WSU151 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 They did wear it...but I don't think they ever had stitched numbers with that set (edit yeah they did!). Big sleeve stripes with flag and cardinal were last worn in 1995.http://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/images/1993_Phoenix.png Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Bluefalcon Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 That was one of the few examples where the white road jersey looked better than the home version. Numbers on the borders, sleeve stripes/flag logo, team logo, TV numbers on the shoulders...all were missing from the red jersey, which was just plain red with white numbers (no borders), no sleeve stripes, and TV numbers on sleeves instead of shoulders.

Sodboy13 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 That jersey was excessive as hell, and I loved it. It was a major downgrade when they dropped black for blue, shrunk all the striping, and dropped the number outlines.

imawalkingcorpse Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I sold some of those at the store I owned. It was a tremendous looking jersey in person. I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 That's a damn fine looking jersey.I'd love a Garrison Hearst jersey (49ers preferably, but that'd be hard to pass up) but $225 is rather steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I like how there's such contrast between the busyness of the road uniform and the austerity of the home. I wonder if they could pull off some kind of contrast like that with modern jersey trends, where the home stays traditional and the road gets crazy. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001mark Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Phoenix Cardinals always fascinated me. Their stadium looked cool, they were divisionally wedged in with Dallas & the northeast beasts, & their unis were fine.Oh well, I like Arizona better, & they're playing in a division more their taste, yet their unis have def suffered. They're to the NFL as the Penguins' are to the NHL. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they could pull off some kind of contrast like that with modern jersey trends, where the home stays traditional and the road gets crazy.Interesting point. I liked both Cards jerseys and the different tones they exhibited as well.But I cannot imagine, say, the 1990s "austerity" jersey matched with their current road jersey. Or the 1980s red Falcons with their current white jersey.As for the original photo, when I was a kid I loved the St.L cards version of this. But I HATED the addition of the AZ flag...it covered up a huge chunk of the stripe and added colors that did not belong. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

SFCOM1 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I had the Swann "98" many years ago. I gave that one to my oldest Nephew a few years ago. He still has it and it's in great shape, unlike a Road cards jersey of the aforementioned thin blue and red striping and smaller AZ flag. The jersey is in great shape, as well as the 100 annv patch and numbers, but the sleeve striping has almost completely faded away.

They're to the NFL as the Penguins' are to the NHL.Well, them being in the same division as Dallas was a holdover from their St. Louis days. Interestingly enough, when the NFL realigned in 2002, the Cardinals wanted to stay in the NFC East to keep their rivalry with the Cowboys, even though it geographically made little sense.As for the name change, I support it. As I've noted elsewhere, when a state has only one pro team from any particular league, I think a state-based name is entirely appropriate. Which is why I'm fine with the Coyotes now being the AZ Coyotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I cannot imagine, say, the 1990s "austerity" jersey matched with their current road jersey. Or the 1980s red Falcons with their current white jersey. No, the current road jerseys wouldn't work (I don't know what the 1980s Falcons have to do with anything). But I think the same principle of having room to experiment and look more "Arizonan" on the road could work, while they just dress as a plain old football team in front of their home fans who get enough Arizona just living every day. In spite of the call for the traditional plain red uniform, I think it's time for a red facemask. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It was time for a red facemask when they introduced the new set. The Cards did great work in updating the logo, then tripped all over themselves with the rest.

Gothamite Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Arizona vs Dallas actually makes sense geographically. But I can see why they didn't want them both in the EastI think it was more a sense of the Cardinals being the odd man out. They had to move from 5 teams to 4, and which other team would get booted out? Couldn't have been New York, Washington or Philadelphia. Came down to Arizona or Dallas, which is an easy choice.
