Diamond Dweller Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 What are some uniforms, past or present, whose design make them seem like they were released later than they actually were.Truth be told with the teams that jumped on the black bandwagon, the White Sox set feels more mid-90's to me.

PaperThin Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hmm, interesting topic. I wouldn't consider the 70s/80s Canucks ahead of its time, but very eccentric and out of place in that time period, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 These immediately came to mind:Looked like something out of the 90s, but was introduced in 1978. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Even though they're older, I'd say the San Diego Chargers were. With the lighting bolts on the sleeves and pants it was the first time a football uniform had team specific designs on them other than the helmet.

damnyoutuesday Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'm just gonna throw out the MLB Turn Ahead the Clock uniforms, even though they were atrocious and meant to be ahead of their time (and well probably never see anything like them again)https://www.google.com/search?q=mlb+turn+ahead+the+clock+uniforms&client=safari&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=2BXyVJTiJMWpogTVoYKgDQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=672 Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Jim Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I agree that the Bengals were ahead of their time, but in 1981, not 2004.

OnWis97 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 First one that came to mind for me was the 1997 Broncos update. I don't actually know that this is the case, but it seems that the plain sleeves were meant to recognize that sleeves were going away. Plus the stupid tapering helmet stripe.

OnWis97 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I agree that the Bengals were ahead of their time, but in 1981, not 2004.Agree. The tiger-stripe helmets were a big departure from a logo (or number, or nothing) on the side of the helmet. And some people HATED them. But by now it seems they're well accepted and kind of an older inspiration for some recent stuff. They are particularly ahead of their time because it took a long time before any really did something like this again.

SCalderwood Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'll go with the 1989-90 Orlando Magic. They were born with that zany/loud/busy look that a lot of NBA teams didn't seem to adopt until around 1995-1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals helmet is now the 6th oldest unchanged design in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCalderwood Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 and nobody even mentions the hideous Steelers "bumblebee" unisNot to start anything here, but hideous or unique doesn't equal "ahead of its time."Did the bumblebee style of uniforms ever become popular at some point later in time? If not, then I don't think it can be considered "ahead of their time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
