If I've learned anything about sports uniforms it's that the only people to trust on info are the weirdos that frequent this sub. Everyone else just kind of says things. 4 hours ago, oldschoolvikings said: This is true. In my experience, to everyone who doesn't frequent this board, as long as there isn't a color change or a new logo, everything is a minor change. So I was at the XFL Tampa Bay Vipers game last week. Some guy behind us was going on about how he liked the Vipers' jerseys because they reminded him of the Packers. Weird right? That's the level of detail normal people care about this stuff. So Bruce Arians could have seen a mockup of a Super Bowl-esque look with white helmets and gone "I donno, looked like the set from the Super Bowl year." Not everyone cares enough about this stuff to care about those distinctions PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a color Nike can keep consistent, looks mostly the same in any lighting and also resembles a cannon and cannon ball ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’d hate for the Bucs to drop a color they have owned within the Big 4 sports leagues. I’d rather they just insisted it be done better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Between the Bills and Jets changes I guess, so a little over a decade?) Adding the Bucs and Oilers/Titans. Patriots had white helmets until ‘93.

Still, teams like the Buccaneers with actual metallic colors really did benefit from that fabric being so popular at the time. If the Bucs asked for that finish specifically, I'm positive that Nike could develop a Vapor Untouchable variation of it. That said, most teams probably just don't notice and don't know to ask. I think most, if not all, the silver/gold teams should go back to dazzle. I prefer the Eagles in dazzle as well. If they don't want to or can't make it themselves, Nike could just contract them out to Ripon like they did early on in the deal, 10 hours ago, Haz_Matt said: Maybe it's time to use anthracite and drop pewter?

I don't think the "warmness" of pewter really adds anything to the boldness of a dark silver.

Gothamite Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Agreed - the brown just gets muddy. A dark silver, or anthracite, or whatever Nike's marketing department wants to call it this week, could easily provide the same effect while being a more attractive color overall. I would drop the black, though, from everything except the logos. The uniforms don't need black trim when there's already a very dark black-ish color present. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

The new pewter doesn’t have that problem, although I do prefer them shiny. Good God those Buccaneers uniforms are awful. They haven't aged well at all and the pewter is really ugly IMO. It's shocking how bad they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone cares enough about this stuff to care about those distinctions I don't even think I can relate to the lack of attention to detail "normal" people have. And I know they're the normal people and we're not. But it reminds of the release of the Vikings current uniforms. A lot of fans would say "I like these throwbacks." So you're probably right about Arians. Guys who work 23-hour days on scheming probably don't actually remember (the way we remember) what the team's uniform looked like before they were even with the team. The most you can probably read from this is that they're not going back to creamsicle and they're not reinventing themselves in purple and green or red, white, and blue. I'd be flabbergasted if they brought back my favorite feature of those uniforms: the numbers. Yes. I love the block font and I love the three layers. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."
