But that is indoors. Most NHL and NBA teams can pull that off. Being that some teams have outdoor type stadiums, it couldn't possibly work you can try it out for once.

This was literally an outdoor game jersey. And I know your next argument is gonna be that this is a night game and it would look worse in the daytime, and my only response to that is that I disagree. The Texans should wear red jerseys, and if the jersey itself isn't red, the numbers should be.

Not sold on this in the slightest.

White pants would be the least offensive IMO. 

White pants with a highlighter green jersey would not be nearly enough contrast.

Not a single one of the primary uniform components (helmet, jersey, pants, socks) should be in that horribld green color.

aren't they the ones wearing it? you wouldn't want to be told what to wear.

Hate to say it, but designing a good uniform and designing a uniform that the players like are becoming two very different things. From what I understand about current players' uniform opinions, they'd be estatic about every game being all-black vs all-white

red numbers with white trim on navy blue would look bad

I really like these looks from the NHL

That will not look great. The color rush was a one-time deal, the new uniforms are better off with white numbers with red, navy, or Houston blue trim.

I'm biased (my favorite team features red numbers on a blue jersey) but I completely disagree. I've always been a proponent of the Texans embracing red more to differentiate themselves from the other navy/red teams, and I was disappointed to find out that the new road uniforms will replace their red/navy trim numbers with navy/red trim numbers. I was hoping that the red alternate would serve as the basis for the new uniforms.

The Vegas Golden Knights would like to have a word with you...

I forgot about the Golden Knights' original home uniforms. Mostly because whenever they wear them nowadays, they're paired with that horrendous gold chrome helmet.

It looks incredibly wrong for the Dolphins, Bengals, Jaguars, Broncos, and Chargers at minimum. I’d say the Rams, Saints, Seahawks, and Ravens also look jarring. 
 

That said…I agree that most of these are passable, and a few might even be an improvement on their teams’ current helmets. 

Jarring for sure, but I wouldn't say it looks "wrong" for any team. Gray is a very natural color for a metal facemask.

I don't think those 90's unis were bad, they just aren't as nice as what they have now.  

They were terrible uniforms. They were meant to take inspiration from the 1994 throwback uniforms, but ended up being a downgrade in basically every way. 

Inferior shade of red

Inferior helmet

Inferior helmet logo

Inferior shoulder striping (they added a logo and black shadow to it)

Inferior numbers (the additional gold accent made them way too busy)

Inferior pants

Of course that uniform was an overall downgrade.  But red mask doesn't have to mean that uniform.  Red on the current uniform is light years ahead of red on that older uniform.  

The main problem was that they darkened the red when they switched to that uniform. Even the current uniforms have a slightly darker shade of red to the 80s uniforms (the 80s red was the same shade as the Chiefs). I'd prefer the original 80s shade of red, but the current red is light enough that it isn't an issue.

I don't think they need to add it, I'm just saying that since one argument was that it didn't appear anywhere else, it would look nice if they did.  I'm perfectly fine with it just being the facemask color.

 

They're one of about 2 or 3 teams that I think can get away with gray as a facemask-only color.

Who are the others?

34 minutes ago, BBTV said:

maybe even replacing white in some of the striping, or even having gray pants on the road (though if it was up to me, they'd only have orange pants.) 

That's taking it way too far. Gray is a great facemask color, but putting it in the official color scheme and using it for other uniform elements would look horrible. The only time gray is an acceptable uniform color is in baseball.

Pre that era. Early Dungy era, end of the creamsicles. 94-97 is when I really fell in love. Them spanking the Niners in their first game in pewter sealed it for me. 
 

I’ve talked about it before recently, but I’m 36 and my :censored:ty football team has two Super Bowl wins, while all of my friends who have made fun of me my whole sports life haven’t seen the Niners win any. 

Look, I still don't understand that decision in any way, Niners were still a great team from 1994-1997 (they won it all in 94 and made the NFC Championship in 97), but if that's the choice that you made and you're happy with it, good for you. Maybe one day the Niners will remember how to win the whole thing when they make their 1434380893498th NFC Championship appearance.

I have a ton of nostalgia for that particular uniform because that’s around when I said to myself “yeah this team is depressing, I’m gonna go be a Buccaneers fan instead”. 

I assume you switched around the time they spanked the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII? I'm just saying, switching from (at that point) one of the winningest franchises in NFL history to a team that was garbage for most of its history is an . . . interesting choice.

Take this with the absolutely smallest grain of salt 

 

Patrice Bergeron in the Bruins' pre-Edge uniform

Mats Sundin in a Leafs jersey with no hemline

Markus Naslund in the blue/green orca

Claude Giroux in the Flyers' initial Edge home jersey

Before we Cowboy-jack another thread:

Yes, it's a classic jersey

Yes, the colors mismatch

Yes, it would be better if the blue on the helmet and jersey and pants matched, and if the silvers matched. Whether that's royal, navy, or some shade between the two.

I only see 1

I hope you're talking about the Niners 

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The 49ers have the perfect lineup of four uniforms*, there's no reason to mess with it.

*When proper red socks are worn with the throwbacks

Honestly, if the throwbacks are going to be worn improperly (as white leggings), I'd rather ditch alternate jerseys altogether than introduce a different alternate. The primaries hold up well enough on their own.

The 49ers wore Red facemasks from '96-'08.  It wasn't an improvement.  

 

I don't think there are many Niners fans clamoring for this uniform to make a return. The team was in complete shambles when this was the uniform.

Matt Duchene is probably the only notable Avalanche player who I'd associate with that uniform first. It looks strange to see him in the Adidas set.

 

At this point, the Adidas set with black equipment isn't anyone's "correct" Avs uniform, especially after they won a Cup in blue equipment.

It's 2024, we can color facemasks now

 

It sucks why some teams still like to be stuck in the past because "muh tradishun"

 

And it's a subtle change that won't ruin a team's identity, in fact it also removes an unnecessary color from the overall palette of the uniform

I want the Niners to keep their grey facemasks. Not because of tradition, I just think that the grey facemask looks objectively better than a red or gold one.

This is most likely what it is.  Aren’t they rumored to be doing a Throwback uni this season?

Pretty sure they wouldn't announce it as a new helmet if they're just throwing throwback decals on the existing black helmet shell. I think "alternate helmet" implies a completely new helmet shell that would've been illegal under the previous "one-helmet rule."

Those are the same bland numbers. The original uniforms' italicized font fits the Hurricanes so much better.
