I like Ravens in white jersey and purple pants versus the Steelers black and yellow, if Baltimore brings out the purple pants, and assuming Pittsburgh doesn't go monochrome black. I also would like the Eagles in the midnight green pants versus the Rams royal blue jersey with yellow pants. But PHI is reluctant to wear the green pants most of the time.

The only road game they wore the all white color rush for was at Seattle in 2018. And the only other home game in primetime GB has this year is against the Chiefs, which they could still potentially wear them for. Another poster said teams doing white at home to make the fans in the stands do a white-out is something that's nice to do once in a while, but teams should not go overboard with it. I like to see teams wear their white jerseys/uniform at home to see how it matches with their home stadium and field. Seeing the Panthers vs Seahawks game, I thought Seattle's white jersey/navy pants combo on their field looked good. Watching the Chargers vs Vikings game, I thought how the Chargers all white looked good in US Bank Stadium. It makes me miss seeing their all white for their home games at SoFi Stadium.

I said teams who previously wore white jerseys/uniform at home, in their own stadium and not counting a neutral site game such as the Super Bowl. I excluded Seattle because they hadn't done it prior. We'll find out if it will be the case in week 3 when they play Carolina. Teams wearing their white tops at home to honor/celebrate a championship might become more of a thing. The Giants did it two years ago against the Rams. And the Rams did this last year when they opened against the Bills.

If this is to be believed, Sean Payton had a say and made the decision. https://www.9news.com/article/sports/nfl/denver-broncos/mike-klis/denver-broncos-vs-washington-commanders-nfl-game-story/73-69fe45b5-3411-4597-864f-950f2c7682db That would explain why the Broncos wore the white uniform for their home game against the Rams in the preseason.

After the Broncos wore their white uniform at home in Denver, they break a drought of not wearing white at home. Teams who have gone the longest without wearing their white jersey/uniform at home in their own stadium since they last did so. 1. Pittsburgh Steelers (1969) 2. Kansas City Chiefs (2006) 3. Arizona Cardinals (2009) 4. New England Patriots (2011) 5. Philadelphia Eagles (2015) The teams after the top 5 are in 2019, but they have 4 years and their drought isn't that long.

I was guessing that Chicago could wear orange in Tampa. I didn't think they would do it. Last time Jacksonville didn't wear white jerseys at home was in 2010. I would like to see the Jaguars wear teal pants with the white jersey like they did against Arizona in 2021, for the week 3 game against the Texans. Buffalo isn't wearing white for the home opener now. But they did it in the preseason against IND. I don't get that. This being the case, hopefully they cut down on the obsession with the all blue.

The TV networks have a say in the games they want to have. The league and their network partners work these things out. Detroit vs Kansas City did not disappoint. It turned out to be a good game. -
The Bears are the only team left who hasn't revealed their jersey games, among the teams who release uniform/jersey info. Who usually gives out their uniform schedule. Before they do I'll take a guess on their third and fourth jersey games. I'm guessing that Chicago wears orange jerseys against the Panthers for their Amazon Prime game. Maybe at Tampa, like what they did at Miami in 2018. As for their white throwback uniform, the Broncos, Panthers, and Falcons game can be ruled out for that. The possibilities for the white throwback games are one of the NFC North opponents, the Raiders, and the Cardinals.

The Texans will wear their navy for 5 of 9 home games, and maybe one more depending on what happens in Jacksonville. Next year they will have new uniforms, I guess I don't mind in this instance. As for Baltimore. They worn their alternates more times than what is supposedly allowed since 2017, save for the 2020 season. I think they go with purple for this game to make way for more of the combos to be shown in the home games. They probably want to get in more of the purple jersey/black pants and all purple (regular ones, not the color rush ones) in there, which haven't been worn that much.
