It's weird that the Panthers for the 2nd year in a row have now insisted on using one of their 3 alt slots in the preseason.

And against the Lions, who have very similar colors. They seem to view it as primarily a *home-team-is-wearing-white* uniform these days, regardless of whether the heat is a factor or not. I miss when they'd wear them at home in the regular season either in primetime or in late October:

Mariners wore the aquas on the road in Chicago yesterday, which they (as far as I know) only do when the home team is already wearing blue, navy, or black and they don’t have a choice. The Sox were wearing white for this game though. I can’t recall Seattle doing this any other time this season, but I love it. So tired of them wearing navy all the time.

Titans are going with the rare navy over white look on Friday. They have worn navy over light blue against New England twice with this set, once in the regular season and once in the preseason, and now they once again will be avoiding the all-navy look, which is great but merely a coincidence.

I think they took some influence in making the Commanders uniforms. The gold numbers outlined in white seemed a reference to me.

 

You could also say the plain pants are a reference, although I think the team originally planned to use mono way more often. I feel like they would’ve added a stripe if they realized they would like this combo the best.

I don't think there is a rule during preseason. Back when the Jaguars wore black as primary, they wore the teal jerseys twice in the preseason.

Jags and Panthers have both done it for years. Cardinals even wore black last preseason.

Curious how the Ravens' gold pants would look with their Purple color rush jersey

Bad

Maybe if they wore them with the White jerseys...

This would look too much like the Steelers, who they hate. I think Humphrey is just trying to stir the pot and generate conversation in the comments. He wasn't even on the team the one game they wore them.

The Broncos are now experimenting with solid white socks? These teams just can’t control themselves.
 

Meanwhile, the Colts and Bills both go blue socks with their white jerseys and pants? Preseason is always full of whacky, misleading $hit like this. Most classic example is the Saints pretending to be a gold pants team year after year.

AFC South continues to be the most lifeless uniform division in the league:

“Winter weather warning”

*Wears the helmet in early October*

Week one is going to feature the home team in red helmets with all white below that and the road team in white helmets with all red below that. That's going to be so ugly and confusing. 

They could wear burgundy pants, which they did for the home opener last year, but that would be way too much red. Seems like a lose-lose situation.

I was cautiously optimistic that maybe they’d wear the black maybe just once, or even not at all, but they are slated for two games.

Still better than three, although last year one of the three was at Dallas, who is probably wearing navy throwback on Thanksgiving this year.

I thought they picked decent opponents overall. Bears on TNF was to be expected, and the Giants with all the red on their white set actually will provide some nice contrast.

What bothers me about calling them "snowcapped" helmets is that it would imply that only the top of them is white. If you want to call the full uniform snowcapped, that at least makes some amount of sense, granted it's still stupid, cringeworthy, and gimmicky like all these other fake color names, but whatever gets the fire emojis flooding the comments sections I guess?

That look is a true treat.

 

It’s a treat with either color pants since the team is inexplicably obsessed with white jerseys.

Didn't expect to see the Saints in gold pants today

They only wear gold pants in the preseason.

It’s August, which means the Saints decide to look like a professional football team for a few weeks. Great-looking matchup.

Have the Eagles ever worn green pants in the preseason?

I’ve always wondered why the Dolphins swear by their aqua jerseys in the preseason. I get that their games are in the evening but still you’d expect to see some white at home from them of all teams.

The set is entering its 6th season. If Tennessee doesn’t give any hints toward an overhaul this year, pack it up cuz they won’t be changing anytime soon.

I think it’s possible they time it with the opening of the new stadium.

Trying to find the red on the Titans uniforms that “sets them apart” from other navy heavy teams-

The same can be said about the light blue. It’s mostly navy and gray.

If you think this is a lot of navy, get ready for Titans Bears on Saturday. At least the Texans have red jersey numbers and the Pats have silver lids, but literally every element in that game will either be navy or white.

I hope that's not the uniform combo for when they meet in the regular season of 2024.

This was perfection in 2016. Same thing back in 2008 but under Reebok.
