Nothing else needed the bolt patterns with the current jersey and pant are atrocious...modern cuts be damned but they need to either go back to the traditional bolt patterns or completely reinvent the bolt treatment. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current uniforms are pale imitations of their best look. They need to return to the classic bolt stylings at the very least. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally like grey facemasks but I think gold/yellow/whatever you want to call it works great for them. Very vibrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I was kind of disappointed with how bad the yellow facemasks looked in games this season. When they announced them it was with the powder blue jerseys and done in some very-well balanced graphics from the social team that really made them pop. But, in games -- especially when worn with the white jerseys, which for some reason they were electing to wear at home, the yellow looked really awkward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the most dominant colour on the whites (other than white) is drab navy. The yellow/gold/saffron masks looked great anytime they were paired with the powder blues. I suspect the new uniforms were designed around powder blue, and will feature powder blue more prominently on the white jerseys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the best fit because A. The fans prefer powder over everything else by a mile B. As you mentioned, the color rush is too close to the Rams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendocfc Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 So... if our fellows above are correct, it should be the same colour as the 2016 Netherlands change shirt. Is it, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
