Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Remove the Orange

Thank goodness Tampa Bay ditched the abominations they’ve been wearing since 2014. It’s tough to make red, pewter and “bay orange” look good, and the Bucs don’t really do it. Unfortunately for them, any shades of red and orange don’t work well together. I’d suggest removing the orange from their uniforms entirely, even if it’s in their logo. Save the orange for the inevitable creamsicle throwbacks.

Atlanta Falcons: Scrap the Gradient Uniform

Luckily, Atlanta kept their amazing throwbacks when they redid their look after the season. Because it’ll take some time to get used to the rest of their uniforms. I could point out the weird number design, or the “ATL” wordmark on the front, but I think the biggest complaint is clear.

The Falcons didn’t need to make a gradient uniform. Why just not make it all red? This was a blatant attempt at trying to do too much. Maybe one day, gradient uniforms will be acceptable, but by then I expect a team on Mars.

Carolina Panthers: Shrink Shoulder Stripes

The Panthers haven’t made many adjustments to their uniforms since their inaugural season in 1995. This tweak would be relatively minor, but it would go a long way toward some consistency. With the logo on the sleeve and the numbers on the shoulders, the stripes in between them make the numbers and logo smaller than they need to be.

I know there’s been some inconsistency with the thickness of the shoulder numbers over the years, so hopefully this would fix that. Or just remove the logo and move the numbers there.

New Orleans Saints: Invert Away Numbers

There’s many reasons why the Saints’ white Color Rush/throwback uniforms are some of the best in the NFL. And one reason is the gold numbers with a black outline. Currently, New Orleans’ white away jerseys have black numbers with a gold outline. Inverting that would look much better, especially since you can barely notice the gold outline against the white jersey.
