For the most part football fans don’t notice NFL uniforms unless they’re bad. This is a testament to how conditioned we’ve gotten to good aesthetics on the gridiron.
The advent of Color Rush kits, a brilliant ploy from league executives to distract fans from garbage matchups on Thursday nights with even worse clothing, has pressed this issue a bit in recent years. That, on top of rebranding pitches and of-the-time redesigns mean some teams have turned away from their best looks on Sunday.
But what are those best looks? Well, that’s a subjective question with a bunch of different answers. Some teams found their groove in the 1960s and it worked so well they’ve done nothing but slight variations since.

But almost every team has one uniform that rises above the fray as the franchise’s best.
