simtek34 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 It's Week 17 of the 2020-21 season, so it's about time to start up this thread. All that we know is coming in 2021 is the new Packers throwback (was gonna release 2020 but got delayed) and the new Rams alternate (unknown if a recolor or throwback as of now.) The Nike Vapor Fusion template, which was tested out in 2020, is set to debut full-time for the NFL in either 2021 or 2022. Anything else that I missed? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think there have been rumors about the one helmet rule changing, although I may be misremembering something I saw on here. 4 fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 The Washington rebrand could happen this offseason. Although, it’s been suggested that they may hold off for one more season or even keep the Football Team name. I don’t think any other teams are up for new uniforms. Unless Joe Burrow and Kyler Murray have had any influence, Cincy and Arizona don’t seem to be budging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think Arizona definitely gets new uniforms this off-season. 2 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...

ramsjetsthunder Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm thinking Rams alts will be going yellow this year and black next year. And also, having 8 redesigns last year, I am just fine having a year off. Gotta savor it. In the next 3 years, however, I'd like to see a new Bengals, Cardinals, and Panthers, not to mention a name for Washington 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I really don’t get the reasoning behind Carolina needing new uniforms. Is there any concrete evidence to support the claim? The current ones are fine, but I could see them going in a Colts+ direction. Not a total overhaul, but rather refining the current look. The first step should revolve around the shoulder number sizing issue. For whatever reason, I’m assuming cut/template issues, the shoulder numbers have received a noticeable size change. Either take out the sleeve logos and move the numbers to the sleeves or just take them off and keep the logos on the sleeves. The second step is changing the helmet stripe. It’s arguably one of, if not, the worst in the league. It gets dangerously close to the helmet logos. Either go stripeless or match them to the jersey and pants. The third step is fixing the pants stripe. Now, it isn’t a huge deal and I could live without a fix, but the bottom just looks weird. Streamline the stripe and have it even all the way down, like a normal pants stripe would be (see Texans, Patriots, etc.) Other than that, there’s no real reason to give Carolina a complete overhaul. Again, the uniforms aren’t bad. They just need a little TLC 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 All those things you just said are true, but I can live with them if they would just stop playing mix-and-match so much. Just have silver pants. That's it. If they need black, then they should only be worn with the black jersey maybe once a year. at this point, they have Titanitis, where it takes you a few seconds every time they're on TV before you recognize who they are. They had a very solid brand for close to 25 years, but they've really chipped away at it the last few. 14 1 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

sky1324 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 On the contrary, what they should do get rid of silver and only go with blue socks. A blue helmet would be almost completely unique in the league, since every other blue helmet is either navy or royal blue. Silver pants would be fine, I guess, if they were actually metallic and not a dull gray. They looked much better back when metallic fabrics were used. 9 the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best place to see how this would look is the Dallas Renegades of the XFL. The Renegades blue is a few shades lighter than Carolina, but it gives a good context of what it would look like. If Carolina did go with a blue helmet, they’d almost have to axe the silver pants in favor of blue and black pants. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silver is superfluous in the identity and axing it in favor of a blue helmet is the right way to go. Not to self-promote, but I did explore this concept about a year ago: I removed silver, burned the black socks, and replaced the sleeve logo with TV numbers. As long as there are no blue pants, this set would be pretty much perfect. The only thing it requires is a new logo with a preferably black stroke, to avoid the awful blending that happens too often with the current logo. 9 1 the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaa333bbb Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I can see a lot of teams being way more inclined to add/replace alternates or even full overhauls as a way to make up some of the lack of ticket revenue this year. Maybe even a league wide thing similar to NBA city or NHL reverse retro if the league sees if those sell well or not. As a Bills fan it wouldn't shock me at all to see them either getting a new alternate or even a whole new home/road set. The demand for Bills jerseys is super high right now in Buffalo and I guess Allen jerseys were pretty much sold out everywhere during Christmas and are still hard to find. The Sabres just did a whole new re-brand which appear to be selling well and they're terrible, wouldn't surprise me at all for the Pegulas to think they could make even more money if they did the same with the Bills. I know locally fans have been clamoring for the return to red helmets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It creates a better balance. Using your concept as a basis, Blue/White/Blue Blue/Black/Blue and the occasional blue/white/white That's all they need really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I get where you're coming from, I personally really like how white over white looks with blue socks, so I'd rather they keep that. Plus, having blue socks but no blue pants completely avoids the possibility of a leotard look, just like the most recent Chargers update. If they had blue pants, I'd want only black socks, which could work pretty well. 1 the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
