True they offer more templates but a league just starting up will want to keep costs down and take the best known design as well. That mean Primeknit or Primeknit 1 if they go with adidas.

So there is a chance that, with Adidas, the “shockweb” would be a thing. Especially in a newer league that hasn’t established itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Yep, those are pretty stupid. And if the league didn’t already have credibility they would have done some damage.

Sykotyk Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 NFL is the only league without a 'non-plural noun or a collective noun' as a name. And for all those that get on teams like "Maniax" or "LumberJax"... just remember the Red and White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a headline shorthand created by newspapers to save column space, not a name created by a marketing agency to secure a trademark. And those are plural nouns, albeit with unusual spelling, so MLB must be added to the NFL on your list. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I'm thinking TurfTigers or GrassGators.

CheeseHusker Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I actually like Jazz.... probably because it became so utterly and completely meaningless when they moved to Utah. But yeah, I could do without the other ones, even the well established NBA ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ_Barlik Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 So far, for every uniform mockup we have seen, we have matching Helmet/Jersey/Pants. So with that, I will just add the number colors (or expected number colors) based on what we have seen in internet photos: 1. Red (royal blue shoulder) - Royal Blue numbers/White outline 2. Royal Blue (red shoulder) - Red numbers/White outline 3. White (dark blue shoulder) - [guess] Dark Blue or Black numbers/White Outline 4. Black (powder blue shoulder) - [guess] Powder Blue numbers/White outline 5. Grey (dark grey/black shoulder) - Red numbers/White outline 6. Light Green (dark green shoulder) - [guess] Dark Green numbers/White Since we know there are 8 teams, that leaves 2 more base colors. We could easily guess powder blue and dark green, but that's too easy, so I will guess orange w/purple, and yellow w/green. And also, we now know 3 cities: Orlando, Atlanta, Memphis, 2 of which were former USFL cities. So that leaves 5 more. Since we are going from Southeast to Northwest, and logically we need at least 1 Northeast city, I will put in my speculations: DC/Philly/Columbus OH, Austin TX, Omaha NE, Portland OR, Vegas/San Jose/Sacramento. 5-time Defending NL East Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 The UFL did this their first year out and even with different stripe patterns it was confusing. They need to avoid this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 They are really spacing out the team introductions. I suspect they are trying to identify a big name with every team before they announce the location (Spurrier in Orlando, Vick in Atlanta), but they have promised that each team will have a name/identity. I am just hoping that these generic AAF uniforms are just that, generic placeholders, and that eah team will have its own look. The UFL-style one-template model does not work well. With only 8 teams they could even skip having home-away combos and just have one uniform each if they coordinate team colors well. (See my Alternative History thread to see how I arranged just that.)
