While beauty is in the eye of the beholder I think some of you are being a little overdramatic with your distaste for the new look. I agree that from I personal stand point it is nice to have some gray on the uniform. I don't wear hats, I don't have any gray pants, and as a fan I like to rock scarlet AND gray at the game. These new jersey's will make that a little more difficult. Be that as it may I think these will look great on the field and maybe just as good as the old ones.
I'll step up and play devil's advocate for the stripes. From a design standpoint the old stripes on the sleeves served no purpose other than to throw some gray onto the jersey(like I said before, great from the fan perspective). With both the helmets and pants screaming gray already it really isn't necessary to put more on the sleeves just for the sake of getting some more gray on there. The new sleeve striping now matches the striping on the pants and helmet thus making the color scheme more continuous. I don't see this change as being that big a deal. The tighter fit changes the look a lot as well but if that results in three or four more touchdowns this year I'm all for it.
The only modification I would really like to see at this point is unifying the shades of scarlet. There are now two tones and the non-mesh parts are a little too dark(i.e. shoulders and lower flank). Nike did this purposefully to draw attention to their technology but as fan I think it makes the look a little too futuristic. Changing those parts back to old school scarlet would make the look much more classic and fan friendly.
Ok, so in the end I'm really with the majority of you in that I preferred the old look. That being said, I really don't mind the new look. If anything it will give me a way to differentiate between my Ted Ginn jersey and my Chris Gamble jersey (which has been masquerading as a Ginn for too long). I understand that I'm in the minority of people who don't hate the new look. For those who pine for the old jerseys I can only offer this bit of comfort: once we get a win or two into the new ones the nausea will subside.
