Not only the white pants/white socks, which are bad enough, but the fact that their pant stripes don't match the jersey stripes. As much as I hate the all-whites, I would gladly accept them if the Packers would just change the neck and sleeve striping on their regular road jersey to match these pants. So much better without those little white stripes cluttering up the design and muddying the impact. I agree but the mismatch is far less noticeable than some others...

Right, it would look worse with white outlined shoulder stripes, and it’s the way they’ve always looked so I see no issues, especially since the pants match the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what's wrong with it. Stripes should match stripes, less so numerals. Pant stripe should be red only, no white outlines. May as well have one numeral outlined next to a non-outlined numeral. Poorly designed. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas the admittedly similar CR version of purple pants — which have only ever been worn with the corresponding CR jersey, and were actually introduced first, oddly enough (mainly due to mandatory 2016 birth of CR league-wide) — sport a white/gold/white striping pattern, and of course additionally include the same aforementioned 'B' emblem that is also found on all three of their other pairs. Granted, I must note that you did indeed say "essentially", so I suppose you probably didn't even mean for your statement to be taken in a literal manner anyhow. Still, I kinda felt compelled to provide clarification in regards to the minuscule differences — just in case — particularly for anyone who may not have been previously aware of those minute nuances. Then again, I genuinely doubt such a scenario applies to any fellow forum members located here, especially when considering the fact that this place is basically filled to the brim with eerily familiar likenesses comparable to ourselves: herds of hardcore uniform nerds...lol!

I guess their regular jerseys are mismatched then by your logic. They are completely different stripes, from size to shape. That kind of wedge shoulder stripe never has an outline like the pats, and USC, while pants stripes then to be outlined especially when they are color on color so they don’t get muddled. Also all stripes don’t have to be the same on a uniform as long as they work with the uniform as a whole, like the pants stripe does matching the numbers.

AVGuy Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 In advance of the team wearing "Primetime Purple" uniforms next Thursday against the Redskins, see the transformation of Vikings uniforms throughout the years. I'm a touch too young to recall the original purple pants they wore in the '60's - but those were fantastic! Why Owner Wilf doesn't fork over a few $ to add in a yellow topped socks is beyond me.....It would eliminate the leotard effect current with purple standard pants and gonna be way worse with the full purple/yellow combo coming next week. https://www.vikings.com/photos/minnesota-vikings-uniforms-through-the-years#a66d05fb-e8ac-4ad0-aee2-87d77c68bfb8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they could have taken it in late September or early October, and it definitely could have snowed then. Also did anyone else notice the NFL 100 logo modified for the Vikings on their page? I know the Bears are using that for their anniversary logo, but have other teams modified the logo?

They are all the same, just with each teams logo and colors. The Bears one uses their Jersey Number Font though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stripes match the numbers I may be in the minority here, but intentionally matching stripes to numbers seems ridiculous to me.. if that were an important design convention, several classic looks might not exist.. another issue here is that the numbers on that particular set are flawed in their own right, as colored jerseys shouldn't feature colored numbers.. so matching pants stripes to flawed/bad numbers is doubly flawed.. the Texans normal set is borderline perfection for a number of reasons, but in the case of their color rush set, you get flawed numbers, pants that have striping to match the flawed numbers and also clash with the shoulder stripes, making them triple-flawed in a sense.. add in the monochrome issue, and well - you get the idea.. Their standard all navy set would've been vastly Superior to their navy color rush set in every way as a color rush uniform.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why are their regulars perfect yet the pants stripes don’t match the shoulder stripes which you said before is flawed.

A lot of people love the Texans color rush, largely fans, but i really don't like them for the reasons you mentioned above. The red numbers outlined in white appear pink and are really hard to read from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also all stripes don’t have to be the same on a uniform as long as they work with the uniform as a whole, like the pants stripe does matching the numbers. Not everything has to (or should) match, but when you match everything else (logo, numbers, pant stripes all feature red fill/white trim), the one thing that doesn’t tends to stick out for all the wrong reasons, even though it’s the most subtle thing on the uniform. 2 hours ago, dont care said: So why are their regulars perfect yet the pants stripes don’t match the shoulder stripes which you said before is flawed. And while I will say they aren’t as good as their regular set my point is there is no Mismatching in the uniform. To piggyback on what I said above, I think their normal uniform works well because of how the colors touch each other. Red is used as a trim color on the numbers and pant stripes, and the sleeve design is solid red, so the common theme is that the red is always touching the blue or otherwise acting as a buffer between the blue and white, and it looks pretty nice. The logo is what breaks the pattern on the normal uniform, but I think most people are okay with the logo standing on its own against the number and stripe designs.
