It's honestly amazing to me that the NFL has yet to sell team striped pants, either as sweatpants, shorts, joggers or something else. I remember a few years back someone somewhere attempted to pilot the idea but it never stuck. Maybe once someone in New York and/or Beaverton sees this post they'll figure out a way to make that happen....

Looks like SKC got back to the argyle (sort of), but the clear winner of that lot, to me, is Real Salt Lake, and it's not even close. IF MLS sides—or MLS itself—cared anything about brand continuity, that would be a stripe n' ridge design they could build on, keep around, and stake an identity on. (Much like SKC with the argyle, or the state line stripe from years back, or Philly with the centered Broad Street stripe—which I see the kit about tried to call back to, but not in a good way—but alas.)

Wepl, guess it's up to either San Francisco or Detroit to save the entire rest of the world outside of the I-29/I-49 corridor from even more of the Taylor Swift Era[s]...

Swap out the DC interlock for the curly W and you have my exact same thoughts. Sure, "DC Nationals" might not roll of the tongue quite the same as "Washington"--but it's also far more direct. Plus, I've been waiting for one of the big major four teams in DC (see?) to embrace the DC moniker. (The MLS side figured that out long ago, as did the AAF and XFL teams that played there.) Dare to be different, DC....

So...where is/what happens/what happened to Dorian Thompson-Robinson in all of this? I know he was a rookie this season, but from what I remember of what little I saw of him he looked pretty decent. Good for Mo-Mo! Glad he's getting a second chance at this. Coincidentally, he'll be going back up against his former team twice per season and at any rate within his old-soon-to-become-new again division. I'm sure he's matured a lot since his last HC stint.

Have you (or anyone else) looked at her without the makeup on??

Now about Neo-Namath?? (NYSE sets are still better, though.)

For what it's worth, the entire reason the then-Tennesee Oilers ended up in Memphis in the first place was because at the time Vanderbilt didn't allow alcohol sales in its stadium, which is where the Oilers originally wanted to play while Adelphia Coliseum was being built. That the team made such big fanfare over moving to Nashville only to have to double back for such a reason and then settle on the Liberty Bowl as it's fallback stopgap option is what really did them in as far as apathetic "fan" support in Memphis (until the Steelers rolled into town...then half of West Tennessee was packed up into there). But yeah...that Memphis was a rival city to Nashville at the time definitely exacerbated the issue.

So... Great Value Patriots, then??

Not for nothing, but the Jets' uptown brethren in blue don't exactly use a giant in their logo, either...AND their current logo is in lowercase letters to boot, the total opposite of "giant". So there's that, for what it's worth...

That's all the Giants need to do. WITH those first set of gray pants. (Never cared for the other gray pants with the offset stripes.) '80-late '90s sets as alternates is fine. Keep those sets as are and they'll be set for life.

Two things: There was a much different approach to design in the 60s when the original Falcons logo debuted. I'm not sure if it was originally meant to imply an F or not, but the now-current logo certainly was intended to, well, "strongly imply" the F. Speaking of, I don't see a problem in "implying" certain elements, but there are instances where it becomes obvious and thus kinda ruins the whole thing. Like this: It's the difference between connotative and denotative design. When it's connotative, it's nicely built in (and in the grand visual hierarchy, it may be one of the last things the eye picks up). When it denotative, it's done on purpose, often starting from that point and working backwards (which is what I believe happened with the above Wolves example; that tree in the fur is way too obvious. Matthew Wolff did a great job in fixing that with the current Wolves logo.) Now, for the second thing. That Grizzlies logo was originally designed while the club was still in Vancouver, so of course Memphis wouldn't have any kind connection to it. That said, their now-current and to me vastly inferior alternate logo does imply an M: You'd have to look very hard to see it if you didn't already know it was there, but the top three claws are what imply the M. (Thus, it's connotative; it connotes, or projects the idea of, an M.) For reference, here's the preceding version(s) of that claw-ball mark: This raises a whole other line of questioning, whether "sanitizing" that logo (my words, but pretty much the same thing Tampa did with the current Jolly Roger logo as compared to the pre-2013 version) just to be clever and imply the M was really worth sacrificing the superior dynamism of the previous version(s). But that's what they did, and that's what we got. Design. Decisions, decisions....

I get the feeling that's probably what they'll end up doing, eventually. And then fans and others will clamor for those to become the primaries and then we'll be right back in this vicious cycle yet again.... ...So anyway, my take is this: the more green, the better. That's precisely why I favor the 80s Jets uniforms. I could take or leave the black, but I'd much prefer sans black...Kelly green is unique enough on its own; let it breathe as much as possible.

You do NOT...THROW...LATE...ACROSS...THE MIDDLE!!! #Quarterbacky101

Late to the game, but... Houston vs. Baltimore Green Bay vs. San Francisco (going out on a limb) Tampa Bay vs. Detroit Kansas City vs. Buffalo (I so sincerely hope)

Rumors of Belichick to the Falcons are picking up a LOT of steam lately. The irony of him moving down south to coach the team he forever memed into "28-3" is not lost on me here...

I may be one of the few who don't hate the Jets' current uniform, even with the numbers outlines in black. The problem is the alternate black uniform for which they shoehorned the black into the uniforms in the first place. That said, setting aside my personal annoyance for teams reverting to throwback uniforms "just because" (in this case, nostalgia being a helluva drug), I really won't have an issue with the Jets adopting the Sack Exchange sets as their next primary—so long as they commit to it and don't change it again in 5 years when a new generation of whatever exists of Jets nations starts clamoring for the 60s/70s sets to come back. All that said...I hope they reduce the amount of green on that collar to some trim piping Ala the Buccaneers' collars, because that all-green collar as is currently is incredibly distracting. (Oh, and I also hope Nike doesn't try to "Nikefy" those Champion Block-era numbers, either. Either leave them as is or slap their current numbers, sans trim, on the next sets. But no unnecessary hackneyed cuts/angles on an otherwise standard block style, please...)

(Though the team says the B is not for "B"engals but for team owner Paul "B"rown)... And depending on who you choose to listen to/believe... (There's a hint of an implied E in that logo...whether that was intentional or not, I don't know.) And then there was this from the past... The point is...it's happened several times before. I get the logic behind the statement (I've made the same statement many times up in here), but sometimes I look beyond my own biases and just accept it if it's a good enough logo on its own.

Man say whuuuttt??? Check this out! @edjb93, a concepter after my own kind! Just so you know what @Ted Cunningham is talking about, my very first concept series ever on this board was the Airline Football League, way back in like 2006 or something. Nice to see this come back around dang near two decades (!) later! I'm actually half-curious now to go back and look at those early designs of mine. Anyway, you've got some great work going here thus far. So far you seem to be focusing more on international airlines, which I most certainly did not. (Then again, back then, we actually had a lot more domestic airlines to pick from before they all cannibalized each other into the big 3+1 we have now, plus a random offshoot of others.) I'll be watching this here...this is some good stuff!

I caught their New Year's Eve game on TV (I came thisclose to actually going to the game in person, and I probably should have since they straight up STOMPED the Blackhawks), but I was surprised beyond belief at myself by how much I found myself marveling at that jersey/those uniforms. If they go on sale after the season, I might just see about ordering one... (And that's saying something considering my fervent angst for most things Dallas...)

Without knowing the inspiration behind that logo, the first thing I thought of was Kento of Hard Rock (or Xiu, if you prefer the original version)...

Yyyeeeaaahhh, y'all remember that Reddit-rumored Denver Broncos uniform mockup from a few pages ago? The one with the "mountain sleeves"? Well, by chance encounter I think I may have found where that supposed mockup actually came from. Read: I am NOT saying these are the new Broncos uniforms, just a guy's concept from 2022. Check this out: https://www.behance.net/gallery/148837051/Denver-Broncos-Uniform-Redesign Welll.....all I'm gonna say about this is that a couple years back I heard grumblings within that team's organization about a possible update to come. I'm not saying it will or won't happen, or what that update could entail, just that I heard the grumblings. All of which is to say: I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if they actually/finally do spring (ha!) an update on us in the months to come. And I'll be right here with the rest of you all wondering what they'll be or if it even happens.

EDIT: moved to the other thread.
