I can't put my finger on it, but there is something about these uniforms that just looks so mid-tier collegiate. I’ve been saying it all day but it’s a design from 10 years ago. Matte helmet, white helmet, sleeve caps over designed, numbers/words down the pants stripe. Just checking all the boxes from that period of Nike design. Reminds me a lot of the mess Arkansas went through in 2012-2013. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Had a bit to digest this and the Broncos changing kind of hits different than most changes. Their last set was around for a long time, and is sort of what got me into this whole thing as a passion. It was the first time I even realized that teams could even do stuff like that (Ironically, I kinda think this was the time that the teams themselves were also coming to that realization, too). And it was just SO different. That horse was cool as hell and those stripes were just so… Modern. It was such a home run for its time. I think that’s what bothers me about this change the most. The last set was dated, but one of the reasons it stuck around for so long is because it was such a benchmark for what you could do with sports design. It was one of the best examples of this whole field. And it just got replaced with… Whatever the hell that is. And it’s not even that their set is all that bad. It’s just boring yet convoluted and contrived, and derivative of a mid major college uniform that’s been done to death over the last fifteen years. Pretty disappointing change from a team that set the standard the last time they did this, IMO. 6 2 1 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

I can't put my finger on it, but there is something about these uniforms that just looks so mid-tier collegiate. Just my take, but it's like they're shouting "hey, look at us!" - just like a mid-tier college team does to try to get attention. You're not the UTEP Miners of the "who gives a conference", you're the Denver Broncos of the NFL. Dress accordingly. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I’m 32 and navy blue is really all I remember the Broncos wearing besides the odd throwback here or there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craegus Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 3 hours ago, Klondyke said: I will never get why teams don't market test different designs. Just because designers like something, does not mean the public will Because the average fan, or public, have no idea about design, or anthing branding related. On here we are lucky that (mostly) everyone has some idea of design, or at least team history and what does and doesn't look good, that is why we are on a design forum. Joe public doesn't have the same knowledge/experience/understanding. If they did put it out to the public, the designs would be far worse than what we get. So you can imagine how bad it would be. Look at what happens with naming teams when people put out suggestions, they are based around their personal opinion, and have no real idea of actual branding, designs would be exactly the same, and the worst of the options would be selected over the obvious "good" designs .

And to make it worse, the Broncos replaced Wilson for another Wilson at QB. Replacing one who was getting bad for an even worse one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8BW14 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Just noticed a curious thing about the Texans new home jersey, which is relatively simple and inoffensive, except for one baffling detail: The enlarged photo from Uni Watch apparently shows the TV numbers have no outline. Ugh, why? Who thinks this :censored: is okay? Sometimes the simplest solution really is the best one. Just outline them. I can’t wait to hear the contrived, convoluted reasoning for this decision. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Only two combinations are shown here that don’t have matching pants & socks. Why showcase socks anymore? We know what’s going to happen. We’re doomed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonville also took a layer off their shoulder numbers when they wore the two-tone helmet contrivance uniforms. It was very much a 2010s Nike trend attempt that they're resuscitating because they're short on ideas. Also, I know it's just for a mannequin, but the sleeve patch on that Falcons jersey is holding on for dear life. Sew something on like you care, Christ.
