When I was a kid, Brett Hull was my idol. In 1994, McDonalds had a 3 book set of comic books with Brett Hull as the super hero. The premise was that Brett Hull had to defeat these hockey robots in the future. Your description of the rebook era reminds me of those comic books Side note, I have two sets of the comic books. One set that my dad let me read and another set still in the plastic. Thank god he made me save those

I agree. Of all of the throwbacks that debuted this year, the Eagles is the one I like the least. There current set is a much better look when paired correctly. I wouldn't mind a slight update to the current set while keeping the current green and leaning more into silver instead of black.

The Block M! I wish it was a yellow M on a black helmet, but oh well. Good to see it still exists. I was starting to wonder.

That Browns set wasn't good, but I don't feel like it is even on the realm of the Buc's alarm clocks or Rams all bone or Jags barf colored with a two tone helmet. The biggest issue was that they are such a classic identity that didn't need anything changed at all.

The shoulder horn has always reminded me of a side view of the Gateway Arch ironically. When the Rams first moved to St. Louis, they used this logo below. That shoulder horn always reminds of the yellow of the arch in that logo. The angles are different, but I see it every time.

Wow that is something I did not know. Honestly, that's even more bizarre than the piping and the hem stripeless jersey. What in the world was going on over at Reebok during that time?

Furthermore, Green Bay doesn't leotard. Pitt doesn't leotard. We just saw the Chiefs do it and it looked terrible compared to their normal set. It's not like it's impossible to wear contrasting socks.

Ok then 15 years ago did people say? SLEEVE STRIPES ARE RIP. JERSEY PIPING IS GOING NOWHERE. IT'S NOT 1980 ANYMORE. YOU DON'T LIVE IN CLEVELAND. Trends are trends and I'm sure eventually there will be leggings made to mimic socks with stripes and will thus kill the leotard look. Just because it's a trend doesn't mean its looks good. And if you can't complain about it on this forum, there where would you? It's beaten to death, so I get your point. But, it really is a dead horse that deserves the beating it is getting.

Agree 100% with this post. First on the Canes... on top of all of their weird uniform choices, none of them are actually "innovative." They are choices just to be different. As far as the Whalers/Oilers throwbacks, you hit the nail on the head. It's a complete money grab. Which tears me apart because both the Whalers and Oilers are two of my favorite looks in both sports. I love seeing them being used, but deep down, it just doesn't feel right. This is also coming from a guy that owns two Whalers hats, so I guess my will power isn't strong enough to resist the money grab

I want full time Creamsicles and I don't care who knows it. I think it is mainly because they are so unique and offer up a visually appealing color scheme when many NFL games don't.

I'm torn on if I want the black outline or not, but I'm seeing where your at with it now. I looked it up and they added the black trim in 1982. I think your right that it might feel more complete with the black trim especially with the black sleeve numbers. It's a definite upgrade over the previous set, but now you have me wondering if they should have just returned to that 80s set.

I respectfully disagree... I really like this update. The arm numbers are the only thing that throws me off with this set. I actually think they work well, but I'm not used to them. Other than that, I feel like the return of the darker orange is fantastic and the jersey itself is clean.

Great idea with the numbers. I would love to see that too.

Yes that is perfection.

Agree with both of you. Honestly, this is really the only set of pants they need. Just swap out the jersey for home/away and they would look fantastic. I don't even mind the white socks on the road. Home: White helmet, red jersey, white pants, red socks Away: White helmet, white jersey, white pants, white socks Black set: get rid of it That's all they need. The pieces are all there with this set. It just needs to be matched up.

I feel like the Broncos set isn't far off from being decent though. Invert orange and blue on either the pants or the jersey, and it would help the set a ton. It's the blob of orange that is killing it. I think the helmet is fantastic to be honest. It's just getting killed by the color rush uni.

My opinion has nothing to do with their LA history and everything to do with the fact that I thought that helmet was really nice. But I definitely get your point. For the record, they aren't even playing LA Rams dress up right now either

I think I've stated this before, and I know almost no one will agree. But that Rams helmet should have been the basis of their new set in LA. Maybe a shade lighter on the navy color, but I think that helmet is awesome. You are 100% correct on the uniform as a whole though. It's brutal. I get it. They are moving to LA, so they need to be bright and sunny. Whatever. The full horn will always be the correct horn for the Rams franchise, no matter the color scheme. But I really wanted an updated version of these below: It's hard for me to even look at that mess that you posted Cujo. My team was leaving town, looked like a mess, but had to keep the jersey of a golden era of STL Rams football while having one foot out the door. I was holding my Marshall Faulk jersey over a bonfire the day the announced they were leaving until my wife stopped me

I'll be honest TruColor (and I think I said this at the time), the leaked info you provided made the build up of that uniform reveal really fun. It didn't matter that it ended up being false. That was a fun couple of months.

Raiders/Packers 100% Also Chiefs/Vikings depending on MIN's combo

I agree. The helmet logo badly needs some white, but the set is really good. I'm actually okay with them trending towards yellow as their main color. so much so that I would love some yellow pants with the black jersey. Yellow helmet - black jersey - yellow pants at home. This set on the road.

While I don't love the Texans identity (or lack thereof) this looks really good. Three things crossed my mind when I saw this: 1) This is so much better than a navy blob. This might actually be their best set. 2) As much as I think they need a brand refresh, I'm scared about what they will reveal. In reality, just side stepping to this full time with red as the primary color would be fine in my book. But instead, we are going to get a mess dropped on us. These are really clean but still has some interesting design elements. 3) AZ Cards, take notice of how good red jersey, white pants, red socks looks. Now do that exact thing.

Well, I think it's worthy of a discussion to be honest. In my view, it seems like the name in particular was the issue. If the Chiefs, Blackhawks, Seminoles, etc are all okay because their name isn;t a slur but their NA imagery is fine, then why change the entire branding? Why not change to a tribe name? And keep the helmet logo that was created by a Native American. Furthermore, I think that the concern that this group of Native Americans is bringing up is legitimate. They have stripped the branding of all NA imagery for a brand that leans on military imagery. The same military that at one point corralled them into reservations and took their land. There was a real opportunity in my eyes to do something really great to honor these cultures. Instead, they completely erased it.

As long as it isn't the lazy route every other team seems to take when trying to tie into Mexican heritage: San Diego Los FC or something stupid like that. 99% of every team that tries to tie branding into their Mexican fanbase does something awful like that.

One thing I noticed about the white Cleveland set was that some of the guys were wearing the striped socks with the stripes waaay low by their ankles. It threw off the entire set. Agree with others on the pants stripe.
