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.

It appears '47 is still private

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.

Watch those reddit rumors be correct but for only the alternate jersey and third helmet.

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.

Those aren’t monochrome, and you’d be kidding yourself if you didn’t say they’d look even better with different pants

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

Sorry if this was already mentioned (also not directly uniform related) but the NHL is creating two schedules for the Coyotes next year - one in AZ and one in SLC. So it seems like this is actually gaining traction

You still seem confused. No one is suggesting taking the horns off the helmets and replacing them with a logo.

 

You say a ram head is generic, but it would be miles better than the gradient-filled L@ logo that's currently used as the primary logo. The Rams just need to pull a Chicago and swap the designations of their two logos so that the head is the primary and the LA monogram is the secondary.

Neither logo is any good IMO, ram head or LA. 

There's something that I just don't believe about this rumor. Just throwing it out there. 

Also, the rumor was that the 5280 was the same color as the pants so it was more of a hidden element.

Is it tire tracks? Or is it just some orange bars a graphic designer thought looked cool?

You could be correct... but none of these teams has just straight up rolled out retro uniform. They need the city connect element from somewhere. Motor City is the perfect low hanging fruit to snag 

I said this earlier, but that Tigers CC graphic had tire tracks on the right hand side. There's going to be some kind of Detroit Motor City element to this thing.

Tigers City Connect is debuting May 10, with merch available May 6.

 

 

Most I've seen are believing it will be navy/orange and feature the '90s Tiger face logo.

Are those supposed to be tire tracks on the right?

Is it just me or do these jerseys not match with the pants?

 

Uni Watch has covered this issue a couple of times. Pretty unbelievable. The Cardinals had the same issue in ST so i guess we will see what they look like on the road vs the Dodgers today. This is pathetic
