I never thought to look at Jerseys from a graphic design point a view. I definitely see the trends and similarities.
Jersey’s make or break how a team plays. That’s why they are all the same color to bring that sense of unity and oneness. Just think of a viking with horns on his helmet and the likes. How scary would that have been to face. It really speaks for itself.
