NFL Changes 2014+

[WSU151]

Missed out on all the raiders talk but as raider fan, I do agree they need to fix the number scrunching up issue. It doesn't look professional at all.

The raiders aren't switching to anything or anything simply for the sake of not switching. There could be actual improvement and Mark still won't unless tent had too. I'm pretty sure if helmets weren't regulated, the raiders would still use the old styles. They are also the only team that doesn't allow anything to be sold where the logo is altered in anyway. Their nike gloves have 2 logos rather than the 1 logo split on 2 gloves. New era also doesn't make many of their designs for the raiders because it wouldn't meet the logo requirements.

Ultimately it's marks decision. Personally. I feel they should loosen up a bit. Maybe it will help with sales when sales are at an all time low. He needs all the money he can get to help get a stadium.

Welp...

The only teams whose color schemes really represented their areas well were the Dolphins and the Seahawks IMO. You could throw the RWB DC teams in there, too, I guess. Some looks have become very closely associated with cities, but I don't think most areas have a go-to color scheme.

Of course...because I would see Navy Blue and Neon Green EVERYWHERE in Seattle if I visited that city

This is a perfect example of regional sports stereotypes rearing its ugly head again...Its like EVERY team from Oklahoma or Texas MUST be named after some midwest cowboy themed nickname, every team from Florida MUST be clad in bright colors like teal or orange, and every team from the Northwest MUST be the Sounders or the Waves or anything ocean specific with blue and green in their color scheme. Can't we break free of this stuff already? At some point in time someone has to stand up and say: "Hey, Can't we be the Seattle Lions or the Oklahoma Gladiators or whatever?". I just think its starting to get redundant and lazy.

I've never been to Seattle, but it seems like it's always gloomy, so I definitely think navy and grey give off that vibe. There's also a lot of greenery, plus the green is a nice contrast. Their last color scheme also gave off a similar vibe.

To that original point, yes. You absolutely would see a TON of navy and neon green. In fact, it's the colors of the Cascadia flag.

Green for the trees, blue for the water and sky. Royal and emerald are a solid combination for the northwest.

Got a question and the motherboard doesn't have the answer (and don't want to start a new topic)

When did the Panthers stop wearing the blue socks with their home set?

This was their first ever NFL game.

This is from 1996, so maybe they only wore them for the first year

Thanks. Too bad, I actually like the blue socks look. But the current look is good too.

[JayMac]

Did they wear it in the 95 regular season? IIRC, the Carolina vs Jacksonville game was a preseason game...The HOF game, I think.

[BJ Sands]

According to this, the Panthers wore the blue socks all of 1995.

The new era hat logo is intact. It might be colored different but the logo is not cut or changed in anyway. Nike got away with cutting the logo on the first gen gloves. Look at the the 2.0 and the 3.0. Different than everyone else.

Check out the raiders state hat and the other teams. Similar thing happened during the initial draft hat too.

Wasn't there a hat a year or two ago with an alt logo of some kind for the Raiders? No shield or shield without a wordmark or something?

Edit:

Thanks. Now with this basis, I went on a Google search and yeah it was their first year they wore that and only that year.

Huh. So that's why the draft hats are always different for the Raiders. I honestly didn't know that. Well I'll be.

Check out the video in this link- you don't have to view it. In it's preview it shows the raiders in hand, and the cowboys and packers beside it.

And let's not mention the hat Matt Schaub is wearing, sold exclusively by the Raiders store.

Slight changes to the Miami endzones for the Dolphins. I'll try to find pics, but the letters look spread out a little more and may be italicized.

[BBTV]

Do the eagles not have green pants yet too?

[AgentColon]

Wasn't there a twitter vote for green or white pants to be worn?

[aawagner011]

Here is a shot of the Dolphins endzone designs. Looks like it is their "Miami" wordmark. You can tell because the letters are curved and rounded on the edge.

Don't know but if so that's really dumb.

[TVIXX]

There were a lot of niners fans at the cowboys game yesterday

The Chargers are replacing all of the traditional flags at Qualcomm with team-specific logo flags from throughout their history:

The old flags had all of the other NFL teams' helmets on them in addition to the traditional retired number and division championship flags, etc.
