It stands out because they're playing a team wearing all black. There's no need for white pants in your set if you have gold helmets.

The updated one is a much clearer read, which why I’ve been saying (for 15 years) they need to make this change yesterday. Do you know if the team has ever been presented this?

AstroCree Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Grey facemasks are pretty standard. They work with any team and that’s fine if a team chooses to wear them but if I had the choice, I’d pick a colored mask just for variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the massive scope of a team identity project, brands (and especially agencies) don’t like to spend that kind of manpower on spec.

Yellow seems to work for the home and road jersey numbers, so I don't see why the logo should be different. My thought was to use the gold trim for the arrowhead, but make the letters gold with a red outline. That way, the arrowhead's colering echos the numbers, and the monogram's coloring echos the stripes.

BBTV Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Why the hell are the Bills wearing solid red in their highest-profile game in decades? They look absolutely stupid and I'm not sure why you'd go out of your way to look unlike yourself in front of your largest audience.

I might be mistaken, but I think they wore all blue against the Cowboys during last year's Thanksgiving game. They're also playing like garbage. Maybe this will convince them to burn the red set forever. It's terrible. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Disagree about the gold mask - at least in the UCLA example. Akron looks OK, but I have nothing to compare it to.

And what is almost as sad as the leashes that it looks like they are wearing... The Jaguars accent color looks more green and the eagles accent color looks more blue. I really hope the eagles fix this. I really disliked the rebranded color in the 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the black uniforms never see the light of day again, but that's wishful thinking. At least they haven't worn the black pants with either of their regular jerseys.... yet. 1 hour ago, henburg said: Can we ease up here? You're resorting to these strings of insults to discuss a style of undershirt that you don't like. It's just ridiculously over the top. It's not a "style of undershirt that I don't like". It's an intentional decision by players to add something unnecessary to their uniform that has a negative impact on their performance. If I was a team owner, I'd fine the player for signing a contract and then intentionally decreasing his performance by choice rather than natural circumstances. Besides the fact that it's a uniform violation, it's a case of the players completely negating the effort that they take to have the tightest, most form fitting tops - tight to the point where the sleeves have disappeared and some actually glue them to their shoulder pads. If it's not a lack of intelligence, then it's really poor decision making (though those are kinda the same thing) to tailor your jersey so as not to be held but then wear a shirt that (as evident by those photos and just by watching games) acts as flags in a flag football game. So it's more than just a look that I don't like - it's a clear decision that fashion >> function.

These shirts tear away so easily so they can still evade the tackler. With the tackler grabbing the shirt instead of the jersey, it actually performs a great function. I don't like the look either but I am not going to question people's mental capacity like you do on it. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
