Also, I'm just gonna say it, I think this is my favorite Falcons uniform in general. It's nostalgic for me. Before switching to red at home, before Nike screwed it all up.

 

 

 

Also, they use to have black pants (with white striped socks!?) and it was great, they mothballed it after like two seasons or something. The removal of black pants along with Nike's template screwing it up really watered down their look.

 

 

 

 

(A) (Edit) I stand corrected, I checked GUD and they had those socks for one season in 2003. Huh.

(B) Any black pants/black socks combo is an automatic no from me. The black pants could've worked with the striped socks or the red socks that they paired with the red uniforms. But they simply don't with the black socks.

Watching the Ravens/Steelers game has me thinking…

 

How common (or uncommon) are matchups where both starting QBs wear the same number?

 

In this instance, Rudolph and Huntley both wear 2.

The 90s Niners/Cowboys rivalry had Steve Young and Troy Aikman both wearing number 8

Baltimore's mustard pants were noice

 

(A) I completely forgot that Kyle Juszczyk was a Raven

(B) The problem with those is just that gold isn't prominently featured anywhere else on the uniform. The gold is used primarily in the logo, and is barely a tertiary accent color elsewhere. The pants ended up sticking out like a sore thumb.

As worthless as the Pro Bowl is, usually players are excited because at the very least, they get bonuses or something.  These guys are so checked out that they don't even give a single F.  Not sure I've ever seen complete apathy like this.

 

 

Geez, is this the most doom and gloom 11-5 team of all time or what

And speaking of important design elements...  I particularly like how they handled the hem, resorting to the most oft-repeated crutch hockey uniform design has to offer today: "When in doubt, copy Detroit."

I was with you until this point. "Copy Detroit?" It's lazy for sure, but the presence of a single hem stripe doesn't necessarily scream Red Wings to me. Their primaries definitely copied Detroit when they were originally designed in 2011, but not every single jersey with a single hem stripe is automatically a Detroit copycat.

Roundel's still giving me late aughts vibes.

(This uniform was released in 2010)

I think the current logo in white with some blue trim might've worked better. Maybe if you really want to differentiate it from the primaries, add the "Tampa Bay" script back above the logo.

Darnold vs Wentz. And Darnold doesn't get to rely on CMC, since he's out as well. Neither team cares, since both are locked into their playoff position. Starters will probably be pulled at some point regardless of score.

This will either be the greatest game of all time or the worst game of all time. I can't wait.

That middle helmet is sex.

Pop the Red facemask on that mother.

White helmet all day long for me. Again, really don't like the middle one and the blue one is a good retro look but shouldn't be worn full time. But the white helmet is perfection.

New Bolts 3rd...

This would've fit right in around 2009/2010. The roundel logo makes it kind of a dated look.

Any word on whether there are hem stripes that aren't visible in this pic?

It was, unfortunately, always held by the Titans, because the NFL is super inconsistent on keeping together its  legacy franchises.

Because Bud Adams decided to be petty and refused to give up the Oilers moniker for reasons of ego.

Don't like the darker grey at all. Looks too close to BFBS. I can tolerate the blue-ish silver look, but don't darken it any further.

We will never get to see the proper 49ers helmet from that generation. 1946 graced both the Browns and 49ers.

As a 49ers fan, keep the 1950s red helmet in the 1950s. I get it's more historically accurate, but the Niners in any helmet color besides gold looks wrong to me (that includes silver, for anyone clamoring for a 1960s throwback). The 49ers current uniform lineup is just about perfect, don't mess with it.

Not too bad looking of a Winter Classic

I was already rooting for them to continue their losing streak, they just gave me another reason to do so.

Rams

Bengals

Bills

Commies

Lions

Browns

Packers

Seahawks

Colts

Bucs

Dolphins

Bears

Broncos

Chiefs

Eagles

49ers

Except if they play a team who also has yellow pants. In which case I prefer a contrast. And also an opponent who has gold pants. I think that's why LAR is going with the combo they chose when they host the Saints who might bust them out. I also didn't mind the Rams wearing blue over bone against the Commanders or some of the other opponents they've worn them against.

I can see the argument for bone pants against an opponent in yellow/athletic gold pants, but metallic gold?

I'll take this

Over this

Any day of the week (uniform matchup-wise, of course. That NFCCG loss was painful).

Hot Take- SF is going to go 1 and done

 

Kyle Shanahan until proven otherwise is basically this era's Marty Schottenheimer

 

This 49ers team has a 2019 Ravens vibe- unstoppable with a lead, but do you trust them down 10?

This just seems like a hot take for the sake of a hot take, rather than anything grounded in fact. The 49ers have been to three of the last four NFC Championship Games. They're not exactly inexperienced on the playoff stage. 

Down 10? It's hard to prove anything about being down 10 when you've barely spent any time down 10. Tell me who's going to open up a 10 point lead on the 49ers.

I find the blue on bone to be an acceptable uniform that's easier on the eyes than the blue over highlighter yellow.

Disagree. Blue over yellow is how the Rams are supposed  to look. Blue over bone just looks like the dollar store version of blue over white.

Would've liked orange socks, but this is fine. I feel like their white/black/white and white/white/black road combos are basically interchangeable. 

The Rams uniforms infuriate me because they're so close to having a great set, but all their gimmicks drag the whole thing down.

would mariota have won this game?

Not sure he would have. I think that a lot of the Eagles' issues are defensive and in play-calling, neither of which would change with Mariota instead of Hurts. The bottom line is, an offense with that much skill and talent at every position should not be constantly coughing up the ball and scoring only 17 points against a banged-up Seattle defense.

The Iowa Wild do (did? some photos have them wearing white helmets with these jerseys) have a wheat coloured helmet for their wheat jerseys. which is essentially cream.

and it looks much different in different lighting.

 

It just doesn't look good and that's with only CCM making all the helmets so at least the colour is consistent. Imagine how much variation we could see in the cream helmet colour across different brands.

Yeah I can see getting the exact shade of cream correct being a major issue. If I remember correctly, difficulty in getting the right shade of eggplant was the main reason why the Mighty Ducks wore black equipment for a few years.

Thanks for the cushion on the one seed, Seahawks! (now excuse me as I go vomit after praising Seattle)

If the Eagles black jerseys are still in the rotation and didn’t get retired for the throwbacks I am guessing this would be the game it is saved for. It would be kind of funny that a green team decides not to wear green on Christmas though.

Giants/Eagles in Philly is actually the perfect Christmas matchup, with the Giants' predominantly red road uniform.
