I was in the 'move TV number to the sleeves' camp, but this may be the way to go. 6 Check out my site at stevebcreations.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But beyond that... no. I was mostly poking fun at whoever said that they look like the Patriots because they have logos on the sleeves. This is no less true than that is though. 2 hours ago, LA Fakers+ LA Snippers said: Something just looks wrong with the empty sleeve cap.

Packers, Broncos, Bengals, Raiders, Lions, Panthers, Buccaneers, Steelers, Eagles, Giants, Texans, Chargers? No need. Bills, Chiefs, Bears, Browns, Saints (long as they insist on those ugly black pants)? Yes, please! Plus other teams whose pants and socks often blend together...Jets, Dolphins, Falcons, Vikings...they could even do custom sock striping. 49ers, Colts, Cowboys...I could go either way with them. Indy would probably be the first of those three that I’d give striped socks, if only because it would cancel out those hideous plain-white socks that they’ve taken to wearing on the road. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not say college did not have striped pants, I said pro pants all had stripes from the mid 20th century until the rams came out with their stripeless gold pants in '99.

Never thought of that, but you’re right. Of course, the vast majority still do. It’s just that some of the stripes are funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFirestormToPurify Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I support the idea that more teams need striped socks. Mostly because I hate the solid white socks look (even more than the leotard look) This is what comes to my mind when I see solid white socks with dark pants: Quakers Foos (the higher the socks, the downer the foo) So yeah, more teams need striped (or contrasting) socks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason it feels like the Chiefs and Packers had a baby and this is what came out. The Niners really don’t need gold on the jerseys, but if they were to insist, something closer to the last iteration (white number, gold outline, black drop shadow) would be much much better. 6 On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Problem with all of these tweaks to quirky uniforms with decades of familiarity and a tradition of winning is that fans will inevitably clamor for a return to the old set because that's what they are accustomed to.

I'm usually against thinking that one team shouldn't do something just because it's similar to another team. But I think the 5 alternating stripes thing should just be the Browns and the Saints. Even the Saints color rush (which should be their full time) wouldn't be killed by losing the striping pattern. The shade of gold and the number font are what make that uniform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to a matte black helmet (or car). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shade of gold and the number font are what make that uniform. The Saints’ Color Rush NEEDS either solid black socks, or white socks with black and gold stripes in said five-stripe pattern. The shade of gold is wonderful, the gold numerals are great, but they need...I mean, ideally, a new set designed around that aesthetic, with pants in that shade of gold with black/white/black stripes. And no plain white socks, ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
