Having all three major elements (helmet, jersey, pants) a different color, without one of the being white, is a terrible idea in football.  There are very few "rules" of uniforms I would consider an absolute, but this might be one of them.

Ghastly.

Denard “Shoestring” Robinson?

"Shoelace", actually.

Watch him hand the ball off here...

IDK, Esqueleto is pretty funny. But yeah, some comedies fall off hard when they decide to have a plot.

Yeah, Esqueleto definitely had his moments. But I just enjoyed it more when it was just Jack Black clearly running without a script doing dumb stuff.  No matter how old I get I’ll always be a sucker for low brow, infantile humor.

I'm SO glad someone got the reference. My wife and I are quoting that line as well as others.

The first half hour or 45 minutes of that movie is hilarious, when it’s just Jack Black tooling around on a rickety bicycle doing stupid stuff using an inappropriate accent.  Then they decide that all movies need a plot and there’s some sort of wrestling angle and it bogs down to a crawl.  For anyone who hasn’t seen it, just watch until the wrestling starts then turn it off.  (Which is kind of just the opposite of most movies which feature ridiculous wrestling plots.) 

In this particular case, they’d  look better if they matched.  It looks like a mistake.

For the handwringing about monochrome, by my count just 7 of 32 teams effectively wear monochrome as their primary home look: Dolphins, Titans, Seahawks, Patriots, Saints, Bills, and now the Cardinals.

7 too many.

I am going to laugh so hard if they "relent" and wear white pants with the red jersey, but screw it up by going with white socks too. That'll happen at least once this season, I guarantee it. 

Oh, if they wear red jerseys and white pants, they’ll definitely wear it with white socks.  There’s no chance of anything else. 

The Cardinals look better than they did last year.  
 

Still look bad, tho.  

Stripeless pants for the loss.

Patriots vs Texans tonight looked awful.

 

Patriots need Grey pants to wear with Navy jerseys in the worst way.  Did I see somewhere they were coming this year? 
 

Texans makeover can’t come soon enough.

They already have them. They wore them once last year.  Only once.  Because they’re morons.

Count me in on wanting this to be the primary Bears helmet-

I don’t think you can be “counted in” with something you’re all by yourself on.

The conference just keeps on giving you more work to do on this thread

 

I like what you've done to Wisconsin with the removal of the drop-shadow. I'm not a fan of the red duct tape W look...but I guess that's just my personal taste. Something from the 1980s (basic W) or 1970s (W in an oval) would make this nearly perfect.

Yeah it's a weird looking helmet...

I'm just trying to stay consistent with that 1962 uniform, but it certainly looks odd on a modern helmet.

And while we're discussing the Vikings, you know that nice sharp new throwback alt they just added? Well it looks like they're adding a memorial patch to that as well...

 

 

...in honor of Bud Grant. 

One game only, apparently.

Wow, Cincinnati is going to wear all black from head to toe.

Quite a shock, there.

You could knock me over with a feather.

The NFL needs to stand their ground.

And to play devils advocate about something else that keeps coming up …

Ohio State joined what would eventually become the Big Ten in 1912, I believe.  I’m wondering what was more difficult… traveling between Columbus, Ohio to Iowa City in 1912 or Traveling from Rutgers to Los Angeles in 2024?

He actually is the 4th string at the moment. Watson-Dobbs-Mond-DTR. He will absolutely move up in the depth chart though. 

Mond is straight up pond water.
