Your Favorite Editors Are Back At It: Critiquing NFL Team Uniforms
By Keira McDonough, Media & Communications Manager, and Ella Stern, Editor-In-Chief
Disclaimer: All we did for research was look up a list of team names and their corresponding uniforms.
New Orleans Saints' uniforms
New Orleans Saints
These colors are CLASSY. Black and gold? Timeless. Fashionable. It’s giving football award show. 11/10.
Baltimore Ravens' uniforms
Baltimore Ravens
The black and purple makes me think of ravens, so I’m into this one. The coordination is good, and always points for purple. More sports teams need pink and purple in their uniforms.
Carolina Panthers' uniforms
Carolina Panthers
Not only is this a solid team name, but the colors are very nice and appealing to the eye. My least favorite thing in the world is when schools and teams choose colors that are ugly together to be their colors and then you never want to wear any school or team merch because who wants to wear dark blue and brick red together? Nobody, Natick High. Blue and white are simply good colors together. And so are blue and black. Blue and black make a bruise, and that’s what they’ll inflict upon their enemies.
Tennessee Titans' uniforms
Tennessee Titans
I love the blue color scheme, it’s cool and appealing to the eye. However, it didn’t live up to its potential. The logo is so slick and they could’ve done a cool design with it but they stayed safe. Appreciate the colors, but football is about taking risks.
Cincinnati Bengals' uniforms
Cincinnati Bengals
Yes, the colors are ugly because orange is gross. However, it matches the team name and the stripes on the side are super cool. Overall a solid uniform. I love that the default uniform is black with orange instead of orange and black because it reduces the amount of orange I have to see. The helmets slap though. It’s like a costume instead of a uniform. #TonyTheTiger
Detroit Lions' uniforms
Detroit Lions
Nice uniforms, wrong color. Lions aren’t blue, dummies. Also, the alternate is gross. No groutfits.
Minnesota Vikings' uniforms
Minnesota Vikings
The first two are good, because purple. But the alternate uniform is gross. Ew. Too much yellow that doesn’t go with purple.
Houston Texans' uniforms
Houston Texans
Points off for the least creative team name possible, but points for the fact that the colors are the colors of the Texas flag. They chose regular reds and blues that go together well and not ugly, clashing reds and blues. Uncreative, but solid.
New England Patriots' uniforms
New England Patriots
Red, white, and blue for the USA. Tried and true colors that are flattering on anyone.
Arizona Cardinals' uniforms
Arizona Cardinals
Looks like a cardinal. While I have other opinions about the name of the team, the uniform fits the vibes. Easy to spot on the battlefield.
Oakland Raiders' uniforms
Oakland Raiders
I like that it’s black and white because it’s better than orange and purple or anything ugly and bright that clashes. However, they could’ve taken a step out of their comfort zone and not played it so safe. Add some pink! You’ll look more interesting in a bright color. People don’t want to watch you if you look boring.
Washington Commanders' uniforms
Washington Commanders
These are fine except for the alternate uniform. It doesn’t look like it matches the color scheme or the rest of the uniforms. Better in theory than in execution.
Chicago Bears' uniforms
Chicago Bears
Ella likes that they use their color wheel because they have complementary colors. Keira thinks they’re ugly colors together. And Ella says the alternate uniform is too orange.
Atlanta Falcons' uniforms
Atlanta Falcons
Um. Why are there so many different colors? What makes you so special? It’s difficult for fans to follow, especially fans of the other team. What if they’re playing the Cardinals? Then what happens?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers' uniforms
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ella is positive that this is the worst one so far. The color is some weird grey-ish-brown that looks even worse when you pair it with red. Points off for stealing Brady and Gronk. Points for an awesome team name. But who thought these colors were a good idea?
Green Bay Packers' uniforms
Green Bay Packers
Vomit.
