Madden 09 uniform errors list
by 
A while back I took down some notes on uniform errors that had been seen in the screenshots and videos for Madden 09. One of them was the Cowboys’ helmet star which was far too large. Producer Ian Cummings has released a screen demonstrating that this has been fixed which can be compared to a previous Felix Jones screenshot.
In my interview with Peter Moore I brought up the issue of uniform inaccuracies and he stated that it would be a topic they would address. Since then we’ve learned that instead of using the NFL provided style guide they are reviewing the uniforms that have been worn by the teams in video to make sure they match correctly. That has shown to be a positive development as many teams that have been plagued by wrong uniform combinations over the years have been seen as finally correct in media that has been displayed.
Currently the list of uniform errors that I have noted for EA consists of: Ravens need black shoes, Chiefs need AFL patch and numbers on jersey sleeves instead of the shoulders, Steelers helmet should have single digit number on the yellow stripe instead of off to the side of it, and some Seahawks players wear neon green gloves or shoes (pipe dream that’ll be in though).
Feel free to add anything you’ve noticed that isn’t right or that has been incorrect over the years and I’ll include them in the list to pass along as well as check on next week.

One last thing, are there any teams that will have uniform or helmet design changes in 2009? Usually one team will alter their uniforms a tad.
Hopefully, Seattle will go back to its original color scheme….The Seahawks are my team but they have the worst uniforms in the NFL. My top five worst:
1) Seattle — The lime green looks horrid
2) Philadelphia — Another team that needs to go back to its previous iterations — the green helmets with the silver wing
3) Chargers — Should stick with the powder blues, hate the navy pants…The white helmets look better with the powder blues
4)

[quote comment="22053"]I noticed the Seattle Seahawks’ throwbacks had these errors:
1) Logo on helmet did not stretch behind the helmet
2) Logo on helmet — top stripe should be blue and bottom stripe green….Game had bottom stripe as transparent…LOOKED HORRIBLE!!!!
Also, I would like to see the 80’s Seahawks uniforms where teh Seahawk logo is on the sleeves. Although I like the originals, the 80s uniforms were the best.
Also, I would like to see EA go the way of 2K and add uniforms that weren’t worn. 2K had Dolphins’ navy blues, Vikings yellows, etc….
Also, Detroit Lions 1980 home uniforms had silver numbers with white outline, some of the best uniforms ever…[/quote]
Acutually the Niners are changing their uniforms for 2009, there going to implement the colors of the 80’s but with a new style of today’s uniforms, hopefully they look good because i would be more than happy if they just kept the Super Bowl winning uniforms from the 80’s

There needs to be more color options for gloves, wristbands, and sleeves for various NFL teams.
Giants- need red gloves, they also wear red longsleeves and halfsleeves when they wear their alternate uni.
Falcons- need red gloves
Patriots- need red gloves
Broncos- need orange gloves
Dolphins- need orange gloves
Redskins- yellow gloves
These are just a few off the top of the dome.
It would also be nice if they added more styles of gloves.
They release new designs each year and it would be awesome
to have access to those designs.

Although I wouldn’t normally try to correct every miniscule detail concerning unis, I know that it would be cool to see Deion Branch or another Seahawk wearing neon lime green gloves. That would be fun.

I liked the Niners unis from the 80s as well. Hated when they added black and the metallic gold pants…Yuck.
May 26, 2008 at 11:51 am
By the way, I was wrong about the Seahawks’ classic helmets. The error in the helmets was not in the stripes but in the beak. The beak and trim within the logo should be white, not transparent.
Either way, the helmets looked like poop…
May 26, 2008 at 11:53 am
Another fellow Seahawks fan and I have to disagree about the 80’s uniforms…I thought tose old uni’s were putrid and some of the worst in the league.
On the contrary, I think the new dark mettallic blue’s (the current home uni’s) are some of the better, more unique ones in the league.
I wouldn’t mind them adding silver pants back to the away uni’s on occasion. That would be pretty cool.
Maybe they will decide to do the Lime Green alternate jerseys that were rumored (and a few showed up at games). Use those with the silver pants and it would be an interesting look.
I agree, seeing Deion Branch in the lime green gloves would be pretty sweet!

me personally i think its rather embarassing that EA has to consult normal people about stuff they should do..but this is reality…so nothing is trivial hit this thing up and think of this as an opprotunity to get everything right while you can..
May 26, 2008 at 12:12 pm
EA should post clear photos of all the uniforms so the community can have a look before the game is released.
May 26, 2008 at 1:01 pm
I hope they can fix the redskins uniform.. Oh and Clinton Portis rocks the yellow shoes. http://s185.photobucket.com/albums/x177/Redskins913/?action=view¤t=clintonportis.jpg

I agree. Especially when there is this little thing called THE INTERNET!!! Maybe EA doesn’t have access to GOOGLE!

You are one of many who like Seattle’s upgraded threads. I like the helmet but I am not a fan of that shade of blue. I would have rather they upgraded using the original colors.
I liked the silver helmet from the 80s – 90s. That was unique in that it did not have a stripe down the middle and how the logo stretched behind the helmet.
The jerseys, although a bit plain, were sweet especially the whites. The Seahawk logo wrapping all around the sleeve was awesome.
The new uniforms haven’t diminished my passion for the Hawks but I hate when teams change the color scheme. Philly is another team that uses an horrible shade (that green is brutal).
I would like to see Seattle add Emerald green and replace the lime. As long as they veer away from a lime green alternate, we are all safe….GO HAWKS!!
May 26, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Might I add that the screen shot showing the Cowboys helmets linked with this topic looks really good. The jerseys look practically authentic…
May 26, 2008 at 5:00 pm
also pasta add this..the browns away uniform socks are too big..they need to be smaller shown here is the madden version
http://www.operationsports.com/forums/attachments/madden-nfl-football/9037d1211840676-i-need-help-uniforms-browniesnow.jpg
and here is the RL version http://www.operationsports.com/forums/attachments/madden-nfl-football/9038d1211840682-i-need-help-uniforms-brownies.jpg
and to include the clevland browns have a solid brown socks as well on their away uniform..pasta there needs to be two of these uniforms..ones with the stripes and one with the solid browns..
and to include the colts have SOLID BLUE SOCKS AWAY AND HOME.
and all of the browns unis stuff is courtesy of blackngoldfan

Judging by the new Bills vs. Browns screens, Ralph Wilson Stadium’s new HD screen and LCD ribbon (which were both installed before LAST season) haven’t made it into the game yet. I hope the screens are from an early build.

The Bears NEED WHITE PANT/JERSY and BLUE PANT JERSY ALTERNATES
August 15, 2008 at 12:43 pm
The Jets need their Titans throwback jersey as an option
August 19, 2008 at 8:29 am
The Cowboy’s classic white jersey still has the wrong helmet. It has the silver one instead of the white one. It wouldn’t be a big deal to me except the guys on the sidelines have the right helmets.
August 20, 2008 at 8:49 am
i miss the madden tats
August 30, 2008 at 8:56 pm
y isnt brett farve in the jets or packers dats gay man
October 7, 2008 at 8:34 pm
the saints dont have their uniforms where they have the white jerseys with the black pants like they had monday night against minnesota. they only have the white uniforms with gold pants. yet another uniform error
October 8, 2008 at 11:41 pm
SOME OF THE TITANS WEAR LIGHT BLUE GLOVES BUT ALOT WEAR RED GLOVES THATS THERE DEFENSES TRADE MARK AND I THINK U SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE KYLE VANDEN BOSCH HAVE RED CONTACTS CAUSE HE WEARS THEM IN THE GAME
October 8, 2008 at 11:42 pm
OH YEAH AND I THINK U SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE SPAT WRAPS NOT JUST TAPE CAUSE ALOT OF PLAYERS WEAR THEM
November 9, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Chicago Bears team color = Orange
November 27, 2008 at 3:55 am
The chiefs are missing their white on white uni's which they actually wear from time to time, but they never wear their red on red jerseys and EA has those uni's on the game. The broncos also do not have their blue on blue uniforms.
December 21, 2008 at 10:32 am
There should be a throwback steelers uniform ( from the 70's ) and also I noticed that the lettering on the steelers uniforms are too small.
December 21, 2008 at 10:34 am
Why is it that on ncaa football 09 you can use the dna helmet style but not on madden? ladanian tomlinson uses one.
January 28, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Madden 09 also dose not have the new ION 4D football helmet/facemask. The FB for the washington redskins has one in real life. And half the players at Penn State use it.
January 28, 2009 at 9:50 pm
In Madden 09 for the Xbox u should be able to give the players the lip guard mouth peace. Because I know guys like Chris Johnson have one in every game. I know they have them in the maddens for the PSP and the PS2 but why not the Xbox 360.
January 28, 2009 at 10:04 pm
In Madden 09 they are missing some of the right facemask for the Revolution Helmet. There should be two types of revo robot face mast. Just look at the face mask danieal manning of the chicago bears weirs in real life, they dont have it in the game.
March 20, 2009 at 8:12 pm
The Miami dolphins wear orange gloves in the NFL.
In Madden they wear aqua gloves and it looks stupid.
July 10, 2009 at 8:08 am
you dont have new orleans saints gold on black jerseys
July 11, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I wonder if theyll ever get the COWBOYS NAMEPLATE on the back of the jersey correct. They've only had like 20 years to do this!!!!!!!
July 13, 2009 at 11:00 pm
The saints have four differant uniforms the black on black,the black on gold,the white on gold and the white on black
August 28, 2009 at 8:53 pm
There's a image in the web which shows the dolphins doin the wildcat thing. If you pay attention to their helmet's logo, you´ll notice that the sun in the dolphin's background is way too big! but since they wore a big sun with their before 97 logo it doesn't look that bad, it's simply…unaccurate.
August 28, 2009 at 9:00 pm
I do agree with that STEPH. Gameplay is important, but I don´t know if you have noticed yet…This forum is about Madden 10 mistaken unis. Li'l detail. Once said so. It should been nice if the game had all retro unis which are going to wear the teams which celebrate the AFL's 50 aniversary.
Titans are going to wear Houston Oiler's uniform with the blue helmet, SD Chargers are going to wear the white retro 60's jersey…
