If you like simple, I've got a Bengals Jersey for you:




Edit: Sure, the pants suck, but hey. Also I would nix the tiger on the sleeve.

The Bengals have undeniably the best uniforms in the NFL. Where else can you find an awesome use of Tiger stripes in a uniform? Never change Cincy Bengals without your ludicrous stripes the NFL would be a less dapper place.

Love the orange, love the tiger on the sleves, honestly make those unis look more like tigers.

This is a bad opinion. I like the all red :colbert:

Solid colors for uniforms are great. I hate how white has to be on every jersey, just gimme glorious glorious COLOR. All Red for the Cards is great, I don't really get the all black, but that is a thing these days.

The nfl believes it is safer for a player to use one style of helmet for the entire season. apparently some players use helmets that are no longer made or in limited supply, so for throwbacks they have to use a different style of helmet. Because of how "unsafe" this is, the league instead outlawed using multiple helmet types. Why they didn't mandate that players instead use the latest and safest technology, I have no loving clue.


Fyi, this is a phone post from memory, accuracy not guaranteed.

Basically the NFL does not give a poo poo about the science behind concussions because it damns their sport. So they ignore it and let it be "personal choice" that guys don't wear the latest and the greatest. I'd say its conspiratorial, but if you're stupid enough to wear a 30 year old helmet that does basically nothing maybe that is on you. That debate can definitely split both ways, but it's a tenuous excuse at the bare minimum to say it's unsafe to wear different helmets throughout the season.

The real key is proper fitting, provided they have a good equipment manager this shouldn't be an issue. If college equipment managers can do it, the NFL could too.

These are the only jerseys VT should ever wear:



Those have been our jerseys for almost 6 years now. Time for a refresh, that said the helmet that got cut out of that photo is the loving best helmet we've worn besides our regular helmet in forever.

My biggest issue with those is that unlike say LSU/Ole Miss/UCLA who have history with it, we don't I find them forgettable especially with the rotating cast of pants and helmets we've had the past few years. I want our uniforms to have a bit more brand identity to them.

Wait we get a grey alternate helmet but not an inverse color orange one? I mean the rest is p unoffensive classic TN vibes, but really? That's the alternate helmet? Makes me sad.

I missed this before, but yes that makes it marginally better. But still...

e: I don't mind the concept of the grey unis for the Vols, and these are better than the Adidas ones, it just irks me that they want to play with alternate helmets of a color other than orange first.

Been really disappointed that VT has been wearing those Military Appreciation helmets for now coming up on 4 of our 7 games. I like them, but we've only worn our standard maroons once this season, and even the orange metallic helmets felt more us than the white topped Navy style ones.

They gave us a cool thing and now I feel like we're way over using it.

Gotta have some reason to watch Thursday night football because it certainly isn't for the quality of play.

Those alts do sound/look cool in the teasers at least. And I love color on color, we don't watch black and white TV anymore there is really no reason to not play every game color on color provided they aren't overly similar.

I like that, but I gotta ask why stop at white when they could have red masks? Or do Giants fans really wish the red would disappear from their color palette?

It would and I don't really understand the NFLs complete desire to replace white with silver on a lot of what seems like they should be red/white/blue teams (NYG, Pats in particular I guess).

Really hope that VT using just about every combination of our existing kit is to try and show diversity to recruits before we get something new next year. Please something new next year.

That said I really like how they've done the uniform reveals this year, and switching face masks is an easy way to get some extra out of our current stable of helmets.

I don't see them getting a full redesign any time soon because that is Nike's newest jersey kit.

They finally updated the design to the new template, but I assure you outside of the color of trim its a super generic uniform that is always behind the curve.

https://twitter.com/HokiesFB/status/920785204297502720

They made us something new, but again is basically just a font change on a design they already had. Annoyingly it looks like the UVA solid orange just with our fonts on it.

Although for years we were templates behind, I'm talking about an actual design overhaul not the underlying uniform technology.
