I had absolutely no idea that this current uni set was old enough to have seen SDS. That’s insane. When you put it that way, I think they basically have to change their look and soon. That’s FAR too long for any team to look that meh to bad. I can't believe those uniforms debuted in 2005 and not 2002. They were out of style the moment from the first snap of the first preseason game. I can't believe they're still wearing them. Related: the Cardinals have my least favorite helmets in the league, but the all black alternates are not the answer. They look like the Falcons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I thought the red flake would be more pronounced. It just looks like a black helmet 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I'm surprised I don't hate those black helmets. They help to tie together the black piping of the uniform. We all know they should just revert to the Tillman-era uniforms. But if they're going to commit to looking silly, those black helmets aren't the silliest part of their uniform. 3 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the original version was flannel! 5 3 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

It amazes me that the black helmet is ironically 1 of 2 things right with the uniform set. The other thing being the standard white helmet.

I'm not going to go the lazy route and say "but they look like practice jerseys", but they need a little more pizazz, whether a logo on the sleeve (and ditch the TV numbers), some trim, or... something. If we get Tillman jerseys with solid-white pants (as is the current trend) then maybe "but they look like practice jerseys" might not be a lazy critique. 5 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Fix the pants and that literally all they have to do. That's what makes the Cardinals so maddening. Literally the easiest fix in the history of sports. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap either the bird or TV numbers (not both) on the sleeve and use the white helmet and they're good to go. For the red, they could either do solid, or maybe even black yokes would be OK.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I've never thought the Cardinals uniforms are bad, they just belong in the year 2003. *ducks behind counter* While their pre-2005 uniforms were pretty timeless, they tied back to a very rough time in St. Louis, and even though they're the oldest franchise in the league, I don't think anyone in Phoenix really has a soft spot for the "heritage" of Cardinals football. A modern get up works since their existence in Arizona really felt like it required a facelift -- afterall, their temporary way of making themselves feel re-born was simply slapping the Arizona flag on the sleeves. I have no interest in them reverting to the ultra-simplified look of yesteryear, I would even be more intruiged if they adopted a new color scheme, possibly something similar to the Coyotes/D-Backs deeper red and sand aesthetic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'm worried it will either be oversimplified or they'll look too much like the Falcons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as a St Louisan, it really is amazing how much crappy football we have had. Thank god for the few Greatest Show on Turf years. As much as I love the look of the unis the Cardinals wore when they were in STL, that isn't the answer for them either. Totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) A while back someone posted Larry Fitgerald in a recolored Jags uniform and it looked perfect. Simple enough to blend in with Cardinals history, but modern enough to be more than a throwback or "practice jersey". EDIT: after some digging, I found the post.
