Uniform Errors form E3 media

Man I would just settle for the Vikings having their captain patches back.

Same as always for me. I just want the Bucs orange pants. Not black jerseys that they have never worn.

Bills, broncos, Lions pretty much have same sock, but y is it only the bills socks are adjustable?

They use an outline of the font rather than solid colors, also it is not centered for single digit numbers. Also just note how great the helmets look this year. Second, the long talked about wrong jersey color... As I just mentioned above, the helmets look great however the jersey color is still off. In the simplest terms, it's too vibrant. Also it looks like it has too much green in it or not enough blue. I think I got it pretty close by just messing with the curves, saturation, and color balance in Photoshop. This should not be a real hard fix. Also I would say the numbers don't appear to be quite the right size but it's hard to tell from that image. Finally, a pet peeve of mine for many years (sort of uniform related)... Other than Bill Belichek, I don't know of any other coach with as predictable gameday attire as Andy Reid. He wears the same thing every week. Always all black... if's it hot/warm, he wears a black polo. If it's cold/chilly, he wears a black windbreaker. That's the only difference. I haven't seen him wear a green shirt since he joined the team in '99. I tried to get through to Michael Young on twitter about this but never heard back. Again, it's something that bugs me every time it cuts to the coach in madden. (also could mention that the headset is worn on the wrong side but I honestly never even realized that till I made this comparison shot.) I was going to show a screenshot comparison of the cheerleader uniforms but noticed that the generic "00 jersey" seems to be for all teams (except the cowboys). So I assume the authenticity of that was not a priority this year, which is probably for the best.

First off, you make great points. However with the color situation, I think that the TV itself can have a pretty big impact on the way certain colors can look. I know that I spend a lot of time in the picture settings on my TV to get everything to look as "realistic" as possible. At one point the greens on my TV were looking a lot like the green in the E3 vids, but it is possible that the TV that was played on for the video just honestly needs to be adjusted better. Usually those tvs are setup to be too vivid anyways. I like to "dull" it down a bit to a more realistic color pallet.

I don't think it is the TV's that matter when I an watch the Eagles play in real life and then play Madden and notice there is a huge difference in the colors of their jerseys. Same TV, still big difference in color.

You may be right for the helmet picture but the full Vick picture was released from EA. That is not a picture taken from a TV, it's a screen cap from the game.

Not to mention the colors have been off for some time now. I think, like a previous poster stated, that they are using the "official" midnight green color instead of taking in how the material of the jersey can greatly change the look of the jersey.

Again, if I'm able to closely match the color with just photo shop, I'm sure they could greatly exceed what I did with ease.
