With football getting into full swing, it is a great time to take a look at the NFL’s best (and worst!) dressed, starting with the home (colored) uniforms. Tune in the coming weeks as Ridley Review’s fashion awards look at away uniforms and a combo ranking of alternates and throwback jerseys.
These are totally my own opinion and I am biased as heck. Some notes on my preferences before the hate mail rolls in:
-Striped socks make my heart melt; on that note, icy white uniforms without striped socks or striped pants are not my cup of tea. Writing that makes me feel like a betrayal to my generation.
-I tried to weigh the colors and design equally, although in some cases the colors are so fresh (Bolt Up!) or lame (oh Houston) that they took priority.
-If a team wears a particular combination wayyy more than others (ie Saints in all-black as opposed to gold or white pants), that weighs most heavily for the team’s rank.
-These rankings are just for the colored jerseys, to avoid confusion when it comes to the Cowboys, Dolphins, etc. that wear white at home typically.
Our 2023 NFL home uniform rankings:
Dumpster Fire
#32 Tennessee Titans
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2018-present
Best combination: Navy jersey, white pants, navy socks
Worst combination: Navy jersey, powder blue pants, navy socks
It’s pretty wild that this franchise, which gave us the iconic Love Ya Blue, has ended up with this weird thing. I actually think that using the Greek sword imagery is a cool idea; the helmet kind of resembles a spear, the shoulder patches a sword, and the pants a sheath. Where is goes downhill is everything else: the numbers are overly pointed and the team insists on wearing just the all navy blue more often then not, which is extremely weak:0/5 fire emojis. The armpit splotches are strange and unsightly. Yet the worst offense is trying to fit in a so many different eras: the powder blue and red feels like it’s grandfathered in from the Oilers, the navy blue from the first Titans-era look, and not one but two shades of grey added to the potpourri for some reason. Blow it all up and start again; I would dump the greys and make red more prominent.
#31 Atlanta Falcons
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2020-present
Best combination: Black jerseys, white pants, black socks
Worst combination: All black
The helmet is pretty dope, I must admit. Black and red as the colors? Always fresh. Why are they at 31 then? The numbers are weird and hard to read, the ATL on the jerseys are tacky, and the side panels don’t function well with so many players wearing different colored long undershirts these days that break up the design.
This team has gone through so many different eras of their uniforms, but I don’t feel they have ever fully truly had one iconic design that is “theirs”. I think brightening the red and bringing back the black helmet-red jersey combo is a good starting point.
#30 Washington Commanders
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2022-present
Best combination: Burgundy jersey, white pants, burgundy socks
Worst combination: All burgundy
With the name change came new threads. The new uniforms are just a huge downgrade from the old ones (logo notwithstanding). The helmet is nice, if a little basic, and the burgundy jersey is actually quite nice I feel; the gold numbers really pop. The look falls apart below the belt: it’s almost like Nike spent all the time designing the jersey and ran out of time for the pants and socks, which are so plain it is jarring in contrast to the heavily designed stripes and numbers on the jersey. The “classic” look with white pants just beats out the all-burgundy “pajama” look, but would it kill ya to add some stripes to the pants Nike?
Another team that should blow it up and start again. I’d vote Redtails or Hogs as a new name, and bring back pant strips and gold pants in the rotation.
#29 Houston Texans
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Reebok
Years used: 2002-present
Best combination: Deep Steel Blue (lol) jerseys, white pants, blue socks
Worst combination: all blue
The NFL’s most basic and generic look, somehow the McNair’s decided that the NFL needed another red, white, and blue team, and chose a boring shade of the colors to boot. Actually, seeing how incompetent the team has mostly been for 20 years, it does make sense. This uniform is so boring it hurts. The logo has some swag, but everything else just has no personality and I have no idea how these have survived this long. The design is pretty comparable to a lot of other ones from that era: no helmet stripes, basic jersey design with a custom font, basic pants stripes, and plain socks, just with weaker colors. Most teams with worse unis over the past 20 years have course corrected; it’s time for some change in H-Town.
I know legally they can’t use the Oilers logo, but why not embrace the powder blue if the Titans insist on being a navy team? Or make red the primary since the rest of the division uses various shades of blue.
Stay tuned because rumor has it these jawns are on their last legs.
#28 Jacksonville Jaguars
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2018-present
Best combination: Teal jersey, white pants, teal socks
Worst combination: Teal-out
Hot take time: apart from the abomination that was the half-black, half-mustard helmet, the Jags previous set was their best ever look. While the helmet is back to being nice if a little plain in the current set, Nike in turn, apparently at the request of then-GM Tom Coughlin, took every bit of personality and swagger out of the design. A modern team with a sweet color palette: black, teal, and gold, the Jags should and could have bold, fun uniforms. Instead, Trevor Lawrence slings the rock wearing these: no outlines, the collar and sleeve stripes barely register, and the only have a weird splash of color around the knee that was supposed to match with the stripes on socks initially unveiled with the set and have since been discarded.
These desperately need some kind of outline on the numbers, stripes on the pants, and for the love of everything holy add some gold back into the mix!
#27 Arizona Cardinals
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2023-present
Best combination: Cardinal Red jersey, white pants, red socks
Worst combination: The blood clot (all red)
The only new full set unveiled this season, Kyler Murray finally got his wish to have his team dump the previous Reebok pipe-and-stripe happy set for a red PJ’s. The huge wordmark on the chest isn’t bad but the one-color logo on the back is weird. But paired with plain red pants and socks, with no other design on the jersey, makes this another look that feels incomplete. Here’s hoping the Cards bust out the white pants, which have some fun stripes, with the red jersey more often than not.
That being said, the new 3-D logo on the helmet looks slick and is a massive upgrade.
Wouldn’t mind reppin’
#26 Los Angeles Rams
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2020-present
Best combination: Blue jersey, sol (lol) pants, blue socks
Worst combination: Blue jersey, bone pants, blue socks
I don’t actually dislike this look as much as some other reviewers. I think the plasticky-print on the horn stripe and number outline fits LA as a flashy city, and although I think gradient numbers would work much better on a white jersey, I don’t hate the concept. The colors are bright and gaudy, and the different types of pants stripes are oddly charming. The jerseys suffer from being too busy: a patch, a neck insert, horn stripes, and gradient numbers is a lot to take in.
Changing the “sol” yellow for their old-school athletic gold would go a long way, as well as dumping bone as a color. Seriously: who thought that through.
#25 New Orleans Saints
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Puma
Years used: 1999-present
Best combination: Black jerseys, gold pants, black socks
Worst combination: Black jerseys, white pants, black socks
This is where y’all might bust on the pitchforks and knives on me. I know the Saints’ unis are generally beloved, and when they wear gold pants, I agree it’s a solid, kind of boring, look. But I have never been able to get behind the most frequently used combination: the all black look. There is just so much gold (helmet, numbers, names, collar) above the waist, and then none below it and it always just felt jarring to me. Ditto for last season’s look with white pants which should be rocketed into the sun and never seen again. The jerseys themselves are great, and if this was a ranking solely of those, the Saints would be higher up, but this is a ranking of the whole shebang and sorry, the Saints are just lacking.
A return to the more copper-y gold on their throwbacks would be a major plus too.
#24 New England Patriots
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2021-present
Best combination: Navy jerseys, silver pants, navy socks
Worst combination: All navy
As a die-hard Bills fan who came of age during the Brady era, I am predisposed to dislike Patriot Nation. I swear, though, this ranking is not influenced by my irrational hatred of creepy Bob Craft, Darth Hoodie, and the entire Evil Empire. Indeed, the Pats look has been mediocre for a while. The Brady-era Adidas designed uniforms are iconic for all the winning, but were they good? I’d argue no. The Patriots re-designed their look around their popular Color Rush uniform, which takes inspiration from their old Pat Patriot jersey design with the modern colors.
I think this look’s biggest sins were getting rid of the Brady font and number style, which were classy and unique to this franchise and were very classy, and their insistence on wearing all navy, with the exception of one game at the time of writing where they brought back the superior silver pants.
#23 Carolina Panthers
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Apex/Reebok
Years used: 1995-present
Best combination: Black jersey, silver pants, black socks
Worst combination: Black jersey, white pants, white socks
I think Carolina are holding onto a classic. For years, these were among my favorite looks, but several small changes over the past decade have plummeted the Panthers down this ranking. What changes you ask? The pants and the combinations worn, mainly. The pants used to be a shiny color and have a sexy pointed stripe on the side, but when Carolina switched to Nike’s offerings, the pants became a flat color, and the striping changed from a boldly-outlined point that ended at the bottom of the pants with the logo on the hip to a thinner outline and the stripe “point” now doesn’t end at the bottom of the pants which looks weird.
The Panthers also nailed their color combinations for years: the black-silver-black look was great, and rocking all black with the bold blue socks was a saucy change of pace. In recent years, however, all black has become the standard, with white pants and socks also rotating in on occasion and the classic combinations all but dying out, a disappointment to my fashion sense.
#22 New York Giants
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2000-present
Best combination: Blue jersey, white pants, blue socks
Worst combination: Only one current combination, although the retired grey pants were also a good look
The first classic, and I’d say first “good” uniform on this list, the Giants look suffers by just being a little boring. The jersey has just numbers, player names, and a tiny logo on the chest, and that is it. The helmets are iconic, but you can’t help but feel their 90’s uniforms had more personality than the current digs, which were initially brought back as a throwback to the team’s 1950’s and 60’s look.
Certainly not bad, and it was fun when they alternated between white and grey pants, but one feels the Giants could spice up their drip a little bit.
#21 Miami Dolphins
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2018-present
Best combination: Aqua jerseys, white pants, aqua socks
Worst combination: All aqua
I really, really do not like the Dolphins current look. The 2013 rebrand took what had been a fun look, down to the iconic dolphin-wearing-a-helmet logo, and turned it into something corporate-looking and dull. The helmets in particular suffered: the old logo was just so much better, and the white facemask really knocks these down for me. Yet, I admit I am a sucker for one combination: the aqua jerseys with white pants. The fact that the helmet stripe matches the pants stripe, and the stripeless-jerseys match the socks, makes this a super clean and fresh look. The full-aqua, meanwhile, is just a lot.
With the Dolphins wearing white most of the time, anytime we get to see these bad boys is a treat.
#20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2020-present
Best combination: Red jerseys, white pants, black socks
Worst combination: Red jerseys, pewter pants, black socks
This one kills me. The original version of this look, from 1996-2014, kicked booty. The shiny, gunmetal-looking pewter color was bad*ss and fit the pirate theme to a tee. After a poorly thought out foray into the land of alarm clocks, the Bucs returned to their Super Bowl winning unis in 2020. Mostly. The colors originally used were no longer able to fit Nike’s current tailoring, per the Bucs, and so they settled on a pewter color that is much closer to a dingy brown, which is why with the current set I prefer the white pants to make the red jersey pop a little bit.
There is a lot to like here: the double outlined numbers with a splash of orange as a nod to the past are great, pants striping is treat, and the pirate flag helmet is top shelf.
#19 Indianapolis Colts
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: In-house
Years used: 1957-present
Best combination: Blue jerseys, white pants, blue socks
Worst combination: N/A
An instantly recognizable look, the Colts’ classics have largely been unchanged for over 60 years. The large horseshoe on the helmet, the UCLA-esque stripes, and the unique use of only two colors, blue and white, are pluses. What it isn’t, however, is terribly exciting.
Apart from changing the facemask color to blue and striped socks again, I don’t really know what to add as there is nothing really wrong with this look. It is a classic for a reason, but it just doesn’t have the same rizz as others such as the Packers and Raiders.
#18 Seattle Seahawks
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2012-present
Best combination: Navy blue jersey, wolf grey pants, navy socks
Worst combination: All navy
Of all the redesigns in the Nike era, I think this one is a modern classic as it gets. The attention to detail really sets this kit apart: the feather design is repeated in the sublimated helmet stripe, the jersey numbers, the collar design, and the pants stripe, where it is repeated 12 times to represent the 12th Man, their fans. This is a really nice coordinated touch, and even the other blocks on the jersey serve a distinct purpose: to house the wordmark, the Nike logo, etc. The colors are great too: the neon green makes the otherwise drab navy and grey pop, and it is tastefully used.
Nike’s first design when taking over the league-wide contract in 2012 feels well-thought out and still stands out in a good way over a decade after its introduction. I don’t think they really have a bad combination here, but if forced to pick one, I prefer the more classic-looking pairing with the grey pants.
#17 New York Jets
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2019-present
Best combination: Gotham green jerseys and pants, white socks
Worst combination: Gotham green head-to-toe
The prior set, throwing back to the Joe Namath-era jerseys, were fantastic and still worked in the modern era. That being said, Nike had problems with the right color for those jerseys from the moment they took over, turning what had been a nice Forest-green in the Reebok era through 2011 into a dingy, ugly green that had nowhere near the same drip. Therefore, I don’t think the redesign was a bad idea and the new shade of green absolutely pops. While the new logo and black facemask both suck, the rest of the uniform is pretty solid all things considered.
The only problem here is that the Jets seem averse to ever wearing their best looks: they only wore green one time in the 2022 season.
Now We Cookin’
#16 Minnesota Vikings
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2013-present
Best combination: Purple jerseys, white pants, purple socks
Worst combination: Purple jerseys, white pants, white socks
A modern twist on a classic look, the Vikes really nailed their 2013 redesign. The unique striping on the jersey and pants are fun without being gaudy, and the shade of purple really pops. I don’t have a ton else to say: it is a really solid look.
I could do without the two different number styles (the first and second player numbers use different fonts), and their insistence on using same colored pants and socks.
#15 Detroit Lions
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2017-present
Best combination: Honolulu blue jerseys, silver pants, blue socks
Worst combination: All Honolulu blue
No matter how many times they change their uniforms, the Lions have unable to shake the label of being one of the NFL’s Lovable Loser franchises. On their 4th different look just this century, the Lions are apparently going back to the drawing board again with new uniforms reportedly due next season.
This current look is a little underrated in my opinion. The matching stripes on the helmet, jersey, and pants is nice. The italic numbers with the double shade of grey works for me. The more menacing Lion is a good logo. This look is really only dragged down by the busy sleeves for me: the wordmark on one sleeve and memorial patch on the other, and by the occasional use of full blue, which is a lot of blue.
#14 Cleveland Browns
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2020-present
Best combination: Brown jersey, white pants, brown striped socks
Worst combination: Brown jersey, orange pants, brown striped socks
When the much of the NFL zigged by mixing up their designs, the Browns zagged in 2020 by returning to their classic look, complete with striped socks! While there is only so much you can do with brown and orange as your colors and having no real logo (sorry, Brownie the Elf), I think this is pretty much as good as it can be for the Browns. Unfortunately, you just lose out to your Ohio neighbors on this ranking.
Both the white pants and orange pants look great with the brown jerseys, but I think I slightly prefer the white with the brown jersey. Fans of the orange pants will rejoice, however, when the away uniform rankings come out.
#13 Chicago Bears
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: In-house
Years used: 1961-present
Best combination: Navy jersey, white pants, navy striped socks
Worst combination: All navy
Another classic that will probably never be touched, I have always found the Bears look to be solid but unspectacular. Their unique number font has a cool backstory of being the only non-standard number font in the league for many years, into the 1990’s. The matching striped socks are nice.
Even with the nice shade of orange, I feel the navy is just a little drab, and the wishbone-C logo doesn’t move the needle. I wouldn’t mind brightening the blue a little bit, but it will never happen.
#12 Baltimore Ravens
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2000-present
Best combination: Purple jersey, purple pants, black socks
Worst combination: Purple jersey, black pants, black socks
A very good look, I think the jersey numbers make this uniform really pop. The rounded font, the gold outline, and black drop shadow work splendidly on the purple background. If I had to really nitpick, the purple helmet stripes get lost in the sauce, blending into the black helmet, and the name font looks oddly plain without an outline next to the numbers.
Both the classic white pants and purple pants look great; I think the plain black pants look weird when paired with the purple and drag it down a place or two in the rankings.
#11 Denver Broncos
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 1997-present
Best combination: Orange jersey, white pants, blue socks
Worst combination: N/A
Another controversial ranking, I don’t think this set is dated at all. This is the uniform that revolutionized design when it was introduced in the late 90’s and ushered in an era in which the Broncos have won three Super Bowls. As much as the old Denver D logo slapped, the new horse head logo is also top shelf and the orange jersey stands out with the navy helmet and white pants. The number font is one of my personal favorites, and I actually think the side panels add to this look, even with the pants striping providing not-so-subtle advertising for the Nike swoosh when players are down in their stance.
I predict these will become more missed when they go away, with the team currently looking into a rebrand.
#10 Philadelphia Eagles
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Russell Athletic
Years used: 1996-present
Best combination: Midnight green jersey, white pants, black socks
Worst combination: Green jersey, white pants, white socks
Kelly green fever is back in the City of Brotherly Love, but the midnight green remains a great look in itself. Here we find a perfect balance of green, black, and a touch of silver. Everything is tasteful and really blends together well.
The eagle winged helmets have also never looked better. These could stick around another 20 years and I don’t think anyone would complain.
Flames
#9 Cincinnati Bengals
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2021-present
Best combination: Black jersey, white “Nemo” pants, orange socks
Worst combination: Black jersey, “White Bengal” pants, black socks
Talk about an upgrade! Cinci absolutely nailed their most recent redesign, putting a new spin on their classic 80’s and 90’s uniforms. The tiger striped helmet remains the league’s best, with the striping streamlined in the rest of the uniform and adding to the look without being overpowering. The franchise has seen an uptick in fortunes since the redesign. Joe Burrow-sized coincidence or is it the power of the new drip?
The Bengals really benefit from having only used contrasting socks after the first half of the 2021 season, and bringing back the Boomer Eisaison look with orange socks in the playoffs is just wonderful. The only change I would make is ditching the orange-and-black striped white pants, filling in the white space with black which would remove any stray thoughts to Marlin and Nemo.
#8 San Francisco 49ers
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Reebok
Years used: 2009-present
Best combination: Red jersey, gold pants, red socks
Worst combination: N/A
The Bay Area represents with a pretty flawless look. The beautiful logo, matching helmet and pants, scarlet red color, and Saloon-styled wordmark are great features. The classic three stripes on the shoulders add some flavor to the jersey.
The only reason I don’t have this higher is that the Niners shade of gold is too close to khaki for my liking.
#7 Pittsburgh Steelers
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 1997-present
Best combination: Black jersey, yellow pants, black socks
Worst combination: N/A
While technically this design has been around longer, I counted Nike’s 1997 font change and adding of a logo to the jersey as a redesign. Using the citywide Yinzer colors of Black and Yellow, the Steelers uniform has so many unique features. From the logo only on one side of the helmet to the logo using colors seen nowhere else in the uniform, from the outlined Northwestern stripes to the thick stripe on the pants, this is a look like no other.
I dock it some points because modern jerseys have led to the jersey stripes being awkwardly cut off, but otherwise this is a design to make Pittsburgh proud.
#6 Buffalo Bills
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Reebok
Years used: 2011-present
Best combination: Blue jersey, white pants, blue socks
Worst combination: Blue jersey, blue pants, blue socks
Am I biased? Perhaps. But Reebok’s final design before losing the league contract to Nike was one hell of a parting shot. After a deeply misguided hookup with navy blue in the 2000’s, the Bills brought bluetiful back to Buffalo in 2011. For my money, the Bills’ blue is the prettiest in the league, and logo remains a winner. The striping is perfect, and the Bills may go down as the last team to ever adopt the classic block numbers again. The blue over white combination may be my favorite across the league.
A couple of years ago, I may have had this in the top 3, but several things keep in back. Dumping the striped socks,, the helmet stripe that widens as you go back, and the insistence on looking like blueberries by going all blue half the year holds the Bills just outside of the top 5.
#5 Dallas Cowboys
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike (blue jersey)/in-house (white jersey)
Years used: 1996-present (blue jersey)/1966-present (white jersey)
Best combination: navy jersey, silver pants, navy socks
Worst combination: navy jersey, white pants, navy socks
They may be jinxed, but the Cowboys’ blue jersey is sexy. The colors, unlike the more popular and more worn white uniform, actually match the helmet and logo. The collar striping is a nice touch, as is the star on the sleeve stripes. The double-outlined numbers are also unique and pop well. The helmet is the most iconic in football. The silver pants, matching the helmet, beat the white pants for me, but I think both are great looks.
I know the back story as to why they never will, but it is a shame that the Boys don’t bust out the superiors blues more often.
#4 Las Vegas Raiders
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: In-house
Years used: 1963-present
Best combination: Black jerseys, silver pants, black socks
Worst combination: N/A
Just Win Baby. Although decades of mismanagement and multiple relocations have taken the luster off the NFL’s Bad Boys, the uniforms have never suffered. The simplest uniforms design-wise in the entire league, what makes these is the intimidation factor. Silver and Black, no frills, nothing fancy. Just a single stripe on the helmet and pants, plain black jerseys. They carry far more swag than they ever should. What more needs to be said?
#3 Green Bay Packers
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: In-house
Years used: 1959-present
Best combination: Green jerseys, yellow pants, green socks
Worst combination: N/A
The perfect colors for an Autumn sport, the forest green and bright yellow of the Pack stands out even today. There is a reason these uniforms have, with some minor tweaks along the way losing the socks stripes and simplifying the jersey stripes, lasted over 60 years. The yellow helmet with the “G” stands out from the pack, and the dark green helps balance out the color palette. The jersey design is simple, but effective, and the collar striping is nice. I do think they could benefit from shrinking the size of the shoulder numbers which are oversized and distracting.
An interesting footnote I learned in researching: the Packers are the only team in the league who still handles the production of their own jerseys. They source their jerseys from local supplier Ripon, who use old mesh material to this day, and slap a Nike logo on them as opposed to sourcing them directly from the Swoosh and their fancy new templates. Just a fun little detail that helps the local economy up in Green Bay.
#2 Kansas City Chiefs
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: In-house
Years used: 1968-present
Best combination: Red jerseys, white pants, red striped socks
Worst combination: Red jerseys, red pants, red striped socks
The NFL’s ketchup-and-mustard team, the Chiefs look has always been slept on and it is great to see them get their run in the spotlight with their recent success under Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. The jerseys are perfect: the striping has really returned to prominence with Nike moving them up on the jersey from the cuff to sleeve cap when they took over the uniform contract, and the yellow outlines on the numbers and names make them pop on the bright red. The striped socks matching the sleeve stripes is *chefs kiss*.
The only thing I would change would be to change the logo outline from black to yellow, as black appears nowhere else in the uniform. That little quirk hasn’t been changed thus far, and there is no reason to think it ever will. No matter – this is 4.9/5 fire emoji look.
#1 Los Angeles Chargers
Embed from Getty ImagesDesigner: Nike
Years used: 2020-present
Best combination: Powder blue jersey, gold pants, powder blue socks
Worst combination: Powder blue jersey, white pants, powder blue socks
The perfect threads. After a terrible mistake switching from powder to royal blue in the 70’s, the Bolts compounded that by going to a dull navy in the 80’s. After decades, and sadly after leaving San Diego in a pissy fit after not getting a new stadium, the Chargers unleashed footballing nirvana in 2020. The colors are so beautiful it almost hurts. Adding the number under the bolt on the helmet removes awkward white space. The powder blue jerseys with the yellow bolts on the shoulders are immaculate. While they could have used TV numbers on the sleeves or shoulders to match the bolts, the italic numbers give an “electric” feel that matches the theme.
When the Chargers bust out the gold pants, this is in my opinion the greatest uniform in the NFL today. The white pants are also fantastic and mirror the helmet. There really is no flaws here. 5/5 fire emojis.
