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. After sitting on these for a few days, it occured to me that the wordmarks were practically required for the Away and Alternate jerseys because without them, there's nothing that would indicate that they're for the Arizona Cardinals. Placing it on the sleeve makes what is an otherwise very common striping pattern somewhat proprietary and provides some greater visibility I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you're both right, there's the primary logo on the back above the name and the helmets will give them the necessary context on the field. That said, I really don't think it's that crazy of an idea that these jerseys are incredibly plain and would be harder to identify without the wordmark at the very least from a retail perspective. Why it couldn't have gone in the traditional location above the number on the front is hard to say for sure, but the neckline looks a bit more cramped then it did before with this new template. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of the use of a logo or wordmark on an NFL jersey. I think the combination of colors, font, and (where applicable) stripes ought to be sufficient to identify the team. #needsstripes I get that this meshes with historical Cardinals jerseys. I'm ok without stripes but admit that wordmarks or logos are the rule, not the exception. Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this about 20 pages ago on this thread, but this is almost certainly done to make the jerseys more viable for sale as streetwear. Paired with the helmet on an NFL broadcast, there's no need for team identifiers on the jersey. But worn just as a shirt, and absent any identifiable markings, it's just a plain, red jersey. Undoubtedly, someone somewhere has market research that shows consumers are more likely to buy a jersey that's easily identifiable as belonging to a specific team than they would a jersey without clear markings. It's the same reason we have wordmarks on the sleeves for the Lions and a Jaguar patch on the shoulder of the Jaguars jerseys. I can't imagine the Cardinals sold a lot of the plain red home jerseys during the pre-Reebok redesign era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. They'd been god-awful for like 30 years and most football fans there liked the Cowboys. The Giants' 2000-present home jerseys, which are the same jerseys but in blue, presumably sold fine. 3 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but those Giants uniforms had one major distinction distinction: they had a wordmark under the collar. The Cardinals never added any identifying marks to the home jersey.

ramsjetsthunder Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Are there any photos out of the players wearing the new helmets? Literally every photo I see they're either holding it or it's not present. Great way to display your uniform. Smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we see the players making weird poses that they won't ever make on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how noticeable those silver flakes will be. Right now they just look like overspray. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
