For me, the amount of gold in the uniform is distracting. It’s not enough or it’s too much. It’s a token color variation. Either take it out or add more.
The issue is, they couldn’t change the jersey. That has to do with NFL contractual obligations to the companies that sell jersies. You can;t just void their stock overnight.
So all that happened is, they changed the helmet but could not change the jersey.
I think the gold is a distraction. It just doesn’t look “right,” but I’m happy for the helmets, and happy mostly for Sammy Watkins and the upcoming Super Bowl championship season.
