Chicageaux Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 9 minutes ago, Carolingian Steamroller said: I always thought it was funny that they designed those Packer-style Shamrock Series uniforms for when the game was scheduled to be played in Lambeau Field but they had to reschedule because of COVID and it wound up in Soldier Field in Chicago, home of the Bears. I thought the 2021 game was always planned for Solider Field and it was the 2020 game at Lambeau that got rescheduled to 2026. They even put out a video explaining the Chicago connections for the uniform: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even put out a video explaining the Chicago connections for the uniform: I've never seen the Chicago Flag stripes alluded to in that manner. The proportions are way off to begin with: the outer gold stripes are much wider that the inner section whereas on the flag the blue stripes are much narrower compared to the inner white portion. I think Occam's razor applies just compare the two pictures taken in the same stadium less than a month apart: I think it's far more likely that the 2022 Shamerock series uniforms were intended to evoke Chicago generally and the Bears specifically. While gold is heavily associated with Las Vegas, look at the Prairie style details on the shamrock patch and how the rounded numbers evoke the Bears' rounded numbers in shape and proportion: It resembles the Art Deco styling on the Bulls City Edition around the same time (different company but evoking a similar feeling about the city). 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttep Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I wish some of these teams that release throwbacks from the 80s would take the shorter jersey cuts of today into account and place the numbers on the shoulders instead of having tiny sleeve numbers (the Giants also have this issue). Also, selling Brady creamsicles is dumb when he never wore them. Other than that, this uniform looks beautiful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until your post, I never actually realized how much the 2021 jerseys looked like the Packers. Clearly, their video explaining the uniforms is just their own version of "Nike speak," or in this case, "Under Armour speak." Watching the video and looking at your comparisons, the 2021 Chicago connection just seems shoe-horned in there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBeltz Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 My hope is they do what Miami is doing and have an “away” set of throwbacks down the line, so they can wear the home set and away set like the Dolphins do. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right that they look like the Packers because it was supposed to emulate Green Bay’s uniforms. ND and Wisconsin were supposed to play at Lambeau in 2020 but covid cancelled it. They just reused the uniforms and “Under Armour” spoke it to match Chicago as much as they could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate his explanation and examples! Don't want to continue to derail this thread, so back to the regular scheduled programming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I'm surprised replica jerseys have not gotten smaller over the years, such as cutting off the the sleeves to more of a soccer jersey cut to emulate the game jerseys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they kind of did from Reebok to Nike. When Nike took over I was like these are more Mesh t-shirts than actual Jerseys, like you said soccer jerseys. I loved Reebok replicas.

sky1324 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The Buccaneers should be allowed to wear those jerseys every game. They don't need any other jersey. 5 the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can wear them three times but instead are choosing to wear them only once for a non-primetime game, which is why I feel like all this hype is excessive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
