Fair. I never actually saw Jeff Garcia play (I wasn't born yet). I just heard that he was decent, if not spectacular. Jimmy G has a complicated legacy though. Yes, he led us to Super Bowl LIV and another NFC Championship Game. But he would always crumble, he would always throw completely braindead interceptions when it mattered most (kind of like Brock Purdy in the last two games). I wouldn't call him good. I would say he was passable when you surround him with that much talent. This year, he left SF to join the Raiders, gained the privilege of throwing to Davante Adams, and the Raiders are going nowhere. I don't like the term "system quarterback," but I can't help but apply it to Jimmy G.

I mean Jeff Garcia was decent for a couple years at the turn of the millennium. Other than that, no.

Bradford?? I think you meant Darnold. The fact is that my confidence in Brock Purdy is very shaken. I am back to questioning whether the 49ers have a competent quarterback.

If that's the case, don't let him play. Let the GEQBUS cook. Also, it doesn't excuse the performance against the Browns.

I am thoroughly embarrassed to be a 49ers fan right now. This team has now completely squandered three games in a row and the division lead. Brock Purdy went from the next Joe Montana to someone who should be flipping burgers. The defense went from dominant to a wet blanket. Kyle Shanahan's playcalling has deteriorated over this stretch. Jake Moody is not Robbie Gould. You have the most talented roster in the NFL. You have not only Pro Bowlers, but All-Pros at every level on both sides of the ball. These losses are inexcusable. It's a good thing there's a bye week, because it gives this team time to take a long, hard look at themselves. You're better than this. Prove it. (If it sounds like I'm overreacting, you're absolutely right. I needed to rant about this team and didn't feel like sifting through all the negativity on Twitter and Reddit, so I posted here.)

Agreed. Debate is good, the same debate every single time is tiresome. And I'm confident in my opinions, but I'll stop short of saying I'm always right, because there really isn't a right answer to all of this. But I'm glad I can come here and geek out about football jerseys.

No. No. Don't see the argument for the white socks with the navy uniform. Sorry. Looks unbalanced. Also, I'll say this again, don't justify a terrible uniform decision with "the owner likes it." Because that's not a justification. Just call it a bad uniform decision.

This Seahawks throwback is one of the rare throwbacks where I think both the classic and the current look have a place. Let the throwback replace the horrible green jersey as the alt and you're fine.

I will maintain that while the mismatched blues aren't great, there's nothing inherently wrong with the design. The colors have just drifted in different directions over the decades. The star drifted toward navy, the jersey stripes/numbers drifted toward royal, the helmets drifted toward metallic silver, and the pants drifted toward seafoam green. All you need to do is standardize the blue with a darker royal between the two current shades, make the helmet and pants a blue-ish silver, bring back the royal blue jersey, and you're good.

The more shades of blue, the better!

That first quote was just to say that there are multiple arguments on this thread that are cringe. In regards to the Dak pic, you did say that it's the best they've ever looked at home (I disagree). My initial response to that pic was regarding his sock disaster. This is what I should have quoted that made this argument really tired:

Also, dude, this debate is pushing similar levels of cringe. This is like the 36th time we've had this exact argument about the Cowboys. We've all made our points about the Cowboys clear. Let it go.

I'm hating because he's wearing white socks on a uniform that's designed to have navy socks. Instead, this clown ignores that fact and decides to wear white socks below white pants. Doing so will never not be bush league. (I also do think that the regular white uniform is better than the navy uniform, but that's besides the point)

A picture of a guy inexplicably wearing solid white socks instead of navy was not the right picture to prove your point.

Ehh. Never really been a fan of re-colored logos.

I mostly agree, but if any team needs a uniform change, it's the Titans. I don't understand how their look survived the five-year cutoff.

I don't understand. Last year the Commanders revealed their horrible new set, but mixed and matched so we wouldn't be getting monochrome every week. They ended up looking at least respectable most weeks. This year they've abandoned that and have developed Arizona Cardinals syndrome. ALL BURGUNDY ALL WHITE ALL BLACK BABY

I'm still convinced that half the reason they were brought back was pure spite. Why else would they wear these against the Texans later this season?

The fans' opinion should matter infinitely more than Kraft's opinion, especially since they're right in this case.

Love the random Tennessee at the end of this post. Also I agree that they should have never changed when they moved, but what's done is done, you can't change the past, and they really shouldn't have any legitimate claim to these uniforms in 2023.

Great graphic I found on Reddit of all of this year's uniform changes (the one inaccuracy being that the Flyers did not retire their black third jersey):

Watching Rangers/Canucks tonight reminded me how much I disliked the Canucks removing stripes from their pants:

What does this even mean???

At least when the Blackhawks had a black alternate in the 2000s, black is an established part of their color scheme. The Bruins obviously have black as their primary color. The Red Wings used black for their most recent Reverse Retro, but haven't for any other jersey as far as I know. I don't think the Rangers or Habs have ever had black in any of their jerseys. So I'd say this is the only true BFBS jersey I've ever seen an O6 team use (Red Wings RR2 is debatable).

I'm so confused on why the Leafs BFBS jersey exists in the first place.
