New Unis
 

Announced for arrival April 15. I hope they keep the burgundy matte finish on the helmet. I wonder whether they’ll make the throwbacks from last season a standard version. I suspect they will.

I didn't even realize that they were going to update the uniforms lol

Re: New Unis
 

Some chatter about it for a while but they issued a teaser (which reveals nothing) earlier today. I hope they change the white jerseys. They’ve never done it for me.

It's the SB era uniforms coming back.

That's all they needed to do in the first place when the name changed vs the shit show they rolled out on 2.22.22.

More Snyder stench gone for good.

The helmets will be going back to a glossy finish.

Re: New Unis
 

I hope they make some modifications to the black alternates too.

That’s the one thing with the current unis that I really like. Nothing else in the league like it.

If you’re talking about the black “Steelers” unis then YES, please dear God change those!

No indication that they're changing the team name though. Just the unis. I hesitate to say more for fear of opening up the endless debate that consumed us for what felt like an age about the team name. As the guy who started this thread, if that happens, I vote to immediately lock this thread and throw away the key.

Commanders still is horrible, but I will take the uniforms all day. Can't wait to see what they look like.

If that is the new logo it looks like they put as much effort into it as Snyder did with the Sean Taylor "statue". In Harris did we get rid of one Snyder just to get another???

That looks dull.

Re: New Unis
 

They’re out. Pretty predictable. Basically last year’s throwbacks now in both burgundy and white, and new black alternates with the spear.

I’m ok with them - nothing terribly inventive here but better than what they’re replacing. Low bar to clear.

For our regular uniforms, we returned to our 80's style. For the alternative uniforms, I'm really glad they updated it as it now looks like the uniform belongs to Commanders instead of Steelers.

Alternatives are a definite improvement. I kinda liked the matte finish on the recent helmets. But these will do.

Huge improvement across the board. The new blacks look awesome

Re: New Unis
 

Well done!! Finally, those Snyder uniforms are gone. Those blacks are fucking ridiculous. Massive improvement over the other ones.

Re: New Unis
 

The black helmet wins hands down. Wish they had brought the speared W to the standard helmets (maybe a black spear)

Re: New Unis
 

Gold pants are back too, love it

Re: New Unis
 

Love the color schemes, the number font, and gold face mask too. Would prefer the alternate to be just a spear with no W but it looks much better.

For those that were hoping the block W would go away remember the team needs to submit trademark applications and by many accounts is not going to be the permanent logo.

Re: New Unis
 

That arrow going through the W just doesn't work visually.

The W is supposed to give a 3D perspective with each strip going in front of the previous one, but they have the arrow shaft going in front of the third strip but behind the second strip.

Just awful. :Flush:

I’ve seen this complaint, personally I just can’t get that far into the weeds to care about an alternate logo.

The arrow itself is not only generic but it is a flawed design like you said. But the uniform as a whole is awesome.

Does make you wonder why the lack of effort in detail though.

Some speculation that a full rebrand of the name and logo could come with the new stadium

Re: New Unis
 

I mean, they are ok, but the truth is, our team just has a w on the helmet vs redskins most detailed icon profile in the NFL. So all they did is out a spear through it, which is good enough I guess, but I truly don't understand if the redskins are gone because we so offended native Americans, why are we putting a native American spear back on the helmet?
I mean I don't mind, but I was never offended, but it seems like on one hand we are not talking about native Americans but on some alternate Sundays we are back to representing them again? I mean...it this just a test drive to see if people freak out again? I mean I think Tuddy is awesome and all, but there is nothing/no one as respected as a native American chief in all his glory.

Playing halfway is what they are doing, it must be a transition of identity or something
I thought if they went warriors or commanders, we'd change to cammo and put a jet fighter or tank on our helmets and have a whole section of armed forces in uniform for free at every game and honor military at the half or something.

If commanders really "means" redskins, without "saying" redskins, I guess I get it, but then let's get rid of Tuddy and replace him with something related to the spear, not a dumbass pig with a military helmet. I mean how could you say redskins in another way? I have always been a warriors fan for that reason, plus you keep the w, which I actually have gotten used to.

Another point, it is the chiefs who play in arrowhead stadium, yet the arrowhead is on our helmet. I know I know, the 60s we had em. But we also had really cool gold helmets with the R based on Green Bay.

On a positive, the uniforms are fine, like the helmet triple stripe and gold cage.
My issue is the lack of team identity, what the hell is a commander?
Ask a 5 year old to draw a picture....they will draw Tuddy, arg

They're definitely leaning into the whole warrior/gladiator thing, nothing NA related is mentioned in any of the press about the new spear logo.

I agree with that. And I really do like the numbers and the bold borders that make them pop. I hadn't noticed the gold pants are back -- you only can see that when they show the design, not photos of players in actual uniforms, and I really like the gold pants (and would always prefer that to the all whites). It's a little hard to tell, but the helmets look a shade lighter than the burgundy jerseys; I hope I am wrong there. But overall, I am good with the unis. I cannot imagine anyone would say that they're not an improvement over what we just had last season (the white jersey's are not good, and the black never grew on me -- this black set is hands down better).

Re: New Unis
 

I hope they get rid of Tuddy sooner than later

Re: New Unis
 

[quote=GridIron26;1380365]I hope they get rid of Tuddy sooner than later[/quote]

I'm with you on that -- the mascot doesn't seem to match the commander name all that well.

Re: New Unis
 

One improvement they adopted was the removal of the Commanders name from the uniforms. They do show the word on the back of the alternate, but looks like that is a place holder in the spot the player's name goes.

Re: New Unis
 

Junkies mentioned that Florida St. has rights to the full spear and that might be a reason why we didn’t use the full spear.

I doubt that. A spear is pretty generic and there would be little to no likelihood of any confusion between the brands (touchstone for trademark infringement). Plus, we’ve used it in the past. I think it was more a matter of trying to merge past and present.

Internet suggests it is copyright of the university. While we retained rights extant when it was originally used before that, as it was subsequently copyrighted we surrendered rights to use the logo if e wanted to use it again. Nothing definitive anywhere as there has been no legal challenge, but they do own it.

I doubt there is a sufficient quantum of creative expression for a spear -- without more -- to be eligible for copyright protection. A trademark may be a different story, but there one would have to show a likelihood of confusion, and that seems unlikely given the obviously differences between the NFL and college football. The Internet says lots of things, and many of them are dead wrong. This is one of them.
