Hell's Kitchen Daredevils After making his MCU debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home & then subsequently appearing in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (which the yellow alternate takes inspiration from), the Man Without Fear is set to have his own TV series revived.

That's a good idea! The shade of brown in the image you linked seemed pretty perfect, so I ended up using it: I'd also probably have to adjust the yellow alternate to be more in-line with the main set (the original one was inspired by his costume in the X-Men '97 TV series).

Alberta Wolverines He hasn't appeared in the MCU yet, but Hugh Jackman is set to return as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool 3. I based the uniforms on his comic book aesthetic.

I’ve long thought the Broncos’ best throwback look was this one, it’s so much more unique than the Orange Crush: It seems to me like it’d be very adaptable to modern templates, too. Go with the robin’s egg blue helmet, keep the current number font & logo (or update the D horse logo), & you’ve got a winner.

The colors were inspired by the purple Power Stone, which is the MacGuffin of the first Guardians film, and the gold lettering of that same film’s branding. Since so many superheroes use the primary colors of blue, red, & yellow as their color scheme (which has some interesting color theory behind it), and since the Guardians’ suits weren’t really present until the 3rd film, I decided to avoid using them as inspiration for the color scheme.

This I can agree with, I think that’s just a symptom of consistent winning though, as you tend to hear similar sentiments from fans of the Patriots or Lakers, for example, where winning became expected, as opposed to enjoyable. If only fans of other teams could be so lucky. This seems to me to be more of a contradiction to your point than you may realize. Was it still while Ortiz was playing? It seems like a pretty analogous situation to Seaver, since a 300th win is also towards the end of one’s career. I’ve seen a similar thing online lately of some Twins fans trashing Joe Mauer, since he is up for Hall of Fame induction this year. I personally think and hope he will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and I can’t understand Twins fans who are unappreciative of a literal hometown hero, who always did things the right way on & off the field. This is getting way off-topic of uniform discussion, though, so to get back on track: the Giants look fine on the new template, their design translates pretty well, as will the Pirates, although I suspect the perforated numbers are going to bug me.

Feel free to disagree, but in my experience any generalization about a group of people seems bound to be inaccurate for at least a decent amount of people in that group. There are plenty of good and bad Yankees fans out there, just as there are good and bad Red Sox fans. I don’t like the Yankees myself, but I don’t hold any illusions about all of their fans, or even a majority of them, being terrible. I honestly can’t fathom ditching my team allegiance because of a perception of how other fans behave, even if I perceived them to be the majority. Now, if the team themselves did something to warrant criticism, such as a serious scandal or something, I could see how that could be grounds for deserting fandom of the team, even if only for a temporary time. General attitudes of fans can even be shown to change, as evidenced by Phillies fans’ eventual re-embrace of Trea Turner, even when the results weren’t showing early this past season (although, if you say you haven’t been following baseball since ‘96, I guess you may be unaware of that situation).

Knowhere Guardians Inspired by the most unlikely heroes of the MCU. The alternate, fitting for the holiday season, takes direct inspiration from the only Christmas special in the MCU.

The Brewers are pretty "meh" to me, I like the choice to go with powder blue & the sleeve stripes design is pretty clever, but the rest is kind of a miss for me. It's not a disaster, but it's pretty uninspiring. I actually kind of like the Reds', they were willing to completely go all-in a futuristic design instead of the "respect the past, embrace the future" trope so many teams employ, to good or bad effect. I'd like the Giants' better if they went with the darker "International Orange" that matched the Golden Gate Bridge, & the fog seems like a good concept but it was executed poorly. Using a "G" instead of "SF" or "San Francisco" was also a poor choice. I wouldn't call it a complete fail, but it's definitely near the bottom. The Braves' is definitely a copout to keep the throwback in the rotation, but all things considered, it's probably the result that most people here would want. If they did anything else, people would say it's too much of a departure from the brand (which is a perfectly reasonable opinion). I wish they were a bit more adventurous myself, but I wouldn't call it bad or anything. On the contrary, the Red Sox' uniform looks pretty nice aesthetically, but feels like such a departure from the Red Sox' brand. A Fenway Park inspired uniform would've been a much safer route to go, while still tying into the city, in my opinion. On the other hand, given how intertwined the Sox and the Boston Marathon are, the inspiration for this one is near the top, in regards to sticking to the premise of connecting to the city. If the Pirates' jersey spelled out "Pittsburgh," instead of the silly abbreviation, I'd be perfectly happy with it (again, apart from the batting helmet). A gold jersey with black pants is a welcome readdition to the Pirates' rotation. To summarize, each of the jerseys you mentioned definitely have their flaws, like many jerseys do in our eyes, but I wouldn't call any of them complete fails, like many of the recent NBA City jerseys have been.

And that's where I saw it.

I understand the idea of the Yankees pinstripes being their City Connect, so I wouldn't be surprised if they truly end up not having a jersey. It would honestly be pretty strange seeing them wear anything other than the pinstripes in Yankee Stadium. Although I was very against the City Connect program when it was announced, as it felt like a cheap ripoff of the NBA City program (which, in reality, it still is), most of the designs have turned at least pretty decent. I love the White Sox & Angels, and the Diamondbacks, Rockies, and Astros are all pretty great too. Others are really nice but have one fatal flaw (The Mariners' black pants, the Pirates' batting helmets). Only a few are real stinkers (Baltimore, Dodgers, San Diego). Overall though, the program has resulted in some pretty unique and interesting designs, and I'm looking forward seeing to how the remaining teams turn out.

Westview Witches This branding is based around the great introduction to TV in the MCU: WandaVision. The alternate really leans into the early television aesthetic of the opening episode.

My general rule of thumb is that if the jersey matches the pants, the helmet should match the socks, whether that results in a completely monotone combo or not. That's part of why certain monochrome combos like the Seahawks work for me, while a number of the Color Rush sets, which often were a different color from the helmet but were one color from the neck down, didn't. It's also why I think that Bills set actually works, as @fouhy12 said, the socks help balance out the helmet. It'd be better with stripes on the socks, though. That Jets combo isn't bad, as there's plenty of white on the jersey for the socks to balance out with, and a white facemask would be even better. Green socks would probably work just as well with this set though. As for the Bears, if they go all-navy, I prefer their worn-once Color Rush combo: The team confirmed as much, as you can see in @Pigskin12's post on the previous page:

Los Angeles Marvels This set was inspired by one of the most powerful characters in the MCU, Captain Marvel. The Cinematic alternate takes inspiration from the Ms. Marvel TV show logo.

Manhattan 4s After John Krasinski's turn as Reed Richards in Multiverse of Madness (I'm still holding out hope that he keeps the role), the Fantastic Four have officially debuted in the MCU. The blue alternate is directly inspired by his suit in the film.

I think that’s a good general rule of thumb, but I’m not sure I’d go as far as to say there aren’t any exceptions to it. I personally like certain monochrome combos that are either quite dark, like the Seahawks or Bears all-navy, or combos that are all-white, such as the Dolphins or Bills (I generally prefer the contrasting pants for both of those teams, but I still don’t mind the all-white). I’m also genuinely curious whether this uniform is part of that rule for you, or if it gets an exception because of the stripes on the socks: As a lifelong Vikings fan, I actually prefer the purple pants as the primary road combo. I do agree though that pairing the purple pants with purple socks is less than ideal. My slight disagreement is that I don’t think the white socks necessarily need to be striped in order for them to be a superior option to purple socks.

I actually prefer the black socks with the black jersey for the Bengals, as the orange socks are the only part of the uniform that’s solid orange, everything else has stripes, which kind of bugs me. It makes the socks stand out too much in my eyes. I only like the orange socks when they’re paired with the orange jersey. I guess I disagree with the premise that all-black needs contrasting socks, as I seem to be in the minority for liking the Falcons’ all-black combo. These both look great though (as do the Ravens’ purple pants on the road).

Queens Spiders The most iconic character in Marvel comics had to get his own team. The Cinematic alternate is inspired by the Symbiote suit, which *spoilers* was hinted at in the post-credits scene of No Way Home.

The Titans light blue pants are their best away combo, but they really chose one of the worst possible games to wear them against the Dolphins' aqua. Also, I haven't watched a game of theirs in a while, but the two-tone silver sword really is so bad. They really need to change uniforms yesterday. That's not to mention that the association between swords and Greek Titans seems a bit forced to say the least. The Dolphins, on the other hand, their main set is underrated. I'd be more than happy if they returned to the throwbacks, but the current shade of aqua, the number font, and the logo are all pretty nice.

Cairo Knights Inspired by the recent Moon Knight TV series, this set focuses mostly on white & silver, with a touch of gold.

The Jaguars - Browns matchup looks great. The Jags’ teal pants play off nicely against the brown & orange. The Jags’ plain black & white jersey doesn’t even look boring at all when paired with the teal pants. It’s stating the obvious, but this should be their primary road look.

Kamar-Taj Sorcerers This set takes font and color inspiration from Doctor Strange. The special alternate is inspired by Steve Ditko's trippy and iconic artwork.

Skrullos Skrulls I liked Secret Invasion more than most people seemed to, although the finale was a bit of a letdown. This set takes inspiration from the Secret Invasion comics branding.
