Sure, but they still have "fancy" stripes and colors. I'm talking as generic as possible. What is the most boring font to use, Times New Roman? Use that or something similar for the names/numbers.

Gonna go with this opinion as well. You want different, it practically doesn't GET any more different.

Those numbers remind me of old-time scoreboards.

I graduated with an art degree, remade all the NFL logos to have Manning's face, re-colored all the goddamn uniforms, do logos for companies as freelance side projects, and guess what: Those Steeler Uniforms loving Suck.

There's being different, and being absurd. This design would work if the rest of the NFL had designs similar to this, but for right now it's waaaaaaaay too out of place and looks like a bumblebee. It's an eyesore of a design, the stripes clash with the vertical nature of the numbers. The pants color is out of place, a weird gross yellow/pale that doesn't match anything else on the uniform (Might be better straight white to match the under numbers white).

I love the socks however, it works on the socks.

There's tiers to how uniforms work here, I think: There's the sometimes boring but traditional and typically well-designed uniforms like the Packers etc, there's the "modern" uniforms that can be hit or miss but usually miss like the Cardinals, Vikings, and Falcons, we're going to start seeing, I assume, more weird Nike poo poo like the Seahawks have in coming seasons so the jury is out there, and we have the goofy throwback uniforms that usually are kind of boring (Jets, Packers).

These Steelers uniforms are so completely goddamn ridiculous that they transcend the ugly tier and loop right back around to amazing.

edit: If I weren't a lazy shitheel I would probably make a thread with for-serious redesigns and ~design opinions~ of the entire NFL but alas I don't see that changing any time soon :v:

I think that's the problem. They are "amazing", but for the wrong reasons. Just because it's so different doesn't mean it works. They abandoned the design in the first place for a reason, we just never got to see it in action so it's "new and exciting" for some people.

The Steelers have a classic uniform, and I think might be the only team in the NFL with Yellow as a secondary/Primary color, which makes them pretty unique. They found a good color plate and have stuck with it, like the Browns, or Packers, or any team with a classic look. This is interesting, but doesn't fit the Steelers at all nor does it fit the NFL, which is why most of us hate it. Now if this was a soccer jersey? Or a Rugby jersey? It would work a lot better.

Sep 23, 2009

Well yeah. I'll stop being weird about it but I do love them because they're so ridiculous and don't work as NFL uniforms at all, if they were to adopt them full-time or something that would be really dumb.

Now what they really need to do is get rid of those dumb italic numbers on the normal jerseys. Bring back the blocks, yo.

Not with that company anymore but it was amusing they were super crazy about their illustrator files being perfect (rightfully so) because "When we ship these overseas the people making the garments don't know anything about the teams and will make whatever the file tells them to."

To be fair, these throwbacks are essentially identical to their 1934 jerseys.
