Wandell Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I hate to break this too you guys, but a lot of people consider the white cleats that everyone wore in the late 70's thru the 80's "old school"! I know it sux to get old, I'm about to be 50!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears looked fine in the '70s and '80s wearing white shoes. Prefer white shoes for football and basketball, and those seem mainstream at this point, unlike baseball.

But when you have a team that's worn essentially the same uniform since 1950, that's an easy call. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

AgentColon2 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I have my own parameters. All teams before 1960 are oldbies. 1960-1972 midbies. 1976 to present are noobies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article implies that he "will" but later suggests the NFL will not allow it. I have to think it'll be the latter.

Tracy Jordan Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Lions looked FANTASTIC at home tonight. I'm really loving the Barry Sanders era vibe I'm feeling from these unis. On the other side, the Jets' road unis looked solid with the new and improved shade of green, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate the yellow but miss the white jersey/maroon pants combo Do you mean you miss them wearing that combo at home? Because if you just mean you miss it in general, then I have to point out that they returned to it last season and wore it for every single road game... In fact, that photo is even from last season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a cheap and lazy criticism of things that really are the purview of a league (like uniform regulations). I generally agree although I do think the tinted-visor rule is out of place. On 8/15/2017 at 7:13 PM, the admiral said: Maybe indoor/carpet teams should wear white shoes too. But old-school black cleats feel right for historic franchises like the Bears, Packers, Giants, Steelers, Eagles, Cardinals, etc. I've never been a fan of teams without black in their color scheme having black anywhere in the uniform, and that includes cleats. Might be unpopular but I'd much rather teams like the Bears and Pack use white cleats.

Ark Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The Redskins should wear yellow pants at home and red pants on the road. That is the best combo for them. And that seems to be what they are doing so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The Redskins' gold pants have always made their uniforms look garish. They have enough gold with the burgundy pants sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I know the Texans have two fields (college/high school and Texans) but last night it looked like a new field with the numbers in the same font as their jerseys which is cool but the logo and endzones were painted?...I hope they are just doing this because Lsu byu play in a couple weeks and it isn't worth switching fields non stop does anyone have any info? I loved the field last year going back to blue endzones and the bigger logo all stitched in rather than painted and it all popped more than the other field that paint the stuff on.

Or i it just the lighting?

joey joe joe jr. shabadoo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Wouldn't mind seeing the Jets go with white or grey facemasks. I know during last years color rush win in Buffalo a lot of Jets fans were saying they liked the white facemask look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
