FlyingBuckeye7 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 So has anyone seen anything at all about the Patriots new uniforms? Is this even confirmed at all with any dates, leaks, or general ideas about what’s coming? Or are we still speculating at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only just hearsay from pro shop workers that it’ll be color rush with a new color rush style road jersey. No idea if those guys actually know anything.

Jojopeligreeno Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Pats are definitely changing. How much we don’t know but the Patriots main beat reporter even had a story that there would be changes and we would see them sometime this Spring.

Well, I think it was more along the lines of “Hey, there are some soccer uniforms that have done this” (and there were at the time), so “Let’s try this on a football jersey”. And IMHO, it did look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 14 minutes ago, dont care said: Uh I really need to site that the American flag has stripes? I think he means do you have a source that the american flag strips were the inspiration for the Patriots stripes. I kinda doubt it myself - I just think they thought it was cool.

monkeypower Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 That’s why I asked. The assumption would be that it’s Patriots=America=Striped Flag, but I wanted to know if that’s the actual meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I thought we got confirmation a few years ago on these boards or from UniWatch that the stripes were directly borrowed from the soccer aesthetic. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Makes sense, probably trying to capitalize on the '94 World Cup. Soccer was the future then, you know. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claystation360 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 MOD EDIT: Like I said, if it doesn't pertain to the Patriots' new uniforms, don't post it in this thread. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I've also heard the vertical stripes were supposed to emulate soccer jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It's pretty obvious those Patriots jerseys were inspired by soccer kits, there is no way it wasn't. Even as a little kid I picked up on that. I actually liked that jersey at the time and still kinda do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Were the drop-shadow-italic numbers supposed to evoke soccer? Or was that also just "I dunno, looked cool"? Because I really did like those numbers. They look cool. It's a funny coincidence that the Patriots used them while they were playing footsie with Hartford, and then the Whalers started using those same numbers right after they left Hartford. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
