That's so funny, a few years ago (2012 I believe?) NFL.com had a FAN based voting of the best uniforms of all time, and the Ravens were in the final Four (http://www.nfl.com/greatestuni/round5). We even beat Pittsburg's UNIs head to head in round 3 (http://www.nfl.com/greatestuni/round3). Ironically enough it was spearheaded by Dave Damesheck. So this other guy doesn't like our pants not having stripes? Look at the pictures he references, some do. That's because our ALTERNATE uniforms do not have stripes on the pants. And we have had numerous combinations of white socks, black socks, with stripes, without stripes in the past. I personally love the cool Ravens shield with the heraldic banner of George Calvert, Lord Baltimore. The Small Ravens logo in front is nice. Our number font is one of the coolest out there. I also Liked the black "Polo collar" they had in 2012. All in all, for a new uniform when speaking holistically about the NFL, it feels original.
