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

The Renegades helmet looks beautiful under the sun

Absolutely. It’s extremely unfortunate they decided to emphasize black so much from the neck down

Use white instead of grey and I think that would look great on a helmet

I mean, it definitely could look nice on the helmet, but why would they do that and abandon the best helmet in the league?

I’ve thought this since the uniforms were revealed and seeing them in action has definitely not changed my mind: St Louis has the best look in the league. Just beautiful 

This was a nice, unique helmet:

Numbers on the sides (both sides) and it would’ve been perfect

I'm aware.  From the head up, when those 2 teams play each other, nothing more than decals are going to set them apart.  Idiocy on the league's behalf.

And from the head up, nothing separates the Broncos, Bears, or Texans, other than decals. The decals ARE there, so pretending they aren’t just for the sake of argument is pointless 

Not really an unpopular opinion about uniforms, but about a phrase used to describe them:

Calling things “__F__S”, AKA “[Insert term] for [insert term]’s sake,” is dumb. It was sorta okay when it was just BFBS (even though I still didn’t love that terminology), but now I’ll see people use that style of abbreviation with tons of random stuff it really doesn’t need applied to. When you have to follow up the abbreviation with what it stands for, is it really worth using?

I sell every major athletic & printable apparel brand on the planet, except for adidas & Riddell.  Pretty sure I know what generic is.

Uhhh... I don’t think that selling apparel has any impact on your knowledge of the word “generic.”

You said the replica jersey was generic. Generic would imply that there’s nothing setting this jersey apart from other teams and that’s just not true

Unique team colors that help establish which team it is? 

Team wordmark, further establishing an identity? 

Design that isn’t used by another team in the league? 

These jerseys are not generic

Seeing as though the XFL is owned by Vince McMahon, I would not be surprised if the uniforms are "flashy" to the point where most of us will call it ugly. 

Ehhh... Part of me says you’re right, but another part of me is still holding out hope. With how this is being marketed as a more “back to its roots” version of football, I could totally see the uniforms being on the more traditional side with classic triple striping patterns or simple logos on sleeves with no stripes. 

That said, if I’m placing bets I’d still put my money on “flashy to the point most of us will call it ugly.”

Not like a super big deal, just kinda.... odd. I’ve been getting two ads at the bottom of my screen overlapping each other:

Like I said, not something that I’m overly concerned with, it’s just kinda weird 

This one was ugly:

As a Broncos fan, I really want to like this concept, but the double blue just doesn’t do it for me. I’ve seen several different concepts try it, but it doesn’t quite work, in my opinion. I’d suggest picking just one shade (personally, I’d like something about halfway between royal and navy blue). 

Not a change, but an interesting list my school Tweeted out:

Crazy that We were almost the Omaha Unicorns. Kinda makes me wonder how that would’ve been done, like would it be a corn pun? Hol up... heading on over to concepts

I like those last two, especially love the stars on the jerseys, but prefer the one in the current color scheme. The number font seems inspired by UConn’s

Guys, guys, guys...

Why not just agree that some helmets look good with a gray facemask, while others look better with a colored mask? It doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing

Notice anything different?

No. 

Side note: When did this site turn into a guessing game?

They know deaf people can still read, right?

I’m all for unifying across sports, but they chose the wrong gold. Should’ve gone metallic gold across everything 

Huh, I haven’t posted my teams in here so I guess I might as well. 

NFL:

Denver Broncos. They’re my dad’s favorite team and it’s how I was raised. Hell, I was named after Jake Plummer (even though he was at Arizona State when I was born, my dad really wanted him to replace John Elway after his retirement. Lucky he ended up in Denver eventually lol)

MLB:

New York Yankees. There’s no local team in Nebraska so I picked based on who I could watch on TV most often. Sue me. 

NCAA Sports:

UNO Mavericks. I’m at school there now.

Nebraska Cornhuskers. No explanation needed. Always cheer for UNO in head to head matchups though. 

Duke Blue Devils. I was 5 and after school I’d go to my grandparents’ house and when I got there they’d usually be watching reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard (Still one of my favorite TV shows, tbh) and when my dad asked me to fill out a bracket I picked Duke because I associated them with a good TV show. Here we are 14 years later and I’ve picked them 14 of 14 times 

NASCAR:

Always been a Tony Stewart fan. My uncle was too and he was who got me into racing during Tony’s 2005 championship season. Now that he’s retired I still support Stewart-Haas Racing, but for drivers, I’ve followed Chase Elliott since he was running ARCA and Ryan Blaney has such a fun personality that I really like him too. And as much as I hate to admit it, Kyle Busch has really grown on me the last two or three seasons. 

Other things of note:

Can’t get into the NHL. I enjoy watching UNO hockey games in person, but I can’t get myself to watch hockey on TV. 

I’ve moved away from the NBA in recent years. Was a Kobe Bryant fan back in the day, but the whole “super team” era really hurt my interest. I got back in a little more last year when the Lakers had a bunch of fun rookies, but when LeBron signed I jumped ship and haven’t seen a minute of the NBA since. No, I don’t miss it. 

For NCAA teams, I could easily put down a ton more schools if I counted every team I liked to some degree. Hell, I could put half the SEC just from family that went there. 

I’ll be this guy:

Seeing Pitt’s new uniforms, I prefer them in navy blue and metallic gold. It’s what I’ve grown up with and it looks better to me. The royal blue and athletic gold isn’t bad, but I’d rather it be a one game alt than full time

Both of these two are young and have the majority of their careers left, barring an unexpected trade or tragic injury, they’ll both spend most of their career in these 

I really don’t know where to put this, but I guess this’ll work. I didn’t think it deserved it’s own thread, but I did want to share it here. If a mod wants to move it to a better place or whatever, do what you see fit.

 I went to the nearby indoor football team’s preseason game last night, the Sioux City Bandits of the Champions Indoor Football. The team they played, the Sioux City Stampede (a semi-pro, unpaid, 11 man outdoor team who just wanted an exhibition game) had an interesting uniform:

Bright yellow jerseys and accents on the helmet and pants. They kinda have a little bit of everything going on if you look for it. The Vikings’ helmet decals recolored and placed backwards to look like bull horns, the team name down the leg, the random rectangle outline on the pants, contrasting nameplates, and if you look closely (sorry I didn’t have a better picture), you can see that they have the Miami Dolphins’ number font. It’s not really a bad uniform, especially for a semi pro team, but it’s definitely an interesting jumble of borrowed elements and catalog ordered designs.

Which begs the question, which is LeBron’s correct jersey?

 

I’d choose Miami’s set, because that’s where he was most successful. If you choose Cleveland, you presumably have to pick the black-sleeved jersey he won a championship in — which is unfortunate. The rest of that set was probably the worst of his two Cavalier tenures. And you’re certainly not going to choose Los Angeles, at least not anytime soon. 

Personally, I’ll always associate him with Cleveland because I feel he should’ve been a Cav for life (but that’s another debate). First thing that comes to mind is the wine and metallic gold with navy accents of his first run there. Second is the other Cavs sets he wore, then Miami. And I don’t care if he plays the next 20 years in Los Angeles, he’ll never be a Laker in my mind

I really don’t know where to put this, so I’m just going with it here... but is anyone else noticing the “next unread topic” no longer shows what that topic is?

Literally just started happening this afternoon. Not really that big of a deal, I just like to know what I’m clicking into. Just sort of curious if anyone else has seen this
