JagAaron33 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Man, it's hard to get excited about that. Getting rid of the teal away numbers... not cool, guys! Teal away numbers are what made the team recognizable when it was starting out, because they got those big playoff wins in those away jerseys. I will save my judgment for when I see them and in motion, and hopefully they keep the font. But that's almost too much black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 If those mock-ups are correct, then the Jaguars will be guilty of one of the worst problems in redesigns: going too far in an opposite direction. The team doesn’t have the historical clout to do the super-simple look (although if the teal shade is bright enough, it might work), and the mere idea of the minimalist design comes off as an overreaction against a failed “modern” design. I’m going to wait until the release date, but the reports don’t inspire confidence.

BBTV Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 So if this is true, they’re going to look like so many of the Panthers concepts that get posted here. That’s beyond disappointing. It’s baffling why (if true) they refuse to look like an NFL team. If they’re going to this stupid look, which seems stupid for a team in Florida, I really hope they don’t go with block numbers and end up looking like bootlegs of themselves. I really hope this is proven to be false, because if not, other than the helmet, they somehow figured out how to move in the wrong direction from an already horrid set.

BJ Sands Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 If this is legit - and that's still a big if to me - what a missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr3g3 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 This board always hits the landing on overreacting. I really can't believe anybody with eyes thinks the mock up on the previous page (which is close, but not exactly right) would be a downgrade from either of the previous 2 sets. It's such a clear and obvious upgrade. Of course it's not as good as the original (95-08) design, but we all knew it wasn't going to be that.

It's more about how much of a missed opportunity the mock-up would be, and also the fact that we've had much better work on the Concepts page than what's allegedly coming to the Jaguars.

KGeeX5 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 If going "traditional" is going bland and boring then they've accomplished that. I dont see the point of hyping up teal to have it down to striping and numbers. Hopefully that Parker poster is right about a Teal primary.

If the mockup is accurate, then I echo everyone else. Even some gold trim on the numbers make a huge difference. And of course, teal numbers for the white jerseys is what we need. Go A's!

BBTV Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Teal numbers in the white jersey with black sleeve stripes, black pants, and of course helmet could look ok. Theres no salvaging solid teal numbers on a black jersey. It’s incomprehensible that responsible adults could green-light a design like that.

ozzyman314 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 They really should keep the Gold. It does work well when used sparingly as a trim or stripe. Red Sox: 8 Celtics: 17 Bruins: 6 Patriots: 5 Phantom Merch Collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monochrome in the NFL sucks. No exceptions. None. Now that this (supposing it's legitimate) mock-up is out, I'm taking this opportunity to quote myself. The almost total lack of gold? Dumb and disappointing. The 49er-alt-like single color numbers on black? Dumb, ugly, and potentially problematic. The monochrome helmet-jersey-pants-sock combination? 100% deal breaker for me, every time. Arena League, XFL, High Schools and D2 college teams can go monochrome (if they don't mind looking small-time, I guess) but I'll never consider it a legitimate look for an actual NFL team. It's like minor league baseball... it's awesome for some team to call themselves the Biscuits, or the Lug Nuts, and put some goofy cartoon character on their cap... why not? But if a MLB team did it, it would be rightfully ridiculed. Different leagues have different standards. I'm assuming the Jaguars consider themselves to be an actual NFL team... they should think about dressing like one.

It is better than the last set in every way except for the numbers, that I will say. However, it’s just frustrating that they gave themselves the chance to get everything right and create a perfect, dignified NFL uniform for the Jaguars (like the Vikings did) yet appear to have resigned themselves to at least another five years of trendy, transitional mediocrity.

raz Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 "It's better than the last set." That's the very definition of damning with faint praise. Also, watch the teal numbers disappear when they get soaked with sweat/rain. Disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharos04 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 If it's anywhere close to the mockups they aren't that much better. Comparing them to the previous uniforms isn't fair because the previous uniforms had their own levels of problems. The helmet especially. But again, the helmet was one of the major issues with this set. I'm glad they're supposedly removing the dumb military-inspired shield but without any gold anywhere on the uniforms it stands out worse. Saying there's no teal in the away means they aren't embracing teal at all as a primary color. they're now a black and white team with some teal. or hell...just a black team with teal bits here and there. If this is the direction it's a really bad direction and shows poor insight as to what (teal) people (teal) want (why not teal?) Just because it's an improvement over the last set doesn't mean it's any better in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
