Doesn't look like it to me. The only times this season they've worn black over white were at Tampa and at Tennessee. All the home games, besides the two throwback games, have been all black. According to GUD, they're slated to go all black at home again this week. To say I disagree with this would be an understatement.

2023 NFL Regular Season Through Super Bowl LVIII
ruttep replied to PittsburghSucks's topic in Sports In General
I'm of the belief that bad officiating is just something that you can't control, and blaming the refs for a loss is pointless. The refs simply suck, they're not trying to specifically screw your team over. That being said, I'm not trying to defend the refs here, but a lot of rules in football are extremely subjective and open to interpretation, and a (possibly bad) argument could be made that every horrible call in a game was by rule the correct call. But in games that are close enough that you can argue a ref call swung the game in a certain direction, there are probably several different plays that you can point to where mistakes were made by the players or coaches that would have led to a different outcome for the game. TL;DR refs don't favor either team, they simply suck, complaining about them is pointless. -
The Canucks finally figured out their primary uniforms in 2019-20 when they removed the "Vancouver" text above the orca logo. Then they removed the pants stripes. Then they decide to wear chrome helmets with them. I don't even know what to say. What a mess.

Yeah colored helmets on the road are bad, this is 1000x worse. At least metallic gold is part of Vegas' color scheme and metallic silver is part of the Kings' color scheme. I'd have to think these are going to be paired with the Skate alt.

Worst NFL Uniform Matchups of All-Time
ruttep replied to MJD7's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
It's bad but it's (marginally) better than many uniform matchups these days because these teams are wearing proper pants/socks combos in their primary colors. I'll take this any day of the week over these disasters: Blue team vs gold team Teal team vs orange team -
Worst NFL Uniform Matchups of All-Time
ruttep replied to MJD7's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
Just had to come to this thread to post the greatest failure in color contrast in NFL history Whether you like the Lions' grey uniforms or not, you have to admit that they shouldn't have worn them against the Raiders of all opponents. -
Out of the four major US sports, I didn't include the NBA and MLB here because they allow any uniform in a team's line up to be worn at any time. However, the NHL and NFL are typically more strict. How many examples are out there of teams wearing their alternates in the playoffs for the latter two leagues? I'll start with a couple examples: The Hurricanes in the playoffs every year The Rams in Super Bowl LVI

The San. Jose. Sharks. A 4-1 comeback and 4-0 comeback in back to back games. What is going on???
-
...and it looks like NHLuniforms is down again Edit: it appears that I just have to clear my cache and it'll be fine

They did on their original (and current throwback) helmet
-
The decision makes about as much sense as any of their other uniform decisions. So, none.

NFL uniform matchups that only happened in preseason
ruttep replied to chrispw12's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
How dare you not trust the Lions and Texans to meet in the Super Bowl /s This matchup would be very much in play if these teams happened to meet there, as the AFC is the home team this year. -
DCarp1231’s Best & Worst Matchups of NFL Week 9
ruttep replied to DCarp1231's topic in Sports Logo General Discussion
Surprised this game never got a mention for this week... -
I know "sock-jacking" is a tired concept on this thread, but at the very least, teams should have all their players wear the same helmet design. This shouldn't be happening. Edit: According to a comment on this Uni Watch article, the helmet switch was just before halftime, and it's likely that the 49ers staff repaired the throwback helmet during halftime, since CMC was back in a throwback helmet at the start of the second half.
