  2. I know that UCLA style road uniform is beloved, but personally, I'd rather see it left in the past. As discussed on these boards ad nauseam, the current cut off version of those stripes leaves a lot to be desired. The disconnect between the gold trimmed home numbers and the non-trimmed road number bugs me, too. And then there's the fact that it's just straight up LSU's jersey. But mostly, the below version from the 60's is just so gorgeous.
  3. I agree with you pretty much on the helmet horn. It was a jarring change at first, but now the older plainer, version just looks kind of... I dunno... unfinished to me. I disagree about the facemask. (I know, I know.) When I advocate here that every team in the league switch to gray masks, I'm kidding. (Well, mostly kidding. Or at least, sometimes kidding.) But in this particular case, like the Colts, like the 49ers, like what the Browns should be wearing, it just looks so perfect with the uniform's overall aesthetic. If I had the call, I'd make this the permanent primary uniform, with the only change being the new detailed horn. I even like the current helmet color and finish with it... it works great.
  4. My Lord, that is beautiful. I'm so happy I could cry.
  5. Sure, because brown facemasks were all the rage back in 1946.
  6. So if that's he same throwback pants as before, the stripes on the helmet won't match the stripes on the pants? No like.
  7. It would be great to see them go with a white helmet with fake leather details. Sort of a white version of this...
  8. Lot of rumors... https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/vikings/are-the-vikings-bringing-back-purple-people-eaters-uniforms
  9. Standard home and road, playoff throwback, and a more OSUish "black" alt...
  10. I've done Big Ten football concepts before, but I usually get new ideas and I have a new template, so... Moving east to west, starting with Rutgers.
  11. The blue over blue is bad. The no stripes pants are bad.
  12. I would say Nike does most things better than Reebok, but I can't take anyone seriously who drinks the Nike kool-aid this completely. And as for the handful of things that were better pre-Nike, I would submit... This... Over this...
  13. Denver’s uniform is so old and tired i actually hear creaking noises when i look at a picture of it. When something that was once the very definition of cutting edge gets old, it gets startlingly old.
  14. OK, so I was wrong. I thought the Browns finished it off, but I hadn't done the Texans. (Actually, I did the Texans, but as a speculative, what-if, luv ya blue concept. So in my head, it doesn't fit with all the others.) So... Texans...
  15. So, 2 months ago, I started to rework all my NFL concepts onto this new tweaked template I drew, just because I liked the way the pants stripes and socks looked so much. Now, with the Cleveland Browns, I got thru all 32 teams, Everybody got 4 uniforms and two helmets (although if I was magically given control of the NFL's uniforms, it's extremely doubtful I'd feel the need to do that). 24 of the teams got one alternate and one throwback. 5 teams (the Panthers, Cardinals, Commies, Ravens, and Dolphins) got two alternates uniforms, but no throwbacks. 3 teams (the Chargers, Packers, and Giants) got two throwbacks. Almost all the teams got vastly improved socks IMO. It was fun to do. I hope anybody checking in liked looking at them. Feedback is always appreciated. So, here are the Browns...
