McNair and Heap jerseys for $23

$21 for a pink Flacco jersey

It's going to take a lot for me to not at least consider buying these, wow

I was wondering the same thing. I'd definitely like to hear any recommendations.

I have ordered from TaraJersey in the past and was really happy with the Reebok Vikings Randy Moss jersey I got, but the lettering on the new Nike ones looks really goofy to me (maybe it's just the angle).

Typically, I'm most worried about the color being right. I've seen tons of fake Vikings jerseys looking blue in sunlight.

A friend of mine just ordered one from Aliexpress, but he can't confirm if the color is spot-on or not. (Doesn't have his authentic right now.)

Talking about flat brims in general or the draft ones?

I got one of the training camp ones on clearance a while back, the curvature on it felt excessive :v:. It keeps its shape pretty well so trying to bend it out a bit doesn't help.

These are the 39Thirty hats, the flat brims you're talking about, BlindSite, are the 59Fifty. japtor, the 39Thirty are stretch fit and keep the curve, but the 59Fifty start flat but are meant to be bent (look at how most baseball players have their brims, that's what it's supposed to be like). The training camp hats last year were also 39Thirty, the draft hats were all 59Fifty and the regular season stuff is both (plus the 9whatever, the snapbacks).

It's great if you want your hat to look like you spilled ketchup and mustard all over it.

I'm just glad '47 Brand exists for people like me who want a simple hat and don't want to spend years trying to break it in right. I don't miss the days or keeping a brim inside a pint glass to get it to hold a curve.

Yeah I know all that, just not sure if BlindSite was referring to all the 59s/flat brims in general (which ranges from fine to :stare:) or just the first draft cap ones, which were bleh.
I think you meant to link the sharktooth hat :v: (alternatively the big rear end wordmark ones)

So we've seen the new Dolphins uniforms.


My impression is that they're OK but they'd look better if they had more orange and featured the old logo. I've whipped up a quick mock of what I'd like to see on mspaint:

I actually kinda liked the new logo in motion. The new helmets are nice. If they had to change the logo they did a decent job, Ehud's bitterness aside. But I agree, more orange is necessary. And eliminate that tramp stamp, ugh.

After seeing it in motion I'm mostly sold on the new logo. But I agree that more orange would be great, and, as Toussaint tacitly pointed out, the front name is horrible and needs to go back to the old cursive font.

I'm genuinely curious - save making the whole drat thing orange, where would add orange to the teal jersey? Bump out the lining around the numbers? Maybe an orange color block under the arms like the Broncos?

Just orange trim. One of the older variations had an orange stripe on the sleeves and I think it looked good. But I think every team needs striped sleeves, striped sleeves are the best. Outside that, a bit more on the numbers would look nice too. Just enough to make it clear it's not just one color. Orange should be the least used color on the jersey, but it should still have a presence because it is the boldest color. On the Jersey is one thing, but they really messed up by taking it off the pants as much as they did. the orange stripe on the pants looked fantastic, and now it looks like crap.
