Yeah, none of those are good.

Alt helmet must be worn with alt jersey. Stupid rule, but alt helmets are stupid anyway.

I’m glad I’m not one of those people watching the Chiefs every week, hoping they will finally lose. It must be infuriating.

I wouldn’t call it a debate, exactly.

When the NFL first allowed white jerseys at home, Tex Schramm decided to put the Cowboys in white because he thought it was a good branding idea. His thought was, since most teams would continue to wear dark at home, by wearing WAH the Cowboys would basically be wearing the same uniform in pretty much every game. He saw that going forward the NFL was going to be mostly a TV show, and when fans turned that show on, the Cowboys would look like the exact same team, every time, home or road. Pretty smart, really. The blue jerseys being "bad luck" came along much later. It was a dumb knee jerk reaction to teams in the late 70's wearing white when playing Dallas to force them to wear their (really gorgeous) royal blue jerseys, and the Cowboys just coincidentally not playing well in them. That's what brought us to the boring navy and silver uniforms, which now a bunch of people mistakenly think are somehow Dallas' true colors. Even though their preferred home uniform has no navy, and basically no silver either.

Navy helmet, green jersey, white pants, navy socks would be the only acceptable use of that ugly green jersey IMO. See the Orlando Thunder as an example.

What a crazy ending to the Vikings/Bears game. Vikings up by 11, less than 2 minutes to go, Bears out of time outs. The Vikings would have to do a boatload of things wrong and the Bears would need a ridiculous amount of luck just to get it to overtime. Then, all that happened. But in overtime, the Vikings just had to sit back and let the Bears do Bear things. Which they did. The Vikings aren’t as good as their record and have no shot at catching the Lions, but considering I was expecting a 500 team, this has been fun. I’ll take it, for as long as it lasts.

Notre Dame’s numbers were unreadable.

If you had to keep the helmet...

Count me in as a third. I thought the Lions new uniform was a decent ( if minor) update when I first saw it, but I’ve soured on it pretty hard. Bad combinations, too complicated in places and way too simple in others. And something seems off to me about shade of blue. Plus, the black uniform just outright blows.

I realize this puts me firmly in the “unpopular opinion” category but I don’t especially care for these orange pants for the Bengals. The way that everyone is raving about them makes me feel like I’m missing something. I don’t think this look is better than the white jersey over black pants. And the black jersey looks better with white pants IMO. And the all orange? Not for me.

I think that the Kelly green is so much more interesting and visually appealing than the dark teal that I don’t see an argument to be made for the opposite. However, that said, if the owner’s pathetic aesthetic judgment means they have to stick with the sad dark blue green color, pairing it down to dark teal and a true silver would be a massive improvement. They currently wear dark teal, dark gray, and black. So muddled as to be nearly indistinguishable. It’s a color mistake a first year design student wouldn’t make.

Every crowd shot of the Eagles game shows the fans maybe 90% in Kelly green. Kelly green jerseys, Kelly green hoodies, Kelly green everything. You see almost no one in that ugly, dull blue green color. This is like the navy blue Padres situation. Stop being idiots. Your fans have already decided. Just go back to your actual colors.
