quotemokc 3,906 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Q: Speaking of the fans and speaking of excitement, I've gotten a ton of emails from fans who are just beyond excited about the first major uniform redesign in 17 years. Without giving anything away, what was your first reaction when you first saw the new duds and how excited are you to unveil a new look? AB: Well it's the first time in 17 years that we're changing them which is remarkable to me because I didn't realize it was quite that long. But I did remember when we first bought the team a couple years later that we did change it - and that was a great change at that time. I think that this look that fans will feel, experience and see and hopefully wear is one that's more in keeping with a contemporary look and feel that our fans are looking for - a little more flair. I think the level combinations is one of the things that struck me about the tops and bottoms, the way they could be combined and put together provides a lot of options. The players had a lot of input in the uniforms; you know, they have to wear them. Beyond that, they're young and they're hip and they get it. They want to wear something that looks good on them. I think the uniforms will good on them and even better on our fans. Q: I'll take that as you like the uniforms a lot then? The players having an input on the design is interesting.

The green chrome with the New York on the front of the jersey. The black incorporated with the green. If we did something like that with the red and black, I’d be happy. Same here, I like the Jets new uniforms! Maltese Falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BUBBASBEANS 1,163 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Based upon these comments, I fear us guys in the throwback camp may be in for a bit of a let down. I do t mind an updated style w classic look but I fear Denver, Seattle, etc... ever hopeful but the “young hip” part worried me. I dont hate Jets uni but Denver and Seattle don’t look nfl to me.

The 49ers look is a pretty good. I'm not a massive fan of the Jets uni with New York across the front of the Jersey. I'm more of a 'less is more' type guy and only want to see the numbers on the front of the Jersey. I think we're going to end up with something like this, which isn't the end of the world, but not the throwback look of the 60's/90's many are hoping for. 19226951 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Literally 0% of the fan base is asking for flair man these unis gonna be some new age bullhockey that’s supposed to be hip and cool, but ultimately looks gimmicky and overdesigned.

dirtybirds233 698 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 MAYBE....Blank thought contemporary meant simple? So he was actually saying they're simple with a little modernized touch? I can dream right? If they're something super modern, it would explain Tabeek's 'not what I expected' comment along with him saying he eventually loved them (acquired taste).

I feel like our current uniform was an acquired taste and it’s one that I still haven’t fully acquired the taste for.

A Dog Named Brian 3,798 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If I were a bettin' man....... I would bet that Atlanta United and the Falcons are going to have VERY similar uniforms design-wise, especially with the colors. Just got an email today from the soccer team about them introducing new threads too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure many will love it but for me it’s no btr than what we have except they now can sell 3 jerseys plus a throwback. I’m a basic kind of guy too. Less is def more but AB is abt the $....the “experience” etc. I don’t give a **** abt that. I wanna look like a longtime NFL franchise that doesn’t need the gimmicks. Just win baby!!! If they win maybe I’ll warm up to this new age uniform stuff as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they all look pretty cool. Only the Bucs, Browns, and Jags(not bad, but they are very bland) uni's are actual Nike failures in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I still can't figure out what made the Steelers change to those italic slanted style numbers. Those block numbers were perfect. I still remember Rod Woodson's #26 Steelers jersey.
