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.

That dude for whatever reasons loves all-white uniforms and even calls them "icy white" which contradicts a lot of his good taste.

"White/Navy socks"

Is that what it's come to?

I agree. It's one of those things that made so much logical sense when the all-white alternates were released in 2016 that we all just kept waiting for it to happen, but when they actually wore them on the field I, at least, was like "oh man, this actually looks ridiculous and washed out."

 

Plus, once my brain goes to zebra, I can't unsee zebra.

I guess I was in the minority when I had no interest in it happening at any point. It looks as pointless and dull as I expected all along. I mean it’s literally a colorless uniform. At least they’re limiting it to one game at home, but I wish they would drop the random additional road game they’ve been using it for and go back to two orange games.

Would've been cool to see an updated version of these color combos, for that Monday night game, but instead it will probably be White Tiger against Black Jaguar with no orange or teal to found.

100% untrue.

The old NFL rule was that socks must have have white bottom and contrasting top, unless the top was also white in which case the socks must have stripes. E.g:

What changed in 2019 was the allowance of solid color socks (in non-Color Rush games). This is where you get solid white socks being worn, at first with dark pants but now frequently with white pants.

There was never a pants/socks must clash rule. The "leotard look" is quite old. Rarely the norm but very old.

 

My bad. I misread that original message. Main idea I was going for was that the league loosened the sock rules and I don' t feel there's any reason to believe things will go back to how they were any time soon.

Two white helmet games and only one orange game is such a shame. Their best uniform and they're only wearing it once.

This is pretty much how its been every year since 2019, with 2021 being the only exception when they wore orange THREE times. Even before the white helmet they still preferred the old white Color Rush look to the orange jersey. I don't get it either.

I wish they would at least wear it against teams like this rather than the Chiefs or Steelers:

Orange against the Steelers again is such a joke. They insist on wearing it against red and yellow teams only.

I'm still confused about this. Is the white helmet going to be worn with the white jerseys every time, or did they just designate the white jersey/white pants as an alternate so they can break out the white helmets once in a while?

I am also confused. Their wording is quite unclear, but I am pretty sure they just mean that when they wear the white helmet, they got permission to use the regular white jersey for those games, like how the Panthers do with the black helmet/jersey. At the end of the video it still lists the Rams game as the game it is being worn this season.

I hope this is the case, and if so, they are making way too big of a deal over a pretty minor change.

The NFL needs a contrasting sock rule.

 

"Socks may only be the same color as pants if they include stripes, otherwise they must contrast."

 

There, someone go paste that into the NFL rule book somewhere.

This was a rule until 2019. No idea what genius came up with the idea to nullify it.

The NFL needs to stand their ground. The rule is that teams can only wear alternates helmets with alternate jerseys. Shouldn't be any exceptions. Do we really want the Cardinals or Commanders wearing a black helmet with red jerseys, Bears orange helmets with navy jerseys, Browns wearing white helmets with brown jerseys, etc? If the Bengals are insistent on wearing white helmets, then either use the old white CR set or make a new alternate. 

I doubt these teams would do these things given the three game limit and would probably just stick with their monochrome uniforms that they are already obsessed with.

regular white jersey would accomplish the task just as well as better than the color rush would.

Since the Packers all green alternate/throwback was released in 2021, they have worn them for the latest October game. This year the latest October game is against the Minnesota Vikings. But Green Bay has not worn their throwback uniforms against an NFC North rival ever since the team carried throwbacks in 2010. I think the all green uniform game will be the Rams or Chargers.

I really hope it’s the Rams of those two. The last three trips to Lambeau they wore blue pants. If Green Bay wears all-green, maybe they switch to yellow pants finally.

Pack wore throwbacks against the Chargers in 2015, so I would like to see their regular green jerseys this time, ideally with the Chargers in white on white.

That remains a legit great combination.

This too.

Yup, this is another case of a uniform not being as bad as people want to believe it is, but because they wear stupid combos all the time, people develop a negative opinion of the team's aesthetic in general and want a change.

I miss when the Jets looked like this in 2020 for most of their white jersey road games.

Game 1 of the preseason and we already have a team in white pants and white socks.

The Seahawks are having their 10 year Super Bowl reunion against the Panthers so maybe they decided to wear the same uniform combo from the Super Bowl (white/navy) for this game. Hopefully it is just an error on the panthers end though because I think it’s cool that the Seahawks are the only team to never go WAH.

The Panthers have mentioned it in several posts, so it looks to be legit. That would look incredibly weird if Seattle did that.

Actually, Carolina wore black against the Cowboys in 2006. The 2007 game was the blue jerseys.

Either way, this is a case where I'm happy Dallas isn't wearing navy because even when these teams play in Dallas, Carolina seems to avoid the black jerseys and go with blue instead. Happened 2015 and 2021.

"They should just make these the primaries already!"

A lot going on here:

https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-release-2023-jersey-schedule

Black jerseys vs. Houston for the first time ever!

Black jerseys vs. Dallas at home for the first time since '07.

It says black at Seattle Week 3 and white at home for Monday night Week 2. I almost feel like these are flip-flopped and that was an error. Otherwise Seattle is likely wearing white at home for the first time ever.

Tampa once again is wearing white at home vs. Carolina late in the season. Hopefully that doesn't mean no red jerseys before that game.

Blue jersey only being worn on the road once again.

Unless they meet again because of the same place finisher that's now a thing. Courtesy of the 17 game implementation.

Mathematically, any matchup is quite unlikely to happen again. For instance, in 2021 these divisions were matched up for the 17th game and it was Eagles at Jets. This year the AFC has the extra home game, which means it would again in 2025, unless the league decides to flip the rotation so that it's not the same every cycle. This is the only way the Dolphins or Bills could play at Philly again before 2031. And even then, one of them would have to finish in the same place in the standings.

At least Bills Eagles looked right in 2015:

They’re wearing them against the Dolphins and Bills??? WTF - not the Giants, Cowboys, 49ers, or any NFL rival?  That’s a choice. 

I agree these are poor choices. All AFC Teams and both likely will be in all-white. How exciting. 

Eagles are oddly wearing kelly green for both AFC games:

Week 7 vs Miami on SNF

Week 12 vs. Buffalo 4:25

At least one of these teams is sure to wear all-white from head to toe, which won't add much to the matchup. 

I thought there were some better opponent options on their schedule, like MIN on TNF, DAL, SF, NYG on Christmas, etc.
