Side by side really highlights what an upgrade the new Lions home jersey is. The brighter blue and actual silver are so much livelier.

Is the zag on the Broncos jersey supposed to be a mountain peak? I can't make heads or tails of it.

Apparently the state fossil of Utah is the Allosaur. Wouldn't mind some more dinosaurs in professional sports.

Browns changed colors as well according to X-

 

The brown does not remain unchanged.

Please be a plural noun that's not a meme from a bad 2010 movie.

And...

 

I'd prefer the version without the gold outlines on the name and numbers. Hate how it makes them look fuzzy from a distance. Optionally cleaning up the Northwestern stripes too, but that doesn't bother me as much.

And +1 to bringing back the UCLA stripes on the whites. Damn striping consistency.

Surprised how popular the US kit is. Way too many stripes in too small a space. And the blue split is better in theory than execution.

Love the logo for Montreal, I think the sublimation in the stripes makes the whole look a bit too busy.

The Rangers remind me of the previous Twins set. 

I hated that set.

And to repeat my earlier point (which by now is buried two pages deep into this current avblackjacking), it's the chroma of those colors that's the problem. One or the other needs to be adjusted up and the other the opposite way to create better separati—umm, contrast between both. 

This drives me crazy about multiple sports teams. Your colors should occupy different parts of the luminance spectrum so that they properly contrast.  A uniform should be readable first and foremost.

Bomb Pop but it started melting.

I mean, the team is nicknamed the Loons, but it is officially named Minnesota United. The star connection doesn't seem crazy when the state motto is Star of the North. There's at least some connective tissue, although I can understand the consistency argument. Could've done a loon wing constellation.

The smaller name is definitely harder to read. Not a fan at all, I think it looks terrible and cheap.

The 2.5 inch (maybe even 2 inch?) NOBs look super amateur and unbalanced with the numbers. All I can see is all the empty space left over.

He'll pull down your pants but he won't eat the rich, is that Neutral Good?

I'd argue Gritty is Chaotic Neutral and the Phanatic is Chaotic Good.

It's nice to see the DC logo being used. Everything else, pass.

Honolulu Blue vs Niners Red would be a great color-on-color matchup in the NFCCG, if only the NFL allowed such things.

Imagine if a historical franchise like Montreal or something used the letter of the team name on their jersey.

Hi, would you like to talk about our Lord and Savior the Portland Airport carpet?

That logo always gives me strong Generic Create-A-Team vibes.

This really helped reconcile me to no green on the flag:

But Kaye said the green didn't work because it was too dark and didn't contrast enough with the dark blue on the left.

 

He also thought the green of forests and rural areas it was celebrating wasn't unique to Minnesota.

 

"Although Minnesotans love their verdant nature, it is not distinctive for Minnesota; nearly every state has green nature," said Kaye, who lives in Oregon.

The state name means water, we're known for our lakes and rivers, the Mississippi starts here: Minnesota is distinct because of its water, not its vegetation.

I'm glad they went with a less is more approach. I agree that will help it age better, and I think in a few years it will be more widely and enthusiastically appreciated, especially once flags start popping up and people see them in the real world. Just look at the Twins; there was some criticism at first that the rebrand was overly simplistic, but a year later most people agree they look great.

Really hate perforated numbers. 

Don't San Franciscans generally not like "San Fran"?  And it feels odd to have a nickname on a classic look jersey.

First thought was Iowa City.

I've been really missing those UCLA stripes the past few months. Especially with the thick pant stripes it's a muscular look.
