24. Detriot Lions

There’s a lot to be said for getting the shade of a color right. This is one the Lions have missed on for years.  Pairing with a dull gray does nothing to help out that near baby blue color on the rest of the uniform.

23. Carolina Panthers

We all know that Cam Newton‘s fashion sense is questionable at best, but he didn’t design these uniforms.  And unless your name is Bret the Hitman Hart, there are some colors that don’t really belong in a violent man’s sport.  Yet the Panthers choose to exude this color which does nothing to strike fear into the hearts of their opponents.

22. Tennessee Titans

I know, I know, the Titans are getting new uniforms this year, and they are a sight better than these baby blues, but to be fair, all uniforms in this list were worn during the 2017 season.  And these uniforms…well, let’s just say that there’s a reason the team is getting new uniforms.  Good riddance to these old ones.

21. Arizona Cardinals

Now here is an example of taking a red and white color scheme and doing something somewhat interesting with it.  Still, it looks like a college team uniform, not a professional team.  But the red doesn’t make you want to put on sunglasses.

20. New York Giants

You could make the case that the simple, classic nature of the Giants uniforms should move them higher in the list, but a monotone jersey doesn’t say classic, it says boring.  Iron on numbers, although easy to read, don’t scream awesome.  This is not so much a uniform for Giants as much as for Lilliputians.

19. Washington Redskins

Say what you will about the team mascot, but the uniforms for Washington hit for me.  The color scheme makes sense, they complement each other, the highlights don’t detract from the base color.  Still, maroon and bright yellow, while looking good together, tend to get overwhelming on 53 players and a stadium full of fans.

18. LA Chargers

I gotta admit, I really like the color scheme here.  They go well together and I really like the darker toned blue.  But those helmets look like they were using leftover decals from my son’s Lego set.  If that wasn’t enough, they incorporated it into the jersey and the pants too.  In the end, this uniform leaves me with a slight tingle than a bolt of electricity.

17. Atlanta Falcons

It pains me to have an NFC Division rival anywhere higher than 20 on this list, so I’ll have to settle for being in the bottom half.  The Falcons uniforms bring a modernity to their design not previously seen in this list.  I especially like all the green they’ve been adding to the color scheme.
