Predictions for the helmet/pants colors: Rangers: white helmet, same red pants they use for every uniform Islanders: navy helmet, navy pants Devils: black helmet, black pants Flyers: white helmet, black pants (I think they might've gone with a black helmet if not for the rule that teams cannot wear the same color helmet as their opponent)

Expecting the Cowboys to get rid of their primary white jersey is like asking the Yankees to get rid of pinstripes or the Canadiens to get rid of their blue chest stripe. It's not gonna happen.

I promise you that there will be an all-white jersey in their new set because it essentially became their primary road look in their best season since 1991. The outcome of this game won't change how the Lions and Lions fans view that look.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the Rangers. It's just a Rangers jersey with several design elements blown up to comically large proportions. They didn't make a complete fool of themselves. Islanders jersey is completely terrible. They make TV numbers massive to help fans in the stands see them, but navy on orange is a way bigger obstacle to legibility than that. The Islanders also join the list of teams to wear a nickname on their jersey. Devils is about what I expected all of these teams to do. Looks like one of the 2019 Stadium Series jerseys Flyers jersey is fine. They showed a surprising amount of restraint on that jersey. Not sure how it's even close to the worst, let alone worst by far.

Think they'd try to match it up with this year's playoff endzones

If they ever remember that white helmets exist and can be worn with a white jersey

One team in the NFCCG has a rich history and tradition to uphold. The other flaunts their lack of history and tradition in everyone's face. I know they haven't made the playoffs, much less have success in them in forever, but this is embarrassing. This is not a serious franchise. Go Niners.

Don't see the point in that. The Ravens' purple is already pretty dark, might as well drop purple and go directly to black at that point. Plus, since Nike is seemingly allergic to accommodating certain custom colors, there's a high chance that none of the equipment ends up matching this hypothetical color.

Fair. It's fun to be unnecessarily dramatic about your team.

I mean, when one person comments six times in a row, all in snarky disagreement with the consensus opinion, I assume they're trolling.

I see we have another contrarian troll on our hands. Welcome!

I also happen to be a Niners fan. I'm rooting for the Niners to win anyway.

Rangers just blew a 2-0 and lost in OT to the Sharks to complete a 1-2-1 road trip. This is a five-alarm fire. Something needs to change here.

At least matte doesn't distract your eyes from everything else going on in the hockey game

Yankees new road uniform should look great. I think both sides of the argument make a good point: The lack of white is much more retro and pulls off the "untouchable classic" vibe better, but it's also factually correct that the uniform has had the white-outlined design for half a century at this point. The Yankees won most of their World Series in the non-outlined jerseys, but their most recent run of dominance did occur in the outlined jerseys. I'd call both designs equally iconic at this point, with a slight advantage to the outlined jerseys since they're more recent. I think that the road uniforms really shouldn't have been tinkered with in the 70s. No one would have a problem with the non-outlined design if it was here for the last 50 years. In a vacuum, I think the new (old) road uniform is perfect for the Yankees, it's just that the previous uniform lasting as long as it did makes this change unnecessarily controversial.

Yup. It's up to the 49ers to keep the practice pants out of the Super Bowl.

Chrome helmets seem to be in the same category as color helmets on the road and monochrome uniforms in the NFL where it's the cool new fad, and if you don't like it then your an old head who doesn't like fun. The fans of chrome helmets seem to relish in the fact that people hate how it looks.

That trend needs to die yesterday. Any design that draws all the attention to the helmet (I'd argue the chrome even draws it away from the game) is simply not a good design. Especially when one of the main complaints from new fans is how it's hard for them to follow plays and follow the puck.

That works better than this Mets jersey because yellow is brighter than orange. And I'd rather see a black Mets jersey serving as a 2000s throwback than a "stealth" version of their primary jersey.

49ers would likely use the red version of the saloon font that they've put in their end zones for the playoffs this year

Don't like it. I thought the original purpose of bringing back the black Mets uniform was for 90s/00s nostalgia purposes, and "modernizing" it completely contradicts that purpose. Plus, yeah, the readability (or lack thereof) is a massive downgrade.

You have a point, but I'd argue that the yellow on the shoulder and pants stripes for the Vikings is more noticeable than the gold in the Ravens' numbers and logos. Also, I think it's clear that these are two visually different teams.

I thought that getting rid of that uniform was the one thing that everyone on this forum could agree on. Turns out I was wrong.
