    I despise ND's shoulder stripes. the most perfect thing you can put on a football uniform, the one thing that is near impossible to screw up, yet Adidas managed to do just that.

      Those aren't necessarily "Adidas stripes". Back in the '50s/'60s which this fauxback is harkening back to Notre Dame had UCLA stripes








      They do look kinda like Adidas stripes when not worn but that's because the UCLA stripes have been truncated on modern uniforms



      See what I mean?

      But you are right they do look suspiciously Adidas-like and so I think Adidas took the opportunity to honor the history but try to sneak in their design element as well.

        I wasn't talking about Adidas' stipes..I was referring to regular shoulder stripes...the same ones Nike and Russell teams have...lmao.

              Doesn't do it for me. Sleeve or Shoulder stripes. Can't be both. Gotta pick your poison.

              I mean, it's not bad, it's light years ahead of what they had.

                Like 'em.

                I like how although there is that stretchy fabric, it doesn't affect the stripes

                  Perfection!

                  It's got an old school look to it but keeping a modern day aesthetic.

                  I love em!

                  Better view of the helmet



                  The only disappointing news? Turns out no blue pants. I hope this changes at some point.

                    Not bad. Better than what they had. The pants and helmet are definitely the best part.

                      When I saw them at the unveiling I didn't think they were that good, but seeing them in those pictures makes me like them a lot more.

                        I like them too, though I think they should've gone with blue facemasks. As I've said before, I don't think gray facemasks look good on any helmet color except silver or gold.

                          Yes, I'm not the only person that hates that.

                            Buffalo now finds itself firmly entrenched among the best uniforms in the NFL.

                            If I used another team in Madden besides the Packers, I would strongly consider them because that's how much I love those unis. Unfortunately for them, it's Packers or die.

                                Because of the color scheme?

                                The helmet's a different color, the jersey has shoulder stripes and number outlines, and the pants are white instead of gray.

                                Different enough for me.
