HOOVER Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 59 minutes ago, TruColor said: I have NO idea if this rumored Maroon, Orange and Silver color palette is actually happening, but I have been talking with that Reddit user a lot, and he definitely has connections. I mean, I've now got the Pantone values for them and the silly Nike-speak for the colors ("Desert Night" for the Black for example). Seems incredulous that they would go in this direction. There's a lot more to the design of the uniforms than you're seeing there - these are extremely basic compared to what this guy is describing to me. However, he and other contact of mine (who showed me the pic of the new White helmet) both have the exact same descriptions of the helmet. That I DO believe. No idea what the uniforms will actually be. I have a suspicion the Maroon/Orange/Silver could be an abandoned concept that is being put out there to throw us all off. If this M/O/S design is truly happening, it might be one of the most extreme makeovers we've ever seen. Except for perhaps, the Bucs in '97. (And they also have a darker Red, Orange and a little Silver in there...hmmm...) Thanks for sharing - appreciate your detective work! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just recalling similar changes in the past, it seemed like there was a purpose in something you might post. I just jumped on the absence of black, sort of looking for that confirmation. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Man, now I’m way more intrigued about this. Sounds like it’ll be something way different than what I was expecting…and I’m trying to figure out how the draft hat fits in. 1 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

I’m looking forward to it; I said awhile back their color scheme is really bland (pitiful if not for their history) and that their brand has probably the lease amount of brand equity and relevancy in the league, if not most of pro sports. so, I applaud them, if any of this is true, for taking a risk. This new rumored color palette can work if executed well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good point about the draft cap; would they hold off on unveiling new unis until AFTER the draft? Rumor I read had a 4/17 date for an unveiling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Just heard that media invites for the Cardinals' unveiling will go out on Monday, and the date is indeed on April 17. With the helmet details, I am going to keep those safe for now...I'm talking about this other stuff because I'm not sure I believe it either! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
