Looked better with the helmet at the 50 yard line and the red end zones years ago. Yeah I definitely see what you're talking about with the Eagles end zone. Hope they correct that soon. Also, this wasn't the first time the Jets didn't have a painted end zone. I'm pretty sure the Giants and Jets both used the green of the field surface at the old Meadowlands back in the early to mid 2000's. I think the Jets and Giants both had non-painted endzones from early 2000's through the end of their time at old Giants stadium. The Giants did not have fully painted endzones in the '08 playoffs, I do know that: http://gridiron-uniforms.com/fields/controller/controller.php?action=view-single-field&title=NYG_2008^div&image_path=/fields/images/playoffs/2008/r1024/NYG_2008^div.png I think it would be nice to see the Bills at least go back to a red endzone. I know it's not as big a part in their color scheme anymore, but it would certainly contrast well with the oversized Bills logo at midfield. 1 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Some of the updated fields for 2019 as of week 1: Cleveland Browns Jacksonville Jaguars New York Jets One thing I'm surprised about with the Jets, is that they down have the sewn in endzones, like they had since moving to MetLife, and like the Giants have. Maybe that will be coming soon or next year? And the Philadelphia Eagles "Error" Field And I'm currently working on an update for the Raiders football over baseball field dating back to at least 2012 3 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 An update to the Raiders shared with baseball field: Old version: New Version: Updates - Changed the grass shading to accurately reflect what's seen on the field during the baseball season. Updated the infield dirt color. Included the foul line, and first and third base line coaches boxes. 2 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc... Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Well, that was the end of an era yesterday. That was the final NFL game in the foreseeable future, to be played on a dirt baseball infield. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Changes for Week 2: Miami had the biggest changes, rolling out a new endzone pattern. I'm still working on this one, and will probably only get to it at the end of the week. Tennessee New coloring scheme in the wordmark, using columbia blue instead of silver. No other logos in the corners of each endzone (last year was the 20th season logo). Finally, no two point conversion line! Most likely a mistake, but we will see if they add it for future games or not. Pittsburgh Addition of NFL 100 logos in either endzone. Baltimore Return of the shield logo at midfield. This version of the logo spans only 10 yards compared to the 14 yards the shield logo spanned back when Baltimore was playing on an artificial surface. Los Angeles Similar field to last year when wearing the white uniforms. The NFL 100 logo replaced the normal NFL logo. The other big change is the size of the helmet logo at midfield. Last years helmet was about 13 yards wide, as compared to nearly 10 yards this year. New York The Jets went with all black endzones to match their uniforms, and to allude to their prospects of a winning season being a dark abyss. 1 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Looking forward to week 3 ... The chiefs are going with an old school style field, the likes of which we haven't seen since 1971 An example of a field from 1971: From 1969 to 1971 the Chiefs used dueling helmets at midfield. More Chiefs field history here: http://gridiron-uniforms.com/fields/controller/controller.php?action=view-team-all&team_id=KC&city=Kansas City&name=Chiefs Given that the Chiefs field manager was also in charge of the Super Bowl field, the dueling helmets found their way to the Super Bowl fields in this era for Super Bowls II and IV. 3 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it doesn't look like there will be dueling helmets at midfield. The stencil outline looks like a Chiefs helmet on the 50 yard line, with either an old school double bar facemask or one of these. 2 Quote Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitt6pack Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) 2019 Chiefs, week 3 A beautiful field. And here's a neat article about the field: https://www.chiefs.com/news/legendary-groundskeeper-george-toma-returns-to-arrowhead-to-paint-the-end-zones- It would be neat to see if the Chiefs updated their field throughout the year based on different eras. This past weekend would cover the 60's. This field was in use from '72-'79, and would represent the 70's: This field was used from '80-'83, and is more of an early '80s era Then the '84-'93 field: And then the design from the mid '90's to late 200's really had little variance: And finally the modern field: In reality, it's probably not realistic to do this many fields, but with the Chiefs schedule, they could probably rotate. The chiefs are home for weeks 5 and 6, and could keep the field from week 3, with their next home game being a Sunday night game. Then they come back home weeks 8 and 9, with week 8 being a Sunday night game as well, and here they could switch to the 70's style field. There remaining home games are weeks 13, 15, and 17, which they could go to the late 80's, early 90's field. Could be a good year for fields in Kansas City.

pitt6pack Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Finally got around to finishing the 49ers field from week 3: Slight changes to the helmet compared to last year. They decided to put the NFC logo in the right side of the endzone, instead of a helmet with the NFC logo, as they did last year. The other change was the wordmark. Last years field used a mostly gold wordmark. This years has red inside the inner white line. Also, the inner white line in the wordmark is full unbroken lines, unlike the teams official wordmark. Here's last years field for comparison: Overall, I'd call all the changes an improvement. I still have to get to the Dolphins fields for weeks 2 and 4. At this point I've put about as much effort into their fields as they've put into winning games, but I can get to them now that I'm caught up with the other teams. 4 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitt6pack Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Staying in New York, here are the Jets fields from the time they moved to the Meadowlands in 1984, through 1995: 1984-1986 early season: 1986 midseason: 1986 late season: 1987-1990 From 1991 through 1995, the field hardly changed, so not worth showing. Only differences include from 1991 forward, the yard lines not longer went from sideline to sideline, but rather started and ended 8 inches from the sidelines. This was a league wide change in 1991. In 1994 the kickoffs moved from the 35 yard line, to the 30 yard line. 1994, part of the season: Playoff games in 1985 and 1986 used the same field as in the regular season. 3 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
