If a cartoon dolphin, jumping thru the air while wearing a football helmet can't be happy, what chance do the rest of us have? I think sometimes when arguing between the cartoony and angry dolphin, we lose sight of the fact that even though the angry dolphin may seem more realistic, it is still wearing a football helmet.

They should go back to this logo with the current throwbacks they wear and you have the perfect uniform. The navy can be a logo only color or they can clean it up to drop the navy altogether.

Dynasty Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The 1997 logo wouldn't match the throwbacks very well. If there's one thing I hate, it's mismatched elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both teams could pull of either look, but both need to move away from what they're currently doing asap We already have Michigan State-esque forest. The Green Bay Packers already have that covered. Like I said the Eagles midnight set is perfect and it actually starting to grow on me IMO. If any one needs to go kelly, it is the Jets. Can't think of any team other than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It's perfectly fine to have two teams wearing the same color. The Packers and Jets have used the exact same shade of dark green for decades now without any problem. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Don't they use like 3 or 4 different shades on the home green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preferred the RBK version but still think it's a good contemporary uniform that is now 14-years old (or 21 if you don't count tweeks). Im fine with a return to Kelly as long as it's not muddied up with too much black, but I dont see a need to change.

It appeared to be more green and less teal. I think it's a nice color that the Eagles can own as long as it isn't paired with charcoal and black. Midnight green/jade, whatever you wanna call it would be great paired with a bright shiny silver and/or white along with a simple helmet wing and uniform design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedawg22 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The Jets' uniform design is good, as long as the greens are standardized. The only thing that would make it better is to have full shoulder loops, or close to it. The Eagles' uniform, on the other hand, is an abomination. The "midnight green" is bad enough on its own, but putting such a dark color side-by-side with black looks awful. And the black jerseys are even worse. They should either return to kelly green, in which case a little black would be fine as trim, or if they insist on sticking with midnight green, they should eliminate the black and use gray as an accent (which they already do in the eagle's beak and helmet wings). And as long as they're fixing things, they may as well use a less embarrassing number font and drop the drop shadow. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

Dynasty Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 All the Jets really need is a color switch (and a better logo, but that's the least of my concerns). The Eagles' uniforms are pretty outdated, especially the numbers. I'd be fine with kelly or midnight, but the uniforms need an overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Always liked the Jets' unis in the Namath era: the sleeve striping, shade of green, and logo shaped more like a football (as Green Bay's also used to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The Eagles numbers aren't that bad, except for the 1 and 7. Those are horrible. I think the shadow actually works well - it provides just a little bit of depth without being any more obnoxious than a normal outline. The uniform itself is about as simple as it gets these days. I would like to see more silver / light gray (especially pants), and a simpler / less cartoony wing, but that's about it. Oh - yeah the black uniforms are total trash and should be used to wipe the crappiest asses in the world with and then burned.
