hormone Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 How about the '80 Penguins when they switched from shades of blue to black and gold! It hurts when I see those 49er unis because they were brought up to the modern era so nicely and discarded for that beige, gray, and bland mess they wear now.

Gothamite Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 So... pretty much like they wear now, with a darker gold? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Not exactly. Though I will say...if they had the darker gold they used to wear, it'd look a million times better.I meant the--aw bump it, something more like this, with the previous-era numbers minus the inner gold trim--or with the Clarendon-ish digits if one prefers ***SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT*** *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mingjai Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I thought BYU's introduction of black trim in the mid-90s looked okay (inspired, of course, by the success of favorite BYU son Steve Young and the 1995 49ers). It wasn't necessary, and it didn't really look better, but I would still say it worked. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I think those 1994 numbers are worlds better than the extra-outlined ones they introduced shortly after that. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (Technically, TCU did have black in the 1930's....)God Awful. TCU needs to go back to embracing their purpleness, not trying to look like Northwestern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Have to Agree it worked for the New Jersey Devils--it gave them a good look.But I disagree with the North Stars--they looked better without the black--it really looked like BFBS to me.their previous non back unis were the best use ever of green in a sports uniform.

BrianLion Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Lions adding black as a trim looks great, however I thought the black facemasks were overkill. They should've left them blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Pretty much what it says in the subject line. Post examples of the instances you think the addition of black to the uniform of a team that didn't tradtionally use it actually worked out.The first example I could think of... huge mistake for the Niners to move away from these.I do miss these. Great look.I would actually argue that this 49ers look and the Lions current look are two of the worst looks the franchises have ever had. IMO both teams should have stayed with these: "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coozapalooza Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The Devils make too much sense to me for them to have ever worn green. I don't get it. They're the Devils, they're supposed to give off that "fire and brimstone" feel, etc, red and black is perfect for them.The green ones are cool as an occasional throwback though.

IceCap Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The Devils make too much sense to me for them to have ever worn green. I don't get it.The green could be seen as a nod to New Jersey's Italian population.It could also reference the state's forests, which are said to be the home of the team's namesake, the Jersey Devil.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_Devil#Popular_cultureIt's also why the "fire and brimstone" thing associated with the addition to black doesn't really work for me. They aren't named after the Devil from Judeo-Christian mythology, PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing all these pictures tells me one thing. I almost never like the addition of black. This above photo is an exception. You can just have green and white, but for some reason, this just looks great. Best look the Jets have had.
