Yes, just for the record, my personal preference is pants stripes and contrasting socks in most scenarios. It just seems like this isn't going away anytime soon. When I look at that Texans mono-red uniform, that pants stripe bothers the hell out of me. Again, ideal scenario is navy socks and that fixes everything. But, it's hard for me to bash the lions new pants for not having a stripe, when i know deep down they are going to mono them anyway. I would almost rather have plain pants in that scenario. Again JMO. The stripe is almost jarring to me when the pants are paired with the same color sock.

This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but with teams doing the mono-color pants/socks look, blank pants bother me less. Say the lions wore blue pants and blue socks on gameday... I actually think it looks worse when there are pants stripes versus blank pants. The leotard look bothers me so much more when i see a pants stripe just end but the pants color continues, if that makes sense.

That is one creative idea right there... I want to see that now too

Completely agree. I feel like the one thing that people were sort of excited about was the use of the old Oiler blue. And even that seems like its barely used and paired with a horrendous helmet.

Literally the only part of this set that I like is the jersey. The helmets are a downgrade. That stripe is so forced and I hate the 5280 on the front. The pants might be fine if they had contrasting socks, but in these photos I'm not a fan of the look.

nice suggestion! I honestly like that a lot

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I like the silver, white, purple combo of that Vikings jersey. The icicle numbers are not my favorite element, though. If this was just a straight recolor from their home/away set, I think I would actually dig it as an alternate. I'm also guessing that their alternate helmet will be white? Part of me wants to already hate it because of the "icy" twitter stuff, but I am finding that I kind of like the idea of this specifically because it is for Minnesota and it is actually a cold weather state

Dallas is strange. I feel like they still haven't figured out the right look since moving from Minnesota. The closest is probably the star hemmed jersey from the Modano era. This is revisionists history.... but with the Dallas Cowboys (using a star logo) and now the Houston Texans (star in the the bull's eye), and the Texas flag, wouldn't it have made sense for them to lean more into a Lonestar type look than hanging onto shreds of the Minnesota era? I mean, it couldn't have been a better fit. I also feel like green has just never made sense for a Texas team. And recently they have brightened it, and now with the neon jersey it just feels super forced. In general, I like their color scheme, but it just doesn't feel like a Dallas team.

Great post. Somehow this was exactly what I was thinking, but couldn't put it into words.

This might be waaaay to broad of a stroke, but I just tend to hate any uniform that is designed with an "urban" feel. It just tends to come out borderline cheesy to me. This fits the bill as well.

There is a joke somewhere here with Yeti cups and Stanley cups and the Stanley Cup... haha someone smarter than me can come up with it.

I don't think you are wrong about their last set, but I disagree on this new set (if the leaks are true). Personally they just went from a super boring identity to a super cheesy identity overnight.

It's as if both franchises are fighting to be Guy Fieri's favorite team, and his favorite colors happen to be navy, red, and powder blue

I've never been more petrified of a new uniform for one of my hometown teams.

I posted this a few weeks ago and it looks like I got my wish! These new jerseys just look very balanced. Love them. And I think adding white really helps with that balance. Great work Detroit.

That's fantastic

Part of the beauty of the Browns is that they make almost no sense. A team called the Brown with an orange helmet, an weird elf mascot, the dog pound, etc. The helmet logo just fits with the rest of the weirdness. As others have said, all teams used to use a 2D helmet as their primary logo pretty much. I personally dig that the Brown still do it.

I am kind of hoping for brown as a base color. Like a brown/yellow or brown/orange color scheme with a rich brown being the true primary color. Something like Wyoming football's color balance.

Really?? I used to smoke a ton in college. Like all day every day. I don't really care for it at all anymore, but the few times I have smoked anything from a legal dispensary, it kicked my teeth in That might just tell you what kind of dirt grass I was smoking back in the day I guess.

Nice! I'll have to make that my next purchase. Thanks for the tip

I actually really like the Cardinals new set. All they need to do is throw away the red pants and the white socks. The only combos they need are white helmet - red jersey - white pants - red socks at home/white helmet - white jersey - white pants - red socks on the road. It would look like a modern set of their traditional uniforms from AZ and STL. The elements are there. They just aren't paired right.

Dallas alt helmet idea: a royal blue star outlined in black, with navy blue stripes, and a helmet shell that has a gradient from seafoam green to true silver. Just make everyone's heads on this board completely explode I like your idea though.

Please no one touch 47 brand. One of my favorite brands in the world. Their stuff has gotten a bit overpriced, but what hasn't. I love their hats and their shirts are probably the softest on the planet.

That would really be best case scenario and I would be perfectly fine with that. I am fine with a traditional classy home/away set with a slightly more modern alternate design. And if the Broncos roll out a traditional home and away paired with an alternate of white helmet/orange mountain jersey, that would be okay in my book.

The Colts would not look better. I know that for sure
