gothedistance Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Lets talk about this. Do you think NFL teams should have the choice to wear a uniform other than their main sets in the Super Bowl? How good would it be for a team to be allowed to wear an alternate or color rush uniform/jersey for the big game? There was a time when the home team had to wear their dark color for the Super Bowl but then it was changed. I think it would be cool to see teams with an outstanding third jersey wear them.

PaleVermilion81 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I feel like for the biggest game of the year, you have to wear your primary home or primary away look. Especially in a sport where there is only 1 game for the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc... Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 No. And no more of this semi-pro looking color on color crap. Keep it classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Lankford Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Depends on the team? If the Chargers or Titans made it, I'd absolutely be OK with them wearing light blue but less so with the 49ers and black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 No. If the alt is so much better than their standard set, then they should have switched it then. If the owner, team, whoever views a certain set worthy of their standard set then that is the one they go with. It's not for our enjoyment, it's the team who decides what. So no. Go A's!

OnWis97 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The Cavs and Cubs both won historic titles in alternate uniforms and (at least for us geeks) they mar the visuals.

TBGKon Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Playoffs should be alternate free, either primary home or away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raz Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The 49ers were allowed to wear their throwbacks for SB XXIX (and if the Cowboys had beaten them in the NFC Championship Game, I think they would have worn their Double Star fauxbacks, because they wore those against the Niners). But It hasn't become standard to allow the alternate, and I don't see it going that way. Matter of fact, I feel that, like the NBA has pretty much stepped away from Christmas uniforms, the NFL will let the Color Rush thing go away.

FinsUp1214 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 As much as I like some alternates, I feel if you give one team an inch, another could take a mile. Primaries are safest to keep the Super Bowl looking as best as it can in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 REMEMBER! there is no "primary uniform" .. there is only primary jerseys. You can wear any pants any time (and now you can even mix color rush pants into the rotation) So even if team must wear their primary color or white uniform, they can wear any pants they want.

Chawls Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 IDK about y’all, but I wouldn’t be upset if the Patriots decide to wear their Color Rush jersey with their silver pants in the Super Bowl.

hormone Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 My .02 says no. Why? Because, like mentioned, I’d rather see a titan or charger alt, but what you’d get is someone going color rush, someone going mono, or someone doing some sort of new combo for a big game. Obviously, the teams who have multiple opinions don’t leave these types of decisions to knowledgeable people like us, but rather to players or fans that use the term fire and prefer chrome helmets with a blurry chrome logo and the love of anthracite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Alternates should be allowed in the playoffs up until the Super Bowl. The teams should wear their Sunday bests for the big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimball Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'll take it a step further, if it works I'd love to see color vs. color ... This would of been an awesome match up last year.

flyersfan Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I think the super bowl no. But in baseball basketball and hockey where they are playing up to 7 games it’s nice to see something different than just the basics every night they play. The games start to blend together if it’s a specific uni matchup 4 times and another one (usually same uniforms but inverted colors) 3 times. It can be a little tough. I like the idea of that they are allowed to wear alts as long as they are in original team colors, no new logos, as in like let the warriors wear yellow for a game, but none of the fancy gimmick stuff with “the town” or Chinese New Year stuff. And I think there needs to be a rule that if the series could end, it has to be home and away because in future years, those are the games we remember the most, and seeing gimmick unis doesn’t sound good with that. Nobody in general remembers game 2s of the World Series, but you bet we remember game 7s. But for football where it’s one and done, I say they should not be allowed Alts, simply because some teams may go too far. I’m thinking about like 49ers black, Seahawks green, but it can be a beautiful thing too, with chargers light blue, jags teal, ravens color rush. Just remember these are some iconic colors and for a game we will watch in many years down the line. I said it above that if the game has the ability to eliminate a team, it should be home vs away because those are the games we remember. Nobody wants to look back and see the black 49ers, or the neon green Seahawks. We know those teams for their identities they have used for decades, not the fun uniform the team wore for 5 games. Although I’d love to see my jags in teal, the owners decided we were a black jersey team a while ago, and were stuck to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardsblues02 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 For me, depends on what team. I would be okay with the Titans, Chargers, Texans, Ravens wearing their alts. But other than that, NO. As for sports with playoff series, they should be allowed to wear alternates (unless they are the bull crap NBA city uniforms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 there's 2 different philosophies on this; do you 1.) wear what is most recognizable 2.) put on something special. i think better questions are how much does it matter? what are the lasting effects of either choice? what kind of "party" is the SB, and how should that determine how you dress?

Cosmic Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I generally agree that teams should be content with their home or road look, but I did think of two different approaches/levels to alts in the Super Bowl... - The most restrictive or special case would be if a team has already decided that it's going to switch full-time to a set based on their current alt for the next season. In a way, the alt might be more appropriate in that special context. - If you were going to allow alts other than in the situation above, I would only allow alts that are palate-swapped versions of the regular home/road uniform. The Broncos could wear either their navy or orange version of their current uniforms (I don't know if the navy is still officially an alt, but you get the idea), but the Bills couldn't wear their throwback unis. No helmet changes. No BFBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
