Brian in Boston Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 While j'villejags has done a nice job in rendering his concepts, I still maintain that such a move by the Jaguars would be a DOWNGRADE. The lack of Gold anywhere on the uniforms besides the helmets is a MAJOR mistake in my opinion. It leaves the uniforms far too bland. It's too bad, as the original Jaguars uniforms were, to my mind, perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad, as the original Jaguars uniforms were, to my mind, perfect.I think they're de-emphasizing the wrong color...they should make teal and gold the main colors and have black for highlights. If this is Weaver's idea for making the team look more distinctive, he's wrong. If they at least added teal pants to the road uni it may have some merit.

Gothamite Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'd tend to agree - teal and gold ought to be the main colors.I'd be shocked if the Jags came up with anything as classy as that home concept by j'villejags - don't know why, but I just don't see this update ending nearly so well.

Jezus_Ghoti Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Looks like merchandise with the new wordmark is already available at the online shop.http://jaguars.teamfanshop.com/NFL_Jackson...Jaguars_JacketsWhich one of those 40 different fonts do you think is the new wordmark? None of them match the truck, from what I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's too bad, as the original Jaguars uniforms were, to my mind, perfect.No disagreement there, but short of rolling back to that -- which they clearly aren't going to do with this redesign -- I don't think this is a bad way to go. The concept (and eventual unveiled look) may not be an upgrade from the originals, but it certainly is an upgrade to this in my mind (and the road uni with no teal that complemented it):(Also, I agree that teal socks would be better.)

sacker12 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 If I had to guess, the wordmark with the Serpentine-style font is the actual new one. I would expect the numbers to look similar to Texas Tech (that is, if the new numbers are in fact similar to the new typeface). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them match the truck, from what I see.Indeed, most are either generic varsity block fonts, fonts used by Reebok across many teams and leagues, or the old wordmark. Admittedly, the font that was on the truck did look like one of those fonts Reebok uses for apparel in many different leagues, but it's not exactly the same.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 If you remove those Bronco stripes, I think the j'villejags concepts are perfect. And no, I don't care about the gold. I never cared for it to begin with, and wouldn't miss it if it were gone. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'villejags Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Any updates on the new threads? They should be officially released in the next couple weeks. I've heard a couple of different dates so I'm not sure exactly when. In the meantime, I have been hoping something juicy would leak out. My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done.

bigdub81 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Personally I liked the Jag's font because it had evolved over the years and with the serifs it looked great the way it kinda' flowed into the serifed points. The font used in the concepts j'villejags reminds me too much of Atlanta and the Arizona which by themselves have a similar look. I don't see why eliminating gold as a thrid stripe in the numbers makes the concept any better. Too much black is what destroyed their look minus a few small changes that they could have made to the existing set...I don't see the need for a complete overhaul!

Blue Falcon Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 If the Jaguars owner really wants to make the Jags look more distinctive on the field, maybe he should consider changing the helmet from black to teal. Nobody wears a teal helmet, and I think the logo would stand out better on teal anyway. Here's a concept from MG Helmets: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpawstu19 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I wouldnt mind seeing a black helmet with teal flakes in it...giving a hue of teal but still a black helmet...im pretty sure someone on this board did a mock up of a helmet like that....or maybe a photoshop pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 That teal helmet is surprisingly nice. And it does fix the problem of the Jags' logo looking too muddied on black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 True enough.They either need an outline around Hairball Kitty or change the helmet color. Not being a huge fan of additional outlines, I vote for the teal helmet. Even setting aside that it would be unique in the NFL. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

burgundy Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Does anyone have a teal helmet? The only one I can think of is Hamburg, and I thought they looked cool. Too bad that's not what the Jags are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
