    Eh, I don't like them that much. I think the road one's are okay, but the home is just bleh. The orange stripe is fugly; should be white, IMO, with an orange outline.

    There are a lot of differences. The side stripe that also runs up and covers the sleeve is the most obvious. But there are no longer any outlines to the v-neck and the sleeves. The outline of the numbers on both jersey's is now different. The font for the numbers is different. The numbers are no longer displayed on the sleeves. And the stripes along the chest and shoulders of the old jersey are no longer. It's the subtleties that count. And honestly, they're not very subtle, IMO.

    And fwiw, I don't think these pictures were actually released to any press yet. I haven't read a press release about the change like Cincy had earlier. Someone just posted them on rivals.

    and yet the colors continue to be a very bland mix of crap, and the changes do not stand out without studying the unis....

    Again, it's the subtleties that make the difference. And I'm not denying the colors are horrible. I believe I even stated so in my original post regarding the new stripe.

    Heres my issue....this is about one color, and that color is green....Im so sick of teams changing the angle of the stripe on thier home unis and expecting us all to run to Sports Authority and slap down $65 for a new jersey....I have one message for all teams that do that: FUCK YOU!!! Pick a home jersey, pick an away jersey, wear them in the appropriate venues, you can change them once every 50 years....

    I think the Dolphins and Raiders have made no noticeable changes to thier jerseys. Oakland has only had those jerseys since the 60's though.

    the Dolphins changed the emblem in the 90s....most NFL teams remain pretty stable, making only major changes occasionally....NCAA teams make tons of subtle changes and NBA teams are the worst....the Magic have had like 20 unis in 20 years

    So far, the new uni's have been bad luck.
