Wellsandt Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Reebok has designed new jerseys for the Frankfurt Galaxy (NFL Europe). Guess the other five NFLE teams will have the same design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Dude, what is with the colored armpit area? It looks really tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsandt Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 That's the logo of the League's main sponsor Skoda (carmaker). Also each team will have the logo of it's main team sponsor on the other side. The jerseys look very packed that way. But in Europe it's usual that sports teams have the logo of their sponsor on their jersey. And the NFLE is still not very profitable. So the teams need the money.

Geoff Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 He means the orange pits on the blue jersey and the blue pits on the white jersey. I personally don't thing it looks tacky, I think it look good without being excessively "modern". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braden Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 They look alright.I really hate how the NFL Europe puts a BIG patch of their NFL team on most of the players jerseys.Just imagine that jersey with a LARGE NFL team logo on the front and it'll be more accurate.

I agree. I don't mind the idea of putting a player's team affiliation on the jersey, but why does it need to be gargantuan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Apollo Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 All NFLE Jerseys have been the same style in the past. Can we assume that every team will wear this style jersey!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't thing it looks tacky, I think it look good without being excessively "modern". that's purple, not blue.one thing I figure, unfortunately, the Fire's version will probably have white numbers with black trim (again)...I'm hoping they go back to gold numbers trimmed in white, which is how it was from 97 to 99 (and gold numbers on the road would be nice too)...

Cujo Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 The uniforms are an upgrade, but that logo is still trashy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed the GALAXY-Script below the collar. They will most likely not put that ugly and HUGE Team patch at the same position. I guess they'll stick it on the other shoulder.

Discrim Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 not likely...the last sets, with allocated players, had the ginormous logo over where the NFLE shield and team wordmark would be on a national or non-allocated player. let's just hope they shrink it a bit.on a funny note, not even that would save that Berlin team from looking tacky as hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefOn Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I am pretty sure that there was no wordmark on the 2005 Jerseys. Not allocated players had the NFLE shield instead of a team logo. Same size as the team logos. The logo will properably not be on the shoulder, they need that space for another sonsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Gah. Those team-allocation logos really cheese me off. They even further clutter up a jersey that has sponsorship logos crammed onto the shoulders. Logos that size belong on the sides of a helmet, not the front of a jersey. When they first decided to do this, the team logo simply replaced the NFLE shield at the v-neck of the jersey. Or, here's a somewhat tasteful idea - for allocated players, put the NFL team's wordmark in place of the NFLE team's wordmark.I wish the teams would have their own individual uniform designs again, but I know the NFL doesn't see any upside to putting that kind of effort into what's basically a financial vacuum. If this is the new template though, I've gotta say it's an upgrade over just copying the Patriots' template. Please don't stick those plopty block numbers on these, though.Ah, it all makes me long for 1995... good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 If I remember right, when they first started doing that for allocated players, it was simply a decal on the back of the helmet. That was five million times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilgump Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 The last euro league game I saw they had the HUGE LOGO on the front plus a decal on the back of the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 My guess it that its an attempt to sell jerseys of the American teams more in Germany (Since all but one team is in Germany right?). You know, one of a fans favorites is say the Green Bay dude in the pic. So he buys the Rhein jersey, plus the Packers jersey of the dude, and some other stuff as well. Thats twice as many jerseys. I'm sure that is their idea. Build up the brands (teams) in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Maybe the NFL thinks if it dresses its players like NASCAR drivers, it will capture that elusive "fan of Joe Gibbs" demographic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kess Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I can understand putting the team's logo on a small decal on the back of the helmet. I can understand putting the logo on the jersey.But on the pants too? That looks rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was five million times better. I remember, that was either 97 or 98 IIRC. I remember 97 well: the last season that big-logo jerseys were used before all the teams went traditional (though the Monarchs were a year ahead in that department, reverting from big-logo to a style similar to their original duds, complete with gold numbers at home), and the goddamn Dragons beat the Fire in the World Bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
