No more Pat Patriot uniforms?/Helmet Thread

No, you don't paint the helmets every week. You may reapply decals to some players who damaged theirs, but not all do.Papelbon's Poutine said:
The process to paint helmets is a long one. It involves shipping them out as they don't get done in-house.
Along those lines, I really like the simplicity of this redesign (although given their success I doubt the team will ditch the Flying Elvis logo anytime soon):

Those are ok, not great.
I think the helmet should be white, with a blue (or red) stripe, and a slightly bolder logo (a flag? something.). As it is, they look a lot like the Giants' helmets.
The logo in that design is a little boring, IMO.

I agree. I can appreciate a well executed simple and classic look but that falls flat. I don't mind an interesting redesign but I'm not sure that captures the New England Patriots. The minute-men were chosen for a reason as they are the quintessential New England Patriots. Is there another symbol that captures that? A Paul Revereesque rider?
Too cheesy-pie?
Exactly.
If they simply ditched the silver (why silver? If there was any point to it being a "cool" color 15 years ago, those times have passed, and it makes close to no sense from a theme/historic perspective. Minute men didn't wear fucking armor.) in favor of buff/off white, and adding a red and blue center stripe to the helmet, I think their uniforms would be about 50% better right away.
In terms of the actual logo, something a little more retro (but not in a totally contrived manner) would be good. If there was a way to artfully merge this:
With this:
that would be boss.
EDIT: come to think of it, it's a missed opportunity that the Flying Elvis wasn't created in a way that referred to NH's Old Man on the Mountain (RIP).

I would like the Patriots to adopt a tradition from soccer and have four stars on the Pat the Patriot logo to represent our championships.
. IIRC, wasn't there talk at the time of the change that silver & new logo were easier to render on TV graphics?MalzoneExpress said:
This is sort of our defacto uniform thread, so I think this belongs here....
Cleveland is the latest team to elect to dress up like an Arena Football League Team.

Nike Sucks.

If they just took the "CLEVELAND" off of the front, it wouldn't be so bad.
There's no need to have the city's name on the uniform. That's so stupid. "Hey, if we put Cleveland on the front, more people in Cleveland will buy it, right?!" It ironically makes the team look like a high school team.
EDIT: Oh, and the "Browns" off of the legs. Good lord. So they literally have brown stuff running down their legs.

And you might note that many teams (at least in MLB) have the city name on the road jersey and the team name on the home jersey. On the road, they are kind of like a visiting delegation from their home city.E5 Yaz said:

I hate the brown pants/brown jersey look, too many teams are doing the same color look, which floats only as road whites.
And the alternate creamsicle version is brutal.
Who wears a cape? Where do you even get a cape?

Patriots will have a change in their chest logo for next year.
