I’m fine with Yetis.  Just don’t make it a super cartoony logo.  
 

 

Too bad they couldn't just rip off the Av's old shoulder patch and play around with that idea

I also like that common black silhouette of a bigfoot that you see on t shirts and stickers. There could be a cool crest formulated with that

Best looking division in football has got to be the NFC North. I would say the AFC West would tie them if Denver would have just given the people what they wanted a couple of days ago.

Rams “modern classic” white jersey

Bring back the old horn on the helmet and shoulders, lose the shiny material on the numbers/shoulder horn, and make the pants stripe blue-white-blue, and then yeah, I think you would be right. 

I personally don't care for the shade of yellow either, but i could live with that if the above was changed.

I agree that it's more cohesive, but I don't like the look of pants and socks being the same color to begin with. I also think this isn't a fashion trend, so much as hiding uniform violations for sock length. Whatever you think of the NFL's dress code, it still exists.

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.

Really is a bummer lions removed the stripes from the blue pants. If they had kept stripes on em and removed the white pants (or added stripes) they are getting A+ (even if they don’t get rid of plain white socks).

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.

Now all I want to see is a white bull-horn helmet with a blue horn on the right and a red horn on the left.

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

The only real criticism people seemed to have with the Texans' soon-to-be previous uniforms was that they were "boring" and "generic". So the Texans' response is to make their new home uniform even more boring and generic... but with worse numbers. Fantastic.

 

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.

I could get on board with the Utah Screaming Eagles.

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.

The leaked Texans primary is interesting as I can't see anyone being happy with it. Not in a condescending way or that it's so horrid, but there have been so many different routes people have wanted the Texans to go, and this won't satisfy anyone.

 

More red to stand out from the rest of the division? No, even less of it.

 

Lighter blue to lean into Oilers sentiment? Not either.

 

More modern and unique? Barely.

 

Did you think the current was fine (honestly valid take)? Well now it's gone.

 

Unless you think the new number font is great or think that redundant sleeve logos is the best thing to exist, then it's just a step back in every way. I don't think it's terrible, but it's got nothing going for it other than "could maybe be worse?"

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.

The Texans' old uniforms were as boring, mediocre, and anonymous as their play on the field for 99% of the time they were in use. Frankly, the horn stripes from the new set are the kind of thing they should have done all along instead of ripping off USC.

 

The new uniforms might be "trying too hard" (I don't think so) but the old ones weren't trying at all. They finally have a real identity now.

 

The only thing I don't like is neither of the home jerseys matching the road and alternate, but that's nothing we haven't already seen countless times in the NFL.

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 would be absolutely poetic if the Texans set turned out to be even worse than the Titans set

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

The Cardinals are unveiling their CC on May 20, and debuting them May 25.  This is going to be bad.

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

This might end up being a case of "careful what you wish for," but I'm kind of ready for a new Lions set. I have never really loved this current set, even when they use the right combos. Not a fan of the slanted numbers. I also want more white involved in the color scheme instead of primarily gray/silver with the Honolulu blue. If you look at the balance that the Barry Sanders era had, I think the white numbers and inner pant stripe really helped with that. 

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.

Alright, since I've been talking about it forever, I ran a quick & dirty mock-up of my ideal Falcons uniform with Dark Silver helmet (sans Gold):

 

Add a Gold outline to the helmet stripe, logo, and the Swoosh & accessory details (like on cleats) if you wanted to go that route.  Either way, this would do it. 

 

(I wouldn't even be completely heartbroken if they added a small 1" tall "ATLANTA" above the number in a clean new non-italic font.)

That's fantastic

Like the logo like the one seen on this hat -- This goes 1000000x harder than that blank-ass circa 1989 default helmet they continue to recycle.

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.

What are people feeling for colors?

Green and yellow like the Eagles? Will this annoy the Minnesotans??

Something purple to tie it to the Jazz? Seems we'd be the only purple squad.

I've always felt green and orange was an underused "Utah" color scheme, but I understand how it could be more polarizing.

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.

Well, edibles are marketed and sold to professional classes for whom weed is no longer a taboo, not the people of the street. Plus old habits die hard. Smoking all sorts of things in public is a societal annoyance that's nothing new though. 

 

(Also, side effect of legalization is that corporate dispensary weed suuuucks. It's like if we ended Prohibition, but the only legalized alcohol was Bud Light, and half the bottles came out of the brewery flat.)

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.

They're incredible and some of my favorites, but Homage is softer I think...

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

Honestly, the Cardinals new uniforms do have a nice classic and timeless feel to them. It has everything anyone would want out of a football uniform. Every component by itself is very well done. Whether or not they decide to mix and match and not go monochrome for 17 games a season is on them.

1 minute ago, Sec19Row53 said:

I'll grant you classic if it were a college or high school uniform, because the aesthetic of nickname or location on the front of a football uniform is not a classic NFL aesthetic.

 

Totally agree on your monochrome statement.

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.

I’d welcome an inverted version of this Cowboys helmet. White star and stripes, navy blue base.

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.
