One more. (Side note: with the one shell rule officially dead why can't these come back? Sans Sleeve patch.)

 

 

I've mentioned this set a few times on this site and I 100% agree. This should have been the basis for their new Commanders set. It reminds you how historic the franchise is, even if they had a new name. This is one of my favorite football uniforms ever worn.

This version over those. Not a huge fan of the faux leather. Just wish the golds matched

I like the faux leather for throwbacks. Match up the golds and this is still a nice jump off point. For all that is good and wholesome, use some stripes!

I love this set from 1975. Only used for one season but it’s iconic because it’s in ESPN 2k5

 

 

 

Big fan of the blue pants

It was used for more than one season, since there are two different helmets in those two photos. The top is the one season 'disco Giants' helmet. The second is the GIANTS logo with the white-red-white helmet stripe that was used for a few seasons before the white stripes were removed.

I think they took some influence in making the Commanders uniforms. The gold numbers outlined in white seemed a reference to me.

I've never been that fond of the faux-leather-helmet throwback uniforms. I think it's the gold numbers that throw me off. For some reason they look cheap. 

 

I'd always felt, outside their classic uniforms, this is the best Washington has ever looked:

 

With a different helmet logo, these could stand the test of time.

Love this look-

Too much of a USC vibe for my tastes with that road uni. 
 

 

I’m with @oldschoolvikings on hating uniforms that have different colors for the three big uniform pieces (helmet/jersey/pants), but mine is slightly modified. I can give most of those looks a pass, unless the helmet is the lightest element of the uniform. For example (and I know this is an unpopular opinion), the Chargers current home set paired with the yellow pants (rather than white) is probably my least favorite look in NFL history. Goodness does that look bad. Reminds me of a JV football team wearing old slapdash versions of what the varsity team had left to hand down. 
 

I don’t really like the Chargers current set anyway (it looks so disappointingly washed out), but this is the worst look for them by a country mile. Woof. 

 

 

And again, I’m not sure if it’s because they play under that weird roof now, but I just can’t get over how washed out/faded this whole thing looks to me now. Here’s a picture that points it out better to me. It looks like that jersey has seen years of wash cycles. I find it to be so bad while watching chargers games on tv that it’s actually distracting.

This with stripes on the pants would be a great basis for the new identity if they really felt they needed to lean into the military and stencil stuff. Do a color swap on the road, and that's a good set.

The home, yes. The away, no. Too much like USC to the point I thought it was a USC uniform.

I love these chargers unis. They look great and I think it’s a good stepping stone to walking away from the San Diego identity. I know the move sucked but they needed something for their new home and these do the trick. I could do without the 2 blue alts and would prefer they pick either the Royal or the navy but it is what it is.

you're entitled to the opinion on the combination but I think it looks fantastic despite me agreeing with the aforementioned rule of two matching elements. 

 

however, I think they look washed out to you because of the inconsistent lighting/quality of these photos. under sunshine these (and any) charger combos look amazing and vibrant, without the oversaturation like the rams' colors fall victim to. even under stadium lights they pop:

Are the Packers changing to the new jersey template from Nike? I sure hope not as that collar looks awful!

Sometimes players will test out new templates in practice. This doesn't look good though.

The Packers need to update off the mesh jerseys, if they went to the new template all they would need to do is go with a solid collar and make the sleeve stripes bigger in scale, which would be welcomed anyways.

Absolutely. Perfect time for the Packers to update.

You could also say the plain pants are a reference, although I think the team originally planned to use mono way more often. I feel like they would’ve added a stripe if they realized they would like this combo the best.

As a Packers fan, I really do believe that the mesh jerseys make us play better. We've had the most consistent successful results outside of maybe the Patriots for the  last 30 years

[DCarp1231]

Washington not having gold yellow canary on any of the pants is really starting to annoy me. It’s like they forgot half the uniform at home and needed something quick from a catalog

So it’s the mesh jersey and not stumbling into two hall of fame Quarterbacks back to back?

 

Im going to go ahead and assume this is sarcasm.

So all they'd have to do is change to something that only us nerds care about to make the uniform not look like they want it to look?

Why?
