Technically not an "Organization," but I'll submit UCLA football. Go back to your classic, near perfect look. Adidas has ruined almost everything about their unis.

From the shoulder stripes, jersey patterns, silly alternate uniforms, and now the number font, it is all a mess. Scrap it and return to the timeless look.

Things I've seen on this thread I agree with:
-Rams need to go back to blue and yellow
-Falcons need to go back to red helmets
-Patriots need to go back to the "Snapping Minuteman" and ditch Elvis the Pat(some will disagree because of the success of the franchise since Elvis has been around)
-Cardinals should drop the black accent
-Padres should go back to brown and orange or yellow or both and make the "Swinging Friar" the official logo
Other changes I'd make:
-Lions drop the black accent
-Eagles go back to Kelly green
-Braves should bring back the "Screaming Brave"aka Noc-A-Homa as the official logo
-Reds should bring back "Running Mr. Red" from the 70's and 80's as the official logo



Damn, it's like looking in a mirror. Spot on.

I would add;

Vikings go back to the UCLA/LSU stripes



Tampa back to originals


Brewers back to these



Reds back to this font



Angels add back in the navy



Mariners return to these



Move Tampa to Montreal and bring 'em back



that's off the top of my head for now.

We must have the same taste. Those are all things I am in favor of also. Love the Vikings "UCLA stripes", the old Bucs unis, the old Reds font, the old Brewers(classic) MB glove logo and unis, and the Navy Angels(almost listed this one on my OP), and the old blue and yellow Mariners. While mowing or jogging I think about which unis, logos, helmets, or hats I'd like to see teams use(I know I'm a nerd) and I've thought of everyone of these. I'm a huge Reds fan and that font needs to come back now.

As a Saints fan those were the falcons helmets I grew up on. The "Hey, we've got Jerry Glanville so we have to go all black" was stupid. Just as all of those streamlined logo changes during the 1990's like the patriots and Broncos. And, get rid of the bullshite black outlining of logos except on the Cardinals. I also liked the Orange for the Bucs and their first version of the pewter.

I wishhe Texans would change the font on their team name. looks so stupid and generic. I think a cool helmet ide would be t mimic the helmet of the Dallas Texans(Old AFC team that became the Chiefs). The state outline with Houston being highlighted as a star. but all of that in current Texans colors.

if only they could go back to that.

Is it just me or did they design uniforms better back in the day. LSU, Bama, UGA, etc and all the throwback uniforms are just down right better than this modern crap. F**k Oregon and Nike and whomever else started this crap trend.

The Texans. That is the laziest, most insignificant mascot name in existence. And I can't decide whether or not the logo looks more like a one piece swimsuit, a bottle opener, or some sort of fricked-up crab claw.


Agreed. The Oilers used to be my 2nd favorite team behind the Saints. Rooted for them pretty hard. I'm an Astros die-hard. I like the Rockets...


Just can NOT get excited whatsoever for the Texans. I'm pretry sure it has everything to do with the nickname and the logo. I'm not a fricking Texan.

Titans is an awesome name considering the Greek themes traditionally associated with Nashville.

Do a little research.

The Titans name is one of the least generic in sports.

It's so not generic that most non-Nashvillians don't get it because it's such a nuanced reference.

Yea the Thunder logo and colors are fricking terrible. Anytime you have orange and yellow as part of your colors, you fricked up.

Orange, yellow, light blue, & navy blue.

What the hell is the logo even suppose to be?

Yep. Also a big Astros fan & pulled for the Oilers back in the day. I just feel like the name "Texans" is just reflects sheer arrogance, as if there's something special about being from one of the most populated states in the nation.

I also just realized that the Texans logo bites the Longhorns logo pretty blatantly.

It started in mid 90's. NBA went multi color pastel, while the NFL went with the rollerball look. MLB also had their share of minor league unis in the bigs, and vests were the fashion. The Pirates (IMO) are the only team that look right in vests. We're getting back to the old unis but not quite there yet.

Why? Because of a replica of the Parthenon in a shitty park that only tourists visit? Or because you are known as the "Athens of the South" when the vast majority of universities are shitty, unaccredited ones that no one outside (frick, maybe inside the city as well) could name?

The name fricking sucks. So does the franchise. Nashville is associated with music, hot chicken + meat and 3s, The Bible belt, Civil War history, and Vanderbilt. Not a longstanding, deep routed "Greek tradition". There are more Greeks on a fricking block in Greektown, Chicago than the entire state of Tennessee.
