umlegend1980 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Saw that today. Thought the initials and the flag together kinda felt like golf. It's nice to put this together so quickly to honor him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Whenever anybody says the plain Jaguars uniforms are traditional, show them this photo of Packers-Rams from 1962. Stripes. Multiple colors integrated throughout the set. Actual identities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their uniforms obviously aren't meant to look exactly like something out the 1960's. Nothing about it suggests that. Maybe a better way of looking at it is as a modern take of traditional. "Modern retro". It's certainly more traditional than the last set. All it needs is a bit more distribution of teal, and it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are plain and basic, having the aesthetic of practice uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentColon2 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 It’s offensive to compare the Jagoffs uniforms to those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeFrank Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The Jaguars uniforms are infinitely more complicated than those of the Raiders and all of these “but they don’t have sleeve stripes :(“ arguments don’t really make sense when you consider that. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 There was football played before 1962 and by teams that didn’t have stripes on their uniforms. Not sure why people think they’re an essential design element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they really wanted uniforms that looked like it was designed in the 1960's, they would've went with that. It's really not that hard. Just slap some of those old fashioned stripes on the sleeves and pants and there ya go. That's the main difference between the Jags uni and the Rams and Packers in that pic. That's clearly not what they wanted no matter what words Coughlin chose to use. Add a little more teal, and the Jags look is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chargers are already wearing navy. They need to bring back the original powder blues if they want to distance themselves from the Rams.

Carolingian Steamroller Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The Jags pants actually do have stripes: at the cuffs. The could stand to be wider but when they work they actually manage to break up the leotard effect. Also it should be noted that the Jags actually went Color Rash yesterday. No whites or stripes on the socks. Effectively this means the black jersey is the alternate. Teal primary! As the uniform gods intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewMLind Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Just now, WavePunter said: Football was also once played without facemasks... Doesn't mean it was a good idea Actually, playing the game without facemasks would reduce the desire to tackle while leading with your head, limiting concussions and brain damage down the road... but that conversation is for another time. However, I’m more so just pointing out the fact that there were teams in existence during and before the era posted (1962) that looked good without stripes. There are still teams that look good without stripes, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimball Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'm over the Jags' uniforms and channeling all of that frustration and dislike to the Titans. If we're going to act like a mob to uniforms let's fight the true offenders together. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."
