That can't be me... I would never have such a crazy opinion as to say Carolina and New England would look strange in gray facemasks...

 

Insanity.  

Oh no, am I clone?

Blue pants made a world of a difference the past couple years. 

 

Sad!

[oldschoolvikings]

If they wore them with white pants and navy socks, that would probably be the least offensive combination.  But still, no one would confuse it for a good uniform.  

 

Still a pale sad imitation of the original...

Rams bone has never looked worse than it does tonight. For some reason the lighting there makes them look even more khaki than normal

You probably need to see a doctor if that’s the case

You mean that's not normal?

Until tonight I had not had the misfortune to watch the Rams play in bone. It particularly bothers me that they have the stupid white half panel on the sleeves. Who looks at that and thinks, "yes."

The Walter Payton Man of the Year Award patch looks so out of place on that goofy jersey.

^ About that: has the NFL actually put out any kind of solid confirmation that they are indeed lifting the one-helmet rule after this season?

 

Do these appear legit?

I know this game was not perfect, but I thought as a matchup between two teams with bad uniforms, this was not that bad. Sure it would help if the Seahawks wore navy socks to break up the leotard look and at least the Rams didn't wear bone-bone.

I don't know what it is with the television cameras versus the on-field photographers' cameras, but in these photos the Seahawks' green appears to have more blue in it versus looking more yellow on TV (then again, the Rams' blue also appears a bit more purplish here than on TV, so what the hey).  I can deal with the shade of green in these photos much better than what it appears on TV. I don't hate it, but obviously I'd prefer if they never swath themselves shoulder-to-toe in it again after this.

Good stuff. I wasn't tracking on any of this, so thanks for digging up these links. I suppose I can look forward to the further degradation of the overall NFL aesthetic starting next season.

The nfl made the announcement after teams could submit new uniforms for next season. So outside of a few teams who already had retro uniforms in their style guides (pats, bucs) teams won’t be using new helmets until 2023.

*looks at yet another facemask war, shakes head*

 

Colored masks. Everyone contrasts. That is all. 

 

And yeah, Seattle/LA looked like dog****.

Always loved these! All for unique color schemes.  If Seattle would've followed the dress rules for these, they wouldn't be too bad.

Not that their black pants look much better.

 

The Saints' gold pants desperately need to come back

 

They did.  

Week 1 vs GB

 

Week 2 vs CAR

The Bills uniforms have too many issues to be part of the “best matchup in football.” Unnecessary Navy trim, plain-white socks with white pants, hip/name-plate logos, and truncated helmet stripe are all details that I dislike with their current unis. If they wore the “standing buffalo” throwbacks against the Chiefs, I might consider that the best matchup in the NFL.

 

That helmet stripe is soooo unnecessary! I just noticed the smaller darker outline on numbers after a second look. Is that intentional navy outline or just a dark foundation of the number material?  Sans helmet strip, these are tops in my book but now I can't unsee that outline  . Thanks~!

It’s navy, it’s on the stripes too. It’s unnecessary but so small I don’t notice it 99% of the time that I’ll still call it one of the best looks in the NFL currently.

Those plastic Riddell facemasks were a pox on the sport for years. That was the only facemask my middle school team offered and we all hated it. We wanted the cool facemask that Emmitt Smith used. 

 

 

 

Hideous.. 

 

I want to say Willie Anderson was the last guy to use one of those silly things, but I could easily be wrong. He wore his all through his time with the Bengals and in his last year with the Ravens in 2008.
