  1. Exactly. NFL teams can wear alternates 3 games a year, unless they petition the league for an exemption. Something that has only happened once I believe for the 49ers anniversary season. College football only really cares about number legibility and player safety when it comes to uniforms. Teams could wear a a dozen different jerseys throughout the season and it would be perfectly okay. Comparing the NFL to college football is a pretty extreme stretch.
  2. This was driving me insane watching the Guardians/Mariners game tonight. Neither team has a jersey sponsor, but their logo/patch still moved to the opposite arm depending on how they bat or pitch. So on TV all you see is a blank sleeve. Not to mention the Guardians winged logo looks incredibly stupid flying backwards on the left sleeves.
  3. Love the return to original "ball" but that font ain't it. Personally I've always like the script font. I may be biased though because I'm a Coke drinker. They probably want to keep their brand as distant as possible from their main competitor.
  4. Anyone saying "at least it's not Nike" is completely delusional. Fanatics has been a trainwreck in everything they have produced. I don't expect this to be any different.
  5. Agreed. The whole time watching the game, the bug just seemed way too big. I usually prefer them to be more horizontal than vertical. But this seemed oversized in both directions. If that makes sense.
  6. I've never understood why they went with the Monsters nickname. The Lumberjacks and Barons have so much history in Cleveland, whole Monsters just seems boring. Would have been the perfect time for a rebrand when they moved away from the Lake Erie name.
  7. The second tweet is from the Browns owner who is in charge of branding and uniforms.
  8. Looks like the Browns may be going to white facemasks permanently in the near future Just another reason why it is so dumb to have a piece of equipment as your primary logo.
  9. The Bengals uniforms just aren't good and for some reason every single time someone has a negative comment you jump in to defend them. Yes they are better than the previous set, but just about anything would be. Just because you are a fan of a team doesn't mean you can't admit they have ugly uniforms.
  10. It's comical watching footage from the 90s and thinking the types of things we complain about here. When players were running around looking like this: Lots of exposed abs, super baggy undershirts, giant pads and huge goofy facemasks for QBs.
  11. I'm a sucker for non-outlined wordmarks and numbers. So naturally I love everything about this and wouldn't change a thing. Should have known what I would walk into when I came to see my friends at the CCSLC.
  12. Since it's Cleveland I probably would have went with this font instead:
  13. I don't live in NE Ohio anymore, but my understanding has always been that it's the overarching name for all of the nature preserves/reservations, public parks, beaches, zoo, golf courses, etc in the Cleveland area. I get the connection since Cleveland has always be called "Forest City" but the light blue and tan don't make me think of any park I've ever been to in the area. Dark green and tan would have made more sense.
  14. At the end of the day the NBA is a business and businesses all want to make as much money as possible and make their customers happy. Are they going to sacrifice profits just because some uniform nerds like us might get mad on the internet? I can't speak for all fanbases, but the reception to the Cavs set has been overwhelmingly positive. Usually the fanbases really like the city uniforms because they represent something to their home. Honestly I also think some are way better than a team's main uniform sets. This also isn't just something the NBA does. It's present in almost all sports and all levels of competition, aside from the NFL. The NHL hasn't gone full "city" but Reverse Retro has plenty of elements that break from a teams official branding. I'm not going to lose any sleep because team wears a different uniform for a dozen games a season.
  15. Cavs look better than the leaks, but still not anything amazing. Really not a fan of the huge blue circle on the shorts. They went with a Cleveland Metroparks theme. Honestly don't know why they went with light blue instead of green if that's the case. Can't say I've been impressed by anything this "visual artist" has done since he was put in charge of the Cavs branding.
  16. New Akron uniforms and court design for this season. Definitely like the more traditional approach across all sports since they switched to the new logo.
  17. Lots of "meh" logos here. All the new logos are downgrades except for Seattle and maybe DC. The Renegades logo looks like it was designed for Dallas and then they just decided to leave the D in there. Guardians doesn't fit well with Orlando and I have no idea what's going on with that Vipers logo.
  18. Very cool contest. Although I must have horrible taste because it seems that every one I voted for was not leading the race.
  19. I like these a lot better than the previous Quebec retros. Almost like the Avs came out with a "city" version of their normal jerseys, which is a really cool approach. I'm assuming these will be very popular in Colorado.
  20. I like this look at lot for the Celtics. Switch out the green for wine and this is exactly the template the Cavs should have worked with.
  21. "So clean"? Yeah nice try. The Bills entire identity is the most bland in the entire league.
  22. My first thought was a chainlink fence. But that's probably because the jersey is hanging on a chainlink fence and my mind just went there. The wordmark has a tattoo feel so maybe some type of urban/street lifestyle theme? I honestly have no idea what direction this is going.
  23. Think these win the award for least accurate throwbacks in the history of sports. I'm no expert in Miami (OH) football uniform history, but I'm pretty certain they've never worn anything like this before. The team claims they are based on these... But hey it's a red jersey and white helmet. Guess that's close enough.
  24. Looks like the Erie Otters are going to have a new gold jersey based on their original template. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjYo_-Tvb2v/ They really butchered their logos a few seasons back, but this is a step in the right direction.
