  1. design by committee... always sure to please everyone!
  2. i would have loved to see a Minnesota Fighting Saints jersey, instead of 2 versions of the same thing.
  3. This has been a thoughtful and unencumbered re-think, and for that I am grateful. Happy: Clean and cohesive. A good balance of retaining historical elements and cleaning up assets. Sad: Cream is barely distinguishable from white. The darkening of the navy (I didn't think you could GET darker than 289 without just being black. The league doesn't really need another Tigers/Yankees dark navy team). M-Star cap is rather forgettable.
  4. True, true. I'll downgrade my complaint to "minor nitpick". I'm very glad the gold is going away, the TC got cleaned up, there's no clutter, and future unis will have a new style guide to draw from. Still... different sleeve striping?
  5. Does it bother anyone else that we're at the dawn of a rebrand, and these 2 jerseys look like they belong to 2 different teams?
  6. Agree. Maybe i'm just in a crabby old man mood, but every time there's a team reveal, all I can think is that 2 brands are being eroded simultaneously.
  7. I'm prognosticating that in 5 or 10 years, the NBA is going to resemble the Premiere League or La Liga: 2 or 3 new "kits" every year, in fancy textures, fabrics, patterns and colors. They'll be called "earned", "city", "throwback", "hardcourt", "retro", "celebration", "legend" or whatever the heck else you can dream of. Sell a million of each. What about the team's brand, you ask? Nah. Don't worry about it. Fancy new duds! It's a financial model that could possibly work for the NBA. It's just going to be WAY too much for a guy like me to want to pay attention to on a daily basis.
  8. Are there Jazz colors? I mean, they've literally used every color except red. Their brand identity lies scattered in a thousand pieces.
  9. The Bengals looked fine. Somewhere between “as bad as I feared” and “as good as I hoped”. That mono-aqua Dolphins uniform on the green field? Hard NO. Someone please tell me the Jets and Eagles color rush unis aren’t dark green.

  11. Thank you for this summary. I think your uniform strategy is perfect. I'm most jazzed to see if they can make a 21st century "handshake logo" to restore the team's unique personality. All the logos with script marks and stitched baseballs and pinstripes and roundels are just so boringly TRYHARD. Bring back the handshake!
  12. All y'all's points become moot when Joe Burrow fires a 9 yard missile into the BACK JUDGE'S solar plexus.
  13. I'm seeing more and more ads superimposed on the glass and boards. We're all in favor of leaving the uniforms as clean as can be. I'm also here to defend the ice surface. I'd rather see a small jersey patch, and ads covering every single inch of plexiglass, than see a giant bank logo covering half of the neutral zone. No one here is nostalgic for the half- drunk fan in the first row, wearing the jersey of a retired player, beer in one hand, and slapping the glass with the other hand, right?
  14. True, but... a basketball team named "the Court" with some kind of royalty theme wouldn't be the weirdest nickname the NBA ever had...
  15. I love that these "concepts" are just re-colorizations of the same, crappy logo they've used forever. Any chance they fix the screaming, glaring issue they've had for decades? That the helmet doesn't include any of their secondary color (gold), but DOES include a color not seen anywhere else in the uniform (black)?
  16. This jersey would place in the top half of the NHL Canucks' looks.
  17. At this point, I don't mind if I dislike a helmet. I can live with it, if it is staying within the brand. The Bears are navy and orange. I'm willing to accept that new orange shell–it's in the family. The Eagles entire identity (aside from the wings on the helmet) is a dark bag of crap, but at least they have established that they own black. The Saints own black. The Cardinals own black. The Panthers are more black than teal. But, WTF are the Jets doing? An alt black uni since only 2019? Sorry, you don't qualify. And why copy the Eagles..again? P.S. The action plan for fixing the Cardinals is simple: keep the logo and blow everything else up. I'm ok with the flecked helmet.
  18. Looking at the Eagles and Jets, I feel like I’ve time warped back to the 90s. Are these 2 teams playing a game of chicken which only ends when one team is wearing nothing but black? The Kelly green Eagles can’t come back fast enough.
  19. Yes. Why I started the “forever done” thread. The Oilers have been encrusted with an inevitability.
  20. My thoughts exactly. Put the friar on the hat and the SD on the sleeve. It may not be the prettiest CC, but they sure did all of their homework. 2022 has seen a pretty good crop of City Connect JERSEYs, but the hats… Oof. Disappointing.
  21. I actually saw someone wearing a new Jazz jersey yesterday, all the way up here in New England! Then I looked closer and realized it was one of those yellow STAFF t-shirts that concert volunteers get.
  22. In case anyone cares what a casual observer thinks... I have read all of this exchange I hate when colors vibrate I have always been annoyed by the 2 dull colors the Avs use Removing black has been more helpful than harmful The lighter, shinier blue numbers the team uses should be the template for them fixing their color issues Unless my eyes are broken, THERE IS NO VIBRATION HERE. Just 2 dull colors that don't look great next to one another Have a good one.
