My thoughts on the new Texans uniform set:

PROS:

- The red helmet with bull horns is a great alternated helmet

- Road jersey horn striping

- Keeping the current blue helmet

- some sort of pant stripe

CONS:

- They should have flipped the design motive on the home and alternate red so that the home and road have consistent designs and the alternate has the primary logo on the sleeve to offset the bull horns on the helmet

- Pant stripe only goes partial up the leg

- Inconsistent color usage on the H=Town alt, would have made the H on the helmet red or the numbering H-Town blue

- Numbers are a poor update from the prior font

Overall, it's a mix and trying to have something for everybody without developing consistency across all uniform elements in the design.

My thoughts on the Ford... I mean Denver Broncos new uniforms:

PROS:

- Base jersey design is good and is most likely partially based on the '65-'66 jersey

- Navy helmet as primary

- Pant stripes (for the most part)

- Nike story telling dodads are small and/or sublimated, and do not show up from distance

- Mix and match possibilities could look really good

CONS:

- White logo on white helmet

- Helmet 'stripe'

- Named uniform combinations (hopefully they wear more than those shown)

- The primary set (home, away, alternate) feels like a bunch of designers from Nike googled 'broncos' and came up with the Ford Bronco and connected it with Colorado/mountains (5280 for the Denver connection) as their design process without thinking about any other local or 'broncos' based design

Overall, they fans will always push for nostalgia (the '77 jerseys will sell very well), but the team will always go for multiple options (modern versus throwback) to appease everyone and sell more jerseys.

Oh God they're going to subject us to a year of "Lol the Stars are playing Hockey Team " before we even get to whatever terrible collective noun they choose as a name

We can only hope they look that good .

Ok, someone tell Denver they're next. The board has got to explode. 

I have a feeling that Denver is going to go the route of Atlanta's most recent uniform redesign and have more subtle, and potentially sublimated design elements with a focus on local colloquialisms and an over designed helmet.

Hm...

Well I'm gonna assume this is the new number font and the cursive font for "release date" will be a new script logo for the broncos

 

I'm wondering if, instead of blocks of different colors, that we see a sublimated mountain design on the sleeve caps for both home and away jerseys.

I don't mind TV numbers on the sides on helmets, as long as they are placed on both sides (looking at you college football ).

I really wish the Rapids would be a little more creative with their home kits. Maybe bring back the white sleeves or vertical stripes from the black and blue era.

I like it more than either of their previous black alternates and the sleeve stripes are a neat nod to the victory stripes. It's very okay.

Agreed. Although, I wish they had doubled the stripes (and potentially added silver/gray) to emulate the victory stripes more so and create a more visually interesting sleeve stripe pattern.

I don't know if this has been brought up, but it is interesting that the Diamondbacks chose to recolor their original D-Snake logo rather that use the updated version that came out during their last brand re-design:

THIS ('99-'06 alternate logo):

THIS ('06 to present alternate logo):
