Gothamite Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The only way you can call this set hideous is if you're illogically and militantly anti-piping.Or, you question the wisdom of combining a blocky, more "traditional" number font and wordmark with modern, "flashy" elements like the aforementioned piping. Or, you question the wisdom of eliminating the color Gold from the entirety of the uniform, save the logo on the helmet. Or, you question the wisdom of "simplifying" the uniform set to the level of boring.HIDEOUS!!!Agreed - there are many logical reasons to call this hideous. No miltancy required.Personally, I am militantly anti-piping, but the piping is the thing on this set that bothers me the least. I barely notice it, in the middle of the overall catastrophic downgrade. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camden Crazy Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 All they had to do is add gold and these would be great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cward Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I've certainly seen worse uniforms before, and I wouldn't even put these in my own personal "top 10 worst uniforms" list.Since when was the goal in sports branding to simply avoid the 'top 10 worst' list?There is no reason to excuse mediocrity. The jags blew it...big time. www.skyedesignstudios.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It's probably too minimal for most on the board but I would have loved this set if they would have simply left the jersey striping off. Great helmet though. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The Jaguars just went from owning one of the most identifiable uniforms, to having one of the most bland sets in the NFL today.The gold is all but gone. They picked out some sorta modern looking block numbers when the previous ones were 2384 times better. There is not one thing unique about it the new look at all (except for sparkly teal helmet which I don't even care for). And on top of all that, the Jags didn't even mix up the jersey color scheme (teal/white at home and white/black on the road). Really, why even attempt to change when you're going to drop the ball like they did?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stDownCreative Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 i haven't looked through all the pages....has anyone notice that "jacksonville" is above the team name on the front of the jersey? every nfl team just has the "team name" only, correct? with a "mesh" jersey and the fact that those letters are SO tiny, they will be falling off left and right.

If you look at it again, you will also notice that it's the only part of the jersey that has gold. There's a gold border around the teeny "Jaguars" wordmark.Teams are scared to use "unique" colors on their uniforms. It's a damn shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Funny how the consensus can be that these are too bland, yet at the same time people are raving over the new 49ers look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD1983 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Funny how the consensus can be that these are too bland, yet at the same time people are raving over the new 49ers look.I think both are boring and need more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdub81 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Seriously at this point I don't give a damn anymore! I've tried to find favor for their new set opposed to the previous but even with a few things that bugged me with their old set, I hat these with a passion. The helmet is nice although I think they went to far by applying the same technique to the facemask. OVERKILL!! As others have stated, the Jag's had one of the better uni sets in the league until the addition of the black pants and 3rd jersey. I could forgive them for the pants considering their helmet was black...that is if they would have opted for teal numerals on the away jersey with a striped sock to break up the leotard look! ...Enough ranting....here is my final take on a set that I wasn't going to put out at first. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 i like it.im probably one of the only people who were annoyed by the previous jaguars set, especially the heavy use of black out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody already did a mock-up a couple pages back that basically changed a couple small details and suddenly the uniforms are absolutely stunning. I agree in principle with your point, but I'm not foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 i like it.im probably one of the only people who were annoyed by the previous jaguars set, especially the heavy use of black out of nowhere.Then how could you possibly "like it", when it uses exactly as much black as the previous set??? Black numbers, pants, socks on the road - just like before.

BBTV Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Also what annoys me to no end is the lack of color on the collar. A teal jersey really needs a contrasting collar to look good on a fan - otherwise, it looks like you're wearing a practice jersey.I feel the same way about piping on colored-alts in baseball too - no piping - practice jersey.

Blue Falcon Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 From what I've been seeing on the 'internets', it seems that Jags fans themselves are split on the new look. Some polls say about 60% of them like them, some are more around 50%...in either case, the Jags definitely did NOT hit a home run with this one.

seahawk9 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Ok, heres my submation, Hate the black road pant combo. Numbers on the white jerseys need to be teal again. Wear white pants also on the road. Would love to see teal pants. Home teal jerseys are ok with design. Simple, no need of wild ass. arena league stripes or piping. Need some sort of gold trim. Helmets, I need to see them outside in bright sunlight to see just how much teal you can see in them. Do the helmets seem to turn completely teal in the sun or just on the sun hot spot reflection ? Overall, uniform combos need balance in color distribution between the two. Still way too much black on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
