Yeah, this isn’t making much sense. They get to choose against Denver in orange, but HAVE to wear white against the Chargers in powder blue, which is an even lighter color? We’ve even seen them wear navy against the Chargers in powder that one Thanksgiving game. It seems that Detroit’s gray Color Rush is treated similarly. We’ve seen teams wear both white and colored jerseys against it on multiple occasions.

These teams meet on SNF in Week 17. Could get the same thing as last night, but there are several other possibilities.

I am referring to those matchups by saying that the league seems to allow it against the Broncos.

It would appear that the league considers orange a light enough color that this is okay against the Broncos. I just don’t understand why the Cowboys of all teams would choose to do it.

Panthers are looking good in their original blue combo with the silver pants and black socks. Not sure why they’ve had to ruin it with white pants and blue and white socks lately. I don’t mind these Commanders uniforms design-wise. They’re still not overly good, but they’re interesting enough and ultimately the correct colors I guess, but the plain white from the waist down is rough. I think the lack of stripes bothers me even more than the lack of burgundy socks.

It also allows teams with good alternates like Carolina to waste one of their opportunities to wear it.

Exactly. Most of the fun of this thread during the season comes from us all sharing our predictions and what we agree with and disagree with or what would look the best for given matchups. I don’t think most people on here go back and look at what was actually worn. It’s hard to even find a specific week as the page count increases.

Why TBD on the pants? Wasn’t the point of this thread to predict the full uniform that will be worn?

Most of the time they hold up during the season. The issue is when teams like the Falcons with no common sense make blatant errors that were never accurate to begin with.

That shirt also has the old Lions logo on it. Could likely mean nothing.

Falcons have inevitably taken down their schedule. We now wait for the "updated" version that will correct all of those glaring errors that the media team somehow missed.

Their schedule actually has them in black at Carolina, which makes no sense whatsoever. Gonna say that one is white and the other two are supposed to be black. Unless the Bucs for some reason are wearing red in Week 5 (which would be awesome but I don’t buy it)

Didn't see this coming!

https://twitter.com/GridironUniform/status/1557090014714109954/photo/1 These just keep on coming. Love it. Clearly some errors with this one though. They get less an less believable as you read on: White at LAR who's in bone in Week 2 White at Tampa in Week 5 Black at Carolina who is already wearing all-black I do like the gradient against Chicago. Way better contrast than this:

I was thinking more just jersey colors, but this is also an interesting observation. This year, opening day will likely be the first time they've worn white on white with the 2018 set vs. the Pats. It's been throwback every time. Even 2019 was white throwback.

Another team in all black against the Falcons? I mean, are these teams trying to induce vomit among all spectators at this point? Don’t mind the white at home with the Jaguars in teal for Week 1 though.

Vikings white vs. Saints black is another one of these color matchups that can't ever seem to happen anymore. The last 9 matchups have featured the Vikings in purple and the Saints in white. You have to go all the way back to this day for the last time the Saints wore black against Minnesota: Other matchups like this that never happen anymore that come to mind include: Dolphins white vs. Bengals black (2012) Chiefs white vs. Bengals black (2009) Bengals white vs. Jets green (2010) Texans white vs. Chargers in any shade of blue (2007)

https://twitter.com/Bengals/status/1556668462113644544/photo/1 Bengals schedule is out, and all those who obsessed over the white helmet a couple weeks back are now complaining that the team is only wearing orange for one game (and it's against KC yet again). Can't make this stuff up.

Hopefully the Chiefs go white pants this time around. They did that in that 2009 matchup when the Bengals last wore black. You have to go back all the way to 2003 for the last time the Chiefs wore white on red against the Bengals in black on white. Never happened with the previous Bengals set.

Orange against the Chiefs AGAIN? Ridiculous. At least this confirms the Bucs are wearing red for a home game! Also a bit surprising that they are wearing black in Week 1 for a 1pm game.

https://www.houstontexans.com/game-day/gameday-themes Not sure this has been discussed yet. We knew they'd be in red for the Eagles game, but they are also wearing Color Rush vs. the Browns again, as they did in 2018. White-out game in Week 1 as always, vs. Indy. This team can't ever seem to pick good opponents for its alternate jersey games. It would be nice to see Color Rush or Battle Red against the Titans or Jaguars for a change, or at least some fresh teams.

There is a team in Santa Clara that has basically the same issue.

That's a good point. They were pretty bad the whole time they had these current unis. At least the 2013-2017 set gave us the memory of them going to the AFC championship. If it weren't for some highly controversial Tom-Brady's team-is-playing calls in that game, they very well could've won the Super Bowl in that set. Who knows if they would've stuck to that look or at least kept some elements rather than completely oversimplifying things in 2018.

Unfortunately, that has been the team’s go-to look on the road, with the teal pants typically only being worn once per season on the road with the white jersey. The all-white has usually appeared once or twice, but that looks is just incredibly plain and boring. They need a more interesting rebrand after this season.

I think what bugs me more about the Bucs doing it is that the color scheme becomes so much more pewter-heavy, whereas when a team like the Dolphins does it, they still feel like an aqua team. The numbers, the socks, etc. are still all aqua. The Bucs have a nice color scheme that works better with the red jersey.
