TampaBayEverybodyLovesRays 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....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,I actually believe the green is a nod to New Jersey's pine barrens, which is where the supposed Jersey Devil lives.

BigBubba Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 That is probably the worst Caps jersey of all time; even worse than the current mess and the old clownsuits.Now, give me the blue "checkmarks" any day.The white version was great, but those blues were just awful. Granted, the flying eagle is a superior logo, but that shade of blue was just horrid. It worked fine as an accent, but looked hideous as the primary colour on a jersey. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The template isn't bad, but the logo is sub-AHL hideous.I agree - those sticks look like nothing more than big feet sticking out from the bottom of the logo. Awful. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Even though the crest sucks, I always liked those jerseys. The copper and black look great together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Posted this in another thread:Very subtle but very effective.Not a fan of these; their currents are much better. These uniforms just makes them look like they're trying to be the Roughriders.Yes, the current ones are better. That's not the topic though. What's above with the black added is much better than this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Minnesota North Stars:I've always had a soft spot for this color scheme. The addition of black just makes this pop. *drool* Totally love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingjai Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 To my eye, this is an example of black not working. I don't like to see black used with other dark, less saturated colors like maroon and navy. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxmc89 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 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.Love these uniforms, wish Phoenix would wear them more often though.The Coyotes wore black jerseys from 1996 to 2003.

BrianLion Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I dont mind black as an accent on the Lions uniforms, just give me my blue facemasks back. Think this looks much better than the current black. yes I know it's a mini helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I have to disagree on this. Neither the green helmet JETS logo nor the white helmet oval NY Jets logo is a winner, they both stink to high heaven, but of the two uniform sets, I think the green helmet look is better. In an age where shoulder stripes do not loop to the armpit (e.g. Colts, UCLA) it is not a good idea to have a uniform which depends on shoulder stripes unless you do what the Texans do and clip them. Add to this the fact that Nike cannot match the greens, so you end up with a dull grey green on one part of the shoulder and a slightly brighter green on another and the Jets are just a huge mess.Give me the Boomer/NY Sack Exchange look any day of the week.
