Turns out the Brady-era Patriots uniforms were an Adidas brain child from 2000. I still firmly believe the Texans saw this new style uniform and made it better. The two sets were essentially the same style. The most telling features are the shoulder stripes and pants stripes. Houston just removed the piping and rearranged some of the colors I always assumed the Texans just copied the USC uniforms but they both debuted the shoulder wedge stripe in 2002. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas ended up buying Reebok (and may have already done so by that point) and the Brady Pats look has all the hallmarks of the Reebok panel and piping looks so I consider them part of that trend. 1 Quote PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas acquired Reebok in 2005. I wonder how different all the teams uniforms would’ve turned out had Adidas shifted the league partnership from Reebok to themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 One thing I really like about the introduction of silver into the Cardinals design is that they used a really reflective version. A true silver, not grey. What it means, is that with the right lighting, the silver can disappear against a white background, as it does on the white pants. See how the silver fades near the hip in the below: Which makes that pair of pants look an awful lot like the early aughts style white pants: Good use of color and material choice to evoke two eras of Cardinals football at the same time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why it can't be. Sure it breaks tradition, but if it works in college, It doesn't. We're just used to it in college. 7 Quote All roads lead to Dollar General.

TenaciousG Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 3 hours ago, MJWalker45 said: More Techfit designs. Techfit is such hot garbage. And the new Cardinals home set is the closest we’ve seen to Nike copying it. Anything to emphasize the shoulder swoosh. The idea that you have to prioritize a jersey where the opposition MAYBE has a tougher time grabbing onto it, over aesthetics and common sense, drives me crazy.

While both are stupid, the Lions wordmark is more vertical and less letters. This means it’s much larger and obvious. The Cardinals wordmark is very wide and is rendered on a smaller scale. Both stupid, but the Cardinals seems relatively harmless in comparison. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cardinals just copied the Tarheels jerseys from the early 2000's.Rumors are that UNC is going back to the Ronald Curry era jerseys, so just an updated template for these: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think rolled out early versions of the techfit design the last few years of the Reebok deal. Here are the Reebok NY Giants and Adidas Texas A&M uniforms from the same year. Not identical, but to me they appear very similar. I seem to recall the Giants were the first to get them in the NFL and had tighter looking jerseys than the other teams for a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't across the board for the Giants, but they were used under the Reebok brand when they were still owned by adidas. That Texas A&M uniform was right before they moved to Techfit jerseys. It has that similar insert to the Denver Broncos designs when Reebok took over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they half-a...ed it by replacing black with silver. Below I tweaked both the red and white uniforms. I even included a second pair of white pants to better go with the red jerseys. In my best Luis Carruthers voice: WHERE did you get that uniform template? (and can I get it in .PSD?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
