i guess we'll get all whites (blue socks?).  would look weird to go white over black since that's kinda NO (and ATL for that matter) primary.  doubtful we see blue pants back to back.

I still unfortunately think that there's a good chance that the Panthers ruin this one with black leggings. As the Ravens last year and Jaguars this year showed, teams are willing to wear black pants in New Orleans for some reason.

It would be black overload, but these teams don't care.

This game will look really nice.

This should be their primary road combo.

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

if they kept this modern set, but just went back to athletic gold & the old horn, I’d be largely happy with it. That highlighter yellow & the broken horn are just each such eyesores.

I'll add on that I'd remove the chest patch and the gradient. I'm not in love with that number font but I can live with it if it's not in gradient.

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

I've always wanted the Falcons to incorporate gold in the uniforms.

They did on their original (and current throwback) helmet

Calgary will be wearing black as it is one of their previously scheduled Blasty games. Carolina would have known that before departing on the road so maybe they just decided to go white for white’s sake on this trip?

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.

Okay, this will look cool. Most teams do a black endzone with black jerseys, so I respect Pittsburgh for bringing these bad boys back from Christmas Eve last year.

Must be because Pitt's season is over.

With the Lions getting new uniforms in 2024, I post this.

 

Lions vs Texans 2019 preseason

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Thumbing thru more SF/SEA pics, I did find a pic of CMC with a modern decal. At some point, there was a helmet swap. When or what that was, I don't know.

 

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.

Good catch. Strange, because checking other pics of CMC on Thanksgiving, he's in the throwback helmet.

 

Do you think NBC planted an old video?

 

 

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?

Q: How many times have the Jags worn their black alts this year? 

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.

I’m glad these two teams were each courageous enough to collaborate to create a vs.  uniform matchup. I’ve been wondering what this would look like. Now I know! 

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.

Eeeh, there's a lot of uniform gaps here; just looking at the NHL, the Bruins don't have any of their jerseys from the 20's-40's unlike on NHLUniforms. Toronto's only starts at 58-59, the Rangers' jerseys only start at 1976 , Detroit only starts at '86 and Chicago's only starts at 1996.

 

Hell, a few of the defunct teams straight-up just don't have uniforms listed on this site, like the Tigers, Pirates or Maroons.

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.
