Attendance is not make or break short-term wise. Obviously they will eventually need to be able to eventually sustain a crowd, but comparing their numbers to other first-year spring leagues are irrelevant, because the USFL was not worried about attendance last year.

Not bad. definitely better than last years. The red-to-yellow is a nice callback to the RedRock jersys, and significantly better than the blue-to-black jersey.

Please remeber that the USFL is owned by Fox and was made to intitally be a TV-based league, so in-person attendance is not a make-or-break deal for them.

It's unfeasable (and almost physically impossible) forNBA player to play 6 times a week. Baseball doesn't involve that much direct physical contact (along with constant running and jumping) that baskeball does, which allows them to play more games. The load management problem you see now would be 10x worse if NBA players played an MLB schedule, not to mention all the health concerns. Sure, it's useless, but so is making up concepts about purple Bulls uniforms. They aren't going to happen, but it's fun to at least imagine or speculate. I'd prefer to not do that, so let's leave this part here. Players from other leagues also play different sports which have diifferent physical effect on the human body. If you want to compare today's NBA players to the 1990's NBA players, sure. but it's nonsense to hold players of one sport to a standard of a different sport. They didn't sign up to play 180+ games. They signed up to play 82, and now they're realizing that it's beneficical for both them and the common fan to play 72. Players don't just load manage becuase it's fun. It's called "load managment" because they are literally managing the load of a long season. Shorten the season, and there will be less of a load, which means--gasp--less load managment. Now there will still be outlires like Kawhi who just won't play, but majority of NBA players would load mannage less on a shorter schedule.

Looks nice, but I'd rather have the team named the Browns be the only team using brown.

That's not what I said. What i siad was basketball is just as physically tollingas other sports. And none of the Big 4 sports have players risking their lives. The chances of Damar Hamlin's injury ever happening again are nearly one-in-a-million. Everything had to line up perfectly for that to happen to him. The mere notion that players "risk their lives" in any sport is absurd. Either you're being exteremely hyperbolic or you're just an idiot. So I disagreed with you, and now my whole point is irrelevant because (in your opinion, mind you) it's not going to happen? Wow. This is like middle-school level thinking right here. You couldn't come up with a counterpoint, so you tried to cancel out my valid point. We fantasize on these very boards what certain teams would look like if they changed their look. (heck, we have a whole Concepts section). That part of the boards are not irrelevant just because it is unlikley. This is what Van Gundy had to say: You twisted his words and ended up with this: "Practiced more than they do now" does not equal "no practices at all". And about that common sense bit: what? Using your common sense, MLB, NHL, and NFL players risk thier lives, while NBA players complain about light contact. Is that common sense?

Ignoring the stereotypical "No defense! Analytics suck! I hate interweb! 90s was better!" part of this, just because other sports are more physically tolling does not mean that basketball isn't. NBA players should not be judged by NFL standards because, well, they don't play in the NFL. Just because they aren't dying to to brain damage does not mean that playing basketball at the highest level on the planet is not physically tolling. Shortening the schedule has many benefits, including: lessing the players' injury risk, by having them play less games, therefore less wear and tear. increasing the value of the product, so when John from OKC pays $300 to see Steph come into town, he isn't stuck watching Jordan Poole. Increasing ratings, for having a shorter schedule mean they can likely move out of the (eyeball machine that is the) NFL's way. And just a quick question: have you ever played at the NBA level? What gives you the right to say those players don't work as hard as say, MLB players, whose sport doesn't involve a lot of physical contact? Where are you getting your information from?

They could definitely own that, since as you mentioned no one else uses it, and it also is on-brand for them as it matches the double outilned logo. I've always wondered what the cowboys would look like if they wore these full time:

Leave the silvers alone, but just use one shade of blue. that's all I ask of them. The mismatching pants have become part of their lore, but the blues need to be streamlined.

I once watched a video about an NBA fan who entered "fan free agency". * I'm going to do the same. I've only been a Cowboys fan for the last 5 years, but i can tell this franchise is going nowhere anytime soon. I don't even know who to blame this time. Everyone who didn't line up on defense needs to go. I've been a Dak supporter since the start, but this Jameis Winston impression is just baffling. On top of that, both him and Zeke swindled Jerry Jones into extremely large deals that handicap the rest of the roster, which lead to losing Amari Cooper and Randy Gregory. I'm done. I'm want to root for a team where the expectations set for the season are realistically based on the roster and not pipe dreams. I want a team where the topic of discussion is the future and not the past. I want a team that dissapoints normally and not in comedic ways. Given that I lived in Central FL and witnessed the Jaguars' 2017 AFCCG run, then watched Trevor Lawrence in college in SC, i'm leaning towards becoming a Jaguars fan. But if anyone on the boards can convince me to join their side, I'd be happy to oblige. My NFL fandom free agency period has offically opened. *EDIT: here is an article about him: https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/blazers-flying-lifelong-fan-from-ny-to-portland-for-game-3-of-series-vs-denver/283-d55e2b56-007b-401a-84ca-387485c30cdb

San Francisco vs. Philadelphia Cincinnati vs. Kansas City

While I definitley agree with you that with modern uniform cuts, utilizing the shoulder area is vastly superior, part of me wishes that the sleeves were long enough to do the above, just to keep consistency with the originals from the 20th century. It's unfeasable now, and despite not beling alive in this era, I wish we could see these sleeve designs once more.

If only they sleeves were long enough for teams to fit the numbers AND stripes on the sleeve again...

My only thing with this premise is that they would need to make the cuffs on the white jersey teal to match. My OCD won't let this slide. On here the cuffs and neck-stripe-thing match the pants, with just enough teal to not be confused with the Raiders. Here, however, there is no teal on the white jersey except for the swoosh. The cuffs do not match the pants. If they do this, the road jersey is a proper inverse of the home jersey, as all uniforms should be.

The Chiefs use it as an outline only to distingush the shape when on a white background. The 49ers designed the oval with black in it.

Unpopular opinion, but this uniform is much better than the classics. Remove the logo from the sleeve and you've got what i believe San Fran should be wearing. It makes good use of the black in the logo, combines the fan-favorite throwbacks with the iconic, recognizable classic look. I love these:

Ironically I was the one a few months ago who was staunchly opposed to Baltimore adding red, but I've definitely come around on the idea.

Jacksonville vs. Kansas City New York vs. Philadelphia Cincinnati vs. Buffalo Dallas vs. San Francisco

I personally feel like three colors is hard enough to work with in the NFL (Jags, Bucs, Titans, ect.) so four would be near impossible to balance properly. The above concept is nice, but it makes the swoosh an intentional design element, which is a no-go in my book. What if the Ravens were to drop black and use dark purple, gold and red? It would keep the core of purple and gold (without stepping on the toes of Minnesota), keep the "gothic" feel, and refresh the look with a color commonly found in the state flag.

Some uniform "rules don't work accross the board, and trying to fir every proverbial square peg into round holes gives you hot takes like these. The lesson? You can have your opinions, but they should be preferences that you share and not rules you think should be imposed upon everyone else.

They've done it before. What? Inverting colors on stripes is not a new striping 'pattern', it's the same pattern with different colors. The pattern is A/B/A. The Bills just swapped colors to keep the pattern visible on the blue pants. Also, the Pats throwbacks have the "same pattern" accoprding to your logic; red/white/blue/white/red. but according to you, that's still a bad look.

This was yesterday right before the CIN/BAL game:

I get taking a jab at your opponent, but "NY's Favorite Team?" Is there some context that I'm missing, cuz I don't understand where that would come from. Also: the Vikings didn't win a close game? Wow, I'm shocked. I really believed this was the year they made the long-awaited postseason run with their Elite (shoutout to Flacco) QB, Kirk "Icy" Cousins. Who knew they were frauds? /s

If Dallas' flat silver pants had a little more blue in them, I"d never want to see the white jersey again. not as much blue as the home pants, but something other than plain light grey.
