Unpopular opinion: I like these

 

They have nothing to do with Cardinals but the design isn't that different from what the Suns did the 90s

The draft makes no sense as a uniform reveal location. The pick isn't gonna wear the pants and helmet. At most he will hold up the jersey or put it on. And it would completely overshadow the pick (or vice versa) when you could just make them both big events that get full media coverage. 

Yes, they wouldn't go through the work of making that teaser (and I'm sure more to come) just to have Goodell give their pick a jersey at the draft.  These things have way too much work put into them to just flippantly do it that way.

Maybe instead of the 17th, it'll be a week later, such as the 25th, 2 days before the draft.  

Side Note:  anyone in these forums going to KC for the draft?

Its coming out some time next week. The only team that unveiled after the draft was the Rams in 2020 but that was due to covid/gathering

In a vacuum I like these; I don't know that I would be crazy about them as the Cardinals' primary though.

The Cardinals jerseys should be red.

As simple as this statement is, it is really difficult to argue against it 

Historic team, historic colors, historic helmet

 

As a someone who loves sports unis, I'm pumped for an "outside the box"  cardinals set. But deep down, I know that this team should probably be primarily red and white with their classic helmet. 

Either way, the suspense is killing me

Didn’t the Steelers do that in the 70’s?

 

The helmet shell was actually clear but the inside was painted black so it never chipped.

 

I can’t recall if the logo was on the inside too but the stripes definitely were.

Yes helmets were painted that way, but it wasn’t so they wouldn’t chip, it’s just the shells came from the manufacturer clear

Cardinals would go 17-0 and win the Super Bowl cause their opponents would laugh so much they lose focus lol

Most fans want the 95-2008 uniforms with the updated logo, but I'd go this route with the Jaguars uniforms. I'd be cool with the 2013 font like I have on the teal, or the current font like on the away and alt. Both fonts are solid.

Would be a sweet looking jersey

They were painted on the inside? Why?

I don’t mind those, few qualms:

 

I don’t like the grey numbers on the red jersey, I think it’s too dark and doesn’t stick out enough, it’s the same problems the Lions have with their homes. 
i would prefer a red face mask over an orange one, but it’s not the end of the world, 

Please let there be pant stripes, even really thin ones.

Helmets aren't correct at all...colors are close.

[Brave-Bird 08]

Subject change here, but did anyone find it interesting that the NFL released a press briefing on "a QB specific helmet" getting approved "to reduce concussions," with zero photos? 

 

Everything I have read and seen from subsequent reporting on the subject is that it's the Viscis 02 Matrix, which has already been in circulation in the NFL -- it was even worn by Patrick Mahomes, who won a Super Bowl wearing it. 

 

My old journalism brain is telling me this is just a lame PR move and that sure, they may encourage more QBs to switch to it, but it's not a "new" helmet and it was already approved for use. They just know that 90% of the population won't notice and take it an assurance that the NFL is working on improving player safety, when in reality they have a helmet they claim to be the best at preventing concussions YET MOST OF THEIR PLAYERS AREN'T WEARING IT. 

 

Makes NO SENSE.

[Carolingian Steamroller]

Sometimes I feel when a team goes modern they need to go all out and trying to restrain a  design only leaves it half baked.

 

I get the sense the Cardinals are going to go alllllll the way. At least with the helmet.

I’ve heard the bird remains the same on the white helmet. Red metallic flakes on the helmet similar to the black one. A chrome/silver face mask.

 

Also, I think the striping on the shoulders makes sense if they are trying to mimic the sun rays on the state flag.

I’m impressed at how close we’ve gotten to the speculated release date and there’s no leaks

I wouldn't totally hate that...they gray numbers ain't working though.

 

And also, thanks for reminding me that Nikenhas had a penchant of doing some funky shoulder designs on some of their teams' jerseys...case in point: Oregon, TCU, and Virginia Tech. (Which now that I'm looking a this again, that looks like a pretty decent Arizona-ish take on at VT-ish style jersey. And I just KNOW they're gonna shoehorn some semblance of that AZ flag somewhere in their new uniform set; why not there?)

Virginia Tech Cardinals

[Jezus_Ghoti]

Wait, so they are officially adding grey to the color scheme and using this as the opportunity to finally make the facemask not grey?

Bold of you to assume the socks won’t be the same color as the pants 80% of the time. And that the socks will be striped. Mind you, I want traditional color blocking and enjoy striped socks; it just doesn’t seem like either of those is the way the league has been heading since the Swoosh took over.
