  1. This. The red always felt like a VGK stripe to me. Just make it salmon. Not only would it fit with the branding and color scheme, but deep down, a salmon third might actually be awesome if done correctly. I'm guessing that maybe the eye didn't stand out in salmon as much as red, but would mind seeing one of our talented people mock that up.
  2. Let the great "Calgary need black" debate begin!! I disagree that they need black and feel that their current set is perfect. That's not to say that there isn't a space for an alternate containing black since it is part of their history. It just feels like it will lead to an inevitable slide back being part of their main identity in 10-15 year. Rinse and repeat. Now that you mentioned that hem stripe, I can't unsee it. Good eye.
  3. Your response pretty much sums up what I was getting at. It seems like you belittle other franchises sweater history and "glory years" because you have an affinity for the Habs. You didn't say anything about the Canadiens, but in reality you did because you go out of your way to scoff at other teams success or the fact that they haven't had the same sweater for 1000 years. Not a big deal. I'm just saying, different franchises need to be viewed through different lenses. 90% of each league is made up of franchises that rarely win championship and have changed branding for one reason or another. So while you may have the response of: ...to that franchise, even just that Stanley Cup Finals appearance was their pinnacle.
  4. I just don't love gold and silver mixed. The design of the trophy is actually okay in my book. I would like to see a solid gold version.
  5. I mean, there are like 3 franchises in every major sport that have the winning traditions as your beloved Habs. The rest of each league is a hodge podge of a few special championship years (or close to it). To compare all franchises to the candiens is honestly not even fair considering many of their championships came when the league had way less teams and was dominated by Canadian based teams. For a fan base to look upon a jersey with fondness because it was worn during one of their peak eras is totally valid in my book. Doesn't mean they have to wear them for eternity. Just for the record... its been 30 years since the Habs last lifted the chalice.
  6. After letting the dust settle on this reveal, I gotta say... they are growing on me. If there is a team in the league that should have very simplistic uniforms, it's the Cardinals. These are clean, i LOVE the white set, and if they mix the pants up (AKA lose the leotard look) with the red jersey, I think these are going to look really solid on the field. I've been against them adding black to their look since it was introduced in the last set, but even that one is a really balanced set. It'll be nice not to see the piping this year, and in reality, that's all I really wanted. Sorry if I derailed the template discussion.
  7. Hey STIFEL, I get that you are a St. Louis based company, but I have no idea WTF you do besides brand our sports teams uniforms and buildings with your garbage ad. Kiel Opera house, Blues helmet, Blues jersey, and now the Cardinals jersey. Why don't you move out of the city like all the other Fortune 500s already and take your ads with you
  8. Re: The Devils - They have always had a fantastic logo with a meh sweater in my eyes. Red/Green, Red/Black, with or without the hem stripe... the sweater itself really doesn't do much. And maybe it's best that way. But the lack of hem stripe doesn't bother me because the sweater with the hem stripe is just ho-hum as well.
  9. Your thoughts sum up all of my issues with the Bengals new set. So many people rave about them, but the inconstant Bengal striping between the helmet, jersey shoulder, and pant stripe drives me up a wall. Our brains must work similarly.
  10. How could anyone blame TruColor for just sharing what he had heard and literally saying the entire time that he even had doubts? I get that this board takes uniform design to another level, but come on. Just because the board went crazy with the idea of a new color scheme isn't his fault. I'll be honest, without those rumors, the last few weeks wouldn't have been as fun. The build up with zero leaks was more fun than the reveal.
  11. Honestly, this thread could just end with your post. Perfect summary. Three things are needed: 1 - Red set needs stripes to match the other sets 2 - Red jersey paired with white pants instead of plain red 3 - I would love to see a combo of black helmet, red jersey, black pants, red socks. Basically CHANGE UP THE COMBOS FROM THE COLOR RUSH Most of the elements are there, they just need to put it in the right order and add stripes to the red pants. I would love horizontal stripes on the socks too, but we all know that just isn't happening anymore, so I wont harp on that.
  12. If that doesn't fit Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, nothing does.
  13. Just looked that up after your post. Nice color combo for sure. That was exactly where my mind was
  14. You know, a double red scheme would look really nice. I'm thinking sort of how the StL Blues use royal and navy, the Cardinals could use red and maroon.
  15. If these are truly the new Cardinal uniforms then I approve 100%. All they needed was an update, not an overhaul. Granted, they could have used that update about 10 years ago, but this is great. If there was a time for a franchise and Nike to show restraint, this was the time to do it. They have a classic look
  16. My theory is that a bunch of people have seen the uniforms, but they are so off-the-wall that no one realizes that it's actually the new Arizona Cardinals set. Hence they don't leak the info
  17. All that's needed: lose the piping/side panels on jersey and pants. What we are getting: A maroon, orange, gray, sparkly helmet overhaul. Again, I'm excited as a uni lover. But when you see it in writing, it seems really absurd.
  18. Same for me. I actually think the helmet is fantastic. The combo below is their best look.
  19. Tru Color gave us the colors already
  20. As simple as this statement is, it is really difficult to argue against it Historic team, historic colors, historic helmet As a someone who loves sports unis, I'm pumped for an "outside the box" cardinals set. But deep down, I know that this team should probably be primarily red and white with their classic helmet. Either way, the suspense is killing me
  21. Plus he has said that they can "own it." It has to be something with the flag.
  22. I wonder if the cardinal logo on that briefcase is precursor of what is coming? Just more of an outline of the Cardinal head in all red.
  23. Sorry if I missed it in a previous post, but what was the description of the white helmet? If you cannot share the info, no problem
