You posted a clearly unpopular opinion then acted like everyone else was wrong for not agreeing with you. Knowing that your opinion is in the minority and owning it is accepting that it's in the minority and not the "objectively correct" opinion. For example: I love these jerseys and especially pants. Don't know why, most people hate them, but they've always worked for me. I expressed an unpopular opinion that I hold, explained why, and acknowledged that I was in the minority. Give it a try, it's nice. 9 1 1 1 1 2 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the serious business that is grown men discussing sports uniforms. Only thick skin here! Jesus man, no lmao. It means if you have an opinion about a uniform/logo and it’s unpopular, just accept that it’s unpopular. Don’t get all defensive that others do not share your opinion. For example: I happen to really like the Cowboys white uniforms, despite the mismatched blues, silvers and all. I think it’s a top 5 iconic look and I think the navy uniforms are vastly overrated. However, I know this is not an opinion shared by the majority so I don’t get defensive with others express that. 5 1 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what you like but bashing the majority for not liking what you like is silly. Okay that doesn't really answer my question, but... Sometimes I wonder if people let their idea of what a team's uniform "should" look interfere with a look that's objectively good. I think the Lions black alt looked good. I think "BFBS," while certainly applicable in a lot of cases, gets way overused here. The reason I'm saying this at all, the reason I think it is of note, is that it is obviously an unpopular opinion around here. I didn't think what I said was that offensive, I thought all the skin was thick around here.

keynote Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 At least the "W" will look reasonably unoffensive on a cap. (Visits the Commanders' Fanatics store) Why is the W so *large*?I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about what a uniform "should be" over its stand alone quality has definitely happened in the past and will again. It's something to take into account and most folks on here do. We could do a whole thread on past uniforms that were good on their own maybe but not for that team (arguably the 2000's Astros fall into that category). 9 minutes ago, HopewellJones said: I didn't think what I said was that offensive, I thought all the skin was thick around here.

jws008 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Anyone have any idea what weird objects Nike will put on an NFL helmet next? I mean after the Banana Moons out in LA, and the new Washington Taco Holders, what will those Nike designers come up with next? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentColon2 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I can’t understand why they’re pushing the Cabernet W on a Cabernet hat. They should just mimic the helmet for the caps. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the latter is more labor intensive, but it would also look much better close up than this. The texture of the burgundy "border" in the W is all wrong.

No, it’s clear portions of the decal, it has to be that way, the rams horns have the same thing, and even the broncos have it on the stripes of their helmet. Any time there are separate elements on a helmet they need the clear portions to keep the dimensions consistent 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
