![]() Jaguars: 2 - It’s like they took the old color and turned down the saturation slider. This jersey doesn’t say “Eagles” the same way that the green jerseys do, but they have all the details right. because, obviously, football players are like obscure professional wrestlers from the early 90’s who had muscles drawn their clothing…Įagles: 6 - Again, same as last week. I guess it’s to add shape to the players…. The odd black+white stroke along the torso of the players is an odd framing device. Maybe I’ll update this after watching the game in HD on Sunday. If someone from the Jaguars PR department were reading this, he or she would recommend I mention the fact that there’s flip paint on the helmet, showing green in some light and black in other light, but looking through game pictures online, it always looks black (in fairness, the bright spot in the main picture above looks greenish). There’s something to be said for designing something so people who care see the “little things,” but, that’s taking the expression too literally. Jaguars: 1 - The concept of the logo works, but did you ever notice that the spots on the jaguar are actually kind of life-like, and not just plain dots? Did anyone ever notice? Nope. Definitely one of the best helmet designs in the league. I’d like to think I have a pretty keen eye for this stuff, but I even almost linked to a picture of a Ravens player wearing black over black until I saw that his helmet did not have a jaguar on it.Įither 2, 3, 6, or 7 points awarded for each category (safety, field goal, touchdown, touchdown+point after, of course)Įagles: 7 - Same as always. Of course, when a team doesn’t have an “identity of winning” (and the fanbase which grows around that winning…unless you’re the Tampa Bay Rays), deciding that the uniforms are the reason for the “identity” issues is much easier than developing a team which is successful on the field.Ī quick note about all those combinations: I’m generally pretty tolerant of the “monochrome” football look ( Redskins, Seahawks, Texans, etc…by the way, this is a great page about the Seahawks uniforms), but I will admit I take issue with the black/black combination because black is in practically every team’s color scheme to some degree, so it shouldn’t/can’t be the only color worn on a given Sunday (sort of serving as the opposite of a unique identifier). The full story of the unveiling of the current uniform can be found at the Uni Watch Blog, but what’s notable is that the new uniforms are meant to establish a firmer brand identity than the (admittedly bordering on excessive) numerous previous options. Unexpected color combination (teal and gold), no superfluous details, a unique, but reasonable typeface for the numbers…you name it, it had everything. Specifically, the alternate combination of Teal Jersey over Black Pants was one of the best looks seen in the NFL. So, the Eagles are in White over Midnight Green for the second week in a row.Īs you’ll see below, I’m no fan of the current Jaguars uniforms, but a big, big fan of their previous (pre-2009) look. On to the uniforms… according to Uniwatch (as well as my keen eye for research), the Jaguars generally eschew the tradition of “warm weather” teams wearing white at home during September/October, and go right for the teal jerseys. Speaking of problems… Andy Reid totally destroyed my witty intro to this week’s column. ![]() If anything would be the sign that you have a problem, betting based solely on uniforms is definitely it. ![]() ![]() ![]() I told you my system only went to 28 - and was based on nothing other than uniforms. Let me first apologize for all of you saw my successful week 1 Unidiction and took the week 2 numbers to Vegas. ![]()
