...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.

Stop with this emoji. It isn't even "icy" if you're wearing black socks with it.

Must be because Pitt's season is over.

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.

Surprised this game never got a mention for this week...

This honestly might be up there as one of the ugliest looks I've ever seen. Thank goodness they stopped doing this after 2017.

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.

Interesting. It's definitely not from another game this year because you can clearly see in the video that there's no shoulder TV numbers- meaning that he has to be wearing the throwback uniform. The only time the 49ers have worn the primary helmet decals with the throwback whites was back in 2019 - when CMC was not on the team:

Just noticed a 49ers uniform inconsistency from Thanksgiving night in Seattle: There was a clip of Christian McCaffrey getting his helmet fixed that went viral: But he has the wrong helmet. You can see that on the side of his helmet there's gold trim on the 49ers logo, as well as the primary logo on the front bumper. That's the primary helmet. As the 49ers were wearing their throwback uniforms, they put throwback decals on the helmet, as can be seen with Brock Purdy's helmet here: How did this happen?

Please, please, please get your act together for next year, Fanatics.

Shoo in for worst of the week on your list?

Third. Wk 4 vs ATL Wk 11 vs TEN This

Canes are wearing white helmets tonight - my guess is it's because they are playing in Calgary later on this road trip, where they can't wear red helmets, so they decided to just bring white.

Reminder that this game is between a teal team and an orange team.

That stupid ad overlapping with the striping. Orher than that, it's a great one-off jersey.

Yeah, not to mention inconsistencies in image size and the templates used. This site is decent, but it's far from complete and it doesn't come close to the scope of what NHLuniforms did: Keeping track of the various manufacturer's tags throughout the 80s and 90s, as well as all the anniversary, memorial, and All-Star Game patches. Hopefully that site gets up and running again.

Fair point.

Agree with you there -- the late-2010s Rams looked like a complete joke aesthetically. That's laughably bad. At the very least, the new uniform set has consistent colors.

By the way, nhluniforms.com has been down for several days now -- if it's gone forever, does anyone know any other good NHL uniform databases?

I know he isn't actually a kicker, but

The 49ers wore the red throwbacks three times and the white throwbacks twice in 2021, but they had to get special permission from the league to do so. They also apparently requested to wear all-white in Super Bowl LIV but were denied.

Do they have another alternate slot available? Have they worn black yet this season?

Here's what I found for Bears/Vikings with purple socks: Here's a good one: It's a shame, really. There were only a couple players on each side of the ball for the Vikings wearing white socks, I didn't think it would be this hard to find good pictures of the correct purple socks that the vast majority of the team wore. Edit: Here's another really good one:
