Maybe that means there won't be any uni overhauls this offseason, just tweaks (a la the Colts) or additions (Rams). Well we've already had one uni overhaul...and there's been talk about 15 alternate helmets (which we assume means new throwback jerseys for at least the Pats and Bucs). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the piping they use now isn't all that special. Take the flag out of the equation, and you're left with uniforms any team could wear. Their uniform history is extremely uninteresting, and it's not even consistent enough to be iconic like the Raiders, Colts, or Packers' uniforms are. Recoloring the Jags' uniforms in red and white produces a pleasing result, but it also shows how much Jacksonville's unique color scheme covered for their plainness. Unless the Cardinals feel like radically reinventing their brand, leaning on the flag imagery is probably the best way forward. I think to some of the old timers (including me) there's an overall aesthetic where after ww2 as the league matured into the tv era the nfl really differentiated its uniforms from college which may have evoked the image of the sunday uniform as professional business attire as opposed to other amateur outfits that did not have such clean aesthetic. I'm off on a bit of a tangent here but the cardinals are one of the oldest franchises in the league and what I am saying is that they do not have to do the over the top storytelling and have every single element embellished like the abomination the rams have put on the field. A nice clean and classic uniform for the cards would be very effective. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you’d be wrong but ok 7 hours ago, JustForFun said: I sort of agree. But the issue is that the flag colors really clash with red. A total rebrand is the way to go. Cardinals are just barely native to the state, anyway. Yellow, blue, and RED clash with red? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but it still sucks on the uniforms. Put in on the bumper of the helmet only and call it a day. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how to find the article again, but apparently D-Hop mentioned that maybe the reason Kyler took all of his AZ pictures down is because he wanted to replace them with new pictures with new uniforms. Sounds like there is finally some movement towards a new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 The Cardinals are a good example of how a design can change when the template changes. The 2006 version looked a quite a bit different than it does today. The angle on the shoulder yoke has changed. The pants pattern is a little different. The collar lacks the inner black piping. The white armpit inserts have different shapes. I've always had a theory that the original idea was to have a red, rounder shoulder yoke that extended to the sleeve cuff with the side panel being its own thing. The black trim is just extra. however, over time it just became a single insert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fine. Who cares? The fact that the contents within the shield (aside from the NFL and Prime Video logo) are italicized while the shield itself isn’t is driving me crazy. It’s causing a lot of visual confusion for me, and that’s a huge knock I have towards it. A design ought to allow for your eyes to be comfortably guided through a composition, and I don’t know whether this shield is “in motion” or not. That’s a legitimate problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take the exact same content, re-arrange it to fit the frame, and it instantly reads better while adhering to the frame of the shield. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
