When is the game against the guards. Nelly and Irvan fit to pop off.

I kinda like them, tbh.

I dig the black on black with the red ATL.

Eh, I don't mind them. A bit too XFL-y for me, but they're not an eyesore.

Looks like Arena league stuff to me, since everybody has all these new 3rd and 4 th sets maybe we can get a Yellow on Yellow end zone look.

Like the matte black helmet and the overall design.

I think the 'ATL' should only be on either the black or red jersey.. as in whichever one is most likely to appear in a "color rush" type bullshit game.

I think the dumbest thing is the ATL above the front numbers. I guess in case the helmet with the giant falcon on the side and your television guide didn't give it away, those guys play for the Falcons.

How many fans do you see walking around in a jersey with a helmet on?

I was about to say the same thing. It's useless unless they're so embarrassed about the jerseys that they don't want people to see them.

They should be worrying more about how to win the NFC South than what their unis look like.

Those NFC south teams can never decide what to wear.

Seriously all of those teams are constantly changing shit.

Falcons wear this: https://cdn2.atlantamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2019/01/98falcons012_getty.jpg

Saints wear this: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61cPFOFgptL._AC_SY445_.jpg

Buccaneers wear this: https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_12_desktop/buccaneers/vefjt8qdln7d4ngie1gm

Panthers wear this: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/618ILTnb3yL._AC_SY445_.jpg

Now quit playing dress up every year.

I agree. I think it's because none of those teams are particularly tradition rich or appealing to a more national audience that they can get away with doing this to their fanbase. Imagine how we would react if the Chiefs pulled this beyond a one off "color rush" or throwback game. It seems like a lot of us like the traditional uniforms.

The Bucs, Falcons, Lions, Chargers, Rams, Bengals, Browns, Titans, Jets, Cardinals, Jags, and Dolphins are all ugly duckling teams trying to make big movements to draw attention to themselves. They have to change things up to get more people buying their stuff.

The Seahawks and Vikings are teams who have made more stylized changes in recent years who already have a pretty big following (at least I know fans of these teams in Central PA where they don't belong).

The more traditional teams with bigger fan bases and a more recent winning tradition are already selling merchandise so they don't need to change much.

One thing about the Chiefs is, they got the uniforms right and they haven't fucked with them.

And the Falcons should wear the unis they wore in the '90s. Those are... XFL/Arena League type unis

Since apparently the entire NFC South is getting new uniforms, I'm gonna repost perhaps my favorite Onion article of all time:

The team with the WORST uniforms in the NFL still remains the Cleveland Browns.

Their uniforms suck

Their team sucks

Their owner sucks

Their city sucks

Their name sucks

I always enjoyed those 90s Chargers unis but that's probably because that's what they wore when I was a kid and they don't wear them anymore. So, its more nostalgia than anything

I'd like to see what the Chiefs helmets would look like in a matte finish. Some subtle tweaks could be interesting.

Not exactly. The helmet logo isn't as vague. Has more definition.

I like them a lot. Whites being the only version that gives me pause. But those are a league wide issue.

I think it's cool that they put the airport code on the jersey to facilitate booking a flight out of town.

Agreed - I think they look awesome! I also like the new Bucs jerseys as well. Fail to see the issue with both. Shrug?

I admit that I wish we had a cool alternate jersey. Just something we wear once a year, like on TNF. And no nothing like the new age crap no crazy design.

I support the idea of doing a helmet design of Lamar’s AFL patch with the old school Chiefs font from Lenny’s days on the jersey.

The LH patch would be bad ass on a helmet

The Chiefs uniforms could be improved a little, we need the qu_eer eye guys to come in for a fashion make over.
