The Ravens, Jags, Titans, Bills and Panthers really need to rethink what makes a uniform look good (keep it simple, bright and clean).

Does anyone think that the current Bills uniforms are better than the old style?

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

no way that giants helmet is awesome!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:56 (twenty years ago)

Here was the original design of that Giants helmet:

I kind of do think the Bills are better now. They could tone it down a bit, but yeah I think it's a little better than that stiff looking buffalo they used to have.

the Ravens is the absolute worst. what the hell *is* that?

I forgot the Bears...nice unis....

purple and yellow vikes unis are ugly as all hell, dude.

puple and GOLD, dude! plus, they are awesome uniforms...esp. the helmets...the hornz rule.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 11 November 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

I thought the Texans did an okay job of the uniforms....they aren't as hideous as most expansion teams's...

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 11 November 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

Vikings are my most hated team so of course I think their unis suck ... but props to the entire NFC Norris for keeping it old school.

that's true, didn't think of that....all the teams in our division have pretty nice, old-school designs...hmm...what division has the best overall uniforms?

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 11 November 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

NFC North has the best overall. If the Chargers ever went back to their electric blue unis their division would be right there.

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Friday, 11 November 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

NFC Norris

Let this be a one-post digression to bitch about how damn sad it is that the NHL abandoned their distinct division names for boring old geographical labels.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 11 November 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

I always liked the '49ers unis for some reason. The Bears are the tops, obviously! The Chargers, Giants, Bills, and Eagles too. And I've always liked the Bengals (if only for the helmets!)

― gear (gear), Friday, 11 November 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

The Bills uniforms were best in the late 80s/early 90s. They are not so good, now.

Raidahs! Bengals - helmets seconded, they rool. I hate the Buc's unis: whoever suggested pewter spandex needs to be shot. I'm a big fan of the Falcons uniforms too.

While I prefer the old unis, I actually have a fondness for the Chargers dark blue home uniforms. The road unis are crap, though.

Via Uniwatch:

The Vikings are expected to unveil their new unis during the week of April 24, to coincide with the NFL draft. The helmet will still feature horns, the purple pants are definitely coming back, and one newspaper report says the overall look "resembles a cross between the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers."

god i can't even tell the difference. still sucks, obv.

as a rule i like anything with navy blue or fire engine red. gold's always a winner too (rams 2000 > rams 1999). except the saints unis, which sort of have a lot of the elements of something awesome, but in reality are kind of drab and depressing.

Uniwatch weighs in:

Purple Reign
By the time you read this, the Vikings should be getting ready to unveil their long-awaited (read: long-feared) new uniforms, an event that has actually been promoted on billboards in Minnesota. Uni Watch hasn't been privy to anything official, but has it on fairly good authority that the home jerseys will look like this and the road jerseys will look like this. You can get a better sense of the colored side panels from this schematic (but don't be fooled by the washed-out color tones -- it's just a bad scan). And here's a comparison of old vs. new (again, ignore the color distinction -- Uni Watch's understanding is that the team's colors are remaining exactly the same).

Initial reaction: Could've been worse, especially given previous reports about the new design borrowing from the Broncos' look. Still, almost every change here is for the worse. For starters, side panels are always a bad idea. And having the panels extend upward to form Viking horns probably led to lots of high-fives at the pitch meeting, but maybe it should've occurred to someone that Vikings wore horns, y'know, on their helmets, not on their shoulders. And what's the deal with that two-tone collar?

The masterstroke, though, is moving the Norseman logo from the sleeves to just above the rear nameplate, which presumably marks the first time in NFL history that a team has stolen an idea from the Cardinals. And that's not all they're stealing.This photo, being used to promote the uni unveiling ceremony, suggests that the team's new pants striping will owe a significant aesthetic debt to the Cardinals' stripes. If this turns out to be true -- keep in mind that Uni Watch is just piecing together snippets of unofficial information here -- the Vikes will earn the distinction of having cherrypicked the two worst design elements from the league's sorriest franchise. Brilliant!

Full coverage to follow in Uni Watch's next column.
