pittsburghsports16 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 If the new helmet were replaced by the old teal-flaked one (with new logo) this would be a top 5 uniform combo in the NFL. I'm pleasantly surprised about how brilliant the colors look and how well the black numbers work.You know what? I actually agree...It would be a complete reversal of what we expected (mostly black and gold), but at least there would be some sense of continunity among all of the uniforms, especially this one. Let's put it this way, it would be an upgrade from the monstrosity they just unveiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazerBlaze Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Man. It's not that hard. The Jaguar hunts from the shadows, so creeping into the shadows (fading to black) means it is preparing to kill.But yeah. Helmets will definitely have to grow on me. Everything else is ace.Yeah, ok, but the jaguar logo isn't "creeping" into the shadows. It's leaping in with a head of steam, almost as if it's hiding from another predator. The visual would work better if the colors were swapped in my opinion...Well, actually the whole uniform would look better if it was just a plain black helmet with no keylines on the logo. This is just one of those cases where simple is better. Its not about the logo, its about the actual player. As the opposing player when the Jag is lined up infront of you pre-snap "hunting in the shadows" its hidden in the dark, aka the matte black. You don't see it until it attacks and the player is past you on the field and therefore between you and the endzone. Think of it kinda like the victory/goal armpits of the Lightening jerseys.

AgentColon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 "Let's take the shine off the helmet and make it matte. Now add shiny elements to the jersey to make it glossy."What?One word review: AbortionStill waiting to see the third colored pants. Will it be gold or teal or two tone?

shaydre1019 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 These honestly aren't that bad. Black jersey- great. plenty of teal and gold, good color balance.White jersey- good. Could've used a bit more gold, but still it looks good.Teal jersey- good. nothing too crazy, i just think it wouldve looked a lot better with white numbers.Helmet- terrible, as much as i want to like it, it just doesn't work, they should've faded it significantly, then MAYBE it would've worked, but the basically half and half they did just turned out bad.i'd say these are in between the Bills old set and the cardinals current set.

drdougfresh Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 "Sir, the helmet order is wrong... they're all gold!""Go buy all the black spray paint you can and make them black -- we don't have enough time to reorder""We can only get enough to cover half the helmets...""They'll get the idea.

IceCap Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I still find it amazing how much better that teal jersey looks with black pants.It's the numbers. The black numbers tie them in nicely with the pants. It would look unbalanced if the numbers were white.

Think of it kinda like the victory/goal armpits of the Lightening jerseys.That would make the glossy gold/matte black contrast make sense actually. That would also explain why the gradient is more of a sudden transition between a 50/50 gold and black helmet. The only problem is that it looks horrible from the side and from the back just because the rest of the uniform is scarcely gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panthers_2012 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I don't know what to say about these uniforms.They are certainly unique. I'm not a big fan of them, the black looks good, but I'm really disappointed on the teal alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Unfortunately it looks like most Jag fans on their forum like the helmet. So much for a mutiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuordr Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 These uniforms are garbage because the helmet ruins the whole set. I like the jerseys and pants, but the helmet is the worst ever in the NFL, the second worst behind Oregons chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESTONES6 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I cant see one redeeming quality in these uniforms. In all honesty, I think the helmet is the least offensive part of the uniforms.I don't even think the logo is an upgrade. Its a lateral move at best.The numbers are atrocious. I mean, they are bad. Really bad.The truncated pant stripe is one of the worst ideas Nike has come up with - and that's saying something.Again, they took the cookie cutter template for the shoulder sleeve and put it on an NFL team.I'm guessing those shinny patches on top of the shoulders that look like tiger stripes are either Fly Wire or some other BS marketing material Nike has come up with. That design works for the Mizzou TIGERS but not the Jacksonville JAGUARS.The shield patch on the front looks stupid. No other way to put it. It doesnt belong on the uniform.
