Brian in Boston Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum's Dr. Ian Malcolm, "Your design team was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." Nike headquarters has become the athletic design equivalent of Isla Nublar. Come to think of it, "Chaos Theory" would be an apropos name for a uniform system in which none of the individual unis - home, road, or alternate - exhibits any truly cohesive design uniformity with one another. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Designers may be hamstrung by the client's tastes, whims and desires... but normally there's a way to make the client happy and still do some good design work in there somewhere. For example, incorporating black into the road uniform may have been a directive from the Washington market research team or it may have been a prerequisite from the NFL saying that if they want an all-black alternate uniform they need black on the primary uniform somewhere... but the blame for executing it the way they did still falls on Nike (and their designers). 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPHF Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The helmet is the only place where the stenciled logo is applied in a stenciled kind of way (even though a W doesn't necessarily need to be stenciled with those breaks). The outline/background used on the logo elsewhere, and on the numbers, makes zero sense and just makes it look like a poorly drawn 3D letter - or origami as others have said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am convinced MLS teams have 0 power. They tell the league office they want a change and they hire some tone deaf logo designer and adidas just does what they want, and the league forces them to keep it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Monochrome is always bad. Monochrome with matching solid socks is worse. Monochrome with stripeless pants? That just checks all the garbage boxes. Impressive. 19 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGoBlue98 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I like how the Commanders have a relatively unique color scheme. However, I feel like I’m in the minority but wouldn’t mind having their colors be red, white, and blue since they are in DC. I wouldn’t mind city cohesion (like Pittsburgh).

hugevolsfan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 These are typical Nike garbage. They have no color balance from helmet to Jersey to pants as usual. I mean let’s just not do any designs to pants.

The 49ers helmet logo is the team name. Washington made sure this logo could not be remotely construed as offensive to any group TBD. Jason Wright is leaving things like a mascot and fight song to the fans to come up with because they couldn't figure it out themselves in two years. Ya I have a huge issue with the Giants logo. It’s super boring. Don’t get me started on the fact they play in Jersey… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Honestly I thought their prior uniforms were fantastic. I know it won't sell new merch, but I really thought they should have just kept their existing look with a new name. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Commanders I'm trying to remember which unveiling actually crashed the boards and site. Was it Buffaslug?

schultzcore Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Is there a dedicated landing page with full photo reveals, etc. like other teams have done recently? On the team site there's just 17 images, none of the back of the BFBS helmet, etc. Also, these Commander cars that have been riding around DC all day are adorned with the old 'Skins helmet striping...
