BBTV Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Well I'm scrapping their current typography. The D would be italicized because it would be a little longer, contemprary (so a good bridge between their super contemporary current logo and uber traditional past logo), and... well, I think it would look cool. I have to say that I liked their fauxback helmets a lot more than I thought, but I agree with your suggestion of a really-dark-royal-but-lighter-than-navy shade.

The_Admiral Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Yeah, with the Bears and Broncos both being highly prominent blue/orange NFL teams, there needs to be a little more separation between their colors and the distribution thereof. They might even be the same shade of navy blue now. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 With the broncos now wearing orange jerseys it's not that big a deal. Also I always thought that the bears navy was darker than any other navy in the league, including denver's. I still agree with them getting a new blue though.

shaydre1019 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 13 hours ago, dont care said: Am I the only one that doesn't like a yellow face mask on a white helmet. It just seemed too obnoxiously bright to me, now it with a royal blue shell I think compliments each other nicely. I thought it was a little gaudy, as was the whole uniform, but for most of their history I feel like gaudy is a good way to describe their uniforms so from a historical standpoint is seemed fitting for the chargers.

Wandell Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that Denver's blue and Chicago's blue are even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid, I thought the Chicago Bears' uniforms were black for years. They wear a very dark navy blue. Denver should opt to go back to sky blue IMHO. "Of course, that's just my opinion.

TBGKon Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Denver never wore sky blue, I'd call it royal blue before sky blue. What the Broncos need now is a nice satin cobalt blue helmet along the lines of the texture of the current Vikings purple helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I don't think I'd go as far as "sky blue", but their royal has appeared pretty bright at times.

aawagner011 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'd call that closer to the Ole Miss powder blues than royal blue. It's really quite nice and a unique shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Packers' Color Rush pants don't seem to have the thin white stripes between the green and yellow: For reference, here's what the promo shots showed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutmasterflex Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 That is a shame. The collar and sleeve stripes are the same. But the pants don't match. Well, their regular pants don't match either so I guess that's why they didn't bother? Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 When the Color Rush uniforms were announced, I suggested that they should take the opportunity to change the jersey stripes as well, make them more like Lombardi's original vision. That would take care of your inconsistency. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Love it when "COLOR RUSH" removes colors from a teams normal set... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Well, it's not really removing white from the pants, is it? Out of this whole promotion, I don't really mind focusing on one color. I kind of like it, even if the whole exercise does kind of make me think the NFL wants to look a little bit more like soccer: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

That would take care of your inconsistency. I agree that would look much better. But now that they've tweaked the pant striping to where it doesn't match the striping on the sleeves and collar of the jersey, it's driving me crazy. They should absolutely change the white jersey at some point but since they didn't take the opportunity to unveil a tweaked white jersey for color rush, they should have left the pant striping how it was in the promo shots. Even though that striping is ugly and inconsistent with the striping of the helmets, at least the jersey and pants would've been consistent.

Gothamite Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Perhaps they're using this as a test to see how the green/gold/green stripes look on the field. Okay, almost certainly not, but I'm looking for a ray of sunshine in this whole Color Rush mess.... The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
