mike42 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Does anyone know if any teams are changing uniforms next year? Galvatron, doubtful. Snyder/Allen are too conservative with uniforms as they won't let go of the past and do something new. They won't even update the stripes on the mustard pants to match the uniform.

CrypticVillain Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 because it's plain, it's ordinary, it's a boring as a white dress suit, the few stripes aren't enough to liven it up.  I want color, as much color as possible  Get me a yellow jersey somehow or put red on the white jerseys shoulders like the cards do You say ordinary and boring, I say classy and clean. Plus the dirt and grass stains were more visable.  Look at these jerseys man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKmBZweZaUI  Ordinary and boring? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) I like my gulden mustard color pants.....plus I like the numbers without the outline in gold. Â I want this: Â Edited January 25, 2014 by HogNose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Hog Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I like the above pic, and I agree about the numbers with no gold trim. Â The white looks crisper, and pops more. Â I also like the thinner white stripes on the helmet. Â I'd prefer both the burgundy and gold be a little darker though. Â I'd bring the 70's Allen era uniforms mixed with the 60's look. Â Maybe keep the current helmet, but have the jerseys and pants more like the picture below. Â I particularly like the single burgundy stripe on the gold pants of this look: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superozman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Its funny, this thread never dies!  I would like the Skins to do something similar to the Panthers. They have the lilst of uni's being worn to each home game up online and at the stadium. They usually do 2 blue/3 black/2white i think. its cool to have, know what games what color is being worn. For nerds like me that match the jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Uniforms should be burgundy jersey and gold pants and gold jersey and burgundy pants. Single stripe down the pant leg of the opposite color, same helmet, socks match the jersey color for that game single stripe around the top of the sock that matches the pant color, and single stripe of color on jersey sleeves of opposite color.  No white, no black, purely burgundy and gold.

Should be a crime for any NFL franchise. - Burgundy on Burgundy looks like the team went for the heavily used tampon costume for Halloween. Not a good look.

Â The issue with the one-helmet rule is that your helmet has to be the same base color, so that it can be repainted without switching out helmets. Â As long as your concept helmet keeps the same base burgundy color in the background they can easily repaint it. Â The issue that the Buccaneers had last season was that the throwback helmets were white, whereas their current helmets are gold. Apparently, they can't just repaint the normal helmets and would have to use different ones for the throwback weekend. Â That's why Goodell squashed the idea.

pjfootballer Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Goodell is a hypocrite. Every QB has a spare helmet on the sidelines in case the headset goes out. So in essence, 2 different helmets will be used. So what is the difference in using two different helmets in one game or for different games? A player will wear the same exact "type" of helmet because it's comfortable. Edited February 17, 2014 by pjfootballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The 2 helmet thing is dumb. Look at Wes Welker. He had a concussion and switched helmets. I remember listening to Cooley talk about this during the season and basically say the players switch helmets during the season all the time. Especially during games if something goes wrong with their current helmet. Â Why the NFL is so against throwbacks I have no idea. Every other league has embrassed it except the NFL. MLB, NBA and the NHL do a good job marketing their throwback gear and allowing teams to wear it. Why the money hungry NFL doesn't, I have no idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The NFL and their rules on Uni's are a mess. All it does is take away extra money the league would be sharing. Some teams would stick with their traditional Uni's and others would go all Oregon/Maryland.  Isn't Tampa showing off new Uni's tomorrow? Or a new Helmet with a chrome facemask?  Well done StephenB. I'd like to see the entire Skins Uni scheme trend darker to true burgundy and true gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I like that the NFL doesn't let their teams go "Oregon" with too many uniform choices, but one set of throwbacks a year would be great. I mean who doesn't like to see the Bucs come out in those classic creamcycle orange unis? They are classic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boston Red Sox have one of the most well known logos in all of sports. They have different uniforms and hats, yet you know its the Red Sox playing. The Celtics and Lakers are 2 of the most prestigious NBA teams, yet they have alternate/throwback unis.  I'm not saying teams need to be like college teams and have a different uni/helmet combo for every game, but I don't see the harm in wearing throwbacks/alternates every once in awhile. I think right now, teams are only allowed to wear throwbacks/alternate uniforms twice a year. Why? You would think letting teams wear throwbacks/alternates would lead to more merchandise sales. Look at when LeBron was on the Cavs. They had a ton of throwback jerseys and people were buying those things up like crazy. What's so bad about letting the Bucs wear their Bucco Bruce jerseys? The Skins wearing the R helmets? The Patriots wearing there throwbacks? The Chargers wearing more powder blue? None of that has any effect on the play on the field.

DaGoonie55 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I see why you would want brand identity, but you can look at the scoreboard in one of the corners of the screen to figure that out. Also, I would be shocked if the NFL didn't tout it all over the place if someone was wearing a new uniform on a specific date.  I'd love to see some throwbacks, and I would really like a darker uniform - burgundy not red. Good point @...pants.

@DCGoldPants Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Looks like Tampa isn't going back to the Creamsicle Un's (They should...its a good time)   Leaked new helmet with chrome facemask  I get safety with the helmets. But that means the team should have another helmet for their throwbacks ready and acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
