BBTV Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I've had time to let it sink in, and I still think it's awful. The college-sized wordmark is still crap. The sleeve-wordmarks are still crap. The complete mismatch between home and road and alternate is crap. The leotard look is crap. The solid-red pants are crap. But the helmet is cool. 11 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Jymp Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Last time I saw a Cardinal in the yard it didn't have any silver on it whatsoever, who came up with the silver ??, the birds colors are red, black, & yellow, then the desert Cardinal is red, tanish, yellow, look at the bird . 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay particular attention to the remark made at the 2:25 timestamp regarding the alternates... so she's saying they had to either release the alts now or wait a few years? Wonder if the rule is same for helmet, jerseys, and/or pants. At 1:45 it's interesting that she says "Michael was really emphatic about the ...stripe". Sounds to me like they originally wanted the whites to be blank too! SLEEK. MODERN. CLASSIC. lol - BLANK. EMPTY. BORING. UNIMAGINATIVE.

BBTV Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 That would work. I still don't like sleeve wordmarks, but I get that's just how it is these days. They could put "ARIZONA" instead of "CARDINALS" on the red one just to keep with what they were claiming they were accomplishing by putting the silly-ass huge wordmark on the front. 5 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

DCarp1231 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 They could’ve pulled a Washington and had “CARDINALS” on the red jersey and “ARIZONA” on the white jersey. Related note- Other than the helmet, that’s the only other thing I like about Washington’s uniforms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Red (or any color) mono jersey-pants-socks with a white helmet is still trash even if they get the striping right. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I just realized the CARDINALS wordmark exists on both sides, which is annoying. It's already an unnecessary "slap on" feature that becomes the entire emphasis for the "modernized" version of a classic, but it's so redundant if it's on both sides of the jersey. Meh.

Because how would we know what state they are from if it isn’t in huge bold letters that are way too close to the top of the numbers??? Also a pants stripe? Come on. All football unis should look like terrible leotards because COLOR RUSH. If you can’t rush your colors you can’t rush the football. It’s just science. 1 1 Quote My teamsNCAA: Washington StateMLB: Seattle MarinersNFL: Seattle SeahawksNBA: Portland TrailblazersEPL: Liverpool FCMLS: Seattle Sounders FCNHL: Pittsburgh Penguins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh, is it though? The uniform has no other indication about which team it is, other than the little logo on the back neck that no one sees. The overreaction to the wordmark tucked into the sleeve stripes is really silly to me; you guys don’t want a team name on front, you don’t want a team name on the sleeves, you don’t like the team logo on the back neck, but these are still “BLANK. EMPTY. BORING.” I think it would be refreshing if most of you just admitted that no matter what Nike or any team does, it’ll never be good enough. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
