kimball Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Read this about the Jags new helmets today on ESPN. Apparently, they're just repainted helmets not new ... http://www.espn.com/blog/jacksonville-jaguars/post/_/id/25815/jaguars-uniform-overhaul-includes-dumping-two-tone-helmet I'm just waiting for Bortles to get hit hard that the new paint falls off and exposes the gold. Probably the most Jaguar thing to ever happen. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Old School Fool Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 In the 2019 season, the infamou Riddel VSR-4 Helmet will no longer be used by any player in the NFL. Currently players are grandfathered into wearing it for the 2018 season but Tom Brady has made a switch to Speed Flex and it looks really weird. I'm gonna miss that old Riddell helmet, it's a nostalgic look and reminds me of when I first got into Football. Here is Brady in his new helmet which doesn't look quite right. it just reminds me of those Helmet Phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think brady just looks stupid because of the facemark, the non custom qb mask out there for the speed flex is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matito Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Even though it's the best of the Titans' three options, I will never understand opening the season in non-standard home/away uniforms. Florida State broke out their black jerseys Monday night against VT. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida State broke out their black jerseys Monday night against VT. Why? They usually wear white or columbia at the beginning of the season due to the heat. They've done it consistently for the past few years now. In fact, one of the few times they wore the columbia over white was in an early game in Miami a couple of years ago.

Hasn’t he been wearing a Speedflex in the preseason for several years now, only to return to a VSR4 once the regular season starts?

seasaltvanilla Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Vikings Facebook page just updated their banner with this. Unclear how far the "throwback" theme will extend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DouglasQuaid Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Probably wont happen but it would be a great time for the vikings to introduce a throwback/alternate uniform. I would love a 1969 throwback but the 98' era uniforms could look great on the updated VU template.

VikWings Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'd love for the Vikings to break out those jerseys but then I'd just get pissed off at how the satin/matte helmet shell will ruin the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I’m sorry. I’m still bitter we didn’t get Broncos-Vikings in the Super Bowl that year. Would’ve been incredible.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
