Only allowed to change after 5 years and they righted a wrong with this new set. The last ones were abysmal.

 

Before the previous change 5 years ago they had a change in like 1994.

Hyperbole doesnt fly with you. Understood moving forward.

I like the Jags new unis and helmet a lot. 

 

But I miss the Miami logo that had the Dolphin with a helmet on.

 

 

 

 

Oh relax, Francis. He said in the last 22 years. And I'd have to agree, the Jags have done more winning in that span than the Bills. 

Yes, sir. Sorry,  sir.

Some time not that long ago, sports logo design morphed into what would be better reserved for corporate logo design.

 

This Fish logo is a perfect example.  It looks like the logo you'd see on a cardboard box in the frozen seafood section at Wegmans.

 

They should go back to the old dolphin wearing a football helmet, which was actually pretty cool.  Color scheme still sucks though, even if it is appropriate for Miami.

New Phins looks good, though again Nike, what's up with the numbers?  How do they have both rounded features and angled features?  Look at Wake - the 9 has angles, the 1 doesn't...

 

The Jags get an A+ for just going with a solid color on their helmet - those old ones were AWFUL.

If you need help writing material let me know. 

Look up the definition of hyperbole. I dont need help writing material as much as you do understanding what exaggeration is.

Why do teams have to fiddle with this stuff?  Can't leave well enough alone...

Money....more stuff to sell. Wait for the Sabres to change to royal blue from Winter Classic uniforms

I'm with Jay on this.

Dolphins = Small change, BIG difference. Getting rid of excessive piping and getting closer to traditional colors is always an improvement in my book. They also have their throwback set with the darker teal and helmet-wearing Phin. 

As a uni traditionalist, I ordered an Elite version Bills throwback late last year with my last name on the nameplate. I love the simple blue numbers with red piping. The extra black piping of the regular unis just grates my eyes. It reeks of late '90s. Combine that with the inconsistent striping on the collar. Bear in mind that these are still way better than the Donahoe-era yolks, by FAR, but one can only hope that the trend of removing unnecessary black/dark outlines eventually hits Buffalo.
 

As for the Jags new set, our long national nightmare of the split-personality helmet is finally over. The cloth is extremely bland. Numbers have no contrast, pants have nothing but a small hip logo. This is minimalism that is to the opposite extreme of the previous set. This looks like a training camp set. :thumbdown:

I know the definition.

 

You think your post was more clever than it was. It wasn’t.

 

Sorry I heckled you for your terrible act.

Phins and Broncos are the two teams that would benefit most from going back to their original logo imo. 

 

I thought I was the only one who missed the old Broncos logo. Yeah both should go back. 

 

Nostalgia is a powerful thing when I even miss these - :lol:

The Dolphins "new" uniforms look good, but it's not that drastic of a change. They really need to go back to the original dolphin logo, or even the cartoon type logo.

 

The Jaguars new uniforms are nothing special, but their new helmet looks great.

Both uniforms make me nauseous.

 

There's just something about Florida and $h!tty uniforms that seem to go hand in hand. Tampa Bay should go back to the creamsicle orange unis.

Don't see a difference in the ugly Dolphins uni. And, what the heck does "Historically Modern" mean?

 

That's what I was thinking... historically modern? Maybe in that they'll be remembered for how modern they were when they came out? Either way, whoever came up with that should be shamed.

Well to be fair, since 1996 (the Jags first year) they have been to the playoffs seven times including three AFC Championship games. We have only been to the playoffs four times in that same span and lost in the Wild Card game each time. Do you want me to include Division Championships? Their tradition is a little better than ours in the last 22 years.

 

Ouch, don't drop all that knowledge on us.

 

I did find it an odd comment, like a browns fan calling the Bengals or some other franchise one with no history and being losers.

 

We can't call other teams out on tradition or losing.

I dunno, the Titans went to black helmets, I think instead of doing the same, the Jags should have gone full gold.  Still, credit for killing the half-and-half helmets.  I think gold helmets would be more unique then black, and help establish a franchise identity.  As for the 'phins, if you're going to change a uniform, make a significant change, colors, helmet logos or such, rather then just a couple subtle little tweaks.  Ah well.

It’s just you.

 

Their previous set had basically no orange and the teal was lighter.

 

These are a significant upgrade.

 

 

Orange is a terrible color. Their old uniforms are better because they had less orange.

 

I was hoping the Jags would keep their hideous helmets. I loved poking fun at them.

TB should at least downsize that flag logo on helmet you can see from space.

Anyone remember? 2011 NFL per Bills FO said Bills needed to downsize there new logo 15% to be able to fit all the NFL mandated, flag, warnings, and stickers, on it. Then 2014 Bucs rolled out that flag on steroids that made "Window World" and "Rex Ryan's Truck" vehicle wraps look like small bumper stickers in comparison.

Agree 100% on the Bucs' helmet logo. I've always thought that it was unnecessary, annoying, and distracting...like wood paneling on an old station wagon.

Fins logo still sucks.

 

They should change their name to the Sharks and get some manly colors ;) 

BTW I have never seen a Teal Jaguar unless it was a British car ;)
