The current color is more representative of the gold being pulled from the earth as the name refers. Better yet a dirtier old gold like the Saints wore would be more fitting than the champagne adjacent color now. Like the Saints wore, and should continue to It's bad enough that they have this very dull shade right now, even worse when they don't even show it prominently and instead emphasize the boring ass black 2 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.

Bomba Tomba Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Yes chrome does not equal gold, but both are part of the group of colors with a metallic finish to them 3 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could even do a modern, non-traditional look emphasizing wrought iron and tarnished brass with a lot of ornamental frippery and it'd be miles ahead. And that's coming from a instinct to just go back to the expansion look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's coming from a instinct to just go back to the expansion look. I've said it many times before and I'll say it again: The main pants should be gold, and the numbers on the away should also be gold (contrast against white won't be a problem if the black outline is thicc enough) 2 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.

Bomba Tomba Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It's 2024, we can color facemasks now It sucks why some teams still like to be stuck in the past because "muh tradishun" And it's a subtle change that won't ruin a team's identity, in fact it also removes an unnecessary color from the overall palette of the uniform 6 1 1 2 7 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.

HOOVER Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 1 hour ago, MCM0313 said: One of those concept helmets is…teal with a gold facemask. But different from what Riddell has promoted? Also, while it’s probably too busy, I do kind of like the first concept there, the silver one with Braisher stripes. Nice blend of OG, pre-Jaguar-cars-threatening-a-lawsuit design, with what eventually became of the brand. This is what Riddell is currently hawking: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because of tradition, I just think that the grey facemask looks objectively better than a red or gold one. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not1978 anymore. Colored face masks aren’t cutting edge and unique anymore. Teams can make a choice that fits their overall identity, if that’s what they want to do. 13 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't an improvement. Some looks truly are timeless and don't need to be modernized. Here are two of them: However, if you're asking for a future alternate, I'm sure you'll eventually get it, and this is what it would look like: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to assume the 49ers would be the same Just because it works for UCLA doesn't mean it would work for the 49ers. That Light Blue is way less bold/contrasting than Red, and then you have to factor the 49ers helmet stripe in. This may have been an upgrade for the Bruins, but it does not work for San Fran unless you're doing a drastic redesign and getting rid of the helmet stripe altogether. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttep Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I've said it before and I'll say it again. The 49ers have the perfect lineup of four uniforms*, there's no reason to mess with it. *When proper red socks are worn with the throwbacks Honestly, if the throwbacks are going to be worn improperly (as white leggings), I'd rather ditch alternate jerseys altogether than introduce a different alternate. The primaries hold up well enough on their own. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttep Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Before we Cowboy-jack another thread: Yes, it's a classic jersey Yes, the colors mismatch Yes, it would be better if the blue on the helmet and jersey and pants matched, and if the silvers matched. Whether that's royal, navy, or some shade between the two. 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
