TFoA Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Two words: NIKE. SOCCER.Seriously, Nike (& Umbro since technically they are Nike too) has been putting out some of my favorite looks not only in soccer, but in all of sports. When they take risks, it isn't outrageous like their college football division, it's adventurous but still classy. Exhibit A:They put in sublimated tiger stripes, yet they didn't go crazy. Awesome shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 NBA-Teams that wear their home jerseys only at home and road jerseys only on the road, excluding holidays/celebrations/special occasions-Latin Night jerseys, as long as they are not overworn-Some teams starting to re-embrace pinstripes (CHA, ORL, NOH) - as long as it doesn't spread to too many other teams. Just creates some jersey diversity.MLB-The A's being the first team in decades (I think) to get a regular season yellow jersey - although I'll have to see it in action to know whether I really like it.-The Mariners (seemingly?) embracing teal a little more (or maybe it's just that they are getting a teal throwback? I wasn't sure)-The Rays plaid-billed hats... as long as they don't overdo it. (Do they plan on wearing those ever again?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Color on color becoming more popular.Yes. USC/UCLA looks great when they both wear their home uniforms, and I absolutely loved seeing UA/ASU color v. color in Tempe this year.Also, Arizona simplifying their football uniforms and bringing back the striped white helmet.

Morgan33 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 NHL05) Complicated number fonts going by the waysideGranted some of them looked cool when they were released but alot of them (The Capitals Bronze and Blue era font comes to mind) left alot to be desired.04) Retro FadYes this was on what grinds my gears as well but the retro fad can go either way. Alot of designs deserve to come back like the Devils Red and Green jersey, The Flames retro 89, and the Leafs Gilmour era jerseys.03) Brighter Colours making in a comebackIn the 90's there was a concious effort among marketing wonks to darken every teams colours to the point where they almost appeared black, no doubt to trying to capitalize on the strong merchandise sales of the Los Angeles Kings. A couple examples are the Oilers, Islanders and Stars. Thankfully two of those teams have ditched those dull palettes and gone back to their classic colours. Come on Dallas, bring back Kelly Green!02) Horizontal Stripes making a comebackThere was nothing wrong with horizontal stripes. Its how a hockey jersey is supposed to look yet when Reebok re-designed butchered the league only 11 of 30 teams sported them. Thankfully most of the jerseys released since have brought back this essential design element.01) Reebok's hideous vision for jerseys slowly being phased out. By next season ten of the initial Edge uniform sets will have been replaced with more traditional designs. Tacky design elements the age of Reebok ushered in like piping, front numbers, vertical stripes, those stupid looking socks and templated jerseys are slowly vanishing.

Korkie Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Agreed on #3. The Flyers bringing back the orange really made them feel like the Flyers again. I liked the black jerseys, but they should be relegated to the alts. This year they were eliminated outright in the retro push and I miss them. Hopefully, they can find some balance.

slapshot Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 It's really funny to hear how everyone disses the Reebok Edge template when Nike first introduced it with the Swift template. Remember the 2006 Winter Olympics?http://www.shopusahockey.com/store/p/368-Nike-Swift-Team-USA-Hockey-Authentic-Away-Jersey.htmlOthers have said it before...the teams don't have to use those designs. New Jersey, Montreal and Boston have proven you can have traditional styles with the new uniforms. It's only certain teams that have decided that new materials = crazy striping and piping.

New Jersey, Montreal and Boston have proven you can have traditional styles with the new uniforms. It's only certain teams that have decided that new materials = crazy striping and piping.Yes those teams initial Edge jerseys were fine. But keep in mind these are teams that refused to give into Reebok's vision for the league which initially included tucking in the jerseys (try having traditional styles on those). Make no mistake if Reebok had it their way, the Devils Candiens and Bruins would all be wearing horizontal piped, futurisitc, templated rags. There was an article that said the Detroit Red Wings were presented with a futuristic Reebok jersey during the design process and they refused to change.If you don't think Reebok's vision for the league was awful, keep in mind that they were the proponents for the slug.
