the 49ers have literally the best uniform in the NFL (I'm a homer but whatever) and they'd better not gently caress with it like they did in the 90s

I really hope they keep the Red/White (gold pants) jerseys that they've been using the last few years. The '96-'08 red facemasks and the black accent on helemt stripe were just so 'bleh'. Get that black our of here, outside of the current logo accent, at least.

Red, white, gold. Done.

As a Rams guy I'm okay with this. Nothing washes away the stench of a decade of mediocrity like going back to what you were wearing when you won the Superbowl.

RE: The 49er jerseys, I'm definitely glad the useless black accents are gone, but I LIKED the red facemask :colbert:

I kind of wish the Titans would go back to the Oiler color scheme. Preferably, the one in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7xksmk0ghc&feature=related More teams in the NFL need to use Light Blue as a primary color.

They radically changed their colors after 10 or so years. So, Titans, do you hear that? loving change your stupid flaming T, and your lovely colors.

Yeah, the Titans have hands-down the worst logo in the NFL (with the Texans a distant second.) It's just so complicated and busy, with the sword-looking letter T, the stars, the circle around all that, and the flames coming off the circle. It's a crime that neither Tennessee nor Houston is using the old Oilers logo. The Titans' throwback Oiler uniforms in '09 were some of the best uniforms I've seen in a long time. I mean, look at these things:

Those rule, why would you not just wear those all the time?

Preds just have one of the best logo/color palettes out there. I love them having a piano key on the inside of the neck of the jersey. A better question is why hockey in general has much better color/logo action going on. Hockey jerseys and throwbacks own much more than the NFL counterparts. This coming from a long time NFL fan and newly adopted NHL fan.

The Seahawks shoes are different than their current colours, the green isn't a neon, it's darker and the blue is more blue. The gloves are in their normal colours so who the gently caress knows.

Bring back the silver uniforms.

Their early uniforms reminded me of the unpleasantness of opening a diaper. Thank God they changed it.

Also, I used to hate the red/black Falcons uniforms, but I guess years of the boring black/black stuff made me appreciate it. They look really sharp now.

The Titans only have/had them as AFL throwbacks, and the Texans can't do anything related to the Oilers because the Great Satan wouldn't let Houson keep the rights to the name and team history when they left.

Edit: I'd like to see the Texans try out their red alternate jersey with the normal blue pants. I think it would look better with the helmet than the ketchup bottle all-red.

Have to agree. My first reaction to seeing it was "It looks like someone took the old logo and waffled it in the right eye with a tire iron".
It's not awful, I guess, it certainly could be worse, but I'll have to see what they do with the jersey & how it looks on whatever they decide to do with the helmet before passing final judgment. Right now it's a tentative "OK" with a definitive "goddamnit every piece of Panther merchandise I own is now obsolete".

I see the new Panther raising its right eyebrow quizzically, and I cant un-see it.

This actually almost happened

http://chancemichaels.tripod.com/packers_index.html

quote:

There was a rumor Sunday the Packers would have a press conference concerning their uniforms colors during the week following the Eagle game. This, however, seemed certain: The Packers plan to change their uniforms next season, retaining the current dark green, but switching pants and helmets from the present yellow to metallic gold.

The Packers hope the changes will be approved by the NFL Properties by the beginning of next month so they can wear the new uniforms next season. Among other changes are the removal of stripes now on the helmet, jersey, and pants.

Packer President Bob Harlan told the Milwaukee Journal the gold was not the same as that worn by any other team and that it was selected by General Manager Ron Wolf and Coach Mike Holmgren. Harlan said the helmet would be switched from yellow to gold and have a large green "G" on each side and the jersey would have a smaller green "G" on each sleeve. The white numbers on the green home jerseys and the green numbers on the white road jerseys will also have a gold outline. The pants will be plain gold.

"Years and years ago, we wore a gold helmet and gold pants," Harlan said. "And I think that's what Ron wanted, a simpler uniform. They didn't want to look like New Orleans or the 49ers. They looked at different golds and picked out what they liked."

quote:

"I never liked the yellow color in the Packers scheme," Wolf said. "NFL books say it's 'green and gold' but anybody can see it's a Michigan kind of yellow, of maize, which didn't sit well with me.

"I put together a proposal to change Green Bay uniforms, replacing the yellow with a gold much like we see on Rams uniforms and helmets. There were some other changes but I wasn't messing with the "G' on Packers helmets.

"Everything was approved by the seven-member executive committee that operates the Packers. All I had to do was give the go-ahead.

"I repeatedly looked over drawings of the new Packers uniform, thinking I would soon be pulling the trigger on changes. But, after a little more thought, decided it just didn't fly. We needed to fix what was truly broken. What we really had to have was better people on the field."

thank goodness

I think that looks quite a bit better actually. I know Packer fans would poo poo a brick because "tradition", but that is really not a bad combo. My only argument against it would be that there are too many other teams using gold right now.

It's not terrible but the logos on the shoulders annoy the poo poo out of me. Logos should be limited to the helmet :colbert:

I'm always of the opinion that modern uniforms are rarely ever as good as their more traditional counterparts. The old Oilers jerseys are so awesome it's a shame they aren't used on a constant basis.

I'm kind of torn on the old Seahawks getup - the Blue and Green are the exact same level of brightness and the silver doesn't really help. It has its problems (that insanely specific shade of blue) but the thing I like about the modern Seahawks uni is at least the blue and green contrast each other. Maybe if they went for something like this?

While they better not actually replace the regular on-field jerseys (they won't...ever), I'd like to see what they can come up with for fun alternate Raiders jerseys. We already have the best goddamn uniforms in the league and the most amazing throwbacks ever.

I have this jersey in real life go ahead and be jealous.

So yeah even taking into account how most of the "Lights Out" jerseys look like poo poo they couldn't even manage to gently caress up Oakland's.

Being that it seems hard to take the Raiders colors and make a terrible looking uniform, I'm interested to see what they can create.

That Seabass jersey is my dream one. Well if it had the proper number font :ssh:

That black on black one gets kind of hosed by white outlines to make the numbers more visible, just makes it look messy as a result.

I like the New England ones from a purely visual standpoint, I just think it's kind of weird to name your team the Patriots, steep them in Revolution mythology... and then give them red shirts.

I also think I'm the only person who likes the Seahawk mono-blue.

I like the two throwbacks the Eagles have worn in recent years, even if the 1933 ones look like a Crayola truck flipped over.

1933 (worn for one game in 2007:)

1960 (worn for the season opener in 2010:)

My roommate last year wanted to get one of those jerseys with QB EAGLES on the back, which I thought was a great idea and I'm kind of bummed he never went through with it.

I hate that the Chargers don't actually wear throw backs just powder blue alternatives. I Want the numbers on the helmet and the old fonts. Also the Seau era jerseys I always liked, they just seemed more down to business lightning bolt. Not 3 tone and huge white block around the shoulder bolts.
