The change to the one helmet rule to bring back goated throw back unis has significantly improved uniforms

Those Tampa Bay Creamsicle jerseys & Errol Flynn logo are still my favorite unis of all time. When they wore them again this season, I found myself rooting for em again, just like I did as a 10 year old kid in 1977.

The Seattle retros are the best NFL uniform ever. just a great design and color scheme

As a sports uniform nerd, I love this video 😎

I truly enjoy the modern trend of this era: Take the old simplicity and add your team's unique twist. Seeing the Jags go form "bright but a bit cluttered" to "it's 90% black now" to "ok fine we're in Florida we'll keep it light" has been great but they're 1 unique sellling point from turning that into a top tier look

I was watching the Cowboys game and I was just mesmerised by the seahawks uniforms. The blue was so crisp and the way the green merges as a logo and pinstripes on the shoulders made me want to cry. I think simplicity is the way NFL uniforms should be.

The vast majority of nfl teams’ old uniforms from the 80s/90’s are their best and it’s not even close. Buffalo, Tampa bay, Seattle, Philly, Atlanta, etc, old uniforms are way better than anything they’ve had since they changed from those ones decades ago. Have those teams use those uniforms as their standard every week jersey and use new alternates that are actually good looking like the bengals did with their all whites (which fans of the nfl had been begging the bengals to adopt for years. Seriously, there are dozens of good looking alternates teams should use which fans have designed just like the bengals did with the all whites). It’s that simple.

The color rush era was unironically one of my favorite eras. Not all of them were great, but a lot were so clean.

The most important parts of the game are the logos and uniforms

As a Chiefs fan, I've always found it to be kind of neat that you can go back and watch footage from Super Bowls 1 and 4 and that the Chiefs, Packers, and Vikings basically look the same now as they did then. Don't fix what isn't broken.

The throwbacks this season were phenomenal

Raiders, Vikings, and Cowboys are so iconic in look and they should never change ever. Literally perfect should never change the Jersey or logo

I love uniforms and design throughout the eras!

Set the edge is the best! I love edging!

as someone who followed football his entire life, i think this is the first time ive seen a deep dive on the actual history of the uniforms in general. Normally whenever the NFL uniform is discussed it's usually about the pads or helmet or perhaps whats the latest design is today for merchandising but never a deep dive like this. Well done.

I love this crossover into fashion history and football history!

So glad to be a life long bengals fan and right now our uniforms just straight up rock

I personally love the colts logo/helmet may they never change almost as iconic as the cowboys

The problem with the "Present Era" is that if you buy a jersey through the NFL shop is that you get a jersey made by Fanatics

Color Rush was a *frustrating* era more than anything. So many teams had wasted designs (Packers, Ravens, Colts) that weren't different enough to justify their existence, but then you get the Seahawks in blinding neon green (which was PERFECT for the Seattle fan base and you can't convince me otherwise). What Nike are doing now is what they should have done from the start (different strategies for different teams). Throwbacks are perfect for teams like Seattle and Philly with throwback colors, but Indy's base design is so simple and classic that you need to try something else (the black helmets were a start, but they should try a mostly black design). Heck, now Color Rush can come back as new jersey color options that didn't exist before. Would the Packers look *good* in yellow jerseys? Probably not, but you know they'd sell in Green Bay. The Saints and 49ers feature a lot of gold, so why don't they try gold jersey options? Let teams control up to 3 primary pants and jerseys (home/away/alt). This covers the teams that have black and gray alternates and provides several mix-and-match combos. Then, you let Nike do ONE experimental uniform design just to try something new and see what it looks like. The only real design note would be: make something that does NOT exist in the team's primary options. Nike don't have to hit on all of these experiments. They just need to hit on a few options that reach "this should be a standard jersey" status to keep uniform designs fresh.

I love everything about the jets throwback jerseys, and the fact that they brought them back this year brought me to my knees by how clean they were

I can't wait to see the Texans redesigned uniforms next year.👍

The throwback revolution I think started in 2019 with the 49ers and their color rush whites which were a flip on their mid-late 90s dropshadow look

Among the good things about being a Steelers fan. Yinz say "remember the color rush", and we think "Yes. Our's was easily one of the best looks in the NFL."

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that good uniforms have one element that gives the team its identity and is simplistic everywhere else

Creamsicles are still my all time favorite unis. Love that the NFL has allowed teams more freedom on unis again of late especially for throwbacks

It's good that teams tried new stuff, but like you said, block numbers all the way. Just makes sense. Falcons with the old bird on the helmet is 100% the best NFL uniform imo

Rams Uniforms before the "Dark Age" Navy look in St. Louis, were Perfect! Those Royal Blue & Mustard Yellow Uniforms are A+... I hope we see the Rams go back to that look when their 5 Year Rebrand Window is over

Probably an unpopular opinion, but the Broncos redesigned uniforms are my FAVORITE uniforms

Dolphins need to bring back the dolphin with a helmet logo they used before the new one, I'm a huge fins fan and i think they logo they used before was one of the best in the NFL

I really enjoyed this video. Nailed all my thoughts on uniform design. Nice to see someone making content that really gets it, appreciating the great ones & not sugarcoating the worst.

I love the lighter colors they used on their older unis.

The stuff they’re saying about the slightest detail of a uniform having a crazy meaning is so funny 😂

Great video one of the most underrated creators on this platform for sure

This, good sir, is an instant classic video. Thank you!

I'm a sucker for the pre 95 era for sure. Although when I was younger the all black unis were my favorite. I blame growing up an Oregon Ducks fan lmao

A very cool video documenting the evolution or de-evolution in some people’s eyes of the NFL Uniforms.

Its been a long time my old friend. Were happy yo have you once again.

Fantastic video on the history of uniforms history

For years I've wanted the cardinals to do throwbacks uniforms. White jerseys with the state flag on the sleeve and red pants like they had in the 90s. Hopefully with the recent resurgence for nostalgic looks they will finally do it sometime soon.

You know it's gonna be a good week, when a new Set The Edge video drops!

God the Pats retro unis are so fucking pretty

This was a perfect video. I talk about NFL uniforms all the time on my channels and somehow even our opinions were aligned haha. Great job, earned a follow

Great video and love that you’re incorporating more and more humor into each video. I’ll say I have some unpopular opinions when it comes to jerseys as I like more modern jerseys, but I will say more brighter colors are better.

The Golden Era uniforms were the best in my honest opinion.

I really liked the navy and gold rams colors.

This video is awesome. Great job man! “Nike’s Hubris” is the best possible name for that era 😂

The fact that they felt the need to write "BROWNS" anywhere possible on the uniforms is still quite incredible to me. They really went out of their way to warn you that you're not watching the Bengals. Change station now, you have been warned.

Love when one of my favourite youtubers uploads right when I falling asleep! Oh well who needs sleeo anyway!

I was so happy when the Bucs got rid of the clock alarm uniforms and went back to the previous ones. Love the Creamsicles as well.

The throwbacks have been so good this year

the color rush jerseys were sick at least most of them

3.6 billion unifrom combinations for the oregon ducks is the most real thing I've ever heard pisses me off how they are always rocking some type of different combination instead of green and yellow lol

Loved this, best NFL content on YT💯

This video was just what I needed. Thanks.

The 49ers from the early 70s to 1995 were perfect, and I'm glad they came back in 2009.

The Atlanta throwbacks with the red helmets are 🔥

An NFL Fan since 1989. I'm a New York Giants Fan. The Uniforms over time have changed so dramatically. The Wild West of The NFL in the Late 80s, Early Mid to Late 90s. Reebok 2001 - 2011 were great as well. Nike 2012 - Current, Credible Jersey Quality. G III and Mitchell & Ness are Honorable Mentions.

I know nostalgia isn't motivating my love for the older uniforms because I'm only 21 and never saw these teams play in their classic uniforms. Just about every single team has a throwback uniform that's better than the ones they wear now. I only make exception for Tampa because as nice as the creamsicles are, I just like the red and pewter better. The alarm clock uniforms deserve to be burned, though. Also need to take this moment to say I hate the failed abortion that is the Rams' "classic tribute" uniform. The original yellow and blue was simply beautiful and I loved seeing them wearing it as their home uniform in 2018. They somehow managed to make it butt ugly with the redesign.

This was fantastic

as a chargers fan i have always been grateful for our uniforms

Just came from half time teir list and i just realized i could watch you make a tier list about anyrhing your so funny!

We are so back

Here's my uniform take: A gradient colour design on the jersey is fine, just as long as the numbers are one solid colour. Jersey numbers with gradient colours are unnecessarily difficult to read on TV.

I only ask for three things in regards to uniforms: 1) Chargers go back to dark blue as their primary, especially the helmets. In a similar vein, Bills should wear red helmets again. 2) Rams and Giants go back to 80s throwbacks. They just feel right. 3) Jaguars get back their 2000s number font, cuz them with blocky numbers ain't it.

That “hydrated better” pee joke was genius😂

Thanks for covering this topic...

As a Seahawks fan, I know all of us want to go back to our throwback colors. The Navy/Neon worked well for it's time, and I still like them but neon is outdated and the modern-classic is in. I don't necessarily want the exact throwback design but at least the colors. For the last 2 years or so, I've only bought throwback merch of theirs because it just looks so much better to wear in today's fashion.

Loved this, history with a hint of comedy lol

I’m so glad you used this jersey for the thumbnail legit such a great jersey

Those early logos are awesome especially the 49ers and the Chiefs.

Edge you have the best content. I NEED MORE

DUDE I LOVED THE COLOR RUSH UNI'S

Great video. I was thinking for the SeaHawks - put the Original colors with the new " meaner " looking SeaHawk together.

As I uniform historian, Sandknit now Rippon who still make uniforms today in their Berlin, Wisconsin factory used to make the uniforms for many teams. During the 90s when manufacturers logos started to pop up like Adidas and Nike, they were made side by side in the same factory in Berlin, WI. Good ole advertising

My respect is to the teams that just "nah". RAIDERS WILL NEVER CHANGE.

Thanks for leaving the sponsorship at the end 👍

I feel like one of the few people that really liked the 2000s Rams unis.

I can't get away from that damn namath commercial. Its everywhere lol

my favorite uniforms are the cowboys thanksgiving uniforms oh my God those are so pretty it’s like the perfect navy blue with the white and the nice gray facemask It looks perfect to me

Babe wake up, a new Set The Edge video just dropped

Been saying it for awhile, but the Niners current throwbacks should be their permanent look. I'm okay with the white pants because the Red/White/Black combo looks so damn clean. Add the gold helmet for that pop of color and that's a wrap. Just look at the Thanksgiving Day game against the Seahawks. It wasn't even close who looked better on the field.

The Seahawks throwbacks you had on your initial video with DK Metcalf I have to admit are pretty fire. I don't think the original ones look nearly as good as the throwbacks today because these are properly using the vibrant color scheme NFL teams seem to enjoy nowadays. I would easily take them over the full green units they use every year it seems?

jumped out of my seat when I heard thundercat! valid ‼️

I like that you used the song Raid by Madvillain as background music. I barely noticed it but a nice touch regardless.

“Browns down the legs” is hilarious! 😂

Thanks for the shout out to Uni Watch and the Gridiron Uniform Database (of which I am one of the NFL and USFL Field Graphic designers!) :-) Not to mention helping with our own spring simulation league. The GSL! :-)

This video was so good!!!!!

Well done clip. I enjoyed it thanks. Not a Chargers or Bengals fan but you, like them, nailed it. Classic jerseys are always just better I guess. Look at the Chiefs, Raiders, Steelers, Packers, Vikings, 49ers (not the black), Bears (not orange, it belongs to Tampa & Denver) but you get my drift. Bringing in the second shell and not being lazy was a smart move for the league. Eagles, Buccaneers, Falcons, & Texans we're looking at you. Colts & Cardinals not so much.

eagles kelly green baby blue oilers and seattles throwbacks are elite

As a Seahawks fan, I want them to wear the throwbacks permanently

hot take: I didn’t mind the Bucs didgital numbers and their color rush for those digital numbers were beautiful

Great videos man!

7:21 Funny story about those socks-those were intended for basketball. Football had their own design in the form of a V shaped pattern on the back, which I always loved (and still have!). That said, both designs are iconic to the era.

The browns “undo” uniforms are some of the cleanest around

You said it perfectly 🔥

I like the new Cardinals all white uniforms. It reminds me of my early days as a fan during the mid 70's and the Cardiac Cards. The all white unis of the time were fresh and these harken back to that. The all red, not so much. And don't get me started on the all black uniforms.

The 49ers 94 white throw backs are so damn clean.

Such a good video, nice research and entertaining presentation good job!
