    I’ve been saying the same thing about UCLA—they should just go back to the lighter powder blue and bring back navy as an accent color.

    I always thought it was odd that UCLA had navy on the roads with virtually no powder blue, but as much as I love their current look, I miss the navy more than I thought I would. Honestly? They might be able to pull off a second white jersey in their rotation.

    I'd said it when I merely made a concept centered around it, but I didn't want a white Bengals helmet to exist...and this is in spite of the fact that it remains one of my favorite concepts.  Is it weird that I like this helmet but also think it doesn't need to exist?

    I fully agree on this. Like, I enjoy Cardinals concepts that incorporate the flag design heavily. They’re fun, as simple as that. But I’d never want to actually see it done in real life; it would be way too tacky.

    My counter to all of this SEC mascot discussion would be that I view the teams mostly by the university name. Unlike professional sports where the match up is the Falcons vs the Saints, for college football, it’s mostly viewed as Georgia vs Auburn. Sure, it’s also the Bulldogs vs the Tigers, but it doesn’t seem too dissimilar to the way it’s handled in European soccer. Arsenal may be the Gunners and Manchester United may be the Red Devils, but those nicknames aren’t used as the primary identifier for the teams. Same with college football.

    Thank you for saying this. My body is physically pained whenever I have to hear someone at work talking about the “Hawkeye” game. I know it’s the same thing, but it just feels wrong. They’re Iowa. That’s how my brain sees it as correct. I have no valid reason for saying so, but it’s reassuring to see that someone else’s opinion can validate my own.

    I think the white jersey/pants combo is fine for the Panthers... with blue socks. If anything, that's been their signature look since the founding of the franchise.

    You’re right about this being a good look, I’m more frustrated about the use of white socks. I don’t mind a lot of modern trends like a number of others do, but the plain white socks trend is just stupid. Just based on things I grew up with, it looked more “professional” to see colored socks with white bottoms, as opposed to the variety of looks you’d see in college and high school. Granted, I don’t always mind it, Philadelphia looked amazing pairing them with green pants, but it just doesn’t feel right and throws off previously fine uniforms, like the Panthers’ white over white. Would the uniform still be devoid of silver below the helmet? Yeah. But the blue socks don’t make it as big of an issue as the white socks do.

  5. I know others have floated this idea for a while, but just watching some highlights from yesterday really got me thinking that Carolina needs silver in their all white look.
    It makes the helmet look out of place. Personally, I’m of the belief that the silver helmet is their best look (fine with the black as an alternate tho) and don’t like the idea of a white helmet, so I’d say while pants can be eliminated.

    One is a classic, while the other is “inconsistent.”

     

    The Houston Oilers have done immeasurable damage to how we assess striping schemes.

    Hot take: Da Bears should match the pants to the sleeve

    You guys got it wrong. They gotta embrace the seafoam all the way, and match the blue.

    Ya know.... I don’t hate it. I’ve always been team “end the green-silver” but this has me reconsidering

    Riddell did this a couple years ago but it in some ways it looks better than the navy helmet. The navy's just so bland/ho-hum compared to all the other colors they have.

    It's just a little too comical for my tastes.  If they could somehow make it a little more... "mature" (for lack of a better word) I could dig it.  

     

    I don't know how to do that - maybe make it a navy base and ge rid of the silver part?  Or would that lose the flame effect?  Or maybe make it a silver helmet and keep that decal as is?

    spacer.pngI tried this a couple years ago. Not sure I’m a fan of the overall design anymore, but I had the silver-based flame helmet

    And Alabama has had a white helmet in their past

    Just because it’s happened doesn’t take away from the fact that their identity is known with a crimson helmet and I don’t want to see them break out white helmets either. And Florida is an orange helmeted team historically, with white being a strong secondary helmet. Blue helmets were just a blip on the radar. As a one off, like earlier in the year? Cool. Becoming a regular part of the rotation? Not a chance. One season over 50 years ago doesn’t justify it.

  10. Just looking at the helmet from a design standpoint, I love it. But it’s just not Florida. I’m sure the uniforms as a whole will look good, but just because they look good, doesn’t mean it’s right. It’s the same reason teams like Nebraska, Stanford, Alabama, Texas, etc. don’t need an inverted version of their respective helmets. Just because it might look good, doesn’t mean it needs to be done. There isn’t anything wrong with the design, but the real issue is the history involved with it

    I would choose the nightmare green over black any day of the week, and I think most other Ducks fans would likely agree. They certainly don’t need both, which it seems like they might this year if they really do have a new black alternate in the works. Going forward they should definitely choose one and stick with it, but my vote would be for the nightmare green. I’d be fine with black, though, again just as long as they pick one. The apple green is and should continue to be the primary shade of green, and should be worn more frequently than it has been the last couple seasons.

    I think the issue that I (and several others) have with the Nightmare Green is that it doesn’t always look, well, green. Don’t get me wrong, in the proper lighting it’s a good look, but more often than not it appears more of a brown color than green. I think they should take it about a shade or two more to the green side of the spectrum, while still keeping it dark enough to call back to the Joey Harrington era

  12. I hate the Detroit Tigers home uniforms. Classic chest-D or 2018-present cap-D on the jerseys. I don’t know what it is about them, but I just don’t like them. That being said, I have no idea how I’d fix them either. Maybe a Tigers script, and/or include orange? IDK, but for some reason I just don’t like their home set and can’t put my finger on why.

    It doesnt matter if its an alternate uniform, orange and green trim or they have a white helmet. I'm just stating they're similiar and finally I dont care if they are, READ my last sentence in my last post!!

    So, if I’m hearing this right, it:

     

     

    1) doesn’t matter if one team wears the uniforms you’re comparing as the primary and the other as an alternate 


    2) the color scheme doesn’t matter

     

    3) and the coloring of one of the most noticeable pieces of the uniform doesn’t matter

     

     

    Yet you consider them to be similar? I’m truly confused as to what you’re getting at, as I don’t see the similarities in the slightest

    Even with the white pants, Seattle will still be similiar to the Broncos...

    I’m not seeing that comparison at all. Both have navy blue and orange, but Seattle adds green. Both have side panels on the jersey, but Seattle uses green as opposed to Denver’s orange. Most significant though, Seattle has a white helmet, which is COMPLETELY different than Denver. The only similarity between the two is that they have a navy-based jersey with white numbers outlined in orange. Even then, that’s only Denver’s alternate, not primary
