Not to teams integrating black into their colour scheme because it makes for a more cohesive look. Is it overblown and are people inconsistent about it? Sure. Is BFBS a thing though? Yes. As for RFRS, that is a phenomenon that is complained about here plenty as well, and is even called "red for red sake". You don't see it as much because it was much more of a trendy phenomenon than BFBS. I don't see how its particularly worse than BFBS though. Which is sort of what I mean. I always thought BFBS was referring to the specific 90's trend, but I feel like a lot of people lump everything into that category and arbitrarily hate it. I actually think, if it was done right, the Reds having black accents would look just fine. The Flames looked fine with black accents. I was in a debate in another thread about the North Stars benefitting from adding black. I suppose you're right that RFRS is just as much of a case-by-case thing. My thing is, unlike black, it is not a neutral color. So, it seems harder to justify doing it, and harder yet to do it well. Especially when it's bright red. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the mid-90's slanted Blues jerseys. But, at the same time, I wonder like everyone else, "why?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I assume this is unpopular: I like the bottom photo better. I know the top one makes a ton more sense for a team called the "Astros" but the dark blue and gold is just soulless. The really love the earthy color scheme and I wish the D-backs would have come up with it first and kept it forever. 4 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

WSU151 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Unpopular opinion maybe - Brewers should be wearing royal blue instead of navy. The BiG logo just looks way better on a royal hat. 5 1 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTConcepts Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I'm not a fan of these jerseys by any means, but I am a fan of the placement of the anniversary patch and red buckets. Also, the modern trend of all-white goalie pads sucks. Bring back bright colors and fun designs! 2 1 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

Cujo Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I fail to see what's so amazing/mind-blowing about these uniforms. They're nice. Average. But nothing more. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmos World 17 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I think people like these so much because of what it replaced. They returned to their original colors and logo essentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I mean they were going in the right direction with the 90s rebrand. A modern "outer space" design. But then they ruined it with their "old west" rebrand when they moved to Enron Field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BiG logo just looks way better on a royal hat. I think that's actually a rather popular opinion around here. Like I said before in this thread, royal blue is an overrated color choice. The Brewers have one of the best uniform sets in baseball right now, just as they are. Only gripe I have about their set is the cap with the yellow panel on the front. Otherwise, don't change a thing. The dark blue is part of what I consider an overall well-done modernization of their classic uniforms. Hell, if I could change Pitt's colors to what the Brewers currently wear, I'd do it in a heartbeat. --- I've gathered I have probably the most unpopular opinion RE: the Astros around here. Today's Astros > 70's Astros > 90's Astros > 00's Astros To sum up how I feel in as few words as I can: The Astros certainly could look better, but they also haven't looked better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can define the eras as such: Shooting Star (late '60s, early '70s) (color change in early '70s) Sunrise (late '70s, early '80s) (several variations) Rainbow sleeves ('late '80s, early '90s) Navy/Gold (late '90s) Western set ('00s) Current set. For my money, it's Shooting Star > Current > Navy/Gold > Rainbow Sleeves > Sunrise > Western 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Sport Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 The train conductor look Astros of the early 2000's was a good look, but wrong for the Astros. Plus it took the shooting star and made it static and slow. Give me the 90's look every time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I was partial to these road unis instead. The large star on the Houston script looked cluttered, and the simpler Houston script closely resembled the home Astros script. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorBotting Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Did a quick search and didn't see any results, but whats the general consensus on teams keeping names as they move cities? I feel this fits as an Unpopular Opinion but I am 100% for it. Give me the Colorado Nordiques, the Minnesota Senators and the Oklahoma City SuperSonics. And I realize its gets muddled with some instances, or how far to go back (do you want the New Jersey Rockies or the New Jersey Scouts in the NHL?), but I do like the premise. (if this is the wrong section for this, please let me know).
