And that seems to be reflected in their ranking of sixth on this list. Folks seem to either love them or hate them. Ultimately, I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews online from their announcement. Both change up the collar message to “bird gang” and drop the chest declaration of their home state. The away version is a similar, but all-white design. They feature “protect the nest” stitched into the collar and “Arizona” emblazoned across the chest. Their new home uniform features an all-red ensemble, whose shade comes across as almost metallic. In an off-season marked by change for Arizona, the Cardinals opted for a makeover featuring a simple, clean, and ultimately fresh take on the Arizona look. This is the first time since 2005 that the franchise has updated its look. The Arizona Cardinals announced their three-pack of new Home, Away, and Alternate uniforms that they’ll be scampering around in for the 2023 season. 6 The Arizona Cardinals – Actual New Uniforms But in the end, it’s nothing breathtaking or even original. I think it’s a better combo and a more modern look. Just a new combination of what has already been. This is essentially a throwback to Madden 2000-something when you could mix and match pants, jerseys, and helmets from the home, away, and alternate uniforms loaded into the system. Ok, well there are new black pants… Oh wait, that’s right, those same alternate uniforms were all black. But the biggest change is just the alternate black helmet… Oh no, wait, they already used the black helmet with alternate uniforms in past seasons. Sure the shade of blue is slightly different. The Carolina Panthers’ “new” uniforms aren’t anything to get overly excited about in my opinion. But were it not for the announcement, I don’t think I would have even realized the differences when watching the game Week 1 as they’re just too subtle to get overhyped. I actually like these throwbacks better than their current standard uniform. The old-school horns are longer than their current counterparts. And the helmets include a vintage horn and gray facemask. The pants’ stripes are also more symmetrical than their current versions. Alas, also akin to the Jets is, there’s not really much of a difference with their throwbacks compared to their regular uniforms.Īccording to the team PR machine, they “pay homage to the team’s earlier voyages with deeper purple and larger gold-trimmed numbers than the modern jersey, as well as retro sleeve stripes.” Although my 20/20 vision was unable to discern the difference in the subtle shades of purple between the two. The Minnesota Vikings joined in on the throwback bandwagon and are debuting them, like the Jets, in Week 1. So they essentially just changed the number of stripes on the shoulders and got matching pants… neat.Īfter last year’s “Stealth Mode” all-black alternates, this announcement was a pretty big letdown. The look is barely different than their current away uniforms which are white jerseys, but with only one stripe, green pants, and the regular Jets green helmet. Historical NFL buffs will remember those teams as the New York “Sack Exchange”.Īlas, that team nickname is way better than these uniforms, and why I have them at the bottom of my rankings. These throwbacks pay homage to the 1979-89 teams that wore white jerseys with two stripes, white pants with one stripe, and their green Jets helmets. They announced that they would be wearing their Legacy White throwbacks in Week 1 and Week 4. The New York Jets are one among many, who are unveiling “new” throwback uniforms this season. Let’s get right into it, Ranking the New NFL Uniforms for 2023. So buckle butter cup, because I’m taking you on a wild ride through NFL fashion. I can finally close all of my spreadsheets and graphs, and just look at pretty pictures and share my opinions. My deep dive into numbers and metrics without even attaching players’ names to them so I avoid biases. Which is to say, none.īut I wanted to take a break from my typical fantasy football analysis. Because, if I don’t then who will? Well, likely somewhere around 63 other individuals with just as much expertise on the subject as myself. So with that in mind, of course, I had to write a whole article ranking, commentating, and breaking down the new NFL uniforms for 2023. With social media acting like a mini-camera crew we take with us everywhere, our collective over-inflated egos have turned us all into onsite reporters and editorialists. Worse yet, we live in a zero-sum reality where every difference has to be ranked. In a 24/7 news cycle that even engulfs the wide world of sports, every tiny nuance gets broken down.
