    Wait: when did the Lakers fix their retired jerseys to match the actual style worn by players as opposed to the generic ones?  Not pictured, but even the Mikan one matched the white ones he wore and not a gold one.

    Because it's the Lakers' 75th anniversary, they're wearing MLPS-era throwbacks, and they retired Mikan's jersey a few days after the throwbacks debuted. They took that oppurtunity to update the jerseys, because Mikan in a generic gold jersey wouldn't look right.

  2. Kansas City Chiefs

    Kansas City has been super consistent in terms of their branding, being one of the few teams to never change their logo or have an alternate uniform.

    • However, the black on their logo can serve to be eliminated, as yellow outlines the letters, while red and yellow outline the arrowhead.

    • No changes to the main uniform, 'cuz if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
    • The popular yellow fashion jersey become the Chiefs' first-ever alternate.
    • Throwback is to 1963, the Chiefs first year in KC.

    Not having the white outline on the logo is really annoying. It just doesn't work.

    What will they do when the logo is on a background that is one of the feathers' colors?  An all-white logo on, say, a blue background, wouldn't hit the same.

  4. I like these:

    The consistiency between the helmet stripe, numbers, and pants stripe, the brighter aqua, the smooth, but also block numbers, and the overall simplistic asethetic of these jerseys make them beautiful in my mind. Just replace the helmet logo with a modern version of the 90's one and we've got a winner.

    I wouldn't mind the black and yellow color scheme nearly as much if they used this striping and number/logo treatment. This is a damn good uniform. I can definitely see the reference to the tail of the note logo here. Add this uniform to the pool of sets that should be mocked up in purple/gold/green or purple/light blue/copper.

    Football is a brutal game, Amen. 

     

    It's :censored: like this is why I think the players voting to extend the season was foolish. And getting rid of some practice reps. It's funny, the owners always wind up winning in the end. 

     

    Sucks for Von Miller, though. I have a soft spot for him as the initial number he wore was Number 58 in honor of Derrick Thomas. 

    While I agree with the sentiment, Miller's injury is rather common and really has nothing to do with the length of the schedule. Getting rid of the 4th preseason game? Maybe. But he got hurt in Week 12.

     

    There's aslo the fact that human bodies were not designed and are not equppied to sustain this much physical activity (especially direct contact) over the course of 5 months, but I'll leave that for another debate.

    Not a fan of that new style mountain jersey design. The mountain rendering looks too generic and lazy being layered like that, and there shouldn't be any black. Gimme copper and sky blue.

     

    There was a Jazz mountain jersey prototype or some mixtape-edition design circulating around that was much better than this.

    I always thought that purple, sky blue and kelly green would be a great option for them. All these colours are deeply connected within the Jazz' history and I think it could create a very Utah'ish look.

     

    So basically just take the Mardi Gras colours and replace yellow with sky blue.

     

    Nah.

    Why is this not a good idea? The Lakers have worn this colour combo briefly as a one-off alternate, and it's essentially a simplified version of the '90s Jazz colours.

    It needs copper. The Kings (and Lakers, sadly) both use purple and black, and they also both used to use powder blue, so they both wear throwback/alternates with that color. SInce 2018, Sacramento & LA have combined for 9 jerseys that use powder blue. 

     

    A third purple, black, and sometimes powder blue team would only add to the confusion, while keeping copper in the mix helps ditinguish them.

     

    *Side note. i'd rather Utah use teal than light blue, but that's just me.

    This is the best looking Cowboys team I've seen in quite a while. They have all the elements of a Super Bowl team and I have 100% faith in the players. It's the coach that scares the hell out of me. I've been down this road with Mike McCarthy. Too many times. But I also think this Cowboys team just might be so good that even Mike McCarthy can't screw it up. They have more than enough talent to beat both their opponents and their coach.  In any case, they're a lot of fun to watch. Seeing them shift into another gear after the Colts got within 2 points was really something. 

    You hit the nail on the head. With a healthy Dak, the only team that can beat this team is themselves. The problem, however, is that Mike McCarthy is one of the worst desicion-makers in the NFL, and he doesn't even call plays. His clock management is among the worst in the league (see 2021 NFC WC vs SF) , he loves to go for it on 4th even well within FG range (see 2022 WK 10 @ GB), and I haven't seen him do anything that contributes to winning. 

     

    However, this team is so prolific on both sides of the ball that we haven't put ourselves in those kinds of critical situations (outside of the stupid Packers game). That second half was the best 2 quarters of football I've have watched in my entire life. After realizing that they couldn't sleepwalk to a win against Indy, they way the flipped the switch was incredible.
