  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Spot on with this entire post. It's as if the more people clamor for the original set, the more dead set they are against bringing it back. They just keep dancing around it but wont fully commit. Back to the mask, it's fantastic. And the pads are incredible.
  12. The entire game all I kept thinking was that they needed yellow pants. As a Zou fan, they can wear whatever they want if they win games like that though
  13. "We proudly announce our new uniform partner Northwestern Mutual. And in sticking with the theme of no longer having a soul, we would like to ask for public tax dollars to build a new stadium or we will threaten to leave. Welcome aboard Northwestern Mutual!"
  14. Now that you say this, you are spot on. Also, i hate the shoulder stripes on the current orange jersey. They get so muddled up with the white-blue-white pattern. The ones you posted above are definitely better with the simplified shoulder stripes.
  15. I despise this orange helmet. Mostly because I hate it paired with the orange jersey. Nothing about it feels like the bears.
  16. You know, maybe just maybe, the bone could be salvageable. White needs to be completely gone. All it does is make the bone look dingy. Then, if you add a blue-yellow-blue pants stripe and keep it paired with blue socks, it might not be that bad. I honestly think its the way the secondary colors are used that make it look horrendous. The color isn't bad, its really almost every other aspect of the uniform that just terribly designed. It brings attention to the color in the worst possible way. Plus, naming it bone and releasing a new logo that sort of resembles genitalia didn't really do it any favors
  17. "How do we fix this logo now that people are calling us out on it?" "Straighten the wordmark, curl the hornets ass up a little, and call it a day."
  18. That was literally my first thought when I read about the horned helmet. How are they going to do this without looking like the vikes? Even if they flip the horns towards the front, that still just seems too close to the Vikings for me.
  19. CBJ needs a complete overhaul. There is just nothing about their identity that resonates with me.
  20. The best way to establish a strong identity is to have 4 uniforms that are completely unrelated to each other. Everyone knows that.
  21. I wonder what the odds are that they eventually move to some version of these as their full time set? I'm not saying they should, but this is how it starts many times.
  22. Watching Mizzou last night, and I gotta say, I like the switch to the white numbers and the addition of the MIZZOU word mark. Mizzou not having yellow numbers made me feel uneasy at first, but the white really helps the balance. It's reminds me a lot of when the Blues went from yellow numbers to white. While I feel strange about the Blues veering from traditional yellow numbers, the white has really grown on me.
