Just b/c a regular uniform was used to take the shadow photo does not mean it isn't a teaser for something new. And, as someone has pointed out previously, the new template is soooo conducive to bringing back the "batman" jerseys that it's almost a no-brainer, or at least very likely someone in Pittsburgh realized it and made the recommendation. Then again, since the Lions Pepsi troll job, I trust nothing I don’t think this template would work as well as some think. While the front of the new Nike Template is great for that “Batman” jersey just given current uniform design and requirements the back would be difficult to pull off well. When those uniforms were used in the 60s player names wear not on the back of the jersey in the NFL and the chevron like yoke came to a point on the back as well. That design would be difficult on any modern template especially now with names needed to be accounted for as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 The Steelers have tweeted basically that same thing before and it was not a tease for a uniform then, so I don't know why it would be a tease for a uniform now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSmith48 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Looks like the Broncos are sticking with the Vapor Untouchable template this year per their media day posts. Either the side panels aren't easy to replicate in the new template, or the Broncos are simply waiting for new uniforms next year. From what the signs are pointing to, maybe the latter?

The Broncos color rush being an exception seeing as that is in the F.U.S.E. The Packers never change so that makes sense, the Broncos side stripe might make it difficult to replicate with the F.U.S.E cut, but the Bucs are puzzling since it seems like their jersey would transfer just fine on the F.U.S.E The two teams effected most negatively from the F.U.S.E template are the Bills (white and blue jerseys) & Cowboys (navy blue jersey) The collars are just awful looking for those 3 jerseys, they weren't great with the Vapor Untouchable but the F.U.S.E is even more of an eye sore. It's possible Tampa is sticking with the Vapor template due to the slight line at the top of the collar on all 3 of their jerseys? Removing the line seems like an easy fix. Buffalo definitely needs to remove the striping on the collar with the new template, they accomplished a clean look on their red jersey by doing this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsFan12 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Denver switched to orange when Nike took over in 2012, the same year Manning arrived. At the time, this was cool, but since their 2015 Super Bowl, it's been one mediocre QB after another and the team hasn't sniffed the playoffs once. No one looks at this uniform anymore and associates it with winning, or any positive feelings for that matter. It's severely outdated and the orange jersey has never looked good under Nike. The only Broncos uniform matchups I enjoy anymore are those involving the navy jersey or Color Rush orange. Even if it's an underwhelming redesign, I can't imagine it being anything less appealing than what they have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver’s uniform is so old and tired i actually hear creaking noises when i look at a picture of it. When something that was once the very definition of cutting edge gets old, it gets startlingly old. 6 2 http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't get is why can't they just use the new uniform template and just switch out the collar to something that works better with the uniform design. Teams have been able to adapt every template so far to account for different designs. Yet for some reason the collars are always untouchable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike did improve the consistency of the design though across players where the side panel is wider in front and no longer cut off by arm holes on lineman and such 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustABallCoach Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I wouldn’t read too much into the template with Broncos. Texans are using the new FUSE (but the version without the dramatic seam) and they confirmed for new next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reebok jerseys looked shinier in general. The flat orange Nike jerseys look okay in the sunlight, but by the end of the game when it’s darker out, they look super dull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is perfect for the 66 jersey. It was a horrible uniform that no one liked. The players hated it and it went away quickly. It's the only uniform they haven't thrown back to for a reason. Apparently the team said they'd never wear them in a game again but I can't find the actual quote. It's mentioned and cited on wiki but the citation link is dead. It will be unfortunate but I'm sure at some point they'll do it for the money since it's pretty much the only one they haven't done. I think the better choice for something interesting from that era would be the 1962 all white with yellow helmet. I always thought the 1963 white jerseys with athletic gold diamonds on the sleeves was interesting but as well all know, sleeves aren't really a thing anymore.

The great point you're making is that just because an older uniform design exists in a team's history, doesn't mean it was good design, or that it should be worn today as a throwback.
