Any idea when we will get a peek at the new uniforms?
Vic: They will be unveiled at a press conference on April 22.

I'm not expecting any drastic changes. Vic has said that they will be more tweaks to existing stuff.
QuoteVic: That’s a nice story and I never try to let the facts get in the way of a good story, but I think the Jaguars were headed for this uniform change regardless of the changes in their hierarchy. Long before last season began, I heard rumblings about Wayne Weaver wanting a cleanup and standardization of the uniform design. The concern was that there were too many combinations and that the Jaguars were losing identity. What are their true colors and which is their dominant color? I think the new uniform design is going to define the team’s colors and provide distinct home and away combinations.
Not sure how much validity there is, but this was on the Jaguars message board - It would appear to show Jones-Drew in a new style jersey - anyone seen this billboard? The date stamp is what threw me off, I suppose.

Free tickets are included to all those who can catch any free agent WR snorting coke in the offseason.
Yeah, I saw the same billboard tonight on my way home from work. It was on 295 right by Old St Augustine Road.

I saw the same thing on Beach and 295. Pretty cool looking billboards.
I like the idea of a more standardized uni and maybe it will help build a stronger team identity but... I'm going to miss the all black uni's.

::)
The all black uniforms were sweet. I guess having a throw-back will be a good thing though.
I hope they can keep the all black for "special occasions" - say one home game a year.
"Throwback"? The team is, what, a decade old? Throwback uni's are for teams that have history - where they go back to a uniform they wore long ago.

Well said. Yeah, our colors are still gonna be teal, black, and gold. :)
I always hate when outsiders esp. Northerners be dawgin' on the Jags teal saying things like it's a "90's expansion team color" Duhhh!!! Were an expansion team from the nineties. LOL! Ohhh!!! teal isn't a "manly" color like an uniform with any boring combo of gray, red, white, or blue like the Pats, Bills, Giants and like eleven other teams. Gimme a break! Ev'ry team can't be gray, red, white, or blue. I think that the Jags colors are fine, and I love em'.
As long as Miami has Aqua, Seattle has Neon Green, & Carolina has "Carolina" Blue leg warmers, we'll be just fine. BTW, at least we didn't have to explain the winking pirate down in Tampa Bay -

I think our colors are great. The teal is a very unique color and it looks good. 90s expansion team colors.. well.. what was left? What were we to do? "We will take blue and white" Sorry, that is already taken by about 5 teams. "OK.. we will do garnet and gold" Nope, 2 teams pretty much have that. "OK, what about green?" Nope, got those too. "Orange?" Keep trying.
And yet, even after we were left with pretty limited options, I think our uniforms are some of the best looking int he league. I really do hope that the talk of establishing a "tradition" with the uniform happens. I don't want to be like the NBA where every team has 14 alternate jerseys.
Quote"Throwback"? The team is, what, a decade old?
This will be the Jag's 15th season... and the idea isn't to have a throwback to wear next year but some time in the future possibly years later. You can't have a throw back unless you build some sort of uniform identity.
The color patterns, fonts and pants & shirt combinations have changed a lot through out the years. Now they'll have 2 constant uniform's, home & away.

Anybody think we could see teal pants? I hope not.

What Schwaz said, we have to start somewhere. Yeah, the Jags are a young team but 10 years from now it would be awesome to see a primetime home game in the throwback all black getup.
NO TEAL PANTS!!!! :)

or the original uni from 95-99. I watched the NFL films recap of the 96' playoff win in Denver and was really surprised by how different the uniforms were and how much larger the pads were then.
Sorry, my misunderstanding, I thought you were saying we should have a "throwback" option this year ... not looking to the future when one of our uni's will be a throwback. Makes sense, it does.
Its payback time for ending Marino's career with a 62-7 thumping 10 years ago. New uniforms won't save the Jags from Ronnie, Ricky and the Wildcat on Dec. 13. (coming from a Phins fan)
:D The gauntlet has been thrown... :D

Let's see how successful you are in the division with Brady back in the mix before you go buying suberbowl tix.
That stomping was 10 years ago? Still feels like yesterday... ;)

No more white tops and no more Black on Black uniforms. All home games will have the teal tops and white pants, and away games will have the White tops and Black pants. They also did a pearlescent effect on the helmets. Where the helmets look black and as light is reflected on it, it gives off a teal'ish color.
Kind of underwhleming. I think I'm glad they've streamlined the options and combinations, but these are very plain; monochromatic.
Is the color-pallette flamboyancy of the early 90s giving way to an attitude of toned-down and melancholy for the next 20 years? If that's the case, I might just go hibernate now.
My thoughts exactly... very... underwhelming
I guess black is the new...black.
I'd like to say it looks better than what my screen shot would portray, but I may be stretching it. If one thing I hated was how they changed the lettering on "Jacksonville Jaguars". You can see it a lil by this picture.

But Garrard is looking fit n' trim!
Hmmmm.... I like the helmets!
What happened to the gold accents? Are we saving money by getting rid of the fourth color? And where are the bolder pants stripes and numbers? And those lines coming from the armpits? Looks like we spouted wings!
I liked the older schemes better and wished they just picked one of those and stayed with it. I guess Reebok could afford to sponsor the billboards because they figure the fans will now go out and buy the all-new color schemes.
I still miss the leaping full body jaguar of the first season they were forced to drop when Jaguar Motor Cars objected to the similarity to its trademark.
^^^I totally agree. It seem like the reaction most Jags fans have concerning the uniforms is like "eh, they're okay"; That's even the reaction that the CBS 47 newcasters had this evening. I guess I'll live wit' em.
I like them! I am very happy they finally changed. I liked the old ones, but it was time for a new look. Jaguars official have a throwback jersey now, so if they get a Thanksgiving game we can all remember the old sets. I wish the helmet went teal though. It would have made the change more noticeable through out the league. I doubt a Cowboys or Steelers fan will notice the little changes. good Stuff
Lets revisit the whole "throwback thing" in 20 or 30 years... ::)

Hey Lake, When did "The Wild Cat" join New Edition?
I like the new font, actually, I would have liked any font that was different from the old type face. I can't say what I didn't like about the old style, but it just set my teeth on edge.
I'm still hoping they can bust out All Black for one home game a year.
According to Mr. Weaver the all black is over and done. For all home games it'll be teal over white and for road games it'll be white over black unless the home team chooses their light colored jerseys. In that case we'll wear our "home uniform" on the road. No special combos.
Concur.....boring! The black on black that they DID have was sweet! The should have done an all spotted helmet kind of like the Bengals have the striped helmets instead of the Carolina-esk head on the side. Who designed these uniforms anyway?
Judging by the sheer uninspired blandness... I would have to guess... Jack Del Rio... ;)
I still think the new helmets need booming bass and spinner rims.
I actually think they are decent. Remember, something that is supposed to be timeless generally won't exhibit any "wow"s (because usually the Wow's involve something trendy).
Will these last the test of time? Ask me in 10 years.
One thing that I wish they did was keep ANY logo on them. I know they ditched the full body logo (which I agree with), but I wish they put the jaguar head logo on the sleeves.
I'm on the "blah" bandwagon. The new stripes on the jersey and pants just seem out of place to me.
The new helmet color is kind of cool and we're the only one to have a color changing helmet.
The biggest disappointment for me is the new teal. It's like a powdered dulled down shade of teal that doesn't pop like the old electric vibrant teal.
The new font and Jaguar name logo is uninspiring as well. The team got all these changes from the NFL's creative department. I can just see the exchange;
Weaver: Hey NFL Creative, how bout' a fresh look for the 2009 Jacksonville Jaguars?
NFL Creative: Aren't they a Canadian team?
It's funny how we were always criticized for teal being our main color and now that what I miss the most :-\
Looks like the Jags aren't the only cats tweaking things -

Sadly, my Lions should focus less on what they're wearing and more on winning games.
I predict that the Lions new Unis will be good enough for one win this year... :)
Just as my daughter painted 1/2 the walls in her apartment TEAL BLUE y'all go and do this!
YAWN...

*That's* what it is. Good call, Shwaz. No color-pop adds to the snooze factor of the new uniforms.
And black on black was probably the best-looking scheme in the stable. I'll miss those.
I love the uniqueness of the helmets - I haven't been able to see them up close, but maybe that'll provide some pop.
After seeing the helmet on the news I like it even more. That thing is sweet!
Plus, the jersey looks much better than the pictures posted earlier portray. I think an "in person" viewing will grant them even more appeal.
Are yall sure that so called "new teal" isn't the same teal? It looks the same to me. The color teal has a funny way of looking like another shade esp. in photos; I've seen Jag jerseys in photos that look Miami aqua; Teal is just funny like that.
I never wasn't too wild about those old all black unis; Are we the B-more Ravens? The Raiders? The Saints? Too vague, bland, and non-distinguishing. Our Identifying colors mainly should be the teal, and the gold(which the Jags unfortunately seem to abandon, besides the jaguar head).
Jags get a new set and now Tennessee wants to wear thier "No Fans" Uniform.....how lame, now they want to honor the "No Fans" years? lol give me a break. They trade Warren Moon then move the team and want like they are this historic club now. If they ever wear the "No Fans" uniforms to Jacksonville I hope they get CRUSHED....I mean worst then the Dolphins got CRUSHED in 99.....man I hate the Tennessee Tittieboys!!! They should have left the "No Fans" sets in the closet!
QuoteI still think the new helmets need booming bass and spinner rims.
The Jaguars are the first team ever in the league history to have SpectraFlair Helmets....They might as well have a chrome face mask which would be awesome lol!!!!
SpectraFlair is supposed to give off a rainbow effect, when the sunlight hits these new helmet a teal sparkle will reflect off of the helmet.
SpectraFlair!!!! get your sparkle on!!!

I-10 East is correct - despite the way that pictures have looked from various sources (including Reebok themselves), the teal color is, for a fact EXACTLY the same. This did not change whatsoever.
^^^Right on Steve. Here's a link below (jaguars.com) that have contrasting looking Jag jerseys. MJD's jersey looks like it's in freakin' Panthers colors.
