I don't think any of those teams will be as simple as the Jags. The Jags are pretty bare-bone minimalist. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

WSU151 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Just spitballin' here...how likely is it that the Raiders change to their silver numbers outlined in black as a nod to being in the Silver State? Too cheesy? I'm assuming someone here has already thought about it? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

If the alternative is anything like what we've gotten since the Nike takeover in Tennessee, Tampa, Seattle, or Cleveland, I'll take over simplified in a heartbeat. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a fair number of season ticket holders, both Green and Gold packages. Few of them are above selling unused tickets at least now and again. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

FormerLurker Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 You do know they aren’t actually owners and those certificates are pretty much worthless, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not worthless to people who value things like NFL financial information or wish to potentially own an actual Super Bowl ring. But apart from what amount to maybe a couple dozen loons who seriously think they're on par with Jerry Jones or the Rooneys, the stock buyers know they're getting little more than a ceremonial title. I still prefer the Packers to every other ownership model in sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you have a long wait for that, since the Dolphins can't change their Uniforms until 2023, since their removal of Navy Blue in 2018 reset the five-year rule.

BBTV Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 20 hours ago, WSU151 said: I'm not sure any team requires season ticket holders to show up to a minimum number of games. Once you buy the tickets...you can do whatever you want with them. Sorta. In many places, you're responsible for whatever happens in 'your seats', so if you sell them to dufuses that start fights or do other terrible things that would get them banned, you can actually be banned. Kinda like renters vs owners. Nobody wants to live next to renters, and if the owner of the rental is known and also a member of the community, there can be a lot of ill will towards that person if they continuously subject the homeonwners in the neighborhood to terrible people by renting out to scumbags. Not that this is happening in my immediate neighborhood or anything.

LordBigMad Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Not to sure if the Broncos are one of the teams planning to change uniforms in 2020. But I'll go on record saying something I'm extremely passionate about. The Broncos need to get the :censored: out of navy and orange and leave that color combination to the Chicago Bears who have made navy and orange famous for 100 years. I'm hoping the Broncos go back to the pre-1997 shade of blue. But, unfortunately I think the Bowlen family has hinted otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormerLurker Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Joe Ellis is on the record this offseason saying any changes to the Broncos Uniform would not occur until the team has a new permanent owner. Personally I was never a fan of the lighter blue, looked fake or like a child’s toy or something. The orange being the primary is enough of a distinction from the Bears for me, but if they did change the shade of blue something like what the Giants wear could look sharp.

Your point is irrelevant to the conversation. There is far too much value placed on what uniform was worn when championships were won and it's getting to the point of absurdity. I'm talking about identity. A brand. And the Broncos need to get their own regardless of what Superbowls were or weren't won. I think being the founding NFL team with 100 years of history in Navy and Orange trumps anything the Broncos ever did or ever will do in the Navy and Orange color combination.

SFGiants58 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I’ve never seen arrogant Bears fans before. Now is my first chance! But seriously, the Broncos’ set is a modern classic. I hope they never change their set. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Broncos have an identity. It's one they've had for ~25 years and won three Super Bowls in. More importantly (and I can't stress this enough)...more than one team can wear navy and orange.

There's no other pair of NFL teams that are blatantly wearing the same exact color combination as their primary kit. I had a problem with the Broncos choosing their current set in 1997 and I still do now. Again, being the founding NFL franchise with over 100 years of history in the Navy and Orange identity trumps anything the Broncos have ever or will ever do in navy and Orange.
