  1. Maybe try just outlining what you have now (RWR) in navy? You may have to play with the wordmark coloring to really get it but I think that more even distribution will help tie the set together, especially when the alt is navy.
  2. A great, classy set for the US! The one thing I'd like to see is blue in the sleeve stripes, especially on the road uniform. So many of your striping patterns have been inspired by flags and I think the US is a team that can get away with not doing that and instead lean towards "classic baseball" as their vibe.
  3. The logo could use some tweaks IMO but I don't think they'll change it. I'm for us switching to blue as our primary jersey color so that we can own that look and set ourselves apart from the NFC South. My ideal set would have blue helmets to truly create a unique look for the team but I'm ok with white/blue/white.
  4. I would be totally ok with white/blue/white being our look. I'd imagine some kind of blackout color rush would be the alt.
  5. Love to nod to the red numbers, but what if only the TV numbers were red? Kind of a nod to how only the front number is red. It would also help legibility on the blue jersey.
  6. Not sure how much you've heard about the Panthers but - are the Panthers' draft hats placeholders or are they keeping the color scheme?
  7. The orange cap was great for the Marlins and it was great for the Astros. Both teams' insistence on not using those caps made their overall identity worse.
  8. Isn't that what all Pepsi logos are?
  9. As much as I do appreciate limiting the amount of jerseys a team can have, the 4+1 rule seems to be causing more trouble than it's really worth.
  10. That one off-colored sleeve is super clever and a great, unique element for Pakistan to own. You're continuing to release great works, keep it up!
  11. So you'll notice the sentence after what you highlighted where I say I don't have any faith in them to do that.
  12. +1 on the "be careful what you wish for" in the Panthers camp. If I see any "cat scratch" striping then you can throw the entire thing in the garbage. There's not much that needs to be changed. I'd rather they keep the silver than drop it if it means keeping some semblance of the classic set. There's a reason the team hasn't changed before and they shouldn't make too drastic of a change now. I'm hoping that Charlotte FC's emphasis on blue means the team will finally make the change to blue primaries. We can (and almost certainly will) keep the all-black for primetime games but blue primaries would go a long way in endearing me to the set. The Panthers need to avoid two key pitfalls: stripeless pants and blank, pants-matching socks. I don't have any faith they actually will but if they do then I can't be too upset.
  13. That's not romaji - romaji is for "spelling out" Japanese words using the Latin alphabet (i.e. 野球 being written as yakyuu). What NPB teams use is just, well, English. If, for example, the BayStars were to use romaji, the front would read Beisutaazu. They also don't use romaji for nameplates because foreign players' names are spelled "correctly" and not as they would be if they were read using Japanese syllables. I'm actually glad that Japan, Korea, China, et al. use English lettering because I think it feels up space much better than writing them in their native languages would. Those East Asian languages are very short and honestly I don't think a jersey with a massive 日 on one side and 本 on the other would look as good as their current jerseys do (or good at all, even).
  14. NHL expands to 36: Atlanta, Houston, Quebec City, Hamilton. I think that works out nicely for everyone involved.
  15. Currently it feels like a steep price but if the QB we draft works out then this will be worth it. Losing DJ stings a lot but I'm coping by saying that it helps save cap space and that WRs are easier to find than QBs. My only fear is that we return to the Cam era, where we had an elite QB surrounded by absolutely nothing. Very high-risk, high-reward. Personally I have Stroud at 1, Young a close 2, Richardson 3, and Levis a distant 4. Either Stroud or Young would be a great pick for me. Excited for the draft!
  16. Japan historically uses "JAPAN" on their jerseys. Same with Korea and China - you just don't normally see non-Latin based languages on baseball jerseys. Besides, Victor has made a set that says「日本」and it's the pink alternate.
  17. I love Brazil! The green and yellow jerseys are, in particular, gorgeous. I think the only thing I'd like to see is a little more green on the home jersey. I know you're trying to keep the collar and sleeves the same color but maybe making the collar green? It would pair nicely with the flag on the sleeves in my opinion.
  18. The updated Japan is better! As a matter of personal preference I would keep it gold but as it is I think this is a good way to include pink without it being overbearing.
  19. But, importantly, the shade of blue the Panthers use isn't Carolina Blue - to avoid alienating Duke fans. The shade selected, called "Panthers blue" or "Process Blue" by Pantone, was selected specifically to be in between UNC's powdery Carolina Blue and Duke's royal blue.
  20. The Hurricanes are an example of a team, in my opinion, that will never look good, and it starts top-down. The name "Hurricanes" doesn't lend itself to sports imagery nicely and was likely chosen so that the colors of red and black would match NC State and not for any particular reason related to Raleigh or the Carolinas. Their best jersey is obviously their first set but even then I don't really like the inclusion of silver and the italicized name and number font is hard to make work well. Since then, the team has continued to make changes for the sake of making changes, including the baffling red and white set from 2013 (that didn't match the road jersey). The 2017 home set was better but still an inferior version of the '90s set due to the sublimated warning flags (although I actually prefer the color balance here) and still kept the old road jerseys. The alternate uniform sucks, I don't even hate the logo, but the gray yoke and boring striping make this set a bad alternate (and a worse primary). The new road jersey has awful diagonal text instead of the primary crest and is again missing lots of black and still doesn't match the home uniform. This year when they dropped the old red set for the terrible black jerseys and then brought back better uniforms as their alternate just proves to me the team has no clue what to do with the brand. In fact, the only good design decision they've made since 2017 was trying red helmets with the white sweater. I just don't think you're ever going to get a good brand out of the red/black Hurricanes. Even their best uniforms have problems and they're just another red and black NHL team. Maybe a quality brand could exist with the name "Carolina Hurricanes" but certainly not one with a red and black color scheme. They should've leaned more into the 90s and gone with a more out-there scheme, matching NC State be damned. Teal in particular I think would've been a great inclusion. Now, however, the team has spent 25 years as the Hurricanes and nothing about the brand is going to change. In my opinion, the best this team can hope for is a good set of uniforms and can never truly be great because of the decisions made when the franchise first moved.
  21. I'm not really feeling the pivot to pink for Japan. Yeah they have used navy and red before, but recently they've focused on a navy and gold color scheme which is unique and also the historic scheme for a very historic team. The pink pinstripes on the gray jersey are not great - they're hard to see. The number font is quite nice, I like the pullover alternate you have. The calligraphy-inspired set is not my favorite but I do like it. Using pink as a base works really well, better than I thought it would. I actually don't really care for the pink hat, I think the navy cap would serve perfectly for every jersey.
  22. Hmm, not huge on the wordmark here. I like the design but the wordmark is kinda space age in a bad way? The lack of a crossbar feels very amateur. I know it matches their cap logo but the cap logo just sucks. There's no two ways around it, haha. The jerseys themselves are really nice, I like the green one especially. As for the pins-less Argentina, I love it! The whole set feels much more balanced.
  23. These are beautiful! The powder blue + navy combo is excellent and I love the lettering. I think the only thing I would change is dropping the pinstripes on the powder set, I think it busies up the uniform and it creates an overabundance of white compared to navy. I would also like to see caps with these jerseys if possible. Nice work, I can't wait to see the rest of what you've got!
  24. I can't believe that out of everything that remained from this set, the second and third worst part (second worst being the logo on the pants and the third worst being the silver helmet and its stupid stripes) stuck around. The worst part is the silver numbers on the blue jersey. Beyond that, I actually don't hate what these jerseys are trying to do. I wouldn't even mind the black sleeve stripe on the end of the sleeve if it had an outline to match the shoulder hoop. The whole thing definitely needed revision (contrasting TV numbers? Really?) but I wish they had stuck with the blue jersey being the primary color. Either way, the cleaned-up set they went with is still better than this and remains a modern classic.
  25. I did like the fading checker-style red stripe but I actually think this is a big upgrade. The new font is especially nice. At the worst, it's a sidegrade for me.
