Bring back the 80s and 90s. Yuck! This Skins fan always hated that combo. Something about seeing the Skins in white pants always felt wrong to me (the run they made in white on white made the 2005 playoff season bittersweet for me). The gold pants were an improvement IMO despite having a different stripe pattern. Give me the gold pants with these solid burgundy socks for home games and call it a day.

Wonder what that could be. How must Nike feel that almost every uniform they've designed have been discarded almost as soon as its possible to change. Dolphins. Jaguars. Browns. I hope they recognize their designers in recent years have done a crap job with these redesigns and temper some of their extreme ideas for future redesigns. The only Nike designs that look halfway decent are the Vikings and Seahawks. The Jags and Buccs have been abominations. Its hard to get worse than those. And they destroyed classic looks from the Browns (and some would argue the Dolphins, although their 90s Mickey Mouse logo had to go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to look up the concept of “planned obsolescence.” Do you really think they see the constant series of redesigns as a bad thing? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

And they destroyed classic looks from the Browns (and some would argue the Dolphins, although their 90s Mickey Mouse logo had to go) 100% subjective. Take the awful helmet out of the Jags' set and the awful number font out of the Buccaneers' set and both are enormous upgrades over their previous uniforms. The Dolphins' look is a giant leap forward from their 70's/80's now-throwback look, despite all of the hate that they get here from uniform traditionalists and yes, many fans. The Vikings's change put them in the upper part of the league in terms of best uniforms, and the Seahawks' look is still excellent and the best in their franchise's history. Okay, the Browns were abysmal. Guess what? My opinion is 100% subjective, too. Making definitive statements like you did here makes me think of your opinion even less. It's also hilarious anytime anyone blames Nike. Nike is the most recognizable brand in the world. They've set every successful uniform trend across sports, specifically football, over the past 15 years. They do have an idea of what they're doing. They're not just a bunch of guys. They're immensely talented and successful. It's also hilarious that people are so quick to blame them for bad uniform elements. Shad Khan said so himself recently that he pushed for the design of the last set. The Browns also share reqret; we don't know if they pushed anything in particular, but they could have, especially knowing Haslam. Maybe Jimmy wanted CLEVELAND across the chest and down the pant leg and maybe Shad wanted the 2-tone helmet; but hey, let's sit behind a keyboard and blame Nike.

Especially considering they've changed as frequently as they have over the last 20 years. 4 iterations of their uniforms? Tweaks, granted, but you would stand out wearing any one of them on the field along with the others. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they'll stick with what they have is just a guess, though it's a pretty good looking uniform. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I mean, yeah, but the filter basically made it look exactly like he was wearing one of the old orange alts, and if that wasn’t meant to show what current player Jordan Howard is gonna look like this season, then I don’t know what the point of it is. Plus, they changed their pfp to exactly the striping pattern from the old alts (blue stripes with white outlines, as opposed to plain blue stripes on the throwbacks). I don’t know what else you could want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 yeah and ownership said the orange jerseys are coming back. Its possible he meant orange as a color is coming back but i don't see them going with new striping and number fonts... there's not a ton of new ways you can make the Bears orange jersey other than how they already have. Maybe a new pant to go with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The throwbacks were ok as throwbacks, but nothing more.. The orange alt was a great alt and is the only way it should return.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
