Pigskin12 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Wow 3rd time in 4 years the Bears chose to wear the throwbacks against the Packers and first time they've worn them on opening day. Those should look good against the 49ers though. Good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I hate the Bears alternates. I don't get why people, especially Bears fans, like those so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirwuf Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I hate the Bears alternates. I don't get why people, especially Bears fans, like those so much.Because they feel very 1930's-40's but are still recognizably and undeniably the Bears, unlike some alts (Packers, Jets) where you don't know what team you're watching.

hawk36 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Just came thru, Bears 2015 uni schedule...http://www.chicagobears.com/gameday/uniform_schedule.htmlI love the alt. Something about the lack of white on the jersey makes it look tough, old, cool. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigskin12 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Looks like one of the Chargers powder blue games will be Monday night against Pittsburgh. Last year, the player on the game ticket was wearing the jersey the team would be wearing and the powder blue is shown on the PIT ticket this year.

I thought that game was going to be powder blue because it's a primetime game and the Chargers are honoring Ladainian Tomlinson.I want to guess the other powder blue game is against the Bears but I have some doubt because the only time San Diego wore the modern powder blue against an NFC team was against San Francisco.

gothedistance Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Wow 3rd time in 4 years the Bears chose to wear the throwbacks against the PackersThis was common with other teams.The Steelers used to almost always wear the throwbacks with yellow helmets against the Ravens. The Chargers used to always wear powder blue against the Raiders. The Texans used to always wear red against the Jaguars. The Giants always wore red against the Cowboys. The Falcons almost always wore throwbacks against the Panthers. The Vikings used to always wear throwbacks against the Packers and Bears.The Titans used to always wear columbia blue against the Texans. And speaking of that, I wonder if that will be the case again now that Tennessee has made navy their main color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Bolton Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Just came thru, Bears 2015 uni schedule...http://www.chicagobears.com/gameday/uniform_schedule.html It's a shame the Bears are once again avoiding the white jersey/white pants combo. Still, this will be one of the rare instances in the modern NFL where a team gets to stick to the convention of color at home, white on the road, for every single game.

They never seem to wear them against teams with lots of navy, so there ends up being too much navy in those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTnSocal Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 "canzman"Panthers @ BillsCanzman ..... The Bills traditionally wear royal blue jerseys at home during the preseason.Has this all-white been verified, or are you just going on a hunch?

THIS is what they should be wearing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I enjoy seeing teams wear the visiting white jersey/colored pants a lot except for when they wear the "leotard" look, yes I am looking at you Ravens and Saints.

hawk36 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 No those are the correct socks, they match the sleeve stripes.To me the matching is invalidated by the pants stripe being inconsistent with the sleeve. Dark socks look much better. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTnSocal Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 https://twitter.com/panthers/status/624643419491692544Panthers home jersey schedule. No blue at home this year, so we'll probably see it Week 1 and 4, at Jacksonville and Tampa Bay respectively.Yep: https://twitter.com/panthers/status/627163076643700736We even get the blue on Thanksgiving!.That has Carolina wearing their alternates for 3 games (all on the road), yet the NFL rule has always limited teams to wearing throwbacks/alternates 2 times a season.So what gives??

Dark socks look much better.Agreed. Matching the sleeve stripes and socks stripes is nice, but not when it means there's no contrast between the pants and socks. This to me is no different than the leotard look everyone hates so much with dark on dark... its a white leotard. Still doesn't say "NFL". http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
