Gr3g3 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Really happy to hear April 3rd. Was afraid it would be April 30th. Can't wait to see some changes, though they will mostly be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, other than a team named for space travel or clowns, no football uniform should be "futuristic and fun". I love the bright colors of the original Bucs set and the classic Oilers look, but I wouldn't even consider those uniforms "fun". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'll get slaughtered for this, but... the Packers are going modern? Finally! Braisher stripes simply do not work on today's shrinking sleeves. Hopefully the Steelers follow suit. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Packers ever went modern, you'd see demonstrations outside of Lambeau that'd make what happened at the Capitol look like a family picnic.Now, I can't say I'd be too upset if they did something like this, but I don't see how the Packers could get away with anything that wasn't at least based on a throwback. Even then, I think that when you've won titles with three distinctive generations of players wearing the same basic uniforms (as the Packers have), you stay with that look.

That could mean putting Flywire stabilization onto the jersey collars like they did with college jerseys. The Oregon Ducks Rose Bowl uniforms featured some new fabric technology called "chain maille mesh" that could find its way to the NFL. These are things that would change the look of a uniform ? making it appear "modern," I suppose ? without an actual redesign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, if they put the Packers in a garabge template like this with "space age" materials in certain areas which discolor at the slightest hint of humidity, it will make them look like crap. Nike's "advanced materials" schtick is garbage. If the materials are so advanced, use them in a traditional football template. This template is saying "look at us! We have different fabrics!"

The no-stripes look is pretty bad. Like Walmart cheap replica jersey bad.EDIT: My apologies to Goth - I didn't realize you put that concept together; I thought it was Ron Wolf's concept that you got a hold of and posted. Didn't mean to offend you. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
