  1. I would've swore these were dropping later, but here's my take

    Pros:

    Design is not as out there as I thought

    The usage of colors pops really well and is balanced (although the road uniform is a little navy heavy)

    Any design these days that uses fairly traditional pants striping + contrasting socks gives it a big upgrade

    Cons:

    Why do we need two different designs? You're a franchise that's twenty years old, it doesn't make any sense to not just color swap (especially because I do think the shoulders horns work)
    There's pictures of it, but the last names are HUGE! Derek Stingley Jr's nameplate goes the entire length of the jersey

    The uniform is more flashy than it needs too, especially with the all red + chrome; that uniform is not gonna be fun to watch

    Just like Denver went all in on mountains, Houston went all in on "candy paint", which is gonna make every single combo of theirs extremely flashy (frankly too flashy)

     

    Other comments:

    I won't lie, I actually dig the H-Town set quite a bit. It's annoying that the logo is mostly light blue when the uniform elements are red, but it should look good as a twice-a-year set.

    Seems like so much of the uniform is built to look fantastic under the NRG stadium lights, but when the Texan will only be having 2-3 home night games. the candy gloss won't look nearly as good. Frankly, I'm waiting to see what the uniform looks like in normal outdoor sunshine.

     

    Overall, it does work well, but I'm always gonna be pissed off that they didn't just match the home and road uniforms. It's definitely one of the most eye-catching sets in the league now, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Having mostly traditional striping bumps it up, but I still think it's a fairly slight downgrade to the old ones. It could've been a hell of a lot worse, though.

  2. I feel like it's an improvement, but not as much as it may seem. 

    Pros:

    Finally got rid of the stripes they had

    Colors are more balanced, and it pops better

    Pants are more interchangeable

     

    Cons:

    Way too reliant on the mountain imagery, like everything about this uniform has something to do with a mountain

    Triangles triangles triangles!!!
    Stripes could be a little better
     

    Overall, I like the change, but I don't think it moves up too many spots in the uniform ranking. It's an improvement to offer more traditional stripe placement compared to the dated 90's design, but the new stripes are a little clunky. Changes were made in the name of "mountains and peaks" and some of them look a lot better than others. Also don't know why the white helmet was paired with the navy jersey; if I had to guess, they'll wear white/navy/white once, all-navy, and the throwback. in the end, this uniform does not seem to be enough to put it over most of the uniforms it was behind, but it's still a nice change.

  3. Fitting that Fanatics would *censor* this up after the incredible year they've been having.

     

    Regardless, I love that they've gone back to a more traditional look. The new stripes remind me of racing stripes, and bringing white back just looks so much better. Of course, it isn't a Nike uniform these days without the perforated numbers, but the overall look is much better. Pray to God that the pants have stripes too 🙏🏻

  4. The Lions are releasing brand new uniforms tomorrow and we know absolutely nothing of them outside of what's been deliberately given to us.  Even a few years ago, it seemed that everything would get leaked in advance, but it's clear that the NFL and Nike have cleaned up their act.

  5. Not terrible. I hope the other uniforms are very similar, although this football league desperately needs more red dominant teams (just Kansas City, Washington, Tampa Bay, Arizona, and San Francisco at the moment)

  6. Blue and red court is certainly something.

     

    With my Bucks in white and the Pacers stuck in yellow, what happens if we get a Bucks-Pelicans finals? Both the Pacers and Lakers can play a white vs yellow matchup against whoever, but can you have the Bucks wear green or the Pelicans wear navy? The league already disallowed both the Bucks and the Lakers from their their city jerseys because of contrast, so what do you do if both teams can only contrast with white?

  7. Detroit vs. Kansas City (made this before the game, ended up being wrong lol)

     

    Cincinnati vs. Cleveland

    Houston vs. Baltimore

    Tampa Bay vs. Minnesota

    Carolina vs. Atlanta

    Arizona vs. Washington

    Jacksonville vs. Indianapolis

    San Francisco vs. Pittsburgh

    Tennessee vs. New Orleans

    Las Vegas vs. Denver

    Philadelphia vs. New England

    LA Rams vs. Seattle

    Miami vs. LA Chargers

    Green Bay vs. Chicago

    Dallas vs. NY Giants


    Buffalo vs. NY Jets

    The Packers need to update off the mesh jerseys, if they went to the new template all they would need to do is go with a solid collar and make the sleeve stripes bigger in scale, which would be welcomed anyways. 

    As a Packers fan, I really do believe that the mesh jerseys make us play better. We've had the most consistent successful results outside of maybe the Patriots for the  last 30 years

    I feel like this complaint was overblown.  It was improved on the Vapor Untouchable template, which the Colts only wore with their Color Rush set:

    Not sure how anyone could complain about that.

    [dodges incoming complaints)

    Colts should really run with that shade of blue across the board instead of their almost navy they use for their logos

    I think Texans will be announcing JJ Watt as a 1 day contract and ring of honor guy. 

    My thoughts too, but I'll be happily surprised if they announce something bigger
