FiddySicks Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I don’t think that was ever a thing that happened? I could be wrong, and Nike may have made the switch, but I don’t remember that.

BBTV Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 5 hours ago, gosioux76 said: I think @BBTV suggested making them more like soccer goalies: a standard design in a non-team color. I wouldn't have any issue with that. In addition to benefiting the issue of number circulation, it has an on-field function. They are fundamentally a different type of player than everyone else on the field, and there's never more than one of them on the field at a time. Yeah, like some highlighter color or something that's like "don't hit me". It also creates a revenue source for the league to sell ad space on it, which obviously I'd hate (just like I hate that we're even having a conversation about unregulated number selections) but if he helps ward off more jersey advertisements than what we already have in NFL, then it'd be worth it. Kickers / punters aren't part of the team other than dressing in the same locker room and being on the same roster sheet. Hell - even long snappers are totally specialized now amongst many - if not all - teams, so they don't even practice at all with the TEs or whatever position they'd normally play, and simply stay off to the side with the K and P while the real players practice (which for many teams, is just t-shirts and shorts these days.) Hell - some Ks and Ps don't even wear shoulder pads! Let them go shirtless. To quote the rock, "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU WEAR". Seriously - does it actually matter? 1 1 1 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."

It's basically a variation on what the jets are now getting rid of. The lack of red is very disappointing. If the rest of the uniforms were to be color swaps of this design, it would be passable (minus the numbers). But we know Nike is too enamored with their own farts to allow such a cohesive set. “Market research shows that cohesion results in visibly fewer fire and icy emojis” ~some lead marketer at Swoosh HQ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is, in all likelihood, that it costs less to manufacture. 2 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same shade that the Bears have also used since 2002. Yes, that is Midnight Navy which is darker than the more common 289 that a lot of navy teams use.

I don’t think there was ever a switch, and they’ve used the darker navy the whole time. I wanna say the original specs when the franchise was first announced (with the white helmet sample) may have used a lighter blue, but I could just be imagining that.

CaliforniaGlowin Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 They did imply there was a "uniform for everybody" in the set, so the reviews on this are not surprising. Quote Last updated 5/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tscuzzy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 when you do a side by side , to me its a clear upgrade, even though its not that drastic. i expect the navy uniform to be a slight update like this one, and the other two to be more distinct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you zoom in on the original and look at the reflection on the far right, is that a red stripe with white piping in the reflection?
