I've been meaning to do a series like this, exploring every uniform in the league and seeing what can be done to keep it feeling fresh in 2017 without getting too far away from the existing brand most of these teams have established. Before I kick this off, I want to explain a few of the guidelines I'll be following in order to make sure the concepts I'm creating are as realistic and feasible as possible.
1. The one helmet rule is staying in-tact as it would in the NFL. Decals can change but shell must remain.
2. No complete rebrands. Reasonable color changes allowed but no name changes, new logo marks, or colors that have not been used before.
3. No throwbacks will be included. Assume any throwbacks that are currently in rotation for teams are still at their disposal.
Expect no drastic changes to many teams, this is simply an league-wide cleanup to remove some of the clutter and unnecessary elements of existing uniforms to extend their life expectancy. For certain teams who's uniforms would be better off starting from scratch, I'll be adopting some of their more favorable looks from the past, and bringing them to 2017.
With that said, let's get started.
