There are easy fixes for both those issues: Remove the TV numbers and make the helmet royal blue. Would be absolutely perfect and take little effort.

All this Texans set needs is consistency across the board and a less wonky number font, as demonstrated below. If they could do that, it'd be a damn good uniform set. Maybe not better than the previous set, but definitely more expressive.

Texans set is actually quite nice, pretty inoffensive overall. Definitely would love it a lot more if the home matched the away and red alt, but what's here isn't quite worth getting upset over. The primary home is the only big disappointment in my book; the away and alt are slick and modern without being over-the-top and the H-town alt isn't too flashy either, even if the helmet logo is pretty bad. The all-red helmet with the horns looks awesome, love it as an alternate look. Hope to see white pants or the typical navy helmet with that set at some point. I'm mostly just thrilled to see contrasting pants and socks on the standard home and away combos. That is huge. Not my favorite set in the league, maybe a lil bland at times, but definitely gives the Texans more personality. I'd give it a B+, would be an A with a better number font and horns on the home jersey.

I spy contrasting pants, at the very least. The Lions don't need a black alternate, but at least it's not full monochrome black.

Top row far left as primary and 3rd row far right as secondary. All they need. They'd be set for life. It really is that simple.

Could just be my bias as a Pats fan but I’ve never cared for the Jets’ classic massive shoulder stripe look. Something about having that much white space on a home jersey feels wrong to me, but it looks fine on the away set. The logo that comes with that set is hot garbage, the shade of green is hopelessly drab, and the white helmet feels far more bland than a green one. I don’t think the Sack Change set is perfect, but it works a lot better as a uniform set in my book, even if the Jets weren’t as successful in it. I’m fine with moving to them full time so long as monochrome is avoided. The updated logo suite is absolutely perfect, the exact modernization of a classic logo that the Jets desperately need. Gets an A+ in that department.

Still looks like the Lions' helmet to me, perhaps before the satin finish is applied. I think you're grasping at straws here, especially considering this light blue helmet helmet doesn't make a later appearance in the video, and the Lions' blue helmet does, but no other blue shell is shown.

It’s titled as a behind-the-scenes look for the 2023 alternate helmets. The blue helmet you’re seeing looks to me like the Lions’ alternate Honolulu blue helmets that they wore last year.

Falcons : I tried it, like how it looks, but feel like it should stay as a once-in-a-while option that takes a backseat to black and silver. Panthers: Tried this also, wasn't much of a fan. The logo (both the current and the concept I used) just doesn't really work well on a blue background with all the blue detailing, and I like the idea of the Panthers leaning more heavily on black than the blue. Seahawks: Tried a silver helmet too, just doesn't work as well in my book. Throws off the color balance of the rest of the set. Cardinals: It'd work, but it might be a bit too busy in the shoulder cap area compared to the simplicity of the rest of the set. I considered doing a lil sunray pattern instead of stripes, but I prefer the stripes.

It has been far too long since I’ve added anything to this thread, so I thought I’d post a lil mini-dump of NFL concepts I’ve made recently. A few of these have already made appearances in NFL news threads, but they deserve to be added to the official thread just for kicks and giggles. Cardinals I tried to balance the modern elements of the current set with more consistent striping and the addition of a sandy grey color to replace their existing silver detailing. Gone are the mismatched home/away designs, stripeless pants, and sleeve wordmarks. Falcons Red helmets and black jerseys are my personal favorite look for the Falcons, as it gives them a burst of color to set them apart from the other black and metallic NFC South teams. Silver pants are thrown in just to be different; I’d be equally fine with white pants. An angled, aggressive stripe inspired by the logo and some angled block numbers make up the jersey. Panthers I’ve got two helmet options for Carolina, silver and black. Uniform is largely the same, save for a new number font and tweaked stripe applications across the set. Black helmets options are paired with electric blue pants for a more striking look, while silver helmet options retain the traditional pant selections. Logo concept used is by the great CJ Zilligen. @CJworks Rams The rams need to go back to a simpler, more traditional version of what they currently wear. I like the simple rounded shoulder stripes of the Steven Jackson-era 2000’s look, but vastly prefer the vibrant royal and yellow color scheme. Thin detailing has been added to the helmet horns and striping for a bit more pop. I kept the current wordmarks. Logo concept used is by the great Fraser Davidson. @Davidson Seahawks For the Seahawks, I like a handful of the hyper modern elements of the current set but feel it goes a bit over the top and places and is ruined by monochrome combos. My redesign tweaks the shades of green and blue to feel a bit more classy, but still undeniably bold. Jersey elements have been retooled to work better as a stripe, but retain their unique flair. I flirted with the idea of grey away jerseys, and still quite like the idea, but a white jersey is probably a more reasonable choice. That's all I have for now, I hope to come back to this again sooner rather than later. Made in Affinity Designer. C&C appreciated.

Make one, (simple text or a personal logo can suffice) reduce the opacity down to about 5-10%, slap it on top of an image, export the image with watermark added on top. It's that simple.

Not terribly surprised that it's more ownership and focus groups driving the bad ideas forward and not the guys who work for Nike. I'd imagine the people passionate enough about uniform design to make it onto Nike's design team probably have more traditional taste then we give them credit for. Sounds like a tough position to be in from the designers' perspective, forced to pump out bad ideas at the whims of rich higher-ups who don't know what good design looks like. Sounds miserable sometimes. I imagine they get ecstatic when a team that gets it (like the Chargers, for example) let them work their magic. I'd love to be on a uniform design team one day, but man would I not want to deal with that nonsense.

Love this logo refresh for UNH. I was just at UNH for a rugby tournament last weekend, couldn’t help but notice how stilted the wildcat head logo was, with the mouth rendered at 3/4 view and the rest of the head at profile view. Very nice refresh, uniforms look excellent. I’m adoring this series so far, love seeing all the small schools—especially the ones from my home state—get some love. All the logo redesigns have been stellar. Makes me wanna give hockey concepts a try.

I don't think it'd be wise to assume the girl intended to ruin his life. It could be she simply assumed he was involved considering his teammates raped her and she had already had sex with him. It’s absolutely a shortsighted assumption to make when such drastic consequences are on the line, but not in itself an unreasonable conclusion from her perspective. I'd personally like to give gang rape victims the benefit of the doubt and not assume her intentions were malicious. Does it suck that Araiza got unfairly roped into the accusations, and that could have ruined his career? Absolutely. It'd be equally sucky to not extend the same 'innocent until proven guilty' logic towards the intentions of a damn gang rape victim.

For the record, Araiza (who was accused of being involved in a gang rape) is very likely innocent and was unfairly accused. If there were any proof that he was involved, I’d be the first to say he should rot in jail for the rest of his life and never see a football field ever again. That is not the case. Unfortunate that he got caught up in it, though not nearly as unfortunate as what happened to that poor girl. I hope she gets justice.
