Korkie Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 3 hours ago, WSU151 said: Eagles announced a black helmet for 2022 a while ago but haven’t unveiled it. They chose a black helmet this year because they have a jersey they can immediately pair it with. From what has been implied, the kelly green helmet will replace the black helmet in 2023. The Eagles released a teaser tweet today for the black helmet.

Not really, but what I meant is that it seemed to have a chokehold on sports aesthetics in the early to mid 2000’s (black Royals, A’s and Jays come to mind), then it sort of faded for a little bit. It never went away but it didn’t seem to be so much in the zeitgeist. Now with the 2nd helmet nonsense we have at least four teams (Commies, Eagles, Panthers, and Jets, can’t remember if I’m forgetting anyone) that have released all-black looks and only one of them (Eagles) has any sort of loose right to be able to use black. It’s back, baby, and this time it seems like it’s taking over the NFL instead of MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black is not a color found in the color scheme of either tOSU or the New Your Jets. If you are the Scarlet and Grey, or Big Green, how about you wear those colors? It's where I sit.

Brian E Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 all of these retread jets jokes aside, the jets are within 3-to-4 slight tweaks of a good uniform. it's just that those 3-to-4 elements make the uniform bad (NEW YORK wordmark, triangular striping, the topless helmet logo). yes, the black uni is unnecessary, but it's not like it or any of their uniforms can't be executed well. they just choose not to. i've posted the below image before, and it really shouldn't be this hard to figure it out. insist on the black? throw it in as the middle stripe on the sleeve. 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw a lot of Grey For Grey's Sake and a lot Navy For Navy's Sake as well for a while. The latter being more pernicious since that usually involved the wholesale changing of a clubs color scheme. That's been dialed back in recent years with the Chargers and Rams ditching (mostly) navy for brighter shades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 So far, it looks like the options are throwback or removing color. Given the two choices, I prefer throwback helmets. But I'd also be happy with neither of the two. Pick a helmet and live with it.

My hope is they re-classify the current white jerseys as Color Rush and create a new road jersey that has more orange. I doubt that happens this year, but maybe in the not-too-distant future? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, the way they're going every team should just have an all-black uni, all-white uni, and one alternate with team colors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sec19Row53 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I know these are not actual stripes, and that they are lighting effects. (Yes, they're also off-centered - it's the idea) But I kinda like the effect that there are white stripes flanking the black helmet stripe. It matches the white outline on the logo. I shouldn't like this. But I kind of do. 2 1 It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
