NFL Uniforms: One change every team should make

AFC West uniform changes

Denver Broncos: Change Letter Font

Denver’s uniforms are actually pretty nice. I could nitpick that side stripe thing that extends up onto the front of the jersey, but they give the Broncos a unique look. Instead, I’ll suggest a minor adjustment that has always annoyed me: changing the font for the last names.

Those little pieces of text hanging off certain letters are called serifs, but they’re usually on the end of letters and not randomly sticking out of the middle. Changing the font would be a nice clean-up.

Los Angeles Chargers: Shrink the Shoulder Bolts

Like I said for the Patriots, it’s tough to picture how a 3D rendering translates to the football field. Although, I think it’s safe to say the Chargers will be looking G-O-O-D next year and beyond. The Chargers have always had some of the best uniforms in professional sports, and the ones they unveiled two months ago should surely continue that tradition.

But I can’t tap out, so my suggestion is to make the lightning bolts smaller. I’ve never been a fan of huge shoulder emblems, but maybe these will look smaller on game days. Also, time will tell how I feel about numbers on helmets again.

Kansas City Chiefs: Move the Stripes Up Slightly

There were teams where it was much harder to think of a potential change. Kansas City was definitely one of them. So I’m really digging deep here by suggesting to move the stripes higher up from the end of the sleeves.

I’m talking less than an inch, but it would be enough where the stripes wouldn’t get cut off in some types of jerseys. This is a common problem that teams with stripes on their sleeves have tried to fix over the years, and the Chiefs could be the next team to follow suit.

Las Vegas Raiders: Make Away Numbers Silver

I may not be a fan of the Raiders’ threads, but it’s hard to mess with tradition. Luckily, inverting the colors of the away jersey numbers is still a classic look for a team. It works for their similar Color Rush jerseys, it should work for their away jerseys. Silver numbers with a black outline would look better than black numbers with a vaguely visible silver outline.
