Seeing this side by side, you are right on the money about the double mountain stripe. Something about that really hammers home the mountain idea. And with that black stripe, the black equipment works. I was on the fence on the equipment color change, but you may have just won me over with this post with caveat that the jerseys also revert back to the original design.

I don't blame you here. I don't love the blue either at least with the current color balancing of the rest of the uniform. But, I also don't think black is the answer either. They don't need a complete overhaul. Just some tweaks (especially on the road set) to make the blue equipment work. The blue pants just look strange with the road set. They look just as out of place as black equipment would. I kind of feel like they need to decide if they want to be primarily an icy blue team or primarily a maroon team. It seems like both colors are fighting each other for supremacy a bit.

This just shows you how great soccer kits would look without a massive ad on the front. Not trying to start a debate on why they need them financially. Just pointing out the obvious. Universally, MLS and soccer just seem to get a free pass on the ads. I can't stand them aesthetically.

So does this mean that the Lions current alt helmet is history? Broncos have a new alt because the current alt is now primary? I can't even guess on the Vikings other than a shell color change which would be pointless.

They might be the most forgettable team in all of pro sports.

I'll say they lean into that old bee/hornet/yellow jacket thing they used to have. The jersey will be that gross neon pea green color and the hornet will be front and center but enlarged.

It really just proves that anything is possible if you truly believe in yourself. We could all learn a little something from Russell

That would be epic. I assume you're talking about this one. If so, I would buy one the second they are available. I've read some other things that happened around this era. Apparently there are drawings indicating that Blues management wanted the team to skate onto the ice out of a large trumpet, much like the Sharks skate out of the shark head. I have also always thought a jersey designed around the 90s trumpet logo as the crest could be really great.

The other side of this coin is that the Blues and Blackhawks rivalry is about as rich as it gets. No need to have the Blues playing dress up as a different franchise. They have too much untapped history of their own to dive into that well.

Somehow, it feels even more gross when it is a team that usually has a bottom of the barrel payroll and fields a crappy product year in and year out. Oh and they are getting a new stadium to boot.

It does make me wonder if there is some kind of legitimacy to this. I mean, this dude is putting in hours of time and doing an interview. That's a lot of time spent just for a hoax. I would understand if there was some kind of way to monetize the hoax, but I just don't see how someone would go to these lengths just to fool people. But, people do some weird stuff. Especially on the interwebs.

The Blues still have some nice sweaters that they haven't thrown back to. No reason to bring back the Eagles (even though I kind of love that jersey). I bet less than 1% of the city even knows who the Eagles were. I said this earlier on the thread. The Hull/Cujo/Shanahan era seems to be really logical to me. Red in blues jerseys acted like black for other teams. It worked so nicely on this set and then the 90s insanity took it to the extreme. But I love this set.

Sounds fantastic. I'm glad the TB third jersey didn't expose my satanic beliefs.

Totally agree This might sound stupid, but I've always just assumed that baseball unis were thicker so it would protect the players when sliding or diving. I would think a thinner sleeker uniform might cause some more boo boos

Black, blue, and white have literally been the team colors for 30+ years. Stripes have been on hockey jersey sleeves for eternity.

I like that STL kit. So clean. I just love that red/magenta color

The crest of the new TB third works really well IMO. Better than I thought it would. It's funny that after a period that roundels were overused, it's kind of nice to see a jersey using one again. The rest of the jersey is meh other than the numbers

Uni Watch has a good write up on the differences in the stitching. https://uni-watch.com/2024/02/13/breaking-our-first-look-at-the-cardinals-new-jersey-script/ As much as we all hate changes, the new stitching looks really good IMO. I want to hate it because of all of the other issues with these new jerseys, but it looks sharp. I still don't understand why all these corners need to be cut. I know nothing about jersey manufacturing other than what I have learned from this board. But in my eyes, if you are making uniforms for the best baseball league in the world, I wouldn't think you would have to cut corners on the manufacturing end.

What on earth?? I'm going to be completely fair here. The changing of material on MLB uniforms doesn't bother me as much as it does other people. I actually think the colors seem to pop a bit more on this new fabric/template. But how on earth do those jerseys make it on a field with that small of a name font??? That's comical. Seriously, if the MLB logo was back to its old location and the NOB was normal size, it think all of these are probably fine. But that's insane.

Honestly, I don't even love it for the Lions. It works for the Chargers for some reason. In NCAA football, slanted numbers have bothered me for Mizzou for quite some time. Something about it just feels gimmicky, while simpler more block style numbers makes any set feel more classic. Especially with teams that have a decently deep team history.

For sure. I'll throw Buffalo's hat into that ring as well. Their away set is great.

I really hope the Cardinals pull a Lou/NY Islanders and just put out something extremely bland. I'm not going to be able to take it if they are trotting out there in some obnoxiously loud mono colored uniform with an arch slapped on it. It's bad enough that we have to watch 38 year old Matt Carpenter out there again this year

Looking at these makes you realize just what a difference a pants stripe makes. It takes a boring mono look and turns it into a great uniform. Definitely prefer the stripes socks as well, but that's another story.

A little surprised about the reactions to these Jets unis on the forum. I think this is a great move. The throwbacks looked fantastic last year and moving them to primary is going to look fantastic as well. The black alt is what it is. I don't love it and it's not needed. But for some reason, much like the Mets, the black alt seems like it is going nowhere.
