TSHARE18 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Not sure if this should be it’s on post, but since the two other Jaguars topics were shut down... Here is the video of the making of the uniforms. http://www.jaguars.com/media-gallery/videos/The-Return-of-Tradition/c700b2ba-4a79-41e3-a425-a04c20bf9bb6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFrank Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Around 6:30 the guy is saying the two tone helmet let players see when Jaguars heads were turning on field. Followed by this idea that all black is the most competitive “camo” for a helmet one could have. Unreal! concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbofox Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 "Teal is the heart of the brand" So let's only wear it 3 times. Fans have been screaming for a teal primary and you stick with black because you want to own black? YOU LITERALLY OWN TEAL!!! Why try to "own" something that so many other teams have?

Followed by this idea that all black is the most competitive “camo” for a helmet one could have. Unreal! It’s the 5:30 mark. That was the owner who is worth a few billion dollars. He’s also correct in saying the two toned helmet was a competitive disadvantage. 7 minutes ago, dbofox said: "Teal is the heart of the brand" So let's only wear it 3 times.

Yea that part made zero sense. If teal is the heart of the brand, why the hell isn’t it even used on the away uniforms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOVER Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Shad may be a billionaire, but it's fairly apparent from this video that he doesn't know a ton about football. I played and I now coach, and yes, there are slight cues...but whoever told him about the color of the helmet and turning of the head thing? Bro..... Smart people though put smarter people around them. He hired Coughlin back, and that's paying off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiK Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Funny they seemed to have left out the "what's the cheapest? black? ok make it the primary then" conversation from the video. Strange. 73, 77, 81, 83, 90, 06 29, 30, 31, 36, 39, 44, 61, 62, 65, 66, 67, 96, 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s harped on that point over and over again, almost as if it was the sole factor instigating the whole redesign, and I really just feel like it’s his way of admitting “we effed that up” without straight up having to say “because it was gaudy and made us a laughingstock.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagAaron33 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Is this the one they showed at the draft night thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagAaron33 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 "We have three players that should be in the Hall of Fame; Tony Boselli, Fred Taylor, and Jimmy Smith." He is not wrong. I never watched the Titans video or the Fins' one, but the lack of marketing speak in the first five minutes is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I think the comment about the players loving to wear all black is telling. I'm sure the equipment guy hears from players all the time. It makes less sense that if you're pushing teal as a signature color, why leave it out of the away uniform?

Claystation360 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Well I remember there being alot of conversation back even before the dark ages ( 08 - 13 ) that the players really liked the black jerseys went they were introduced but they were speical and orginally for prime time games but they made their way into Sunday Afternoons with along with the black pants options. Along with that the players weren't feeling intimidating enough in teal and that it wasn't a masculine enough of a color but also remember this was the mid going into the late 00's when everything dark was hip and black on top of black with a little extra black was the desired looked by athletes and some folks. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro..... Those "slight clues" are a world of difference to a professional athlete. Don't scoff at it because the 12 year olds you coach don't know what to do with it.

This may be a topic for another thread but I think its worth looking at the degree to which current players enjoy going monochrome in general. We may look at the bodysuit look and think its for bobsledding but for them giving the appearance of speed would be a good thing. Color Rush aside, 20 of 32 teams went mono chromatic at some point last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Just now, WavePunter said: Does that include white over white? My count does not include white over white or Color Rush. White over white predates the modern monochrome look by several decades. Color Rush is a deliberate marketing ploy so it wouldn't reflect any trend in ordinary uniform use. The earliest I can trace the modern trend is 1997 when the Broncos and Eagles both went mono. It then disappears until 2001 when the Saints went mono-black all season. In 2002 it exploded to 9 teams.

Claystation360 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Yeah, I was wondering about that myself makes much more sense after the clarification. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
