ZapRowsdower8 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 When the Rams released their current look I proclaimed the bone jersey to be the worst (primary) uniform in North American sports history. I'm not sure if any one piece of this can reach the ineptitude of the Rams' bone, but the package as a whole easily tops them. How can this be two years of work?

Dark White Alt So it's true. No white pants for the burgundy tops? Oh my god! Why copy Seattle of any team? This is just bull? Why do they let Nike do stuff like this?

Olmec Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 What I've gathered from this is that nike has no idea how to design a uniform with more than two colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill0813 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Everything about the rollout today was awkward. "First off, welcome to NOT the best kept secret in D.C." On the stage was Joe Theisman, who confirmed the Commanders name earlier this week. Check the video around the 6:47 mark when Dan attempts to pose with his wife next to the mannequins, and she points for him to stand somewhere else.

They considered that but the Warriors was thought too close to the old name by the Natives they spoke with on it. The name isn’t even one of the worst things about this rebrand, it’s every other thing that’s gone wrong because Nike can apparently only design one decent set out of the six uniforms teams are trotting out because apparently every team has to be :censored:ing Oregon now.

DTConcepts Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I don't think I've ever watched a football game in its entirety before. I'm about as far removed from the sport as anybody can be. That being said, even I think this rebrand is absolute horses#!t "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Warriors also is about as generic as you can get for a name and immediately would cause them to suffer from Texas Rangers syndrome, i.e. your team name having a much stronger public association with an entirely different franchise. As several have pointed out, all they had to do was slap Commanders on the WFT uniforms and slap the W on the helmets instead of the numbers. Done, dusted, easy 10/10 uniforms. The days of us arguing whether white-over-white, white-over-burgundy, or white-over-gold was the best/most proper Washington road look seem very quaint now.

I’m not saying I didn’t laugh every time I heard someone say “the Football Team” as opposed to “the Ravens” or something Ike that, so I understand the need to change. But Warriors was not the answer.

Moseph Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I've been a fan of this team a long time and they always find ways to disappoint me, so I don't know why I thought today would be any different. It's so bad that I almost want to question my Fandom of this dysfunctional franchise and pick a new team. Everything about these uniforms is a step back from the previous set and looks like it belongs in college or some crap league. Its really a shame that they had to go from looking like a 90 year old franchise with a classic, timeless uniforms to this hot mess of garbage, expansion team nonsense. The only thing I can hope for is that in 5 years we get a Bucs style rebrand to bring them back to normal and a top 5 look in the league again.
