SoxSteeler Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 We've come a long way from the days of the early 90's when teams wore traditional block or Champion block, and rarely anything else. Were the Steelers' move to that stylized Nike font the first of the custom fonts, or do the Bears or Dolphins pre-date them?The Bears' number font has been around for decades. The current Steelers' font isn't even custom, it's just a variant on the common Futura font.True the steelers font isn't custom, they just wanted to match the helmet number font that they have been using since at least the 60s. If you're trying to be more unique and go away from the standard block numbers you might as well go with something that has some history with the club already.

powersurge Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The Jags wore the black side panels on both jerseys for the entire 1997 season. The next year they were gone.And it subsequently resulted in the best on-field look they've ever had...hell, one of the best the NFL has ever seen. Why J. Wayne Weaver felt the need to start jacking around with that back in 2001 (when the road numbers went from being teal to being black) is beyond me. Should've just left well-enough alone.I think that any Jags look with gold included in the set is monumentally better than the atrocious unis they have now.
