They have to wear red socks with this one to really make it work, and so far they haven't (which is weird...because technically they could). 6 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Remove the logo from the sleeve and you've got what i believe San Fran should be wearing. It makes good use of the black in the logo, combines the fan-favorite throwbacks with the iconic, recognizable classic look. I love these: I think what really did it in was the shading on the sleeve stripes. You add that to outlining and drop shadow in three color numbers plus 5 stripes pant stripes (which don't match the helmet) and it just becomes too much clutter. If they went with plain mono color sleeve stripes or used the NW stripe from the pants alla the Lions of that era, they could've really had a look that stuck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathysphere Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Alright, we get it. It’s black and white. Strangely, this is also the combo that they initially announced for their game at KC earlier in the season, but they wound up in black socks anyways, which is what I would have expected to be their preferred road look for the big stage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsFan12 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Really, Jags? This combo hasn't been worn since their Week 10 loss at......Kansas City. Plus they've been crushing it in the teal pants lately. What a serious letdown. I was even half-convinced I'd be cool with them sticking with this uniform design going forward if they were gonna regularly wear the teal pants on the road, but a big stage like this would indicate that they still value the boring, teal-less white over black combo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Every time Jacksonville wears a uniform without teal as a base of any garment they should get fined by the league. 13 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleVermilion81 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'm totally fine with this look. It actually feels pretty close to their old away look with black pants (minus the number outlines) so for me it feels very Jaguars. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Well that Jags combo could be worse, but it could also be a hell of a lot better. For a team that chose to designate teal as primary, I know it’s only the jersey, they sure as hell love to avoid it at all costs 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was after a random move from teal to black road numbers and a decision to take the stripes off the black pants. I don't think there's even a plurality of Jacksonville fans who preferred this move, which basically sucked all of the teal out of the uniform. This look never felt like the Jaguars to me, nor does the new set when they don't wear teal jerseys, pants or socks 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This look never felt like the Jaguars to me, nor does the new set when they don't wear teal jerseys, pants or socks That move wasn't random in the least; it was 100% deliberate, at the behest of one J. Wayne Weaver, former owner, who apparently abhorred the teal. The abhorrence first manifested in '03, picked up in '05 with the removal of the stripes on the black pants—and carried over into the away look in the '09 redesign (that i keep trying to forget ever existed, except the current wordmark is a modified holdover from that era, so...). You're also correct that most of the Jags fans didn't particularly care for it—I know I sure didn't. Enter Khan, and with him, more of an emphasis on the "Black and Teal" marketing thing that's persisted ever since. Since we're on this, I've actually convinced myself to accept the reality of a black primary jersey IF they decide to keep to only teal pants home and away, with black pants under teal jerseys as alts (as I stated in a previous post). I'm actually planning to write a personal-penned letter to the organization advocating for just that; if any of y'all wanna co-sign this thing with me, just let me know. 3 *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, Khan didn’t like the teal early on, either. Initially, the 2013 redesign really pushed forward the black & gold in their color scheme (see: the helmet). I remember reading that black & gold was the direction Khan wanted to take the team, although I don’t know the accuracy of those claims. Even with the 2018 redesign, of course, they started off with black primary jerseys, and only switched to teal primaries after fan outcry made it clear that’s what the people wanted. Had they not made the switch, they could have easily worn combos that barely showcased any teal for at least 80% of their games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red against Blue Gold against Silver Similar uniform elements that emphasize the contrast Actually I'd say Michigan (home) vs. Ohio State (away) is the best matchup in sports, but for the same reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, that's right—initially Super Mario did want to go the black and gold route...but fan outroar led him to backtrack on that. That is, though, in part how we ended up with *those* helmets...and now, mostly thanks to Tom Coughlin (who also thankfully is now long gone), they're back to black and teal, and nary a trace of gold apart from the logos. I tell ya, that team has gone through some weird branding cycles... 4 *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
