  1. We've been robbed of Rodgers vs Mahomes. Something about the timing of A-Rod's report of being unvaccinated doesn't seem right. There are people out there who have an agenda.
  2. Why does the thread have to be about one person's picks? Can we have a thread that isn't just pointing to one person's pick of bests and worsts? Because that was no fun. Have the thread be for everyone. There is no point if the person who starts the threads shows off their bests and worsts and having people comment on them, but don't look at others users' bests and worsts and do likewise. It's fun when the thread is for everybody, and that users can say to each other what they don't like about their lists or agree about, and it be made known that this is all fair game.
  3. It's great seeing how good the Chargers are doing after so many years of failure and incompetence.
  4. The most WAH (white at home) games in a week are 9 games. They have been done 3 times in league history. 1980 week 2 Jets at Bills Falcons at Patriots Seahawks at Chiefs Steelers at Colts Cowboys at Broncos Raiders at Chargers Bengals at Dolphins Washington Football Team at New York Giants Oilers at Browns 2002 week 1 Cardinals at Washington Football Team Ravens at Panthers Lions at Dolphins Colts at Jaguars Chiefs at Browns Eagles at Titans Chargers at Bengals Saints at Buccaneers Cowboys at Texans 2021 week 1 Cowboys at Buccaneers Jaguars at Texans Jets at Panthers Vikings at Bengals Cardinals at Titans Steelers at Bills Eagles at Falcons Packers at Saints (in Jacksonville) Bears at Rams Second most WAH games in a week, 8, in the 1981 season. 1981 week 1 Saints at Falcons Seahawks at Bengals Colts at Patriots Dolphins at Cardinals Cowboys at Washington Football Team Oilers at Rams Jets at Bills Chargers at Browns 7 and 6 WAH games in a week or less have happened many times.
  5. Not that I can see. They haven't worn the Dallas Texans throwback other than the 2009 season. The gray facemask KC wore against the Vikings in 2019 is only one part of an older style of uniform, but not the whole thing. The Chiefs have not worn a third jersey outside of games that have something that is a league promotion. Even if you count the NFL Color Rush that the league mandated for a couple years, this is the case.
  6. The color purple was perfect for Utah. I don't think the other colors match the place.
  7. Why do they have an orange or green color? It doesn't make sense. The purple color did.
  8. Something that hasn't happened since 2002. https://brobible.com/sports/article/white-cornerback-troy-apke-washington-nfl/
  9. This is a thread for the purpose of what the title says, interesting facts. Facts that are well known or not as known. Everything related to uniforms/jerseys in the NFL. I'll start things off. 6 teams do not retire jersey numbers; The Cowboys, Falcons, Jaguars, Raiders, Ravens, and Texans. The Ravens haven't retired a number even though Ray Lewis and Ed Reed have made the HOF. The Jaguars seem to be waiting on Tony Boselli to make the HOF. This year, 2021, the Giants will retire Eli Manning's number, 10. The Chicago Bears and New York Giants have the most retired numbers of all teams, with 14 numbers each. With the Packers having an all green throwback, they join many teams who have worn a monochrome color look. Green Bay hasn't worn all solid colors since the 1950s. The Eagles were the first team to wear monochrome colors, all green, in the Super Bowl era, during the 1997 season. In 2001 the Saints wore all black. Then in 2002 the mono-colors became a trend. 3 teams have not done monochrome colors; the Cowboys, Giants, and Raiders. Every team has worn a third jersey outside of league wide promotions such as the NFL 75th anniversary in the 1994 season, AFL 50th anniversary in the 2009 season, NFL Color Rush Thursday night games from 2015-2017, or Thanksgiving day games, with the exception of the Kansas City Chiefs. These are it for now. I have more that I can save for afterwards. Feel free to share something you have in mind.
  10. The word classic is thrown around too loosely. And people don't have an objective standard of what change is, so they are biased. Yes, KC has made changes with its uniforms with the aforementioned things in the team's history. Their old Dallas Texans throwback would be worth resurrecting.
  11. Last year when there were 8 uniform changes coming out it made Madden worth getting, add to the fact that there would be two new stadiums; Sofi Stadium and Allegiant Stadium. This year there are many uniform changes, but most of them are throwbacks being added to teams. The Bengals are the only team with a new overall uniform. The Jaguars made the switch from black to teal as the primary color. The Giants added white pants with red stripes to compliment the road jersey. Would it be better to wait for Madden 23? Washington will get a new name and the Rams will get their 4th uniform set. Those are the changes for when the 2022 season comes around, and other changes will probably come along the way. If I get Madden 22, I'll buy it when the price drops.
  12. I gave an opinion. Seeing variety is better than seeing the same look all the time. What one person thinks is the best look may not be the same for another. Different strokes for different folks.
  13. Kind of. That's such an overused and half-baked word. I'm saying teams can do whatever they want.
  14. Meh. That doesn't mean they have to wear the same thing all the time. Because that gets boring.
  15. I remember the year 2006 and the surrounding years. Those were good times.
  16. They had navy and royal blue as the alternates in the previous design. I guess the current ones are modified versions of those.
  17. This thread was made 8 years ago. I'm unclear of what the criterion for the topic is.
  18. Probably because it was the color rush from the previous uniform design, and the fact that they used royal blue from the 1970s to the 1980s.
  19. All of the Chargers uniform combos are good. They have one of the best sets in the league.
  20. Are any of the throwbacks from the teams planning to reveal to the public in the Madden game already? If so, which ones and teams'?
  21. There's this thing called shilling.
  22. There are 31 other teams who are a "football team" too.
  23. If you count the preseason, this would be the other time. Preseason 2002
  24. The last year of that uniform this movie came out.
