canzman 115 Posted March 25, 2015 @DonteWhitner: Best jerseys in the league! Hands down! 9 different color combos!@DonteWhitner: All I can say is that I saw the New Jersey and cleveland you will be proud! 9? That seems to confirm we'll see an orange helmet, with orange/brown/white options for both jerseys and pants. (Unless a separate neutral color is thrown in the mix.)I'm willing to bet on gray being a pant color option. I am too. Now the real question is: which gets kicked to the curb in its stead, brown or orange?My guess is brown. I still feel that they are de-emphasizing brown.My guess is Brown, White and Orange for both Jersey and Pant. That is 9 possible combos which Whinter stated. If Gray was being added to the actual uniform why remove it from the helmet and also if you have seen the logo slick released with the "new logo" it only lists 3 colors for the team and Gray isn't one of them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCarthy 10,656 Posted March 25, 2015 As long as there's no funny business with the stripes or facemasks (chrome, stripes continuing onto the facemask), I'm okay with that finish. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guest23 874 Posted March 25, 2015 it'll be a matte orange (possibly with a frost finish like the iconic uw white helmet) with brown chrome helmet stripes and brown chrome masks...the masks will also have ghost stripes. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Candy?that might be Riddell's orange version of their "lightning" paint.. i've mentioned it before in another topic, but their "lightning" paints are the closest they can come to "chrome" finishes using only paint.. much more cost-effective for teams looking for something more chrome-like as it only costs about $20/helmet to have them repainted, but it costs about $500/helmet to have the chrome finishes applied.. clearly, it's not super close to chrome, but it's a better finish option than gloss, satin, metallic, or matte if you're looking for the same "POP" that you'd get from chrome... i still think they'd look sharp if they went with something similar to Illinois' satin orange lids, but that's just my two cents.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shaydre1019 723 Posted March 25, 2015 Honestly Oregons current set is pretty tame. Oregon of the NFL could just mean a lot of combos. Is it safe to assume the new uniforms will be on the pro bowl template we just saw? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

habsfan1 2,931 Posted March 25, 2015 Here's some different combos:There is a lack on white used in the stripes and for that reason, I go not like this look. I agree. There should be one white stripe to break up the duotone effect that isn't working here. Or two if you reverse the orange/white. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmic 5,615 Posted March 25, 2015 After seeing the satin helmet from Oregon and the Vikings. THAT is my favorite style helmet.SatinMatteGlossMetallic/SparkleChrome The Vikings helmet was released as matte during the official unveiling. Not satin."A modern representation of Nordic culture combined with the Vikings long-standing football tradition, the new design provides a modern twist on the classic Vikings uniforms. Features include a matte purple helmet with a black facemask, a refreshed, brighter gold accent, unique new font and numbers featuring curves that reflect the bow of a Vikings ship, and single gold and white stripes on the shoulders and pants reminiscent of early Vikings uniforms."And if Nike says the new orange represents the passion of Cleveland Browns fans, do you believe that, too? The Vikings' finish is clearly different than a regular matte helmet. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice_Cap 15,313 Posted March 25, 2015 Exactly. Nike-speak is like the Ministry of Truth. Half you can completely disregard and the other half you need to peel away the layers of bull to get to what they really mean. The big difference being thag the Thought Police don't send you to Room 101 for questioning Nike...yet 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schutt had a candy finish that gave off a chrome-ish effect way back in the late 90's as well. I think northwestern used it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
