I thought that might be indicative of possibly letting Houston reclaim Columbia down the road, but now they are doubling down on this. It’s only going to get more difficult now with merchandise sales factoring in to the decision. Tennessee wearing navy/red is the cherry on top for me. If you’re going to insist on keeping Luv Ya Blue, at least let them have their navy/red. I seriously doubt the Titan have a cohesive idea behind their uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's giving me some Slate Blue vibes, which I can dig. Pairing it with the regular red and a gold/copper color could produce a good look. They could also emulate a terrible Avs third design. 2 MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I guess the way to do Tennessee + Titans would be the dark royal and red from the Tennessee flag combined with the Greek color. Pulling up the copper from the old Copperheads concepts is interesting but takes us back to the Crapitals/Wizards palette. Speaking of the Aegean Sea, I found out I've been mispronouncing Ege Bamyasi for 17 years but I had no one in my life who could tell me.

DCarp1231 Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 It would be rather interesting to see the Titans rock some copper pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Am I nuts or did the white stripe on the Rams yellow pants look a little wider this year? For comp: 2023 Previous Years: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comp: 2023 I have no input on the width of the Rams' stripe, but just want to say that it's nice seeing this particular simple two-color stripe design, which has always felt very 1980s to me, on both teams in this pic. It is nearly extinct. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Going with an Aegean blue color could work well for the Titans given their name and the general Greek vibe going on in Nashville (they have their own Parthenon). Add some bronze like the early 2000's Oilers and they might be onto something. Actually the entire state has a weird Hellenistic thing going on given that everything in Memphis (actually that whole region extending into Southern Illinois) has an Egyptian vibe.

It is nearly extinct. The bi-color stripe is great but neither team uses the classic version. The Rams stripes are asymmetrical and the Eagles are also asymmetrical but with a grey stripe between the two colors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comp: 2023 Previous Years: It’s probably due to the new template. Notice how the perforations in the back go all the way down on the old template, but there are two distinct “sections” on the new one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem like anyone can definitively agree on what "Aegean blue" is, but it seems to be a mid-saturation blue-grey. Pretty close to the old Seahawks Blue of the 2000s, but far enough from Luv Ya Blue and plain old navy blue. A color like this needs to be paired with something more vibrant to avoid coming off as drab and muted. But even then it still might not work. Those 2000s Seahawks uniforms had lime green accents but they were still among some of the most lifeless uniforms in the NFL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, the Football Team aesthetic solved a small problem with the original Gibbs look in that they removed the helmet stripes which that set inherited from the 70's which, though lovely, didn't match the bicolor striping. #BringBacktheFootballTeam 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The identity may have been abhorrent, but the helmets have always been gorgeous. I'm actually not bothered by the two-striped pants with a three-striped helmet. It would be worse if they both had three stripes and were mismatched, but I don't see it as an issue as it was at the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 IMO the Football Team identity was fine... Commanders is abhorrent. And honestly anything original would probably be abhorrent. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
