I like the black trim on the stripes. Overall you’ve got a pretty good series! Purpose of red pants is alternate home wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Next up is an AFC team that has the city fallen out of favor with the team itself.... and no its not the New York Jets, currently this team is one of the worst in the AFC alongside a AFC North team... Suffering from the now infamous Gruden curse...LAS VEGAS RAIDERSHOME ROAD ALT RETRO The Raiders way has fallen wayward in the last few years.... guilty of tax fraud costing millions to settle, Mark Davies the previous owner jailed, not even adopting the color rush from 2022 has given the team a much low standing, Jon Gruden's curse has destroyed draft picks, cursed good football players... the team is shambolic and a mess on and off the field. Home, Road and Alt showing off the supposed Vegas Silver to the Raiders was supposed to bring in new life but it worked for the short term but financially it's literally a black hole... like their fanbase. The Retro honors the Los Angeles Raiders and their Super Bowl dominance of 1983. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I get what you're trying to do with the raiders, but I really don't think there is enough contrast between the silver and white of the road jersey, even with the black outlines. Black numbers simply work better, and add some much needed balance to the uniform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavybass Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Next up on the NFC side is a team that has cursed by a single action.... derp. Getting rid of that terrible GM is the first step to a long successful dynasty but a rebrand of simplicity is what this team needs... and 2022 did that for the... NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS HOME ROAD ALT RETRO The Giants forgot that at one time, they were a very mean defensive unit that literally emphasise on their names... GIANTS. So a return to intimidation was the name here... Blue, White and Red are the colors of the Giants, not grey and no mention of the Eli Manning Super Bowls, that's been removed.. The Home, Road and Alt shows simplicity and tradition as it was meant to be. The Retro is the 1986 season where Lawrence Taylor dominated everything and where the Giants were at their ruthless... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Since we are now approaching halfway... I figured let's put in a team that is appropriate for this.NEW YORK JETSHOMEROADALTRETRO The damage done by the notorius now outed sexual predator and infamously bad coach that was Adam Gase was way too much for the Jets to comprehend... so damage control was literally the name of the game here, not reverting to the previous build was basically asking too much so they had a color rush inspiration and adopted the metallic kelly green as their new green. With only that and white, the set is a tribute to the late 70's and 80's Jets rather than their lacklustre 90's... Gotham Green was banned entirely from the set.... Home was Green, Green, White, Road was Green, White, Green whilst All Greens and All White become alternating Alts. Retro is the best year that the Kelly Greens have had for the Jets and that was 1982. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current retro is barley different from the main set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavybass Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 The Jets adminstration were surprised by the demand for better Retros that they caved in and brought back the Joe Namaths.... of 1998. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 From the rebrand of 2021 comes a team in the NFC South that struggled for years for being compared to the Detroit Lions.... who recently got their best QB back home and probably will be the number 1 for the rest of the season, however I felt the need to make this team a combination of their traditional roots that they learnt from the Giants ((and who they might play one day as the league rebrands itself when expansion happens)) and for the fact that they haven't got a wow factor, a sort of intimidation despite having one of the best blues in the league... Yep.CAROLINA PANTHERS HOMEROADALTRETRO Carolina's Blue is one of the best things in this league and the 2021 rebrand focused on that direction but the uniform I didn't felt was done right yet... so what I did was to turn the traditional shoulder stripes into claw marks and that is how that problem was solved.... Big Panther logo on a Black helmet with blue facemasks, Silver is eliminated entirely from the set up, we don't want to look like the Detroit Lions now do we? Black/Blue/White with Blue alternate pants for home, Black/White/Blue with White alt pants for Road, All Blacks for Alt and finally the Retro here is where the team had their best year with these on, 2003 where they won the NFC title but denied by Brady's Patriots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNBSlugger Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I always felt Carolina Blue should be the primary for the Panthers. Never heard them compared to the Lions though and I live here (Go Niners though). Their 26 seasons of existence have definitely been better than the Lions' last 26. I like black helmets for the Panthers if they are matte and I'd go blue jerseys and pants at home always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Carolina looks great. I love that you ditched the silver, it makes the uniforms look so much better and I'll keep beating that drum until the day I die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Well if you liked Carolina.... next up is a redesign for a team that came in 2002 that NEEDED it badly. Jonestown was a bad thing, Jonestown should never be emulated anywhere which is what Jack Easterby tried to do when he went to Houston but Houston itself was in the midst of a curse. A Curse that was instigated by the Houston Astros. For the Texans, the sexual scandals of Deshaun Jackson resulted in the team issuing a keeping the urges with loved ones policy that went poorly as eventually Cal Mcnair was revealed to be a racist.... he, Caserio and then Easterby was all ousted out of the NFL and into oblivion. The new owner of the Texans decided a much need change was needed and here they are:HOUSTON TEXANS HOMEROADALTRETRO The Idea for the Texans was to reverse the Blue/Blue/White current strip and instead go White/Blue/Blue... but have white pants as the main pair at home, followed by White/White/Blue with White alt pants as the Road then White/Red/White as the Alt... some accused the organisation of trying to play into the Oilers faithful. Retro is the previous uniform because well lets face it... Texans have only had 1 uniform and it is completely :censored:. This doesn't help that the Texans are amongst very few team that are hounded with relocation rumors to San Antonio of their unintended success with the Jaguars and also because the city of Houston is plotting to bring the Oilers back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Next up is a team that began life as a AFC team in the 70's before switching to NFC in 2002... a side that is plagued with inconsistencies, bad QBs and bad coaching.... also in a division where one side regularly chokes on a yearly basis. The NFC West.SEATTLE SEAHAWKSHOME ROAD ALT RETRO Nike's relationship with Seattle is so integrained with the area now that most people are stuck with bad uniform designs... 2021's reband to Grey helmets felt that the team was unfortuately dated... even now but Nike's influence is starting to wain in the Pacific Northwest. Home, Road and Alt keep the same grey, navy and white whilst the Retro is still Nike's awful attempt at a retro looking fauxback. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
