Arizona Cardinals new uniform extravaganza

[MrAstrodome]

I don't mind the asymmetrical uniforms since their historical context and the Giants. Its stupid-a$$ gigantic wordmark makes it horrible!

Alright, sue me here, but I like the big wordmark on the home a lot. 

 

It reminds me of a modern version of classic jerseys. Oklahoma and Texas, and a lot of the other Southwest Conference schools. It's not like this is unprecendented, we just don't see it often anymore. 

 

The biggest issue here is the same issue I keep having with the NFL in general, and it's the pairings of the jerseys, pants and socks. Those all-white uniforms are so devoid of anything, it's going to look ridiculous on TV -- in fact the TV cameras might start white balancing on them

How do teams claim to spend “YEARS” on these things and then unveil something that any of us could’ve designed in a half hour? I heard these were “in the works back in 2021”. What exactly did they work on?

I mean they probably had this set approved for a while, let’s say a year and a half max of “design” time, most of that time probably being approvals and minor tweaks as it went down the line.

I will go into more detail later (on vacation right now), but the rumored colors I heard were going to happen were:

 

Grand Red (209)

Desert Gloaming (158)

Desert Cardinal Gray (421)

Desert Night (Black)

Flagstaff Snow White (White)

 

Gradient pants, lots of other crazy details.

I imagine there will severe repercussions for your source, no?

Hate that every set is mono. 

 

Hate the stupid ARIZONA wordmark.  Why is it on the homes?  If you're in ARIZONA watching ARIZONA play, don't you already know they're ARIZONA??  That's why MLB teams put their nickname on their home jerseys and their city name on their away jerseys.

A few things stick out right away.

 

Are these the first Nike designed NFL uniforms to not use a custom number font?

 

The logo inconsistency is really bugging me. Each jersey has a different variation, which are different than the helmet logos, which are different than the primary logo. So technically the Cardinals have 5 different versions of the logo now? 

 

Lack of striping on the red. I get the history there but it's just too bland. 

 

The entire set could benefit from some gold accents. After weeks of "unique color scheme" this is anything but. Black/red is probably the most nonunique scheme is sports.

- Red socks or striped white socks in the away uniform

 

- Shrink ARIZONA wordmark on home jersey x5

 

- Wear the white pants at home

 

And it's actually a pretty good set. But alas.

Not sure why they chose to have all 9 players wearing the same combinations

 

This was my thought. You have three players in each jersey already, so why are you not showing off every pants combo? So stupid.

 

As for the uniforms, they'd be fine if worn with contrasting socks or pants. But nope, gotta be one solid color in order to have drip. The wordmark in the sleeve stripe is dumb, but not as egregious as the Lions. It's much more like North Carolina's 90s throwbacks.

I don’t understand how it always happens…you can see how they started down the right track and then it just veered off into the woods. This reminds me a lot of the falcons. The gist is there but there are just so many WTF decisions in the details.

 

kinda like the helmet though

[4_tattoos]

Can somebody alert me when one of our in house photoshop experts posts how any non monochrome combinations could potentially look?

[BadSeed84]

It doesn't help the goofy new Nike cut makes the HUGE Arizona so low.

STOP PUTTING WORDMARKS ON STRIPES

It's a traditional college aesthetic that has no business in the NFL.  It looks hokey and bush league.  Oklahoma looks great - because their jersey exists within the context of college football.  The new AZ Cardinals jersey looks like ass.

They use a custom number font.

I'm not well versed in the standard fonts, but are we sure that isn't just a very bland custom job? The interior corners are kind of wacky.

[DG_ThenNowForever]

Red over white and white over red would have been terrific and would have at least looked like something.

 

Anyone else find it funny they have ARIZONA on the home uniform? I'd hope Cardinals fans would know where they are.

iut was SO CLOSE to being a great rebrand... and then we see the GIANT wordmark on the homes
