Check out the logo on the belt "buckle".

When the Eagles first changed to their current shade of blue-green they dropped silver from everywhere but the logos. Then a few years down the line inexplicably added that charcoal gray. It was a weird decision. Since there was already silver in the helmet wings and sleeve patch, if they had instead made all the elements that are charcoal the already in use silver, I think the whole look would be much better. Im personally very tired of the current Eagles uniforms and would love a return of a bright Kelly green, but since that seem stubbornly married to the drab dark teal , the least they could do is swap out the charcoal for silver (and update that ancient number font). Silver would add some contrast between the dark blue-green and equally dark black. The color they refer to as midnight green is so close in value to charcoal… then add in black… it’s all so drab and muddled.

I know the Vikings using their current helmet color and finish with their throwbacks wasn’t historically accurate but I don’t really care. It actually looked better without the dark blue-purple helmet they used the last time they wore throwbacks IMO. I don’t personally need them to have any alternate helmet but if they are getting one I’m not anxious to see it mess up what I think is a pretty nice look. But if I understand the “rules” for alternate helmets, they supposedly have to be worn with alternate jerseys. In the Vikings case that means last year’s new throwback uniforms or that useless color rush uniforms. No thanks to either scenario.

Yeah, I can't necessarily say that for sure about the Dolphins, but the 9ers throwback being worn with white socks (like the Giants throwback, at first) was an eyesore.

Yup. That's why they wore the all white socks with them initially. Now, of course, teams just wear all white socks with their white uniforms because the players have really really terrible taste.

Well… The Steelers did.

I think a color rush uniform can use historical colors even if they no longer appear on the primaries. That’s how the Chargers get away with royal and navy alts.

Service Academies...

I've been using Imgur to host my concept images for years, but I'm pretty unhappy with whatever it is they've recently changed to. Now whenever I try to upload anything, I get a pop up telling me my image is too big. Is anybody else running into this? And is there another site I can use that will just let me upload my images so I can post them here? I'm old and hate change. Why can't everything just stay the same? The next time some friggin' site makes an update "to improve user experience" that actually improves my experience, will be the first time.

The Titans are by no means “a few tweaks from being good”. They need a few dozen tweaks just to approach below average. Their current uniforms are an absolute disaster, fighting neck and neck with the Commies for the bottom of the NFL barrel. The Cardinals might give me hope from a design standpoint… the individual uniforms elements are pretty good ( or at least tolerable) but the combination choices are moronic.

Actually, yes they do. That’s exactly what they equal.

I haven’t watched them much this year but the Ravens seem absolutely packed with jackasses

Holy crap, that was a hell of a cheap shot. Piece of garbage.

Wait… you hate the Minnesota Vikings? That’s hilarious! That’s like hating…. I don’t know, like the Indiana Pacers, or old Scooby Doo reruns. Or your four year old nephew who occasionally says annoying things. What could the Vikings have possibly done to the fans of any other team to create the least amount of offense?

Yeah, he’s the “hottest hire” if you’re glued to ESPN during the morning gasbag blather fest. They’ll move on soon.

I think I can speak for most Vikings fans when I say that, as far as some other team besides the Vikings winning the division, the Lions are by far the least upsetting option.

This is absolutely true. The Seahawks went from the team I considered my “second” during their royal blue and Kelly green years (despite the fact that they mostly sucked) to one of my least favorite teams when they started wearing depressing pajamas and basically infected the entire league with their horrible mono aesthetic.

What?
