Yet another terrible looking Thursday night matchup. Gold team against red team = Wear as much black and white as possible!

Again? Just go ahead and make it the primary at this point if you're gonna wear it for two of the first three home games. I would guess the third time will be one of these games:

Week 12 vs. Cincinnati after the playoff loss in all navy

Week 14 vs. Jacksonville

Week 16 vs. Houston

Week 10 vs. Denver would've been perfect, but that is now unlikely. Hopefully we at least get the light blue bottoms to break up all the navy in that one.

I really hope they mix up the grey game this year, definitely hope it’s not just worn in Arizona again. Also interested to see if/when they wear navy over grey this year. Maybe against the bucs in Germany if Tampa wears white, or a home game later on in the season, such as the raiders or jets game. Also hope they break out green over blue against the 49ers on TNF.

I'm hopeful that navy over gray will appear again this year for home games. My only concern is that last season became a lost season for the Seahawks with the injury to Russ and their inability to win games. It's possible they just said screw it and decided to mess with their traditions since they were completely out of the playoff race for the first time in a while. I hope this isn't the case, but we'll see.

Could've used the orange socks here against a black team, but at least the black pants were avoided.

Fixed.

I wouldn't mind that either but thought I'd take the slightly more realistic approach.

Can the Chargers please wear yellow pants when they host KC? That hasn’t happened yet, but they’ve done it twice against both LA and LV the past two seasons.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Pats wear the red throwbacks again this week, although it would be unlikely. The players were apparently clamoring to keep them after the Detroit game, and the team only scheduled two games of them this season. If they want to use a third, Monday Night Football against the Bears (presumably with the starting QB coming back) is a great time to do it. But I also understand if they want to avoid the Super Bowl XX talk.

That would be awesome if they were able to do that. They should've picked that Bears game for throwbacks to begin with.

if they (Jets and Eagles) keep winning, we will keep getting black uni elements 

Well the Eagles are 4-0 in green uniforms.

Cardinals in white socks is ridiculous.

Panthers too, and that seems to be here to stay…The amount of idiots in charge of these simple decisions is astounding.

Are they actually going to wear aqua socks or are they going for the “aLL iCeD oUt “ look?

They never seem to reveal that ahead of time. The picture has not always been an accurate indication on these posts.

Its so strange how the Browns and Chargers home jerseys with white pants are both clearly 10/10 looks and stand tall above most of the rest of the league, yet I still find myself dissapointed when they don’t bust out their colored pants, which might as well make them 11/10 looks. It’s almost not fair that those teams each get two near-equally excellent home unis while so many teams don’t even have one.

I just wish the Browns would be less predictable like in 2020 when brown over orange would appear for random afternoon games and not only for primetime or division games. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that this week would be white pants. Then it will obviously be orange pants on Halloween night against the Bengals, which is not ideal.

My biggest gripe with the orange helmet (and pretty much all the other non-throwback alt helmets) is that they do absolutely nothing to make the uniform better than it was.

On the contrary, Atlanta's red helmet ADDS color and makes that look way better and more interesting.

The whole situation is a bit of a catch 22, allowing some teams to bring back classic looks (Atlanta, New England Tampa Bay) but also allowing other teams like the Bears to ruin existing alternates.

Not surprising since this horrible look gives them superpowers (until they lose in it). What a weird-looking Jets @ Packers matchup this will be.

Random observation: This is the FOURTH straight week that the home team on Thursday night is orange. The Bengals wearing the white tiger look was the only thing that broke the streak. Every other team wore as much orange as possible.

Browns 

Bengals

Broncos

Bears

The game tonight would look okay with white/burgundy/white against navy/white/navy. Instead it will be a hideous mess.

Now let's hope for purple pants in Tampa!

"So clean"? Yeah nice try.

 

The Bills entire identity is the most bland in the entire league. 

I agree it's down there. A white helmet with a red and blue color scheme isn't super creative. The helmet stripe widening in the back is the most interesting uniform element they have that I can think of. The red helmet would really help improve their identity again.

2020 season AFCCG was the best a Bills at Chiefs game will probably ever look.

You can’t be serious, right? 

Wow, how did I forget the Jaguars? The Saints at least still have the gold helmet, but yeah Jags all-white has got to be #1.

Still no white over blue since that loss to Jacksonville last year. This look may legitimately be the most bland white uniform in the entire league.

With the Ravens getting in as many uniform combos as possible the last few years, you can hardly predict what to expect. But then again, that's the fun of it all when we come up to this thread. I agree with you and believe they will go white/purple. My gut has me thinking they save the white pants for the TNF game at Tampa Bay in 2 weeks assuming the Bucs go with a uniform using the red or pewter jersey.

I would rather see the purple pants in Tampa of the two, assuming one of them will be a white pants game. The Ravens play at the Giants again in two years, but the Bucs have worn white at home the last two times (2014, 2006) that Baltimore came to town. We need white/purple against red/pewter so that each team looks its best for that one, which should be an awesome game too! If that is somehow a white game for Tampa, I will be extremely disappointed.

The Jaguars have worn teal pants with their white jersey the last two years visiting IND at Lucas Oil.

 

Baltimore goes all white when it is a game on artificial turf or if it's a national game. They haven't worn white tops with purple pants yet, this might be a good time for their season debut.

 

I think BUF goes white tops with blue pants at KC this time. Plus, they've been obsessed with the blue pants lately.

 

Unless the Eagles pull of the gimmick like they did in 2007, they should be in midnight green against Dallas.

 

Does LAR still use bone pants? They mix and match from game to game.

 

Some of the other games are hard to say.

Bills have loved the blue pants only with the blue jersey lately. Haven’t work white over blue since Week 9 last season. 
 

Ravens seem to flip a coin with the road pant colors. Game is on turf, so could go either way after they wore black pants last road game.

I forgot the Rams in my list. That one is also a toss up. I say the bone pants remain an option.

Here are my predictions for this week. I don't think there will be many surprises. I really hope Seattle goes with the gray pants to switch things up for that bland, repetitive matchup that always looks the same aside from 2020.  I excluded the ones that are pretty obvious (Vikings, Dolphins, Patriots, Eagles)

WAS all white

BAL white/white 

JAC white/black

CLE brown/white

CIN white/white

NO black/black

TB white/pewter

NYJ white/black

CAR white/white

ARI white/white

SEA navy/navy

BUF white/white

LAC powder blue/white

I wouldn’t be opposed to bengals having orange pants for a game like this

Only problem is that they probably wouldn't wear them for games like this. They'd wear them against other orange and warm color teams.

This is also 2 weeks in a row they wore black pants instead of green. I don't like this one bit. 

And after beating a decimated Dolphins team, these are sure to appear again at Lambeau, but at least there will be some contrast from the Packer green. And then once the Packers beat them, the black pants will magically no longer be lucky.
