... Gone are the variations (black on black, white on white), the Jags will be playing in teal on white or white on black uniforms.  The helmet's reminiscent of a bass boat, sparkling and appearing to change colors under different lights.

However, the changes are not all cosmetic.  A few major things happened under the hood as well. 

Most significantly, career Jag and future Hall of Famer, Fred Taylor has been released. 

Taylor, a team captain, saw reduced action last season as the team moved forward with current running back, Maurice Jones–Drew.

The ramifications of this move will be present from the start.  The 5' 7" Jones–Drew will be given "feature back" status, a rarity in the current tandem–friendly NFL. 

However, Jones–Drew will not shoulder all of the rushing responsibilities.  Head coach Jack Del Rio envisions FB Greg Jones carrying the ball in an increased capacity.  A Bleacher Report - NFL
