Buster 245 Posted May 1, 2015 Raiders going gold next season? :blink:https://twitter.com/RAIDERS/status/593992477104734209/photo/1Raiders got jokes..1 helmet rule for one..OAKLAND RAIDERS @RAIDERS 2m2 minutes agoYeah Right...We Will Always Be THE SILVER AND BLACK !!!Ummmmm . . . 1960 Oakland Raiders --Not saying I want the Raiders in gold, but there is more precedent for that than for the 49ers in black.P.S. It's weird to see Jim Otto in something other than 00.That was an anomyly. The COBOL computer language was developed in 1960 and the overproduction of "new" mainframe computers to test it out led to a silver shortage from all over the silver being used in soldering. The Raiders could only find gold accent material for their uniform that year.http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline2014/1960/ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aawagner011 2,220 Posted May 1, 2015 Thy should have at least matched the stripe like these Nike practice shorts. Then they'd be consistent with the helmet stripe. Add a gold outline to the numbers and these would At least be less of an eye sore. As of now, they're one of the league's worst. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sec19Row53 3,405 Posted May 1, 2015 So any word on the Packer alts?Given the renaming of Curly's Pub to the Club 1919, I'm thinking it will tie in to that year.It's a stretch, but it's all I have. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would actually be tolerable if you pair that with gold pants instead of black. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConcreteCharlie 328 Posted May 1, 2015 The 49ers found "TOUCHABLE" written in blood across their facility elevator this morning. No team is safe from the wrath of Nike. They still don't know what Kevin Costner was doing there though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VikWings 1,431 Posted May 1, 2015 If the numbers were gold or white with a red outline and they were worn with the gold pants they wouldn't be that bad. But still BFBS, and stupid mono. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone mess with this concept and make the shoulder and pant stripe match the helmet stripe? I'm interested in seeing that. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOldRoman 1,292 Posted May 1, 2015 Honestly, it still looks like garbage with the gold outline. Better smelling garbage, maybe, but still garbage.Also, these are going to be illegible from any distance when players are in motion. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOldRoman 1,292 Posted May 1, 2015 100x better? No way. It looks good, but it makes that trash heap of a jersey look a mere 3.8% better. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No way. It looks good, but it makes that trash heap of a jersey look a mere 3.8% better.Okay, so maybe 100x was a bit off a stretch, but I still think they look better. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
