I still can’t get over how boring these Twins road uniforms are. Looks like something you’d buy at Walmart.
-
I think they also don't want to lose any white-at-home games since the team has become obsessed with the white over pewter look. Pewter jerseys have only been worn once each of the past two seasons, and I would expect that to stay that way.
-
Twice in one season after a 10 year hiatus wouldn’t make them any less scarce. Why not wear them a couple times to show them off to the fans and increase jersey sales? It wouldn’t hurt to see them again in December rather than just reverting back to the Creamsicle-less days for the final 12+ weeks of the season, at least for this first season. I agree though that many people think highly of throwbacks for this reason, which is why I get annoyed when fans beg teams to make throwbacks the primary uniform.
-
They can wear them three times but instead are choosing to wear them only once for a non-primetime game, which is why I feel like all this hype is excessive.
-
Eh, the Falcons seemed to prefer the all-black look again last season. Black on white was only worn for 2/9 home games.
-
This would be cool, but that Week 15 game will almost definitely have the Bills in Color Rush red. Buffalo has worn it the home game before Christmas each of the past five seasons: 2018 Week 15 vs. DET 2019 Week 14 vs. BAL 2020 - Week 14 vs. PIT 2021 Week 15 vs. CAR 2022 Week 15 vs. MIA They do have a number of home prime time games this season though, so maybe we see it Week 8 Thursday night vs. Tampa or Week 10 Monday night vs. Denver.
-
It could also be argued that the 2019 season was actually a more significant contributing factor with the relaxed sock rules that had every team wearing solid white socks. Color Rush was originally just a Thursday thing.
-
If I recall correctly, it was at this exact moment (first Color Rush game ever) that football uniform trends began to go downhill.
-
Gray pants have gotten lighter in general. They don’t contrast very well with white jerseys in most cases.
-
Reebok jerseys looked shinier in general. The flat orange Nike jerseys look okay in the sunlight, but by the end of the game when it’s darker out, they look super dull.
-
Denver switched to orange when Nike took over in 2012, the same year Manning arrived. At the time, this was cool, but since their 2015 Super Bowl, it's been one mediocre QB after another and the team hasn't sniffed the playoffs once. No one looks at this uniform anymore and associates it with winning, or any positive feelings for that matter. It's severely outdated and the orange jersey has never looked good under Nike. The only Broncos uniform matchups I enjoy anymore are those involving the navy jersey or Color Rush orange. Even if it's an underwhelming redesign, I can't imagine it being anything less appealing than what they have now.
-
This is true. The latest they've worn them was Week 14 in 2018. More recently they wore them Week 13 of 2020. What I am worried about is that they host the Bengals, Ravens, and Falcons in the middle of the season. The black jersey would look horrible against any of those teams. My hopeful prediction is that they wear it Week 3 vs. Dallas and Week 12 vs. the Rams.
-
Against the Bengals they wore the alternate white uniform (bone was the primary)
-
So this pretty much confirms that the alternate helmet will be worn with the Color Rush jersey? The teaser made it seem like it would be a white helmet. Hopefully it's just an accurate shade of blue and not orange like the Bears...
-
Wow, we might finally see them wear white in the desert. And of course the Cardinals will ruin it by wearing black.
-
The last thing I can remember them denying was San Fran’s request to wear their white Color Rush in the Super Bowl against KC.
