Red Wine Pirate Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think orange jerseys with navy pants is terrible no matter what set it's in. It's not the look of a professional team. It's the look of a high school team which could only afford one set of pants, so they went with navy because they're easier to keep clean.I'm surprised the Broncos didn't end up making an orange set of pants to pair with the white jerseys, as was suggested/rumored a few years bTVack. I think they would have looked really nice with the road jersey, and done a lot to liven up a bland look that features barely any of what is now their primary color. However, I'm glad they didn't get orange pants, because that would have just lead to orange monochrome nonsense.You're saying that if a team wants to wear orange over navy they look like "a high school team that can only afford one set of pants"? That's extraordinarily stupid Yes. I'm saying it looks bad as a football uniform. Each sport has its historic aesthetics, whether you care to admit it or not. Baseball teams don't wear light lids (or white!) with dark jerseys, but football teams do. Basketball teams wear matching tops and bottoms, but it is awful when football teams do it. There's 60+ years or modern football aesthetic that tell us what a football uniform can be. So no, that might look totally cool for rollerball or even as a hockey uniform, but it doesn't work for football.The Titans, Ravens, and Bengals have all worn their lighter colored jersey over darker pants and it has looked fine as a NFL team. I'm not saying I personally liked those combinations, but they don't look amateurish either. I'm just not seeing the issue with orange over navy.

That's extraordinarily stupid I like the helmets, I think the font and logos are very good......I'd be pleased as punch if the Broncos would just take the 1997 striping off the jerseys and pants.

The NFC East would have some excellent visual match-ups. Especially if Dallas would ever decide on one blue and one silver for their identity.

dennisbergan Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Another Eagles rumor of Kelly Green...http://www.phlsports...n-ones-by-2016/Lets just say that report has some serious holes in it. I am sure Manny the Sporting Goods man, is right on the money.The Eagles are gonna go to the trouble of adding black pants to their set, only to eliminate the black jerseys next year. And they aren't going to wear the midnight green jerseys at all this year (they'll be worn for the first time against Carolina in a few weeks). And a Kelly green alt will be added for 2015 (which will just go swimmingly with a midnight green helmet).The Eagles may one day go back to Kelly green. But this report is complete garbage.

It is not as nice as the Orange-Navy-Orange, but it is definitely a 9/10.I think those look fantastic. That being said I think that combo for the broncos would look dumb.

BBTV Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 If you read what I posted earlier, the Eagles are NOT switching to kelly green, and are NOT even going to have a kelly green throwback next year or even the following year.None of these "rumors" are even legitimate sources, and some are just flat out ridiculous.

phutmasterflex Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 On Fox when the broadcast went to start the 2nd half of the London game (during a video package with Oasis' song playing) they featured two logos of the teams that resemble soccer team crests.

BigEd76 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 All teams have crests. They're just rarely used (Yes I know these are old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I don't think those were the ones I saw, but it was just a quick glance on the TV so I am not sureEDIT: They just showed it again. I actually liked them a lot. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Found itAwesome screen grab, and great job by Fox...but it reminds of the fan made crests that have been mentioned on these boards over the past couple years. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
