It’s a huge step back from the clean Vapor Untouchable Yeah, but that's the whole point of these updated templates. They're aren't trying to make the perfect jersey. They can't just say, okay, we're done, this one can't be improved on. That would be bad for business. So there will always be an update, there has to be, even if the update is technically inferior to what it's replacing. (By the way, those Pro Bowl uniforms? colored jerseys over white pants and striped socks? Damn, it's like someone secretly put me in charge of the Pro Bowl uniforms. Even with the dumb side panels and goofy details, this is the best that game will look in years.) http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by the extra seams above the swoosh. The swoosh is also smaller than you typically see on the non-teamwear sets. My understanding is those are issued in regular sizes rather than numbered sizes, so they may look a little loose or tight on certain players because they aren’t custom fitted.

I’m not going to lie, these are growing on me. The striped socks are a huge surprise. It could move up from a B- look to an a A- if they just got rid of that horrific fading dots crap running under the arms and down the pants.

How is Oregon considered the south? Or is it based on where he was born? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webfooter Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 There were no QBs from the South (the QB who was closest to the South was Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts) so they split the QBs between the two teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 With a number of teams changing this offseason (Rams, Browns, Falcons, rumors of others), what are the odds we see those teams base their designs around a new template? The Vapor Untouchable has been out for several years now and we’ve seen Oregon demo a few new templates in games and practice. As a Falcons fan, I want to stick with the VU because it’s so clean and probably the best template across all manufacturers for the last decade or so, but I could also see them going in a different direction.

That's where the Browns, Seahawks (even though they're good), and a slew of others went wrong. Nike has this fetish with stripes that meet at the chest, and it's so ugly. Hopefully the falcons have no elongated stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The shade of gold used for the NFC jerseys in the Pro Bowl is beautiful. Not too heavy and not too light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty likely atleast 1 will use the new template since the Steelers among others used them in practice as prototypes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your forgetting the years the went with Rice vs Irvin instead of AFC vs NFC, I’d say the ones worn today were surprisingly better looking on the field than what I would’ve thought.

Chromatic Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I honestly don't know why these are getting hate. They're not great but they don't require eye bleach like some people are making it out to be. They're pretty tame for Pro Bowl uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people assumed they would be monochrome identities, which lead to a lot of initial dislike. Beyond that? I think people are just disappointed that they're not AFC/red and NFC/blue.

AgentColon2 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Some sort of minimal red and blue trim could have salvaged this nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
