It was fun the first few games, but let's get back to our classic road look. I disagree, the blue pants are vibrant and look really nice. The socks however, are a sin.

I think they should wear their gray pants for one game as the road uniform kinda like how they did all blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 16 hours ago, Sec19Row53 said: their, not they are - sorry, I can't get past that. No, the regular number fonts aren't illegible. I'll paint with a broad brush - many color rush jerseys have colored numbers on colored jerseys. That combination is horrible for viewing by broadcasters and fans. By using a standard block font rather than anything else, you make the numbers as legible as possible. For normal jerseys, the contrast between number and jersey is greater, which allows for custom number fonts to be used and still be legible, relatively speaking. Certain numbers on certain fonts (hello, Philadelphia) are just flat out tough. yeah it's tough to tell 6, 8, 9, and sometimes even 0 apart on the Eagles jerseys - especially when the jerseys are taped to the shoulderpads and the middle bar of the 6 8 or 9 isn't too visible.

gothedistance Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The gray pants would've made the matchup look great. Dallas should never break away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking about when both teams used their third jersey other than a Thanksgiving or anniversary game. But those were on thanksgiving, which is like throwback thursday for the uniform geeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue pants also don't work in all instances. I'd much rather see the "classic look" for NFC North away games, among others.

The Patriots wore the red throwbacks against the Vikings that year as well. Detroit wore the then throwbacks in a game against the Jaguars in 2008, that game wasn't a Thanksgiving game. After 2004, the throwback Thursday wasn't so common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
