Yeah I don’t see uGA either. I didn’t like them from the leak photos but the full release changed my mind. The mix and match is fire and monochrome combos are decent with white/white better than black/black. Gradient isn’t my favorite but it’s an alternate and won’t be worn much.

I don’t mind monochromatic looks, but I hate when the socks are the same color as the pants. White socks under white pants don’t look too bad, but black socks under black pants look terrible, as does red under red. Matching the gradient red jersey with black pants and black socks make the whole uniform look like some kind of one piece unitard. I don’t hate the entire change, I just believe some small changes would bring it up to date.
- Make the stripes on the pants the same triple stripe as the throwback pants. B/R/B on the white pants, R/W/R on the black pants, B/W/B on the red pants.
- Don’t match sock/legging color with pants color, maybe add some stripes to those like the throwback ones as well.
- Just shelve the gradient jerseys. There’s really no need to ever wear those. Reminiscent of when the Hawks unveiled their newest uniform template a couple of years ago with plans to mix/match the red and black elements. I think they wore a mismatched uni twice and they looked so bad they never came out again.
- Reduce the size of the ATL font. It’s so big it overpowers every other element of the uniform.
I actually really like the new helmet. I think it looks great with the white jersey especially. I don’t think the set will be making any top uniform lists, but I think it’s good enough to stay out of the worst uniform lists too. I do think in 5 years when they’re eligible to change again they jump at the opportunity and go back to a more traditional look. But we’ll see
