Retired squid here....

I entered the 'canoe club' back at the end of 'nam  ('73) and retired shortly after 9/11. So I've seen seen uniform changes and what 'good' they do. In the end, the navy is identified by that classic 'cracker jack' uniform. Having a clear identity is very important... it tells everyone who you are and what you're about. Changing uniforms needlessly is a waste of money and endangers that 'identity' I just mentioned. The 'new' Jaguars? No one knows what the heck they are... except bad. I identify the new look with a really bad football team. Maybe we should go back to teal and black and try to regain some of that old 'swagger and toughness we 'were' known for.... I suspect the 'new' look is probably very popular in London....

 

Having said all this, I must also point something out... Of all the issues facing the Jaguars franchise, doesn't the look of the new helmet seem like a rather petty thing to be concerned about? I mean, really; the Jag's have got a heck of a lot bigger fish to worry about frying than the looks of the new helmet....imho.
