  1. Spot on. I've never understood the love for that navy jersey, for all the reasons you state. But even worse is the people who try to sell you on the ridiculous "double-star" alternate jersey. The Cowboys made a huge wrong turn when they decided a jersey was cursed... they should be embarrassed.
  2. I don't like the Bears set at all. I'm the opposite... love the Bears uniforms, bored silly by the Mariners.
  3. Holy crap! It sure is. If you did accuse me of ripping you on that, I think you'd get a few believers. I know for myself, I was completely unaware of yours, but it is crazy how close it is. If you want me to take this down, I will.
  4. New Patriots concept... a little on the conservative side, but I think that fits NE.
  5. Is this done in paint? Also the Ravens look fantastic. Yeah, it's paint. I'm not sure why I'm still stuck in Paint... I have both photoshop and illustrator and was forced to learn both for work. There's just something about the primitive way I have to build an image in Paint from the pixels up that works for my creative process. Photoshop is just too easy I guess... just encouragres me to roll with the shortcuts. Just like with actual painting (you know... with a brush on canvas), frustration breeds inspiration.
  6. I just thought of an unpopular opinion... I've personally never understood the visious hate everyone seems to have for the Tennessee Titans' primary logo. I don't think it's a great logo by any means, but it always seemed seviceable to me. If I was changing aspects of the Titans' uniform, I'd go after a few other things first. What am I missing?
  7. Are these unpopular opinions? Cuz they shouldn't be.
  8. Sorry, I didn't read all that... I was was too busy staring at the best uniform in football. But I don't see the Green Bay Packers' uniforms here. Nope, you sure don't.
  9. Sorry, I didn't read all that... I was was too busy staring at the best uniform in football. Hey, can you tell me what you find attractive about this uniform? No sarcasm at all here, I'm honestly curious. Not everything can be handwaved as "personal opinion," and I wonder just what it is that you and others see that I don't? Sure. To me, one of the absolute hallmarks of design (and one that's being blown out of the water in the current climate of sports design) is economy. Along with symmetry, variety, harmony, etc., economy is one of the basic principles of organization. I tell me students all the time, if you can tell the story with 5 lines, sometimes that's all you need. (But usually, they just keep drawing anyway.) Just like writing, cooking... hell, anything, there's a point when you've nailed it, and anything added is just superfluous filler, cluttering up the perfect statement. Of course, its personal preference... I say "simple and complete", you say "plain and lacking" but by my standards of design (no, not just "nostalgia".... the 60's Falcons don't mean anything to me) this is perfect.
  10. Sorry, I didn't read all that... I was was too busy staring at the best uniform in football.
  11. OK, yes, this is the very definition of an unpopular opinion. I have a question about this logo, maybe someone can help me. What is that thing that forms the crossbar of the "A" supposed to be? At first I thought it was trying to be a halo, but that makes no sense... it's physically attached to the wing. So WTF is it?
  12. More tiresome than wearing the same navy blue hat as a third of the other teams in baseball wear?
  13. Unpopular? I don't know. But these is not only the padres best look, its in the top 25 best uniforms in MLB history.
  14. I'm fairly certain the vast majority of people would laugh at you and throw the card in the air as they walk away.
  15. Unpopular opinion: That's an amazing uniform. The Astros should go back to it full-time. Exactly my opinion. No lie. It's amazing.Isn't this a popular opinion? The tequila sunrise uniforms were greatHappy happy
  16. So, you don't actually know any musicians, do you? Correction: I was referring to the very famous musicians that complain about how they're not getting there cut from people that illegally download music. I see your point on the unfamous musicians that are loosing money. But the jersey complainers, well, that makes no sense to me. Well, the point carries over. Just like music, you can focus on the big time performer and say who cares, but it's the thousands of struggling working people that are getting screwed on the illegal download transaction. And the same is true of any IP situation. You think Phil Knight is going hungry over counterfeit jerseys? Yeah, sure, he looks out the window of his private jet and yawns. But somebody is getting screwed... money isn't created or destroyed, its only exchanged. Venders, truck drivers, warehouse employees... go tell a guy working on a loading dock at a Nike warehouse about how rough it is that you don't want to pay full price for a luxury item, so it's not your fault.
  17. Replace the black drop shadows with a thin black outline and I agree. I can't stand the Niners' current look, black outlines really need to be a part of the Niners' look to me (because of the logo). They also need pants that at least try to match the helmet color. Ugh, it muddies up their scheme too much. The red and gold work beautifully together, throwing in black just makes it look gross. It doesn't need to be in there just because its in the logo. The Steelers don't need to add red and blue because its in their logo. I agree the black was completely unnecessary, and just junked up the whole look, but to me, the dark red was just as bad of a decision. How anybody could prefer it to the classic cherry red is beyond me. What a period for NFL uniforms... logo on the sleeves? Check. Repeat logo on hip? Check. Add black? Check. Darken primary color? Check. Add in oversized drop shadow numbers and you have a textbook example of full-blown 90's nonsense.
  18. I hate this uniform for 2 basic reasons. First, to this very day, I can't see it without picturing Michael Vick electrocuting a dog, a secondly THIS... ...is so unspeakably, supernaturally, inarguably gorgeous it makes me spontaneously break out in tears every time I see it.
  19. Why? I like the Ram's look. I wish they get the helmets right. I will show you which Ram's look really sucks the most. ^ That one sucks the most. The nylon type khaki color pants with navy blue looks so dead, I don't even watch the Rams games much anymore because of this dreaded look. I like those pants 100000x more than the blue pants, and I don't really like the white pants either. You really stopped watching a team just because of the uniforms? I buy Sunday Ticket every year just to be able to watch the Rams, so I would've understood if you'd have said their play over the past decade has turned you off. But the unis? Their stadium, their whole plays, their uniforms, etc really do suck ass big time. More Rams that were cool before the Navy and Gold crap. Royal and athletic gold beats navy and beige, in any version. However, my favorite royal and athletic gold rams uniform is this. And before anyone says that the NFL wouldn't let the Rams wear gold as a dark jersey... let me remind you of this: And speaking of unpopular opinions... I like that Eagle throwback, too.,
  20. Sorry... found it. Google search (as always) is our friend.
