Jaguars, Lions Uniform Changes

[Keith]

The new Lions logo was apparently leaked via a product available from the NFLShop.

The changes are subtle, but worthwhile I suppose. I don't think the uniform changes will be all that radical, either, but I guess we'll find out soon.

As for the Jaguars, they are looking to simplify their look, which in theory sounds like a good idea.

From a Q&A with Vic Ketchman (http://jaguars.com/news/article.aspx?id=7730) at the Jag's mothership:
I heard rumblings about Wayne Weaver wanting a cleanup and standardization of the uniform design. The concern was that there were too many combinations and that the Jaguars were losing identity. What are their true colors and which is their dominant color? I think the new uniform design is going to define the team’s colors and provide distinct home and away combinations.

Jaguars will unveil new uniforms at noon CDT on 4/22. You can kinda sorta not really see the back of the new jersey in the image at the link below.

It better be a significant change. I hate it when I get all hyped up about a uni change and then it's something minor.

I haven't browsed them all yet, but most of those fan designed logos are downright awful with some are just plain hilarious. A few are pretty good, though.

They should have went with this one:

Love the little helmet on his head.

Both were pretty minor changes, though I don't necessarily think that is a bad thing. Seems like teams want modern, clean looks. Tough to argue with that, though I hate the little underarm stripes on the jag jerseys.

Jags new unis are blah. The teal flecks in the helmet are different. The swoosh is dumb, too much teal, and they seem to have matte finish pants. It just makes ours look that much better.

It's an improvement, but teal is so played out. I blame the Charlotte Hornets for all this crap.

They should go to all white home uniforms with on special "battle teal" game per year. :)
