That hat will look dashing with 30 of its closest friends on the TJMaxx rack in February. Companies pumping out second-rate products at high prices makes me fear (or welcome?) the looming collapse of the American retail market.

They have to distinguish them from the caps they sold last year, which had to be distinguished from the caps they sold the year before that. If you just gave the fools simple caps, they might not feel the need to buy a replacement every season. It's profoundly stupid. And ugly to boot. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

As much as monochrome is derided, the only way you can pull off the gold helmet and jersey is with gold pants. Anything else looks top heavy. Why not white pants? The shades of gold are off, but the gold over white could work for the Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 So I went looking for a New Jersey and found this http://m.nflshop.com/New_England_Patriots_Jerseys/Mens_New_England_Patriots_Tom_Brady_Nike_Navy_Vapor_Untouchable_Elite_Player_Jersey this is the first I've seen of an elite vapor untouchable jersey. Something interesting is the sleeve has an elastic cuff making it nearly identical to on field jerseys. I'm sure the torso is shorter but I might have to get one of these to compare it to my game worn jersey, despite it being from the pats international series game from a few years ago. Price is very steep but I might just budge on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just gave the fools simple caps, they might not feel the need to buy a replacement every season. It's profoundly stupid. And ugly to boot. It's called business. You make one unique ugly cap in 2012 and call it "limited edition." Fans eat it up. You discontinue the set and release a new line 2013 that's even more hideous than the old line. Slap on the "limited edition" tag again and then the sheep come calling home. Rinse and repeat for subsequent years. Not a new formula and will no doubt be repeated in the future.

I was one of the ones saying player safety is more important than how a helmet looks, but that is hideous. It needs some serious redesigning. Don't see why it needs all those ridges and holes, I know the sides have more padding but what prevents them from still making a round helmet? The holes maybe do give some flexibility to the helmet where needed so that I could live with. The 2 plates on top I can live with too because it does help with safety and not much worse than the speed flex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Jim Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That Raiders helmet is a damned mess it what it is, as is going to be the case with just about every team that uses it. The Bengals equipment staff should have a grand old time with it. At the very least, the stripe needs to be cut at the breaks in the helmet, but even that won't save it. Is this design necessary to keep the players safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White can work, but it has to be against a color-jersey opponent. No white v. silver/gold/light gray, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
