That's better than what they ended up going with.

Worth noting that all of the tweets/interviews at that link state that new branding & uniforms will not debut until April 2024.

Maybe April 1st, 2024?  Are the Texans playing a long con here?

Maybe I'm being too sensitive but this tweet with the frozen guy emoji strikes me as a little tone-deaf while the city is still pulling bodies out of snowbanks.

EDIT: Or if you prefer, you could go with my prefered red sock home and away.

Yes!  This was a great look.  Bonus points for the blue facemask.

They will always be the Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, St. Louis Rams, and Decatur Staleys in my heart.

They're still the Cleveland Rams to me.

What’s crazy for me is that if this was the nfl, I’d think the red helmet-white jersey-red numbers-red pants-white striped socks would look so good and color balanced (ala chiefs), but in hockey, I think the canes with basically the same set up looks so awkward. Maybe I’ve just seen white helmet and jersey too much so it becomes awkward for me.

To me, wearing the dark helmet with the light jersey always looks cheap.  Like a junior team that can only afford one set of helmets to wear with both their light and dark jerseys.

2. The Buffalo Bills: What is it with NFL teams picking their worst look for national TV games?

The worst part is that they chose to wear these instead of the standing buffalo throwbacks that they could have worn for this game.  This game could have been the standing buffalo vs the helmet-wearing dolphin instead.

The NFL needs to step in and fix this socks problem.

If the players want to wear compression tights instead of team-color socks, can't the league at least get someone to provide some tights with the appropriate colors and/or stripes?  It's almost 2023, we can't sublimate some sock stripes on a pair of leggings?

Love the Miami throwbacks and would prefer them to be full time.  That said, the current uniforms aren't bad.  My only real problem with them is that there is too little orange.  At distance it's practically invisible.  If they made the aqua stripes on the helmet and pants a little thinner and the orange stripes a little wider they would be better.

I can see posting active players who are winding out long careers with new teams.  We know those aren't going to end up being their "right" uniforms.  Mayfield and McCaffrey are both pretty young.  If either of them end up staying with those teams for the rest of their career or win a Super Bowl or two there, those could easily be "right" uniforms for them.

The brown facemask looks like s*** and from afar, is too similar to the Bengals in terms of orange helmet paired dark colored facemask.

How far away do you have to be to not notice the tiger stripes on Cincy's helmet?

I wholeheartedly agree. When the Bills made this change a few years ago everyone celebrated it, but now it seem the white facemask community has shrunk back down to normal size.

 

 

I'm still on Team Blue Facemask for the Bills.

I didn't realize until now that the back hem stripes on the Islanders' retro jersey doesn't connect to the front.  It looks so random.

They really made a mess of the whole thing.  Worst part is no lighthouse shoulder patch.  That was the best part of that set in the first place.

This picture seems to show that he's wearing glasses, and the rings are also part of the mask

Word is he also used those gloves when he had to take pies out of the oven.

Like dude above said though, Bills should have been in their throwbacks for this game.  Or better yet, should have gone back to 90 and the Kelly era red helmet and threads.

I don't know if it was ever officially stated but the Bills were rumored to be doing the red helmets for next season.  Hopefully with Kelly-era throwbacks, and not with the red color rush set.

if you are gonna wear a throwback...for sake wear the matching socks just once...also imagine the bills in blue pants...sad, just sad

Bills should have been in their standing buffalo throwbacks.

GOLD SOCKS!!!

Maybe we could even see a white one for an outdoor game sometime?

As long as they don't wear white pants with them...

Sabres debuting the new goatheads tonight.  They look good.  Not having the silver outline around the logo really makes the red pop.

The new Riddell Axiom is a good looking helmet

It looks like a lacrosse helmet had a baby with a First Order Stormtrooper helmet.

The capes might be a mistake.  They'll be much easier to tackle with them on.

I hate how much I've come around on the black socks for the Bruins. I don't like admitting it, but they look good. 

In a vacuum the black socks look good.  If you were designing their uniforms from scratch I'd say gold socks looked ridiculous.  But taking their history into account the gold socks just say "Bruins" to me. 

The Bruins still don't look like the Bruins to me without gold socks.
