Just what I want, a penis on my face.
A wang on your face would be the least of your worries if you actually wore that in a football game.

Future Rams Helmet....... and future horrific career ending injury. Just look at the facemask on that thing, it's not protecting s***.

I have no problem making out those patterns out, using the Footyheadlines defination of Subtle here.
The Canada home is great, the pattern on the shirt is great and the template here works much better than it did for the US home. The change is pretty good too and I like the pattern, though using the same template as the home instead of the rather awkward looking one without a collar would have been preferable.
Argentina home has those massive contrasting back panels, but love the pretty daring stripe design, though wished it using the traditional black instead of a washed out dark blue. The Dark Blue works really well with the shades of sky blue on the change though. -
Like West Ham, Burnley won't be wearing white shorts with their traditional shirts of claret with sky blue sleeves.
Apparently it's a tribute to the 93-95 shirt, which was worn when the team gained promotion to the second tier of English football. And also worn when the team went straight back down the following season, one in which their fierce rivals Blackburn won the Prem, but for some reason that part was missed out.- 1

Crystal Palace continue to be economical with the truth by putting "Crystal Palace Football Club Founded 1861" all over the sash of their new change shirt. The Original Crystal Palace FC was founded in that year, but it was ameteur and it closed down in 1875 or 1876. The club that plays in Croydon was founded in 1905.
The club say that the same company (Crystal Palace Company) owned both teams, but the original may have only been tenants and the current team was only heavily invested in by the company, not controlled.- 1

I wasn't planning on it, I'm honestly not sure how I would be able to make it much different from this Grays version, other than a different font.
Maybe by using the Racing Stripes and a chest logo with the Grays script beneath? I would love to see an Expos style Grays set, as it was missing from SFGiants Defunct Saga thread.

Hellas Verona will play the 23-24 season in a shirt that pays tribute to 60 years at their stadium, which of course is an outdated monstrosity with a running track, and isn't owned by the club, a situation all too common in Italy.

Oh yeah, for "Legwarmer", I mean socks that have had a pair of scissors taken to them so that it's just the leg part, basically just the sock that is above the heel. Sorry for the confusion.

That Chelsea shirt looks really nasty. According to Nike the shirt was inspired by the 1997-1999 home shirt and is a "90's thing", but has none of the hallmarks of that period (watermarks, crest within shield, large flappy collars), and it looks like it was based off what the Chelsea shirt would have looked like in 2002 if Nike had the Blues contract back then with the chintz turned up to 11 thanks to the sucker punches of gold on the kit.

Actually, the Ducks were the second, the first were the Anaheim Amigos of the ABA.

The template looks great, an option for longer shorts and "legwarmer" socks (as worn by many players who cut everything below boot level off) would be nice.
As for the shirt, options for the hem cut (dress shirt cut, back longer than the front), and band (Newcastle United 1996-1997) and lace up collars would be great options to have.
The Mexico change shirt looks great, I love the number style and the colour combo is well nice, and it doesn't have the huge contrasting back panels that blight so much of the new shirts launched by Adidas in this and last year. I'm nowhere near as sold on the other kits though. The patterns on the front of the home and on the cuffs are great, and the main shade of green and red look great together, but the kit is ruined by the horrible lime green and those massive contrasting back panels, which look awful. The kit would be improved hugely by replacing the lime green with red and making the back panels the shame shade as the back of the shirt.Not feeling the USA kits either, the change has a nice pattern, but not sure why the old school nike logo is on such a modern template (and whats with the red band under the nike logo?), changing it over to the Henley collar template might improve things. Also not a fan of the home, the pattern looks awkward and the socks and shorts don't match the shirt in terms of trim.
I also think that adding details to the back of the shirts below the collar and/or above the jocktag would help add a little extra something to the shirts, as would adding specific details to the socks.
I do appreciate the effort and the time that it took to make the template and how much organisation went into it too, thank you for doing it.
Looking forward to the other teams. -
The Grays look beautiful. Will there be an Expos based version of the Grays sometime down the line?

Secondly, the NHL team logo is based on a flipped Delta Upsilon badge.
Eisner naming the movie after his fraternity seems plausible enough for me, but I don't know about the logo.
When searching it now, the only thing that comes up is some old Delta Upsilon info webpage hosted on the Old Dominion University website claiming the Mighty Ducks name comes from the fraternity.
I'm pretty sure the Ducks logo isn't a result of turning the frat logo upside down and using the triangle, more a result of the designers being tuned into pop culture and taking cues from the Factory Pomo design style that had started to hit the mainstream and which Disney itself would go all in on during the 1994 renovation of Tomorrowland at Disneyworld.
The triangle might be a nod to the Platinum Triangle of Anaheim, the Ducks were the first professional team to use the name of the city and that might be why it was silver on the road jersey.- 2

The Pelicans look great, though I am wondering if the team would have changed the blue to violet upon the move to NOLA.
17 hours ago, MJD7 said:Probably, but this is another case where I wanted to take a bit more creative liberty, as green & gold doesn’t fit for Atlanta in my opinion.
I don't like it as much as red plus another colour for ATL, but green does fit a city with the nickname "A City in a Forest", and Atlanta United did have a green change kit that worked pretty well.

I think the A's would have kept green and gold as their colours upon moving to A-Town, they might even have changed the gold to metallic for 1996.

Another unpleasant green shirt, Werder will play in a shirt this season that was inspired by the 1986 Denmark shirt.
Whoever did the graphics above did a bang up job of making the kit a lot better than it does in the other pictures (and presumably in real life and on the telly)

I think you've got the makings of something special here, just needs a few tweaks here and there to bring out the full potential.
First things first, I would close the gap in the middle of the T in the second concept and put the star on the forehead of the bull, and make both eyes the same shape, with the one on the blue side of the logo red and the one on the red side of the logo blue. It's the Texans, the Lone Star should be prominent.
I would also try and get the curves on the horns smoother, and perhaps make the spurs on the H curved instead of straight.
Overall this is good, keep working on those skills. -

Yep, that’s in addition to the Raptors and 1994 FIBA championship logos posted above. Turd O’Gravy is so stuck on what he’s done in the past, along with a cloying “don’t you know who I am?” attitude, it’s left a sour taste in mouth for most of these logos.I totally get that and understand it.

If people wanted a better Factory Pomo/Art Deco revival font, ITC Busorama was right there.
Sadly, since .otf wasn't "a thing" in the '90s, there was no good way to digitize the alternates and the font fell to the wayside.
Hypothetically speaking, if someone was pushing for a FP revival, what fonts would be best used? Asking for a friend.

Not much of a secret, but AS Roma makes switch to Adidas official. Now just holding out hope for nice looking kits.
From whats been leaked, the Lupetto is going to be used on the first and third shirts, so they should be good.

So, I might've missed it somewhere but...is there a particular reason for this specific colorway, or is it just a flavor-of-the-season template?
It's a tie in between Toronto FC and the Toronto Caribbean Carnival.

I've always thought all-white works well for a Miami team, but may also be boring for a third (and putting Messi in all-white opens a new can of worms).
Messi wore an all white kit while playing for PSG. I'm sure that it's fine for him to wear an all white kit for Miami.

A prime example of why MLS need to either come up with a name and number font that works with an outline, or let teams use a custom font of their own.

So Toronto flogged enough shirts to get a 3rd kit, and the result is much like a lot of the home and away kits that adidas has launched this year - nice until you get to the one colour back.

AFC Bournemouth have released their new shirt, a much more conventional affair than their previous home.
And if you don't want an adult sized shirt with a nasty betting company logo on it, they also have a sponsorless version for sale too.
Cities that can support more than 1 NFL team series (Part 8 ***FINAL*** - San Francisco, CA 7/23/2023)
in Concepts
Posted
No way would most of those places be able to support 2 NFL teams, and a good number of those places (Lansing, Baton Rouge, WV, Colorado Springs, Canton) couldn't support an NFL franchise full stop. I also highly doubt Hartford could too, with it's declining population and that there are already 3 teams in the market area, would also struggle hugely unless the team came red hot out of the gate from the get go.
It would be interesting to see concepts for them though.
