Oh don't worry about it. I'll still take any critique you have but you can forget about if you want. But I sorta forgot about that whole experiment.


The blue ones grew on me a bit. I liked the darker color but it just looks so different from every other uniform it just feels off when I look at it. It's unique sure, but I think they could have made it a little more conforming and still given it a unique flavor. If the whole league looked like that it would be pretty nice though. The Gray however we completely disagree on. It looked like someone forgot to wash the white uniforms for a week. They just looked dirty. The white ones themselves felt unremarkable. Blue ones were the only ones with any personality.

Would you like the grey more if they were a darker shade? I think it would look cool, and can definitely understand if your problem is that they are too light.

I don't know. It might. I just don't think gray works with the neon green highlights and a similar value of the blue already on the uni. The current gray is probably the best balance between the two but it just looks like the uniforms are wet. It doesn't look badass when I look at it, it looks just like a dirty off-white. Like it wants to be white, or it wants to be dark, but just ends up looking wet. The concept art and lighting for it looked nice, but when I watched the actual game it looked awful.



2 rudimentary seconds in photoshop to darken it out:



granted that was 2 second in PS, but it doesn't really look better. The gray looks more intentional but it kind of nullifies the blue highlights by being the same shade. If they want to use gray they shouldn't use the exact same design as the white jerseys just with gray, they should actually build around the gray tones. I think that was my problem with it. It feels and looks like a lazy alternate. Also wet.

The NFL is really sending the wrong message here about dolphin concussion prevention, by taking the helmet off that dolphin. Roger Goodell could not care less about dolphin safety. First Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and now this.

OK amateur uniform designers: I've been told what the new #Dolphins unis look like. I'll give you the specs, let's see who can mock them up?

Jerseys: All white (or all aqua), with "Dolphins" on the chest below the collar (but not in cursive)

Helmet: All white, white facemask, new logo, thick aqua stripe from front to back with orange trim on both sides

Pants: White, thick aqua stripe down the sides, orange trim

And either "Miami" or "Dolphins" on the tailbone, I forget which one

I actually hate it

but the Giants are one of the teams who have had it for years and deserve it. I wish it had some stripes on the sleeves but one of the oldest teams in the league and a team called BIG BLUE should probably have blue jerseys. I hate the Texans color, make them wear the sweet red alternates. Also the Jag's home jersey is now officially black. The Broncos home jerseys are orange now as well.

vvvv The Powder Blues weren't bad either, anything is better than the dark blue they currently use.

Colts, Panthers, and Cowboys seem to where white more than their home and the Panthers one if more likely to be worn once maybe twice a year anyway. Texans only wear their home blue like 4 times a year anyway since they love to trot out the battle red. Broncos now wear the orange as their home jersey too.

The seahawks have what 4 variations of their jersey now as well? It's not quite that bad.

More than Half? It's more like around a third, really. It really wouldn't be so big a deal if less teams wore the same shade of blue. The Chargers and Rams really need to go back to their old shades of blue sooner than later.

The Patriots/Rams/Texans/Chargers/Broncos/Cowboys/Bears using the same terrible shade of super dark navy blue has got to change. It see,s like no one wears white anymore either.

The only more egregious uniform issue is that horrid shade of green the Eagles replaced their glorious kellys with.

I think the Seahawks have three, Blue, Gray, and White. If the NFL wasn't so staunch about regulations they'd have a new set every week

White is usually designated as the color for the away team, so everyone wears white (unless the home team elects to wear their light jerseys). Also I would not change a thing about the Bears uniform, it is probably the best in the NFL.

From the description I thought the Away jerseys on the left would have way too much aqua, but having the orange undershirt and the shoes really balance it out. The Home uniform looks pretty meh.

Also I'm really surprised they went with white facemasks. I thought pretty much nobody but KC did that anymore because of the glare issues, especially in a place like Miami.

Nike's gimmick is proprietary materials, they probably have some super-matte white for face-masks.

A lot of the warmer weather teams use the Whites as home jerseys, and again wear them on away trips. It always depends who the home team is.

Although Jacksonville switched to Black home jerseys. That seems dumb.

Eh, their blues don't look nice anyway so maybe if they wear black and incorporate some Jaguar print the way the Bengals have they could at least have a decent unique jersey. Really, there are only a few teams that need uniform upgrades and the Vikings and Jags were two of them
