    Houston Texans I know as far as concepts go Houston/Texas teams doing a Nasa uniform is overdone, but It's such a great idea I don't know how they haven't done it yet (especially the Houston Rockets.) Pretty self explanatory. the uniform is all white like a spacesuit with a Nasa patch and an American flag on the sleeves. The facemask color is done to match the visor of an astronauts helmet. The uniform also utilizes Nasa's font

    Green Bay Packers The Packers get a heritage uniform of sorts for their City Edition. I went with this route because I feel out of all the NFL teams the Packers is one of the teams that has the deepest connections to their city. The helmet gets a brown coloring to harken back to the old leather helmets. The jersey features ACME PACKERS on the front as a callback tot heir original uniforms, but also to honor the teams namesake. The sleeves get 6 stripes on each to represent the championships that the team has won, but they've won 13 championships I hear you say. I colored the collar yellow as well to represent the 13th championship. The uniform also features tan pants as a throwback

    Detroit Lions So the Lions don't get a drastic change but enough to make it stand out. With Detroit's connections to the motor industry and the Lion's connection to the Ford's I decided to model the uniform off of the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT. The helmet and sleeves get the racing stripes that are synonymous with the Shelby as well as GT 500 replacing LIONS and WCF on the sleeves. I've seen other concepts where they put the racing stripes down the front of the jersey and I don't really like the way that looks and I feel this way you still keep in line with the Lions branding. We also get the iconic door indentation shape on the pant legs

    Denver Broncos Denver gets a white out uniform with highlights of blue and grey. This represents the snow of Denver and also to invoke the city nickname of Mile High CIty. The city's elevation is also added to the back of the neck

    Dallas Cowboys The Dallas Cowboys is another city edition that works on multiple levels. The biggest inspiration is Big Tex that stands outside the State Fair of Texas. This also connects to the team name Cowboys with Big Tex being dressed like a cowboy. Finally the colors used in the jersey are also inspired by the state flag.

    Cleveland Browns I think the Browns are the first team so far to keep their colors, albeit reversed. The inspiration comes from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The fret on the jersey comes from the organization logo and on the neck reads long live rock which are seen outside in front of the Hall.

    Here is the fix on the Bills

    I didn't even think of that good point. I'll have to update that

    Cincinnati Bengals Ok time for another really drastic design. For the Bengals I took inspiration from two places. 1 is the use of the two shades of green which comes from the Cincinnati Zoo, The second was lederhosen. Why lederhosen? Well Cincinnati has the largest Oktobefest in the United States so I decided to use that as the main drawing point and then used the zoo's colors to keep the Bengal theming within.

    Chicago Bears For the Chicago Bears I took the opportunity to honor the USN and their connection to Chicago with Naval Station Great Lakes being just around the corner. The Bears uniform adapts it's striping on the sleeves as well as adding piping and stars on the back of the jersey to match the piping on the Navy Dress Blues. The blue is darkened to match the uniform as well. Orange gets swapped out for red; this was done to match the chevrons on an enlisted rank. I went enlisted red over NCO gold for two reasons; one Great Lakes is where Navy Basic Training happens so it is predominantly enlisted ranks. Two, I feel the media always uses officers and NCO's when they do military related things so I felt the enlisted who do most of the work deserved some recognition. As a Navy veteran myself this is another jersey I'd love to see actually happen

    It's not a graffiti font. It's the font off the album cover

    Carolina Panthers For the Panthers I took inspiration from a couple places. First the gold is for the Gold rush that made the Piedmont area of NC a destination during the 1700's. The term gold rush also led me to making this a color rush of sorts with the jersey and pants being gold. The green comes from the city's official color. This color combination just so happens to be the colors of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte; which also happens to be where I graduated from.

    Buffalo Bills For the Bills I drew upon nearby Niagara Falls for inspiration. The blues represent the water and then the white of the pants fading up into the jersey represent the mists from the falls

    Baltimore Ravens I know I technically did 2 black uniforms in a row but I knew this was what I wanted to do for the Ravens. Baltimore get a Edgar Allen Poe inspired uniform. Poe lived, died and was buried in Baltimore and with the team name already being the Ravens; there was just great synergy there. I also borrowed from the NHL and put "quote the raven" on the back of the collar.

    Atlanta Falcons Went with something pretty different for the Falcons, but something that I think would go over really well with Atlanta. With this year being the 25th anniversary of Outkast's celebrated album ATLiens I decided to make the Falcons uniform based on the album's cover. I know it would only be good for the one year, but Atlanta is so rich in music history they could easily adapt it year to year. I thought about doing peach state/peachtree related or MLK Jr. related, but they've been done by the Hawks and couldn't come up with something that let it stand apart. Overall I'm happy with this and if this were to become a reality I would easily buy this as an Outkast fan.

    Arizona Cardinals For the cardinals I didn't wan to to go the typical Sedona/grand canon aesthetic. Instead I took inspiration from the state flag. The Cardinals red gets slightly tweaked to match the flag and then yellow, orange and blue get brought in. The final little touch is the turquoise color used for the Nike logos to represent the turquoise reserves across the state and a nod to Native Americans within the state

    Here is the next part of my four part series. So the 4 major American sport leagues (MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA) all feature a unique uniform program; MLB- City Connect, NHL- Reverse Retro, NFL-color rush, NBA- City edition.) I decided to swap them around between the leagues. The first of these that I did was the MLB getting Color Rush uniforms. This series will be the NFL getting City Edition uniforms Arizona Cardinals Atlanta Falcons Baltimore Ravens Buffalo Bills V2.0 Carolina Panthers Chicago Bears Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns Dallas Cowboys Denver Broncos Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts Jacksonville Jaguars Kansas City Chiefs Las Vegas Raiders Los Angeles Chargers Los Angeles Rams Miami Dolphins Minnesota Vikings New England Patriots New Orleans Saints New York Giants New York Jets Philadelphia Eagles Pittsburgh Steelers San Francisco 49ers V 2.0 Seattle Seahawks Tampa Bay Buccaneers V 2.0 Tennessee Titans Washington Football Team

    Great job again.

    This is what they should've done in the first place. This is BEAUtiful. I'd probably still keep the regular B on the cap, but this is still gorgeous. I'd buy this in a heartbeat

    I like the numbers for the White Sox!
  22. johne9109
    Looks good. It's unique and still very Phoenix; this definitely would look nice next to the Coyotes Reverse Retro
  23. johne9109
    Yes the blue is infinitely better. The stencil font is great too. Now THIS I would buy.

    I still think this is way TOO radical of a change for the Red Sox. I do agree that in general it was misstep starting with this uniform with how much of a departure it was for the Sox, but I think that was Nike's way of saying expect the unexpected. They could've done something green and said it was Green Monster or done something modeled off of the red brick architecture of New England or the Giant Citgo sign above Fenway (all great ideas that would've been more traditional or not as radical a change for the Red Sox). I'd even really dig something that said Beantown on it too. So it's not you it's this design that Nike and Boston had in the first place I don't think going back to the Sox regular script is the answer for this. If they're really trying to make it off of the Boston Marathon it should use some of the writing they employ at the marathon like these I also wonder if this would look less imposing as a blue dominant jersey with yellow accents; maybe even with white lettering like the picture above? The yellow B on the hat does look better. I just honestly think there are much better avenues that Nike and Boston could've taken. Again it's not you it's them

    The turquoise ain't bad but I feel the one they came out with has more inter city team synergy (told you I liked it) with the Coyotes. Maybe try still using the Sedona red with some of the dark green or purple the Coyots used in the past? http://www.nhluniforms.com/Coyotes/Coyotes02.html
