"So they want the Elway Super Bowl look's futuristic flare, the Orange Crush look's traditional stylings, and the brown and gold look's vertical sock stripes?"

"That's what the polls said! Get Nike on the line!"

How long before a "tHaT dOeSn'T lOoK hAlF bAD" comment?

Huh. My mistake then. Interesting that they would bring it back after 3 years of shelving it.

Not to jack the thread...but the NHL has plenty of digital ads on the ice...and I'm not sure anyone's ever reported a problem with white jerseys on areas of white ice where the ad's located.

Ummmmmm, what?.........Does this mean the Packers are bringing back the all-white look? Coulda sworn I heard the Jets game was the only game in an alternate look.

 

Ummmmmm, what? Why would this mean Green Bay is going all-white? They haven't worn that since 2019, and they already have a new Color Rush.

All I want is a Clippers city jersey with Lakers' colors on it. If Nike wants to connect with Los Angeles, that's the way to do it.

Especially that no one said this . You're pathetic, seriously.

Someone did say this, but I'm not going tosearch through 4+ pages for it. That person was incorrect, but they did say it.

But on another note: why are we still rehashing this? @IceCap doesn't like it, you guys do, and that's that, Jack. Agree to disagree and move on.

On the topic of the future of NBA asethetics, I hope Nike loses the contract and adidas or UA picks it up. How likely is that? I'm not sure.

As ussual, Mike McCarthy "McCarthys" the game away.

Take a 35 yard field goal to take the lead? Nah. But go for it on 4th down knowing if you miss, you give one of the clutchest players ever a chance? Sure, why not?

I have no idea who this #34 on my Cowboys is, but he sure can run the ball, so kudos to him.

I'm prepared for a post-game hissy fit from Rodgers, especially after his reciever stopped running on a would-be touchdown.

I think that the explosion of uniform media, for lack of a better term, has tricked people into thinking everything needs to mean something.  Whatever happened to "well we thought this would look good so we did that"?

 

A side effect of this is that people think criticism needs to be deep. Certain NHL fans were insistent on that. "You don't like this jersey? BUT YOU LIKE THIS OTHER THING THAT'S LIKE IT! Explain!"

And it's like... "no man, I just don't like this."

This. Not every uniform choice needs a deep, superficial meaning. Just point out the details that are on the jersey and call it a wrap. There's nothing wrong for liking something because you like it. And there's nothing wrong for disliking something because you don't like it.

I highly doubt that when any of you pick what shirt to wear, your thinking about how the "red threads signify the passionate blood in your veins." You wore it because you liked it and/or it fit the occasion. Simple as that.

Probably for the best.  Unless the pants are white, temas should try not to wear the same (or similar) colored pants as an opponent.  While I doubt the Niners' gold and the Chargers' gold are that close in shade, I can't be mad at LA's choice.

I read the NikeSpeak for all of these and holy  it's bad. 

 

Nike and the NBA need to stop. This is ridiculous. 

The rose on GS's uniforms won't even show up in-game.

Personally, I haven’t noticed that much of a difference besides people posting largely about president Musty over other topics. I don’t think anyone’s going anywhere and within a month or two everyone will be back. 

It's gonna be slow, but Twitter is definitely going to lose their user base. It will be a major adjustment for most people after almost a decade, but there's only 4 situations that can happen:

• Twitter loses it's user base to someone like Mastodon, so they go bankrupt
• Twitter goes bankrupt, thus losing the user base
• Someone actually stands up to Musk and tries to undo some of the damage done.

I think the Panthers helmet would have looked better if it was a different finish.

 

You get the phenomenon of the black edge of the logo being distinct from the rest of the helmet because the decal has a different finish from the helmet shell.

 

Every other blue element either touches white or silver, but the helmet is straight blue-on-black.  The logo being single-colored doesn't help either.

For years twitter users see the and automatically know it's the real deal, coming from the actual celeb/athlete/politician.

 

Until yesterday.

 

Musk made it so anyone with eight freaking bucks can get the , essentially making them appear as someone famous. A lot of ppl are just firing up burner accounts and dropping the $8 for shytes and giggles. Companies are going to stop advertising and celebs could even sue for defamation. It's evolving into total shyteshow over there right now.

The insane part is that by monetizing it, he's actively devaluing what he's trying to monetize. Musk has enacted a plan to slowly but surely tear down the platform he paid 44 billion for.

All it takes is for one buffoon to impersonate an official league account, and Elon will have an Elawsuit on hs hands.

Toronto Raptors

Toronto officially re-added purple back to thier color scheme in 2021, but the only place we saw it was thier 2021 Earned edition. It's about time the Raptors returned to the color scheme that propelled them to a top tier look early on.

Association/Icon: The side panel is cut in the middle to simply (but not subtly) highlight the Raptors chevron, present in almost every iteration of Raps unis, and a staple of their identity as The North.

Statement: The half purple/half black base is a nod to the early 2000s set that Vince Carter made popluar, with the side panel going red/white as a nod to the Canadian flag.

City: Yes, it's corny, and yes, they've done this already (very frequently, too), but what better way to reflect the city of Toronto than with the black and gold of Drake's OVO brand? The pinstripes of the original Barney's return, and the throwback "Toronto" font featured on all of the OVO uniforms returns as well.

What if Detriot took a page out of the NBA's book and went oversimplified?

Actually, if Nike would like to get a little creative with reflective fabrics, the Lions might be a good place for that.

 

Imagine this but instead of green and yellow, Honolulu blue and silver:

 

 

Aaaand maybe a chrome helmet.

Outside of a Color Rush, the Falcons have never worn red pants. Don't see why we need them now, considering the minimal amount of red on the jerseys.

"A dozen BigTen teams wear red and white. Change them all!!!!"

It's college. There are 1000s of teams. You're going to have overlap.

In the NFL, there are 32 teams, and while there is overlap, no 2 teams use the same exact colors and design.

I'll never understand why everyone on these boards thinks that if any two teams look even remotely close to each other on a glace from the corner of your eye, the world will end.

 

Two teams can have similar colors, uniforms, whatever. Especially if they're not even rivals.

 

Each team should do what fits their brand the best. They shouldn't even put an ounce of thought into how similar it looks to another team.

It's not the end of the world, but you would like for teams to be at least a little bit distinguishable from one another. 

I'd rather have this:
