Would be absolutely perfect and take little effort. I'd rather take the current uniforms. Sticking to throwbacks or going to them because they're "classic" is lazy and cheap. Throwbacks are nice to think about for a time, but the only reason these get steam is nostalgia and the Rams' look was horrendous in the first years back in LA. They hit on the white version of their current uniform. Replicate it as the blue with no gradient and remove the Rams patch and you have a modern look that doesn't just feed on the "Good ole days." To even use the recent rebrands, I will take the Lions trying to transform an old look over the Jets just pulling an old look (for them to lose in them and want something new again). 1 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need to put a blue collar on that white jersey. I'd happily take a blockier number, but won't get greedy. Just give me the collar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwbacks are nice to think about for a time, but the only reason these get steam is nostalgia A lazy argument can easily be made in the opposite direction, too: Changing a uniform to something gimmicky because it's "modern" is a cash grab begging for attention. Modern uniforms can be nice to look at for a time, but the only reason some of them get steam is social media. Uniforms aren't that simple and can't be boiled down to those arguments. Each team's uniforms should be looked at on a case-by-case basis. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updating to the Nike templates to match the rest of the NFL would be a welcome change. I'd also thicken up the sleeve stripes to match the helmet/pants better and ditch the white pants. I sort of disagree with this. There is something I love about the Packers jersey being slightly outdated. Plus I love the collar of their jerseys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if it's the facemask color, I disagree) Some people might not count this as a change since socks are kinda like the wild west at this point, but striped socks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before - "lazy" and "cheap" are terms people use to dismiss something without spending the time to elaborate further. Ironically, the word "lazy" is usually the hallmark of a lazy post! 2 2 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."

PlayGloria Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Speaking on the Rams again, the biggest travesty is still changing the horn on the helmet. They have changed color schemes and uniforms over the years so it's not unprecedented for them to come out with something new. But for F's sake, you had quite possibly the most classic helmet in the entire world and you changed it! It was so simple, so effective, so identifiable. Blue/yellow, blue/white, blue/gold who cares. Just keep your damn horn. And the worst part is, changing the horn led to changing the horn on the shoulders, changing secondary logos, adding lines inside the numbers. It just led to more gimmicks. Mix all of that up with highlighter yellow and bone... well thats another topic 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's 'outdated' are chasing fashion trends on NFL uniforms, only to revert to something more timeless. This look is essentially what the team has worn since 1961. It works and is immediately recognizable as the Packers. Sorry (not sorry) that it isn't on the latest template designed to be 0.022% lighter/faster/drier, but it's the right color green and it isn't unintentionally different shades of green on the jersey due to the latest technologies that can't replicate a color properly. 4 1 Quote It's where I sit.

Just for the record, i was replying to someone who said they are outdated. I do not feel that way. I like the template that they are on. When I used the word outdated, I was referring to their post in which they felt that they were. The Packer's jerseys (specifically their white) is probably my favorite in football. I wouldn't change a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Weird soap box: we need more publically owned teams. You want the public's money for a stadium? Okay, then you get to be publically owned. ridiculous that we can pay for a team and get nothing in return if an owner decides to skip town.
