  1. 'twas a joke. Tampa is great and I have plenty of friends from there, but let's be real, the area does have quite the contingent of thin blue stripers.
  2. Have you been to Tampa? It wouldn't surprise me one bit if that was intentional.
  3. Think this is spot-on. Bucs have won their last 3 games in white-pewter (5-1 in their last 6 pewter pants games in general). The stupid uniform superstitions (presumably will) live on.
  4. Is there a place where one can bet on uniform combinations? I would like to put my entire life savings on Lions in mono-blue, please.
  5. The Bucs will almost undoubtedly paint the endzones red as well (GUD has them as green, not sure why; they've painted them red for (almost?) all home playoff games in recent memory.) This should be a pretty good looking game, at least for the home team.
  6. Tonight's game is certainly going to be one of the uniform matchups of all time.
  7. Fantastic looking game, yes, but part of me wishes the Fins would’ve worn the white version of this throwback (they have that, right?) so we could see the Cowboys in blue and to continue the troll job of forcing them to wear the uniforms they hate.
  8. Totally get that. (I think) I've made my (admittedly kind of stupid) point and I'll move on. Half the posts in this thread are complaining about the Saints leotards, teams in solid white pants/white socks, and the Cowboys uniforms in general. So I didn't think it was a big deal to vent a little bit. Moving on.
  9. Maybe I didn't express my point clearly enough. My issue is the tweet showing little diagrams pointing to socks, pants, etc. with a little sidebar saying WHITE or BLUE. It just screams desperation for attention and is, for lack of a better word, cringey/lame/cheesey/nauseating. I obsess over uniforms just as much as the next guy, but a full uniform detail "announcement" is completely unnecessary. Let us find out what you're wearing on Sunday morning during warmups; it's stupid to make a social media post about your freaking blue socks.
  10. Call me a grandpa, but this tweet perfectly encapsulates just how stupid, cringey and pointless these UnIfOrM rEvEaLs are. Nevermind the g*dd*mn lame-ass frozen face dude emoji, but c'mon, do you really need a little graphic showing SOCKS down there???? Good lord I hate this league, and the vast majority of its fanbase, so damn much. STOP THE PRESSES, OUR FOOTBALL TEAM IS WEARING BLUE SOCKS WITH OUR STANDARD ROAD UNIFORMS. PLEASE RETWEET THIS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. Give me a break. Get off my lawn. Take me back to 1982.
  11. Think Tampa wears red the next two weeks, giving us a grand total of three (3) times this season.
  12. Potentially unpopular take, but even as a uniform detail enthusiast, I find these reveal tweets absolutely cringey and just stupid. What other league in the world tweets out "here's what color our helmet, pants and SOCKS will be next weekend." I miss the days when you found out what teams were wearing when they ran out onto the field on Sunday/Monday. Throwback announcements once or twice a year are fine but these "helmet -- jersey -- pants -- socks" detail announcements make my eyes roll further back in my head than human anatomy allows.
  13. I watch a fair amount of games and I feel like I see more 2012-2018 gear in the stands than the current look too. Or maybe it's about even, but definitely enough to stand out to me.
  14. Didn't realize the 49ers were wearing the road throwbacks. This would've been such a good week for Seattle to do the same.
  15. Louisville just needs to bring back their 90's/early 2000's maybe? look with some modernizing. Fix the stripes some and this is a clean, modern look in today's CFB fashion environment.
  16. They only wore the blue tops a total of two (2) times in their two seasons as the Tennessee Oilers. And both instances were on the road: at Miami and at Dallas. So they wouldn't have much of a connection with these throwbacks anyway.
  17. In terms of at home only: 2020 - weeks 1 and 4 2021- weeks 2 and 4 2022 - weeks 3 and 5 I guess what I was saying is week 7 seems kind of late for them to go all white at home compared to previous years, since week 5 had been the latest since the brand refresh. As a person who gets stuck with a lot of Bucs games on TV locally it seemed abnormal, but maybe not.
  18. I know they often do WAH into November but I feel like it's usually paired with pewter pants. The white jersey/white pants combo seems to be reserved for typically one home game, usually early in the season, historically speaking (I'm not counting the alarm clock years since that look was such a clusterf***.)
  19. I was referring to them depriving us of a potentially gorgeous matchup with the Browns, in their proper uniforms at Indianapolis, which we haven't seen since 2012.
  20. The Colts picked the absolute worst week imaginable to debut these duds. Oh, what could have been.
  21. Have you seen what the Broncos, Cardinals and Washingtons are wearing? And now just because you said that, watch the Lions go mono-grey. We truly can't have nice things.
  22. If the Rays are going to keep calling these "throwbacks" they could at least make the caps the correct color and do something about the hysterically oversized devil ray logo.
