Noted, sir! You're definitely the truth! (Pun intended). I guess what I meant was more of the live, non-official visuals through different means (media, uniform material, football cards, VHS, images, etc.,). Their colors seemed to travel between the spectrum of the official Pantone swatches during that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The helmet stripes were actually altered a bit when they did their first redesign of the modern uniform. So they could do the different stripes. But I'd love to see the "BENGALS" helmet set too.

I always saw it as an "empty space line" since I was a kid. I look at it this way too. When the inside "outline" is the same color as the jersey, my mind doesn't perceive it as an outline. Instead, I perceive it as just a gap between the number and the outline, which is why I always think of it/refer to it as an "offset outline".

PlayGloria Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 2 hours ago, OnWis97 said: Probably an unpopular opinion but I liked the one-helmet rule because of the helmet's role in a team's identity. I don't want to see team identities get watered down. That said, this throwback is Silver Lining #1 for me. I agree. I think they should allow helmets just for throwbacks, but not an alternate helmet if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time I don’t think anyone other than here would notice a difference, even still i don’t know if anyone here realized the stripes changed (if they even did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K, doesn’t mean they can change the stripes today because they are now painted. It would have to be a totally different helmet for something less than 1% of people would notice.

BBTV Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 19 hours ago, guest23 said: Yes it's just another phrase to be derided and mocked by the woefully ignorant. Obviously supply-chain issues are a thing, but we know for fact that these teams couldn't do the throwback jerseys in 2022 even if they wanted to, so it's not true in this case. Or even if it is true, it still isn't the reason they can't wear them in 2022. Seattle is claiming that the supply-chain issues are preventing them from getting retail product, which sounds reasonable enough, except that they too wouldn't have been able to wear their throwbacks until 2023.

Any small differences are likely just a result of switching from decals to painted stripes and trying to accommodate for changes in helmet constructions, but the design of the six stripes has more or less been the exact same for the 40 years it's been in use. Larger point is they could've done an 80's throwback at any point in the last 25 years without changing anything about the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I understand the uniformity of the helmet stripes, but it’d be neat if all the stripes were different for each player. It’s probably not something feasible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 As a bucs fan, I agree that the throwback is cool for a game, not a new set. My issue is now even less time for the red jersey. I also don’t know why the love for the white Bucco Bruce uniform. It was a mess with leotard orange socks-pants and the 77-97 reversal of orange numbers-red outline to red numbers-orange outline. 76 had it right the first time. If I were in charge (and had design skills) it would be red-pewter home, white- pewter road, pewter-white alternate and for the second helmet option you could have a white helmet (like riddell flat white fashion helmet) red jersey white pants or get real freaky with the white helmet and swap the red and orange of the home jersey to make an orange alternate with white pants. I can see these designs in my head and I know descriptions can’t compare to a picture, but that’s what you get from a 45 year old who can’t even use Microsoft paint.

I could see this if they went with something like the white helmet from the options they explored during the original rebrand Facebook: CustomSportsCovers Twitter: CSCovers Quote No because when the Irish came to Ireland and first came in contact with the leprechaun people, they didn't take their land away and force them to move west. Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.
