I purtymuch hate them. But they are exactly what i thought they would look like. I know how corps think 🙂
They will appeal to the young fans.
My own aesthetic was formed a long time ago, and it hasn’t changed and it wont change, and the new uniforms suck, and the corporation that designed them sucks, and the corporation that hired the corporate-designers sucks.
These are good uniforms. Here. They cant be made ‘new and improved’. No PR bullshit or marketing can change that 🙂
well shoot. there ya go. white jersey and pants with the blue socks.
ya don’t even like the helmet?
wow. well i was pretty close. 33.5″ is long enough i would think. von miller has 33.5″ arms. jonah also measured in with 10 1/8″ hands.
here were von’s measurements from his combine.

arm length – 33.5″
hand size – 9.25″

3 cone – 6.70mind you. jonah williams is doing this at 281 pounds. 35 pounds more than miller.
here’s some other pass rushers and their measurables. again williams is 281 pounds.

3 cone – 6.89his numbers are right there with all of them. so while it doesn’t guarantee success, he does have the physical attributes to succeed at this level. it just comes down to if he has the mental attributes.
another thing on akers’ 10 yard split. and just how fast it was.
here’s an article by frelund on nfl.com. the fastest 10 yard split she’s recorded since 2003 is 1.45 by dk metcalf. i have others list his 10 yard split as 1.48. but let’s go with 1.45. akers was 1.47. that’s fast.
1.45 seconds
D.K. Metcalf’s 10-yard split of his 4.33-second 40-yard dash clocked in at 1.45 seconds. This is the fastest 10-split by any combine runner in my database (starting in 2003). For some context, this is faster than Julio Jones’ 1.50 10-yard split and 4.42 second 40-yard dash and they are similar heights: Metcalf checked in at 6-3 3/8 and 228 pounds, while Jones was 6-2 3/4 and 220 pounds. I don’t mean to suggest they are the same; I am only saying that results like Metcalf’s help generate more positive momentum, countering his injury history at Ole Miss.https://www.nfl.com/news/2019-nfl-scouting-combine-twelve-numbers-that-matter-most-0ap3000001021021
one other thing. i decided to look at cam akers ypc and compare it to the rest of the team.
so in 2019
cam akers – 1144 yards on 231 carries for 5.0 ypc
fsu team – 1829 yards on 477 carries for 3.8 ypc
so fsu without akers – 685 yards on 246 carries for 2.8 ypcin 2018
cam akers – 706 yards on 161 carries for 4.4 ypc
fsu team – 1093 yads on 392 carries for 2.8 ypc
so fsu without akers – 387 yards on 231 carries for 1.7 ypclastly in 2017
cam akers – 1024 yards on 194 carries for 5.3 ypc
fsu team – 2024 yards on 463 carries for 4.4 ypc
so fsu without akers – 1000 yards on 269 for 3.7 ypci think some of this is to be expected since akers was clearly more talented than the other runners. and if you look at the other running backs in this class, you see similar trends. but it also shows you how poor that oline was. i mean 1.7 ypc without akers??? that can’t be good. 2019 wasn’t much better.
we’ll see.
Blue jerseys, yellow knickers, blue socks and off-white jerseys, off-white knickers, blue socks will be alternates.
of the four options i would prefer these two. although i would like to see them try out the off-white jersey with the blue knickers and blue socks.
The most iconic helmet in the history of football is no more.
I agree with Ag, though – it could have been worse.
it’s still the horns, no? they kind of pop out more now. they’re 3d-ish. i thought i was going to hate it.
could have been much worse. but the helmet is growing on me.
