Especially if they have to visit Miami, Jacksonville, Tennesse, or even Buffalo when it's hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Let New England keep the silver. If nothing else, it's their way if distinguishing themselves from the other red-and-[royal and/or navy] blue teams in the league.

Since these are just Color Rush unis promoted to regular wear, is it feasible that they just still have a boatload of old numbers or last year's jerseys to burn through? If this is a ridiculous suggestion, I'll hand in my uniform critic card on my way out the door. @andrewharrington (who knows far more than I or most of us about this stuff) pretty much suggested the same thing in another thread on the SiG forum, so there is that...

This tweaked version is just the worst of all the worlds, to me. Looks like the team took the field wearing the cheapo no-brand jerseys from Target instead of the authentic stuff. I've taken to calling that particular font "Brady Block". And from here on, let it be formally established that the 2001-2019 Patriots font, by the power vested in Buc, will heretofore be referenced as "Brady Block". *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicate Genius Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Eluemunor's jersey still has Brady Block. Joejuan Williams is wearing the correct fonts this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I can't believe I'm saying this but "Brady Block" looks better on the Patriots than generic block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver is a colour unto itself in football, not a swap for white. It looks out of place here on the Pats and I've always thought it looked bad on the Panthers. You're right - it's its own color, which is why the Patriots should wear silver pants with their white jerseys. Navy/red/silver is a perfectly fine color scheme, and looks good on the Pats.

The white jersey over gray pants would look immeasurably better than the navy jersey over navy pants does. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 After watching some of the game last night, I'd say the Patriots uniforms have grown on me since they've been unveiled. I might even say I like the current number font a little bit more than the old one now. It seems evident they were trying to match the wordmark on the front of the jersey, which I like. This also seems like it might be an unpopular opinion but I prefer the red/navy/red striping on the away, as opposed to the other way around. It helps tie in to the red facemask and the red-heavy stripes on the pants. I do agree though that silver pants for this set should have been a no-brainer. They would have looked really good last night especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I get the argument for silver pants for the Patriots' home jersey, but I don't see the need on the away. They made white-over-navy their look in the Brady era and it was fine. My gripe with them now, if anything, is that the silver layer of number outlining looks more out of place than it used to.

shstpt1 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I also appreciated the players that used the white legging look rather than the blue sock/legging look with the Blue pants for this past week's game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEYxFRESCO Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I just wish they had silver and white as alternate pants. They may have those saved for when they finally unveil the red alternates once the NFL eases the one helmet rule. Or at least one can hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be amenable to white socks with the red/navy/red stripes, paired with the navy pants? I think that would take care of the navy heavy road look for the Pats.

I'm not sure what's up with the socks on this set; there's enough white that it doesn't quite activate the leotard look with the navy pants, but there's not enough for the design to look properly balanced.

MJD7 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Tonight is another instance where I think the Patriots could really use silver pants. Other than that though, I honestly love their new uniforms. A solid update that still maintains the essence of the Patriots’ brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel79 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I like the Pats new uniforms. Gray and white pants would be a nice option to have, along with a red jersey too. On the white away jersey I don't like the red/blue/red stripes, I would of liked to see red/white/red to match the pant stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Numbers don’t match anything else. Should be navy with thick red outline. Either that or change the shoulder hoops.

What they really need to do, is to put a white stripe between the red and blue, like on Bledsoe's hand warmer.

If my memory serves me right, it’s only like that because it was a holdover from Pat Patriot.
