DeFrank Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Our long national nightmare is over. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2769835-thursday-night-football-color-rush-alternate-uniforms-reportedly-going-away Say goodbye to Color Rush uniforms on Thursday nights this coming fall. Bill Wanger of Fox Sports said Tuesday the NFL plans to scrap the alternate uniforms it used during Thursday Night Football telecasts beginning with the 2018 season, per Jason Barrett of Barrett Sports Media. However, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported the Color Rush uniforms won't be going away completely. They just "might not be exclusive to Thursday nights anymore," sources told him. This shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anyone. In December, the NFL said it was allowing teams to have "more flexibility" with their Thursday night uniforms, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, which effectively ended the Color Rush push. The polarizing Color Rush uniforms began rolling out in 2015. Some fans delighted in the alternate offerings, while others were put off by the bright colors. In one notable mishap, a Color Rush game between the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills proved to be a mess for those with red-green colorblindness. That should no longer be an issue now that Fox is taking over Thursday games. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrumptious Ham Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm open for anything that gives us uniform fodder at a small price. One game a week was a fine sacrifice. As a uniform enthusiasts, I'm sad to see this go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pressstart66 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 To be completely honest, some good designs have come from the color rush. I just hated how the entire uniform HAD to be the same color, i.e. Atlanta had a good red jersey, but the red pants RUINED the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky1324 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 While overall, the look wasn't great, some teams really had knockouts. The Panthers especially (Well, now that I think about it, it was really just the Panthers). I just hope this leads to a more creative ploy to get us to buy more jerseys. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 From the way the article reads, it seems like Color Rush Thursday is going away, but Color Rush will be invading Sundays. Maybe we'll get Color Rush v. regular white and not forcing teams to participate, but that might be asking too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Maybe color rush will take up one of the two alternate uniform games teams are allowed per season Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I would hope some teams take bits of color rush like ravens putting purple pants with white jerseys occasionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H11K Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 It was pretty good in theory, but very very mediocre in execution. Some teams have solid alternate jerseys from Color Rush and I hope they still use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
