The Jaguars held a salute to service charity event where volunteers were given teal #21 jerseys left and right, and many of them (would appear to be all in the men’s cut) were mistakenly screenprinted with numbers made for the black jersey, making the flushed black outline into a contrasting one. In case you were wondering what that would look like. I could take it or leave it, personally. I’ve come to appreciate the outlineless aesthetic and really wasn’t a fan of the single outlines that the 2009 set used. I would also rather they added more gold before putting any more black on there.

 

 

Those look WORLDS better...the contrast makes all the difference in the world.

Theoretically, they wouldn’t have to wait 5 years to change the numbers, if they can just print the contrasting jersey’s number for the outline like they did here.

(Now where we run into problems with that is the white jersey, but since there’s already and outline on those, i shouldn’t be an issue to change the color of it.)

Such an improvement.

 

I wouldn't even mind a double outline to bring gold back into the equation. Or maybe just replace the black outline with gold? Either way all of their jerseys need real contrasting outlines. 

 

(And the pants need stripes too)

I wish the Ravens would bring back the contrasting collars , but only if they upgrade their jersey template.

I'd be curious about a gold outline, but I imagine a double wouldn't jive with the otherwise minimalist look.

For the first time since debuting their “temporary, but possibly not temporary” identity, Washington has swapped out the NFL Shield at midfield for its primary logo for tomorrow’s game vs Tampa Bay

I posted this mock-up in the earlier days of this thread, but it gives you a good idea of what it would look like.

A simple number outline can do wonders for Jacksonville:

I think the Jaguars are a rare example of a team that needs double outlines, as I think gold by itself doesn’t provide enough contrast, while black by itself looks too “sterile” and lifeless to me. The black outline on those teal jerseys is definitely an improvement over no outline, though.

 

As for the Dolphins, although I often flip-flop over which shade of aqua I prefer (the primary or throwback), I find myself leaning more & more towards the throwback shade, as the primary aqua is starting to look way too “minty” to me. The throwback shade seems to do a better job at contrasting with the orange, as well.

Agreed on both accounts. I feel that the current shade is too far into the fluorescent shade for my tastes, as is the orange, IMO.

Eagles black pants looked a lot better than I expected. Don’t need to ever see this again, but it’s not the end of the world. If they’re going to wear anything other than white or green pants, I’d prefer them to get a set of gray ones.

The shade they went with at first was pretty bad but the new one is pretty close to the throwbacks (might even be the same).

It sure doesn't look like that. What does TruColor's site say about the colors?

The new one is the 2002-2012 shade which is indeed way darker than the 2013-2017. And from the mothership in 2018 when they switched :

 

"The Miami Dolphins will indeed be stepping back, but it will be as they’re taking the field wearing their classic shade of coral (orange);  certainly a brighter and bolder shade of the colour than what they’d been wearing over the past five seasons."

Titans navy-navy-Columbia combo is ALMOST passable as a good f uniform, too bad the silly grey elements are there

Yeah - that matches the color swatches, but it doesn't match what my eyes see

It looks better than the reverse imo (Black jersey over white pants) since the white jerseys still have green numbers, so its a better balance of black and green.

 

But the green pants still look better (and I too would love gray pants)

Am I the only one that doesn't think the Colts look right in blue facemasks? I Don't know if I just don't feel like they work with the more traditional aesthetic of the uniform or what, but I think gray is perfect for them.

 

If we want to talk about a team with a white helmet that could (and should) pull a blue facemask off, let's talk about the Bills.  They wore that look from the late 70's through the mid 80's, and it worked much better with them than the Colts.

 

 

If only the Bills used those socks with today's edition of that style of uniform. I'd take blue stripes (opposite of sleeve stripes) but the red quarter works as well.

Would have been much better with white socks I think. It was an interesting matchup with this first time combo and the Broncos' color rush.

I completely disagree on that, I think I would even rather see black jerseys with green pants before this look again.

You're no fun.

I think its fine if they only bust this out once or twice a year.

I may even say I like it better than when they wear all white.
