Nope. Down a rabbit hole, but here's the money shot: "The player becomes the Jaguar," said designer Todd Van Horne. "The player is coming out of the shadows on the hunt."

I never considered how bad it'll probably be. NEW YORK JE (NEW YORK) TS (JETS) (football) Unless they use the NY alternate to avoid that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI: I wasn't the one who responded "Yikes" to both silver & gold being used, just quoted someone else saying that with my own jocular link to a Christmas song called 'Silver and Gold'.

Why do you think that is? In other words, when would a long-standing alt selling more than a long-standing primary NOT be an indication that the alt is perceived as the better jersey? 1 It's where I sit.

Let's assume that most Saints fans agree that the alt is good and the primary sucks. They're still going to sell a lot of primary jerseys simply by default - people are going to buy what the team wears. They're also going to buy the throwbacks because they're cool, and somewhat of a novelty since they're only worn a few times. If they get rid of the primary and elevate the alt, then they're only selling one jersey, and it's no longer a novelty. It's almost like keeping a lousy primary around helps sell more alts, while also selling itself. Of course, there's a simple solution - elevate the throwback, and then come up with a legitimately good alt to take its place. 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."

I nominate... ...I mean, because 1) Before 2005 that was the greatest—and until '05 the only—era of Saints history and b) that'd truly be a different look from the [hypothetical] primary. Plus, as rudimentary as it was at the time, those sleeve boots are just too nostalgic to be lost to antiquity. (That plus offset outlines are so 80s it's almost beautiful...and I think that era was the last time a Saints black jersey had white numbers, too, so it'd really be alternate.) Although...if this were to come to fruition, it'd probably mark the first time a team's throwback jersey was actually newer than it's primary jersey, so there's that. 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...
