As mentioned earlier today, the Miami Dolphins supposedly had their logo leaked. The same person that leaked it has the Jaguars new jersey leaked too. There is no confirmation on the validity of this jersey, but let’s critique it anyway.
The first thing you’ll notice is that the patch is placed on the left side. It’s different slightly from the official logo, but it makes sense for the head to face center.
You’ll also notice the gold and what appears to be gray along the shoulders. The gold looks fine and it kind of reminds me of Cal football. The gray is what surprises me. The team has never talked about gray as being part of their color scheme. Why do we see it here? Is it supposed to imitate an image of leather pads?
I think it might just be because this is a replica jersey. I bet the game-authentics actually feature some kind of reflective design and the best way to replicate it is to make it gray. It appears that the two gray stripes might look like some kind of armor or something. Who knows?
And lastly, the jersey numbers look pretty nice (and it has teal!). It looks sleek, just like the rest of the team’s wordmark and identity. The patch, the sleek numbers and the padding make it look like a military uniforms — something the team has emphasized.
I can’t judge too much from this image but so far, I can dig it. I have to see the rest of it, but it appears the Jaguars might be going the way of the Seahawks and coming up with a completely off the wall re-branding. Nike has done it again!
