That’s not a uniform change. Those are alternates. 

it matches my call though of going blue....and adding the white helmet though. 

that said, I feel my Cher opening for AC/DC concert announcement is probably closer than anything anyone else can do.

New uniforms would’ve been announced before the draft so that the rookie can take all his pictures with them. There’s zero chance it’s brand a new uniform. 

Nothing against any of our picks this year, but I don't think any of them necessarily justify timing a uniform swap.  It's more about wanting a fresh look for a new era a lot of times.  It doesn't always coincide with year 1 of a rookie.  Purely anecdotal, but I feel a lot of uniform updates happen in year 2-3 of a build.  I think it's because most teams don't wanna use a good design on a team that ends up being trash lol.

I also remember seeing somewhere that Tepper and co like the current sets and plan to make very minimal changes if needed, hence why we’ve been playing around with the jersey and pant combos. 

This, even more so now that we know the team was so high on T-Mac, as highly drafted offensive skill position players sell a poo ton of jerseys.  

If we were planning on new uniforms this year, they'd have done it before the draft so they could capitalize on the hype of the rookie pick to help sell even more jerseys.

To be honest, at this point, I think Tepper is waiting on Bryce to make a jersey update.  Once Bryce proves himself one way or the other, Tepper will update the jersey's that following offseason.  

If he proves he's our franchise QB of the future, releasing them that offseason will drive a ton of sales.  Just as the same is the opposite, if Bryce struggles again and the team knows they'll replace him in the draft, they'll release them that year to again, drive sales.

I agree with this part.  But you already bought your T-Mac jersey, so I understand your bias lol.

Well they haven't been shipped out yet despite this past Friday being when they were supposed to and then an email went out saying they were pushed back a few more weeks.

So you could make an argument that they delayed them as they'll be the new uniform and the team hasn't been ready to debut them yet, but I still don't see that at all being the case as it would just be weird to do it all after the draft and after all the rookie card pictures have been taken in the existing ones too.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
