Yep

Imagine if Art Modell had been as hard 4ss about defending the Browns' IP when Paul Brown founded the Bengals as the Addams family is now with Oilers IP...

I think the Pirates adding red as a tertiary color in the 1990s was a good call. Yes, it's nice to have all of Pittsburgh's teams to have the same colors, but this helped the Pirates stand out.

Lifelong Pittsburgh everything fan and I agree with this.

Finally ponied up the money to read Paul's substack, and the Nike NFL interviews are fascinating. I am also glad it dispells the "tail wagging the dog" relationship people seemed to think Nike has in regards to NFL uniform design; that never really made sense to me.

Riddell debuted a new facemask for the Axiom shell

Makes sense, they seemed to be field testing the brow-bar style masks on college teams this past season.

Eastern Michigan is wearing grey uniforms vs Buffalo in black. Looks horrible

Imagine that same uni match-up on the gray field at EMU

Damn, I miss Russell's college football uniforms.

I miss them if only because it reminds me of an era of college football that is no longer with us. In terms of aesthetics, I couldn't be happier to see them gone.

Purdue looks like a bit of a mess right now. While they brought back the Brees era throwbacks at home, they are still wearing their modern uniforms on the road. VT in all orange.

 

 

Still using that same old template, too

I don't have pictures at the moment but if you're watching the KU-Illini game, pay attention to Illinois TE Tip Reiman and his helmet; looks like Riddell finally figured out how to put a brow bar on the axiom.

this rocks and i want the NFL to let him wear it in the regular season

apropos of nothing, seeing pictures of drew brees at purdue makes me wish at least someone would bring back the JOP facemask

Holy cow that's a blast from the past. I love that movie.

Their current uniforms have character while these look like any other team from the 60s.

for the record I love the new Vikings throwbacks, but I find it funny that this board (and I get that I am making a widely generalizing statement) is against manufacturers templating uniform design, whereas most of uniforms in the past that this board pines for are all templated designs themselves. For example, Washington, the Packers, the Saints, the Browns, and the Dolphins all had the very same striping pattern at one point. 

Willing to bet that if they wear the creamsicles on a modern nike template, they'll have the same sort of stripe treatment that the Giants and UNC football throwbacks have.

Another one?  “Vintage” fabrics and construction.  
 

Meaning dazzle mesh.

 

And shiny pants.

Tampa would actually use period correct mesh jerseys when they'd wear the throwbacks, even in 2012 with Nike. I kinda hope they do that again. 

Milwaukee Tall Boys. do it.

I know i'm in the minority but I still wish they'd kept the Skins part of the name and just went Pigskins.

I think had Snyder been amenable to the change much earlier on this would have been a viable option, but the longer he waited the more clear it was that renaming the team with "-skins" was a half measure and the whole slate had to be wiped clean. At least that is my read of how the situation unfolded.

99% of NFL fans will never notice the seams on the jersey. We are a very small minority that actually notices these things

To this point, I remember watching football with my wife one time and two guys, one wearing a schutt F7 and the other wearing a speedflex were on the screen; and I asked her if she could see the difference between the two. She said no, and that they both just looked like football helmets to her. 

My own personal opinion is that the dazzle fabric looks terrible, and I love how bright and colorful the nike uniforms have been since 2012. There are some aesthetic downsides to that of course but I think the good outweighs the bad. The reebok/ripon era looks like the dark ages compared to now.

I'll be honest, without those rumors, the last few weeks wouldn't have been as fun. The build up with zero leaks was more fun than the reveal. 

my thoughts exactly. TruColor made the last few weeks interesting at least; some times you just swing and miss

Really I think these are perfectly respectable uniforms. Turns out the guy on reddit was right.

Unpopular opinion: I like these

 

They have nothing to do with Cardinals but the design isn't that different from what the Suns did the 90s

In a vacuum I like these; I don't know that I would be crazy about them as the Cardinals' primary though.
