MJD7 Posted Tuesday at 05:42 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:42 PM For the Giants, I would simply slap the red Northwestern stripes from their away jersey onto the home, & make the numbers on the road blue - thus matching their two main uniforms while still keeping the traditional look. The gray pants would come back as the primary, maybe with the same Northwestern stripe from the white pants, & I’d go blue socks at all times. For the Panthers, I’d drop silver in a heartbeat, I think the black & Process blue work just fine on their own. Those could be the two main helmet color options. I’d also go with a custom number font inspired by their wordmark, but that’s just me. Other than that, I don’t think I’d change much, they have a really solid look that can stand the test of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted Tuesday at 06:22 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:22 PM The Giants are the one team I’d be open to home/away helmet designs with. I love the idea of the nickname GIANTS at home and city name NY on the road like baseball/basketball teams do. 4 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted Tuesday at 10:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:24 PM Carolina’s refusal to eliminate either the sleeve logo or the comically tiny shoulder numbers is a clear cut killer to the set. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a recent thing. Up until a couple years ago, jerseys with a single digit number looped while jerseys with double digit numbers were a weird curved stripe on the shoulder Quote Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Cunningham Posted yesterday at 01:16 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:16 AM 4 hours ago, Carolingian Steamroller said: It's NY. Capital "Y" going back to the Middle Ages frequently have descending tails. As I understand it, a lot of what has been mistaken for a Y in the relatively distant past (maybe not quite medieval times, but long ago), especially on signage, was actually a particular way of rendering a thorn; this character: Þ or þ, which represents the vocalized "th" sound in words like "the". That's where "Ye Old..." whatever comes from. "Ye Old Inn" was actually "Þe Old Inn", or simply "the old inn", but the blackletter or script way of rendering a thorn at the time was close to a "capitalized" small y. That doesn't say anything about the script logo you posted, as BBTV references. A small y can and is rendered as a capital with a descender in modern script alphabets. But within the context of that particular logo, I can see how someone would think of it as Ny. (Maybe it technically is meant to be a script because the N and Y are connected? Ha.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with eliminating one or the other, but I'm not sure how eliminating one would allow for the other to be bigger. Eliminate the sleeve logo, and there's still the same amount of space above the stripe, and a tiny logo-sized space between the Nike logo and cuff. They could move the logo where the numbers are and make it larger, kinda like (but obviously smaller than) the '96 Patriots. 4 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."

Eliminating the numbers would allow the stripe to fit more naturally and appropriately onto the shoulder. Eliminating the logo would allow for movement of the numbers to the sleeve and once again, the stripe to sit better on the shoulder. And yes, I’d be all for a return of comically large logos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their uniforms have just sucked in general ever since Tepper made them switch to the Nike template. They'd probably be better off doing a full redesign at this point, but Tepper would screw that up too. Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted yesterday at 05:14 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:14 AM Alright, I'm going to have to get this off my chest as a Broncos fan... The fact that the Broncos can mix and match pants and jersey options and look good in almost every single one is SO refreshing as a long-time follower. Is the uniform set as a whole perfect? No. Is it going to age poorly? Probably. But being able to see some more color variety without the whole side panel drama is so nice! I just wish we could have seen the Orange jersey in-game sooner. Can't wait for the Throwbacks. As someone who was born after the Elway era, I've always wanted to see that classic look in-game. And this coming from someone who was obsessed with the Yellow/Brown Vertical Stripe Sock throwback look from 2009! As another side note, jeez those shoulders are begging for TV numbers! 8 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the swoosh is occupying that empty space and that's used as the excuse for why there are no TV numbers, but they put the swoosh inside the sleeve stripe. There's really no reason for these uniforms not to have TV numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never noticed it before, but making this TV number fiasco worse is that the numbers appear to be normal-sized for linemen (as you can see in the background), so there's an inconsistency in how they're applied.
