It’s totally just innocent motivation for the guys that were still playing, but kinda sucks for Wentz since his ring literally points out that he wasn’t playing Ummmmm..."We all we got" was the team motto going back to their August 10th pre-season game against the Packers.

crosfam Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Yes - not really original enough to be memorialized on a ring - that is already quite busy. I love the inside dog imprint though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the “ummmmm” - I appreciate the pause before correcting me. If thats the case then its its pretty dumb to put on the ring. The first I heard it was when Malcom Jenkins was doing a locker speech either immediately after wentz got hurt or the following week. Otherwise it’s too generic to have enough meaning to memorialize.

My point isn't the color combo itself, it's the uniqueness of the combo of this specific set: navy helmet, orange jersey, white pants, navy socks. Thus, even though the Bears are using their historic colors, the way they use it with the orange jersey looks more Broncos than Bears.

Old School Fool Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I was watching a video of Madden 19 and I realized that the Jaguars basically have the worst socks ever. i understand they wanted it to go with the pants but the problem is that players wear their socks differently, so the intended effect they are going for may or may not look right depending on the player.

Neither of those elements bring anything whatsoever to the table.. The pants stripe thingy is hardly noticeable and puzzling when noticed.. And the socks stripe just looks awkwardly stretched.. I can respect the simplicity of the uniforms, but I think they still tried to get cute with a couple things.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Well it looks like we may just have to rip up our previous understanding of the NFL uniform rules. Sounds like in addition to primary uniforms, clubs may now have both alternates and throwbacks. Straight from the Bears: https://www.chicagobears.com/news/bears-unveil-orange-nike-jerseys Quote For the first time, the NFL is allowing teams to wear alternate jerseys in addition to a classic jersey that was formerly described as a throwback. The Bears will again wear their 1940s-era classic uniform in a game that has yet to be determined. “Before it was a tough choice because it was either the alternate orange jersey or the classic jersey,” McCaskey said. “This year we’re really excited that they’re going to allow us to wear both in the same season.” This brings up a lot of thoughts. How does Color Rush play into this? Could a team have 5 uniforms? It appears like the Bears are using their orange alternates and the throwbacks as normal uniforms with contrasting pants, rather than monochrome. It seems like both are outside the normal Color Rush rules. On the other hand, Chicago might not be the best team to make an interpretation of the rule since they wear mono navy (uniform pieces already in their wardrobe) for their Color Rush. Where teams could be limited is the one helmet rule, preventing some from being able to take advantage of the 5 uniforms, if that is a thing. Take the Chargers for example- they’re the first team I could think of that currently have four uniforms and could do a throwback with the one helmet rule. They could hypothetically have navy blue (home), white (road), powder blue (alternate), royal (their current Color Rush), and now reintroduce their classic powder blues.

They could hypothetically have navy blue (home), white (road), powder blue (alternate), royal (their current Color Rush), and now reintroduce their classic powder blues. I would imagine this new rule change is in lieu of color rush.. With the program officially ending, it allows teams to keep their color rush jersey if they choose (perhaps it was popular among fans, maybe a test of a potential rebrand or at least jersey change, etc).. I actually like the new rule with a couple caveats. - I would still cap the number of times a non-primary look can be worn at home at 2.. - I would like a max of 1 road non-primary look - I would urge teams to attempt to design one of their non-primary jerseys with the ability to wear it on the road (example: Miami could have aqua home, white road, orange alt, white throwback similar to current aqua throwback... Or LA Rams could have white and navy primaries, Royal throwback, yellow alt which could be worn on the road, especially at Oakland or Seattle).. This would help limit the jerseys to 4, while still allowing some fun and marketing etc.. - I wouldn't want to see 5 jerseys in rotation UNLESS they limited it to 1 game in home alt jersey, 1 game in home throwback jersey, 1 game in road alt or throwback.. We've allowed teams 2 games in alts or throwbacks, plus color rush, so this wouldn't be much of a departure from that, except the teams would look much better..

BrandMooreArt Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 to the best of my knowledge, this rule stems from the failed Color Rush initiative. there are some teams who want to keep wearing their CR uniforms but because its no longer a requirement, the NFL has opened it up as an option. teams will have their home, away, alternate, and throwback jersey option for the season. if im not mistaken, teams can wear the alternate and throwback twice each. and as the 100th season approaches, this could also be a preview of what is to come, but that's only a guess.

djam2410 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 From a branding perspective, this allows teams to sell four "new" jerseys now (They already sold throwbacks but now this allows them to get it on the newest template if a team does have a throwback) which should = more $$$ for the league The only thing I wonder if they will eventually cave and implement is allowing an alternate helmet again for a maximum of 2 games. I'm sure they would try and restrict this to being worn with the throwback only. I can't imagine them allowing an alternate helmet for a 3rd jersey or to pair with the home jersey Cal Bears | Miami Dolphins | Cleveland Cavaliers |@dcjames5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking for a while that the NFL will want to do some sort of uniform promotion for the 100th season. I'm just wondering what (if anything) they'll do about the one-helmet rule. I'd imagine lots of teams will want to wear classic uniforms but won't be able to because of that rule. Atlanta, Denver, Indianapolis, New England, New York (Jets), Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Seattle, Tampa Bay, Tennessee, and Washington could all potentially have to significantly modify classic uniforms in order to wear with their current helmets.
