Why not go with an all burgundy or white look if they were that opposed t it? Eagles, Chiefs, 49ers, Titans, and Bears all used existing jerseys/pants. It's a bit of a head-scratcher as to why the Redskins made the choice they did. GAH NO. Do you remember the last time they did the all burgundy look? It was awful then and it is still awful now. Go either all white, the gold look or that long-rumoured all black uniform (which would look even worse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenTino Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm a little surprised the Browns would come out and say this already, but yeah, I don't think anyone in Cleveland would complain if this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like someone jn their front office just got a memo and said, "Wait, we actually have to WEAR these? Like, in an actual game??" What exactly constitutes a "better color rush uniform"?

Gothamite Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Never took the opportunity to wear it. Because they didn't want to. And now they want the right to opt out entirely and not go through the farce of unveiling and promoting a uniform they have no intention of ever wearing. Commendable, really. And I don't think I've said that about Washington since Riggins was on their roster. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

BBTV Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Wow - Eagles owner confirms for first time that they intend to go back to Kelly green, but he wants to test it 2-3 times in a season first and will continue to petition the league to alter the helmet rule. Also stated That that the league prohibits helmet wraps so that's not an option.

Chico Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'd rather see the Jets go back to kelly green before the Eagles.

tulanebc Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Is it too much to ask to go back to these permanently? Please? And while your at it Nike, think you've got the time to match up the damn gold on the helmet and jerseys and not use that "generic slacks beige" you insist on using? Thxbye. P.S. Can someone use this pic to render what the jersey would look like in black? Kthanx. If you inherit Randy Johnson's facial genes, he owes you $97,000 at the very least.

There has to be a way around it.. Such as using oversized decals with extra "border" the color of the desired shell color, along with extra border on striping decals, etc..

There is absolutely no measurable or controllable variable in having 2 helmets vs one. Let's examine the alternative from a process perspective. Scenario 1: 1 helmet for the season Equipment makes annual purchase Preseason prep and conditioning is done Players are fit at OTA/camp Players break in helmets at camp Helmets maintained for 20 games pre+regular End of season conditioning and storage Repeat for next season. Scenario 2: 2 helmets for the season Equipment makes annual purchase for 2x the quantity Preseason prep and conditioning is done for 2 sets Players are fit for 2 helmets at OTA/camp Players break in 2 sets of helmets at camp Primary helmets maintained for 18 games pre+regular Alternate helmets maintained for 2 games regular End of season conditioning and storage Repeat for next season. Once games start, there is zero net burden on a week to week basis. The only real burden is the fitting during camp and storage of an extra set. If teams are willing to commit to spending a negligible time in the offseason and camp to get the players in an extra helmet, they should be able to. The safety aspect is a complete falsehood and red herring. If a player is fit properly and the helmet goes through proper maintenance, all the other variables are uncontrollable. I would say there's significantly more effort and risk disrupting the proper fit by changing masks since often times padding has to be removed thus disrupting the fit. There is simply no reason other than BS optics to make the league look engaged in safety. Padding isn't affected whatsoever during a mask change.. All hardware is accessed from the outside of the the shell, while the padding is obviously located inside the shell.. You can even cut change a mask while the helmet is still on the player's head (although it would be slightly less convenient) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see the Eagles since they muddy the look with black and charcoal. The Jets should work with dark green and white...Nike seems to be messing it up. I suspect the Eagles will always use black. Therefore, a lighter green is much better. If it were up to me the Eagles would base it on 1980...No black. Kelly and gray/silver is a great look. They would, of course, not go to the huge and strange stripe pattern on the sleeves...but shrink and simplify that and they are gold. Either way this should be an improvement.

upperV03 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 From the teaser of the new Lions uniforms it looks like we may have confirmation that the Vapor Untouchable template will have widespread use starting this season. Hopefully that's the case, or at the very least hopefully all teams were given the option to switch over. No more of the ridiculously thick collars and the toilet bowl collars would be a welcome sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
