These 10 NFL teams really need a uniform change
We're at the point of the NFL offseason when the important subjects are finally getting addressed:
Uniforms.
The Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars released their newest uniforms on Thursday.
It was a start. But really, that's not enough.
The NFL has plenty of teams that need a change in style, and at For The Win, we're here to help. These are the 10 NFL teams that should change their uniforms as soon as humanly possible.
10. Browns

The Browns' uniforms were bad when they were unveiled in 2015, and they haven't gotten any better with age. From the "Browns" print on the pants to the weird sleeve striping, none of it works. Luckily, it sounds like the Browns are already working on a uniform change.
9. Bengals

I'm not trying to pick on Ohio, but there has to be a better way to be a tiger-themed team without a ton of tiger stripes all over the uniform. Less is more, Bengals. The helmet is plenty.
8. Cardinals

The classic helmet and the mid-2000s futuristic look never worked. The uniforms are also too close to the Falcons for comfort.
7. Rams

Make the throwbacks the full-time uniforms. It's that simple. That way, we can avoid the mismatched home uniforms.
6. Broncos

The Broncos essentially have not changed their uniforms since 1997. And in 1997, it was a sleek, modern design. Twenty-one years later, the uniforms are incredibly dated and in need of a change. Any change. Something different, please.
5. Eagles

The Eagles' uniforms would be so much better - possibly a top 5 uniform - if they brought back the classic Kelly green.
4. Buccaneers

Nothing about this uniform looks good. The Bucs should start by ditching the pewter (for silver or black) and bring more of the orange into the mix. Really, anything is better than what they're currently wearing.
3. Falcons

The Falcons have worn the same uniform concept for 15 years - the only change being the initial red alternates serving as the primary homes since 2004. It's a dated design that only looks decent in red. Plus, the Falcons' throwbacks and Color Rush uniforms have both been vast improvements.
2. Panthers

The Panthers have not changed their uniforms at all, and they really need to. That's the doing of Jerry Richardson who vowed to never change the uniforms as long as he owns the team - he won't for long. Hopefully the new owner will bring in a refreshed look that doesn't scream, "We're from the 90s!"
1. Jaguars
Uh, these are bad (especially the roads - where's the teal?!). It's never too early for another change.
