Unpopular Opinions

[gimmick]

I love those Anaheim Ducks Reverse Retros, too (all together now , "make them your primaries").

However, I read that they will be wearing orange pants with them. Why?? 

Since the bottom of the jersey is orange, wouldn't the uniform look better if they wear black pants?

These are my favorite uniforms of the nfl. 

Literally at most just make the helmet all black. Coughlin overreacted way too much and the jags have the most boring uniforms in the league now.

They’re not my my “favorite” ever or anything, but agree that they’re a great uniform. Honestly… I kinda liked the two-tone helmet and actually think that it tended to elevate the more white and black focused combos of theirs from “decent” to great.

 

Only things I would’ve did differently is: 1) wear black pants with the white jerseys more often, and 2) make the pants stripe a bit less blocky, as it looks kinda weird and floaty from certain angles.

Here’s my (admittedly inflammatory) opinion: disliking the Steelers’ number font is literally one of the worst takes I see on this site. It looks amazing, is distinctive to them, and is the only thing that prevents them from looking generic.

I completely agree with this take. With the block, it's a classic look and still a top-tier look in the NFL, but the futura works better. It's unique without being too modern or too bland. Block numbers, while classic, are boring, especially when most of the league uses them. Plus, it's the only thing setting them apart from Iowa, though I'm well aware they modeled their uniforms after the classic Steelers set.

 

I can see sticklers for tradition preferring the block numbers, and that's perfectly understandable. But I don't see why people out there downright hate the futura numbers like I've seen some on the boards do.

 

I like the Bears' number font for the same reasoning. It's timeless like a standard block font, yet more tasteful for the modern day. It's interesting that they began using a sans serif font over 50 years ago compared to the Steelers introducing the futura in the late 90s.

The best Cleveland Browns look has always been white jersey on white bottoms.

The Steelers' uniforms are more than just their numbers, and it's not like the Futura numbers completely ruin the uniforms. 

 

BUT

 

In my opinion, the Futura numbers don't belong on the jersey and should be replaced by a block font. 

[sky1324]

Replacing the numbers on the Steelers' uniforms wouldn't make it a good uniform by itself because the Steelers uniforms aren't good to begin with.

I guess my unpopular opinion is that the futura numbers DO completely ruin the uniforms.

speaking of teams that wear some form of black and yellow: I don't like the Golden Knights' gold jerseys. I haven't since they were unveiled, and I'm really irked that they made them the primary homes. at least they have a top-5 RR.

Come on y'all, these are the best (with white pants)

This is the exact opposite of what I want to see the Broncos do. This is their inferior uniform design with their inferior colors. 
 

They should use the reverse full time (current uniform and logo, minus side panel, but in their old colors).

 

The D logo is way overrated and outdated in my opinion. Their current logo is a perfect modern NFL logo. Same with the number font. The only things they screwed up with their current uniforms were the side panels and switching from that beautiful blue to drab, boring navy.

NGL, I like the Toronto Blue Jays' 2003 logo IMO.

“Los Angeles Halos” or “Anaheim Halos” would be a better and more sensible official name than Los Angeles Angels

The Atlanta Falcons unis are underrated. I truly don't see why people think they're so bad. It's like, "oh there's chrome, AUTOMATICALLY BAD." The chrome is tastefully done. The font is good. The unis are basic and inoffensive, with the one design element being a nice tie-in to their logo. "ATL" works for Atlanta. It cannot be judged the same way as something like "DET" for Detroit would be, for example. Just as Phoenix can get away with "PHX" and Philadelphia can get away with "Philly," Atlanta can use "ATL." The Falcons are a perfectly-restrained modern uniform.

No, it's not like that at all.  There is at least a half dozen things wrong with that uniform set before getting to "chrome.".

[DCarp1231]

The Falcons do have a bad uniform in the sense it’s a little too basic and restrained with odd design choices

Side panels only work on basketball jerseys. They look horrible in all cases in every other sport. You say "ATL" works, but I think it looks ridiculous. I also much prefer the Falcons in red to black.

 

Other than that, they're not that bad. They're a slight upgrade to their previous uniforms, which also weren't that bad honestly.

 

They're far from the lowest tier on the NFL uniform scale - which the Tennessee Titans have all to themselves - in my opinion.

I'm not sure how popular or unpopular this is, but I really dislike the Rangers' second Reverse Retro. Especially on the ice, the contrast between the red and blue is jarring, and the color proportions feel really off, especially for a Rangers sweater.

 

They're not as stupidly minimal as their first Reverse Retros though, so I guess they have that going for them.
