NFL World Reacts To The Arizona Cardinals New Uniforms
Three uniforms were shown at the event. A new home, away, and alternate jersey were shown with subtle updates. “Arizona” was put on the front while “Bird Gang” appears on the uniform as well. What stuck out to most fans was how boring these look.

People just thought they were bland and boring. There is no character to them. When they tried, like with the “Bird Gang” nickname, it just didn’t land with fans.

Nothing New
Another gripe that many fans had with the uniforms is that they are unoriginal. One fan used a well-known meme to say that he can barely spot the difference between these and the previous uniforms.

Another fan thought the alternate uniforms look identical to those of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

They do look remarkably similar. Overall, fans just wanted more out of the new uniforms. Any time that an update happens, NFL fans hope for something that they have never seen before. Instead, they got a bland, boring remake that doesn’t push the envelope at all. The logo didn’t even get an update something that fans were hoping would happen.
The Arizona Cardinals were hoping these new uniforms would create some positive buzz around a season that does not have much positive outlook. Kyler Murray is out for at least the first half of the season. DeAndre Hopkins and Budda Baker, who weren’t at the reveal event, are likely to be traded. It would not shock anyone if the team is picking in the top five of next year’s draft. The uniforms were a clear miss and fans let the team know about it.
