actually a good thing.

Not to be dramatic but this literally just ruined my day. We're rapidly approaching NBA levels of destroying tradition and brand identity.

More MLB news from Uni Watch today: MLB’s Last Vest Jersey Is Officially Dead

 

 

I never liked the Rockies black vest because it felt pointless with the vest and undershirt being the same color. So this news doesn't bother me other than the fact that it reminds me that I miss vests in general. Probably more of a nostalgia thing because I started watching sports as a kid in the early 2000s, but I just love them.

Massive upgrade for the Yankees. I've desperately wanted that white outline gone for years. As someone else pointed out, the sacredness of Yankees uniform kinda went out the window with an ad patch, but I'm still excited to see this cleaned up version on the field.

Probably my favorite Texans concept I've seen. Well done.

Unfortunately they don't include enough H-Town, ice, or other trendy elements to be close to what we'll actually get.

They appear to be the same design as the original red pants with a change in material

The change in material is pretty dramatic imo. The colors looked so washed out.

What's up with those pants stripes?

We kinda got this matchup in 2008:

 

Side note: I miss refs wearing white knickers.

Pretty much as good as a uniform matchup gets

Browns beat reporter in response to a suggestion of making the white facemasks permanent

Meh. I prefer either sticking with the sand or going back to purple and teal. I don't hate it but it but they can't seem to find an identity and this one feels like a forced mashup.

I especially dislike the road grays. The teal outline is barely visible.
