I think the Browns have a team rule...they have to either change the head coach or their uniforms every year!

I don't get these uniform changes...what's the point? I hope the Niners don't go down that road...don't think they will. I firmly believe in the adage, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'm not talking about wholesale uniform change or redesign. I'm just speaking of adding some uniform variety like a lot of teams are doing. I really don't get the resistance to that.

Bengals should've returned to the Corey Dillon/Jeff Blake era uniforms.

However it's a good thing they ditched that insanely outdated early/mid 2000s template with the weird shoulder yolk/panels/striping/piping. (Think 2000s-2010s Falcons, Bills, Seahawks, cardinals, Vikings)

This leaves just the Cardinals to abandon the weird template.. rumor has it that Kyler Murray is spearheading a potential uniform change.

It generates revenue. Gotta go buy the new jersey of your favorite player if you want to stay current.

1) team gets tired of its look
2) team asks Nike to redesign unis
3) team adopts some crazy Nike uni design
4) fans and media mock Nike redesign
5) team stuck with Nike redesign for at least 5 yrs
6) team tells Nike: we goofed, please redesign!
7) Nike reverts uniforms to classic look

Examples (steps 1-7): Buccaneers, Browns
Currently at steps 4-5: Rams, Falcons, Jets
DGAF: Seahawks

You'll probably see more changes as teams recover loss revenue from COVID.

Removing the white panel and making the sleeves more orange was an immensely positive change. But being a fan of metallic helmets, they should have done metallic orange under the stripes.

Not this uniform, but something like this helmet (bottom left):

Probably too much though. I do love what they've done with the jerseys though.

This is absolutely spot on.

The bengals should've returned to the Corey Dillon/Jeff Blake era uniforms.

From the mid 90s onwards, I can't think of one single team who changed uniforms and made an improvement.
