BBTV Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The blue seems too vibrant. This is a daylight game. Obviously lighting is a factor when making these comparisons, but this seems a little far off: 1 "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."

The sleeve caps being a different color from the rest of jersey. Seemed unnecessary. The inclusion of the helmet logo on the sleeves. If an alternate logo was created for this set in it's place it would have looked better off to me. The alternate versions they ended up unveiling. Mainly the navy blue pants. The jerseys might have been better off had the numbers been slate blue instead white. 1. This is actually a positive for me though not necessarily the contrast itself as the method in which it was done. The Seahawks did something rather remarkable and replicated the old rounded should yoke that you would see on old durene or wool jerseys. But they filled in the sleeve portion not the shoulder section creating a sleeve seem that had a rounded cutout. It was simultaneously retro and modern. 2. It was definitely a little small and something better could have gone there but it doesn't drag down the set for me because so hard to notice. 3. When they used the navy pants in 2009, something felt off to me. I think it was that the stripe pattern had to change for the first time which threw it off. (Not showing the lime green tops because I don't think that's a fair representation). My only real complaint is that because the Seahawks wore solid white on the road (which works thematically) we rarely go the chance to see the slate blue dazzle fabric in the sunlight (Seattle being Seattle and all) and by God did those things glisten when they got their chance. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name "Commanders" has never really been the issue anyway, it's really just the uniforms that make it stink. I could get on a board with a visual rebrand that commits more to the visual tradition of the team, but the name is not unsalvageable. Amen. I would much rather Washington stick it out with Commanders than change it to something lame & stupid like "Redtails". I would also like very much to see Washington change the uniform design back to the Washington Football Team era, but bring back the white & gold stripes on the helmet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with the other teams they're bringing back looks from their past that fans and their city have connected with. The Tennessee Oilers were a complete joke that couldn't get anyone in the state to care about them until they moved into a new stadium and rebranded as the Titans. To me it seems like they are doing it just so the Texans cant lay claim to the identity in any way. How will they look now if they introduce a faux back similar to these?

DCarp1231 Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 “Throwback for Throwbacks Sake” is one of the dumbest phrases I’ve read on these boards.
