ZapRowsdower8 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Nice seeing all these beautiful throwbacks. I have a very strong suspicion that the Colts will be going BFBS head to toe tomorrow to ruin that vibe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAstrodome Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 They have an alt helmet and alt uni slot. And black as an accent color. it's possible. All New: NFL RandomWebsite ★ Behance ★ Twitter ★ Geekier Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'm expecting to see the Colts bring back their blue throwback helmets that they wore in the late aughts, paired with the 3-stripe set they've worn each of the last few years. The only difference between the 1956 throwbacks they've worn and a 1955 throwback is swapping out the white helmets for blue. Seems a bit more likely than a new black alt as they've worn them in years past and already have an alternate uniform to pair a blue helmet with. Would be the easiest throwback in the world. Of course, a mono black monstrosity on a team that doesn't even need black in their color palette is never off the table nowadays, but one can be optimistic. 1 Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets just wore G/G/W/G, G/W/G/W, and G/W/W/G, I think it's a pretty nice-looking set. I don't know if that truly does mean anything because G/G/W/G is still technically the primary set so it make sense to be for media day-esque photos. They only wore the green jerseys once(!) last season and the jersey combo they wore the most, G/W/B/B, was something that came up on a whim the season prior to last, so I don't know if there's much to be read into with the Rodgers photo for the Jets of recent years. 7 hours ago, fouhy12 said: Very interesting.

monkeypower Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Catching up, Bucs: Great, but that's not to be unexpected with that set Browns: Meh, whatever Vikings: Meh. They are throwbacks that really feel like throwbacks. I do like their current set, minus the numbers, so I'm not getting all hot and bothered over Northwestern stripes. Seahawks: Great. I do prefer the new logo but I would not be against Seattle going back to those colours full time Colts: Going to be all black right? That Twitter video is not one you put out if you are going with throwbacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If the Colts do go for this "night mode" fad, that would be 10 teams in the league with an all-black option (and the only reason it wouldn't be 11 is the Saints' especially bad black helmet can't be worn with their especially bad leotard home uniform). The only teams where I like the all-black look is the Ravens. For some reason thinking back to night games with them in those, it hits different. Literally nobody else should wear black from head to toe. It just reeks of attention-grabbing for a Tuesday or Thursday night MAC game on ESPN2, or an overnight order for a high school team that has a big rivalry game and needs some extra fuel or whatever the hell. Just doesn't look right for the NFL 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nike set is a nice iteration of the Reebok set, that goes all-in on navy monochrome in a way that looks intentional, the number font is unique in a way that has aged well, the wide helmet stripe fits the look, and overall, it's a cohesive aesthetic across multiple color combinations (though I personally hate blue over white and white over white). The color looks especially drab compared to their new alternates, and I could definitely see a call to lighten the Hawks up a little bit. Comparing the Seahawks' retro outfits to their modern ones is like comparing the two blue liveries of the Gresley A4 (LNER Garter Blue and BR Express Passenger Blue): Both are good liveries, but one has brighter colors and an overall more "cheerful" appearance. The other, more modern take, has a darker and busier look that still feels right. It's totally reasonable to prefer one over the other - and to seek a proper hybrid of the two (brighter blue for the Seahawks and less detailing overall, the later blue A4 with a brighter base and valences restored, etc.). Besides, both the Seahawks and the A4 have worn outfits/liveries very inappropriate for them: 9 hours ago, DG_ThenNowForever said: But for a franchise that went all-in on modernity, I feel like Seattle did it the best since Denver way back in 1996. Absolutely - but Denver returning to that faded-y orange screwed up the look. Seattle thankfully hasn't messed up their colors like that. 7 1 1 MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gothedistance Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I liked the wolf grey better than the lime green. I'm going to miss the Seahawk's wolf grey. I didn't care that much for the "action green". 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the notched serif on the 1, that does match what they wore from about 1983-93, per Gridiron. As for the name font, I thought that could be an effort to mimic the old Champion name font. But I don't know if the Seahawks ever wore Champion on-field. 1 On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

DCarp1231 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 It’s a bit sad the grey jerseys got dumped for these and the green gets to stay. Can’t wait to see Arizona in all black vs Seattle in green. Gonna look soooooo good. /s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
