oldschoolvikings Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 28 minutes ago, Dynasty said: I'm starting to realize that the Commanders' number font might be another thing that sucks about their uniform. Looking at Daniels' jersey number, it somehow looks to me like a 5 and a 6 at the same time. I can't unsee it for whatever reason. Yes, the Commies' number font is bad. It's bad at home with that stencil cut, and it'd even worse on the road with that truly awful pattern they've shoe horned in. But it's also embarrassingly lazy. Compare the font that was given to the Bengals in '21 to the font that was given to the Commies in '22... They're not exact dupes but close enough in a number of ways to see that there was a connection. Look at the 9 especially. If it isn't the same designer, they at least both a have root in common. 9 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Cincy’s looks good. I don’t think Washington’s number font would be a problem in a well-designed set. I think the Rams do a much, MUCH better job with number gradients; the Commies should drop those. But the font is far from the worst thing about Tanya’s parting gift to the team/double middle finger to good taste. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Looks good in action (tho not as good as blue socks). Still hope we actually see it on field this year. 9 1 1 1 2 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New unis always look better drawn, and at the reveal, than they do in action. And I didn't think they looked that good then, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd set the O/U for the number of times that this combo actually sees action during the season over a monochrome or leggings combo at around 2.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lahaye7 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Nike fixing something that didn't need to be fixed. Should have kept the number font and the helmet striping. At least the pants HAVE stripes. Can tights be be made with stripes to mimic socks? 2 Quote I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 It’s a little hard to tell, but the Vikings and Jaguars rookies in this photo are absolute goofballs for not wearing color socks with the white pants 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsFan12 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The Saints love the gold pants on all occasions besides actual games. Broncos need navy socks to match the helmets, but they will probably wear a different combo every week anyway so who cares. Why are the Jets the only team in white? Vikings are the only team doing white leggings unless I missed one (Jaguars?) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely goofy of McCarthy to wear white socks here when even the Eagles’ guy isn’t doing it. But Minnesota is the second-biggest offender after Philly in that category. Wonder why the Eagles’ guy was given color socks and the Vikings’ guy wasn’t? It’s also nice to see the Jets’ legacy white worn properly. I suspect they’ll wear the traditional color combos more than many teams. Kinda weird that everyone else is in color jerseys though. Also…who are these guys? The Dolphins’ and Rams’ guys aren’t first-round picks. I don’t see anyone from the Chiefs or Cowboys or Browns here, off the top of my head. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see anyone from the Chiefs or Cowboys or Browns here, off the top of my head. It’s determined by invitation only and who the trading card company deems “most collectible” and the NFLPA deems “most marketable” i.e. it’s probably why we got CMC’s brother Luke there for the Commanders and not any of the 4 other guys between himself and Jayden Daniels. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_Star Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 15 hours ago, MCM0313 said: It’s weird because I don’t think they ever officially changed their PMS shade. From 2002-23 their official main color was…don’t recall the Hex, but RGB is 9-31-44, which is the same shade the Bears have had since the late 1990s. Basically, they are not different shades to each other's. Same goes for the Cowboys. The navy they use is always this seemly shade here, The fabric changes between Rebook and Nike did the trick. I do not think Nike new the difference between dark navy blue, dark steel blue, and nautical blue. But I guess Nike did the same to them like how they got confused with the New York Jet's Namath era uniforms new green they kept mis matching.

Geez, the Rams need the athletic gold back. The Saints need mustard gold and ditch the khaki goofy look. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
