While I acknowledge that uniform topics are often excoriated, I do have an honest question about our current uniform combination(s). What are the good, and bad, opinions about the current uniform design and jersey to pants combinations? Overall, I love our uniforms, but I've found that unlike the original uni's in the 80's, I like our road jerseys just as much, if not better, than the home blues. I think that it's due to a lack of more contrast in the home uni's, I wish there was something in the blues that made the color pop more and not get "washed out". Furthermore, the all blue "monochromatic" look at home, in my humble opinion, has kind of ran it's course and doesn't really "pop" in my eyes anymore. I really like the Wolf Grey pants with either the white or blue jerseys, reminds me of the original uniforms back in the day plus it allows for more contrast that is currently lacking.
So, if you were king for a day, what would be your selections for home/away combos that we don't currently see? Leave it the same and stay consistent or change it up? For me, I'd like to see the following:
Home: Blue Jerseys/Grey or White Pants
Home Alternate: Wolf Grey Jerseys/Wolf Grey Pants
Throwbacks: When will we have the joy of our original uni's on this team to watch??
Away: White Jersyes/Grey Pants or White Pants
Jersey Design: I still wish they'd bring the Hawk on the sleeve back. Even though the new colors are great, I'd like to see that on the jerseys, would harken back to the original uniforms. Which brings me to the lack of contrast; I think with the Hawk sleeves would address the ultra monochromatic look of the home Blues and would allow for more contrast and bring out the other colors in the uniforms.
Just my opinion, curious if I'm in the minority on this or if I'm not alone.
Go Hawx
