Uniform watch

I HATE the trend of larger and larger team/city names on the jerseys. Looks tacky. This is the NFL not the NBA.

Their throwback stands out as looking miles better than this new set.

Almost looks like a high school JV team jersey

AN FAQ FOR THE NFL'S "One Helmet/Shell Rule"

Those uni's are hideous.

Some details have leaked about the direction the Browns are going with their uniforms. Looks like they're going back to their classic look (thank freaking god).

Also, the Colts announced a new logo and made some tweaks to their uniforms, nothing major.

As for the Falcons, those things are freaking awful and honestly, they shouldn't have bothered to change them. I guarantee you we'll see them ditch those disasters in 5 years and go back to a traditional set.

Maybe someday, we'll get them in a red helmet again.

Don't mind ATLs unis the black and red and black ones are pretty cool. White with red pants is awful.

Objectively speaking I think the 49ers have a top 3 jersey in the NFL and it's because they haven't done any stupid crap like this.

What's with the teams in the south all ruining their jerseys? The Bucs, Dolphins, and Falcons now? Just horrific.

It's not just the South, look at what the Browns did to theirs back in 2015 (thankfully, they're wising up and fixing it).

To many teams go for flash as opposed to functionality. The teams with the best uniforms, in my opinion, are the ones that have updated their classic looks for newer templates, but keep the same overall design.

Take ours for example, if you look at it in the 80s, 90s, 00s, and today, you can see the evolution of the uniform. It's still the same overall design, but you can see the updates. We did the exact same thing with the 96-08 uniforms that Tampa Bay, Miami and Atlanta (the throwback uniform is the only one that looks good) have done.

1980s


1990s


2000s


2020


You can see the design changes that have gone on with the uniform (logo, change in gold, sleeve stripes, thinner pant stripe, etc), but the overall design is the same. This is what teams like Dallas, Green Bay, Chicago, Indianapolis, Kansas City, and Washington have done. Just updated their classic design and kept it modern. There's a reason why a lot of those teams are considered to have the best uniforms and disasters like what Cleveland and Tampa Bay rolled out 5 years ago are hated.

Me personally, I prefer the uniforms of the teams above because I like designs that are simple and functional. Traditional designs just appeal to me better. That's one of biggest reasons why I hated the 96-08 uniforms and was glad to see us go more traditional back in 2009.

That's one reason why I love the minor changes the Colts made to theirs, and despise what Atlanta did. It's why I'm looking forward to seeing what the Browns unveil tomorrow (if the leaks I posted above hold true, which all indications are that they're going back to a more traditional design).

Same here!!! Quentin font, lose the "49ers" on the neck area of the jersey (even if we switch back permanently to Quentin font) and add a 3rd stripe.

I'd be all over a ton of merchandise. Not just jerseys necessarily, but t shirts, hoodies, crew necks, etc.
