LEFT 4 DEAD IS A LOT LIKE FOOTBALL - I JERK OFF TO BOTH

Raiders look cool in the all black but ruined by the aways

The throwbacks should be the away jersey. I remember watching a Raiders v Chargers game where both teams wore throwback jerseys and it was basically uniform porn.

I have been arguing with my gf because I am of the firm belief that she has absolutely insane jersey takes. Now she defends this by saying I am partially colourblind (true) but please back me up that these are deranged opinions;

- think Seahawks throwbacks are worse than current unis
- HATES Houston Oilers throwbacks
- Thinks Steelers unis are mid
- Prefer pewter Bucs unis to creamsicles even if its the pewter ones with the alarm clock font
- prefers dark blue chargers unis + helmets to powder blue and white helmet ones
- prefers dark green Eagles to Kelly green
- thinks 49ers have bad unis and colour scheme

It's not just me right? This is insane?

Seems like she prefers darker colors over lighter ones, and if that's the case, it makes sense in that context.

I'm also not a huge fan of the Steelers unis, but that's because I'm not a fan of black/yellow color schemes

As an old rear end Pats fan, I think their uniforms have always been dogshit in general.

The color rush based current ones are stupid as poo poo with the fat stripes that go nowhere, gently caress off.

The really old timey ones were ugly AF and only have appeal as kitch. They're also covered in loser stink.

The brief Giant Flying Elvis uniforms were insanely ugly.

That leaves the dynasty era uniforms, which are the best of the bunch, but even those are too fussy/busy to rise above, like, a B-. They're fine.

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

True, ppl only like the throwbacks because of nostalgia. Also, the current unis are great.

:chloe:

quote:

- Thinks Steelers unis are mid
The rounded numbers don't work, also gently caress the Steelers

quote:

- Prefer pewter Bucs unis to creamsicles even if its the pewter ones with the alarm clock font
Kind of a toss-up in general (OG pewter-and-red scheme looked like knockoff 49ers but it works a lot better with the larger flag on the helmet) but saying the alarm clock jerseys are better than anything is :shepface:

quote:

- prefers dark blue chargers unis + helmets to powder blue and white helmet ones
Are you sure she's not just trolling you? No one besides crusty old men who get sour about powder blue not being a 'football color' thinks this.

quote:

- prefers dark green Eagles to Kelly green
The only problem with the midnight green is that the unis have been unchanged long enough for ppl to get bored with them, but not yet long enough for them to be considered classics. The kelly green pops, but the actual jerseys are a little underdetailed. So, call this one a toss-up.

quote:

- thinks 49ers have bad unis and colour scheme
Has she only watched 49ers games where they had the weird drop shadow under the numbers? Because otherwise, that's just felonious poor taste - I don't even know how you end up with taste that bad.

So, in summary, a good number of her takes are at least defensible, but her bad takes are hideously bad. If y'all are ever picking paint schemes or anything, please feel free to refer back to this post when you need to explain why you should get the final say

I should say with the Seahawks, Bucs and Eagles that I like both the current and throwbacks but slightly prefer one side, and I would find preferring either defensible. Whereas she *hates* the throwbacks on all three. I'm glad somebody agrees on the Chargers and Oilers because those takes made me feel like I was taking crazy pills.

Yeah 00's era pats uniforms were the best but even then when you look back they aren't as good as you remember I think

Their throwbacks and the Broncos are the tied worst for me outside of like obviously horrible poo poo throwing back to the 1940s

I like the Eagles throwbacks as just a throwback, wear it once in a while. The midnight green is the Eagles to me, and it's what they won a Super Bowl with along with their greatest sustained period of success in franchise history. Plus it's a unique look.

Also something bugged me about the Eagles throwback helmets, the color seemed off.

They're good uniforms! They didn't need a wholesale redesign, just a name and logo that weren't horrifyingly racist.

If George Preston Marshall had kept "Braves" it would not have the same level of controversy as the actual slur but I don't know that you could go back to it.

Yeah. You could get away with staying “Braves”, at least for some time still *sideways glance down I-85*, but you can’t pick the name in 2024, much less the Washington football team can’t pick the name in 2024.

They're all red flags but hating the Oilers throwbacks is a different thing. She's probably a serial killer and you should leave while you have the chance.

The design feels outta the 90s or early 00s, and not in a charming way, but you could definitely make those colors work
