mcrosby Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 A detail I don't think I've seen anyone talk about. The Packers white helmet has gold glitter. This doesn't make it any better or worse for me, it just is. Quote https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it just show that the league literally doesn't care about logos (like we do)? Clearly everyone knows that is the Jaguars, what's in the details of whether or not it's the correct logo?

Aardvark Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Glitter is the devil's sand. It probably is real glitter that the players have to deal with because the designers are clearly evil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Denver is a case of death by a thousand cuts. Or in their case, death by 5,286 triangles. Truth. The Texans went from maybe the best number font in the league to one of the worst. And navy blue that’s so dark it’s nearly black is lifeless. I hate it in baseball too. The Broncos would be better if they weren’t replacing a pretty iconic set that they’ve won all their Super Bowls in (although they got obliterated by my Seahawks too).

HOOVER Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 14 hours ago, csura999 said: Red socks really go a long ways in to adding some life and color to the Texan's road uniforms. Red is an overpowering color. When it’s not the primary color, it’s best used as an accent - trim, striping, text and other small features - rather than as a strong secondary color. I think the Texans looked as good as they ever looked last night. I don’t miss the Red numbers or socks at all. 1 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my issue with the Texans has a lot to do with the direction they went with their colors. I'm extremely disappointed that they chose to double down on navy blue. I was hoping that they'd take the popularity of their red jersey and helmet and become a primarily red team with navy accents. Instead the primaries look colorless with a horrible number font and the alternates look even worse. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Poncho Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I know the Old School Purist Consortium will love the uniforms of the Bears, and they are indeed perfectly okay, but they are also overwhelmingly greyed-out navy. 5395 is quite dark, and often reads as black. So, along with the indentically-navied (that's a new word) Texans wearing large swaths of the darkness, the unis for both teams took on a very black-and-white look. This is the visual equivalent of plain oatmeal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
