B-Rich Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Just to throw something in here... I like, many of you, am glad the Saints are going with white for the Color Rush game (egad, "gold', as we've seen with Jacksonville last year, does not work; and the Saints already do all black -- too much and too often for my taste). I also agree with most of you that the look is very sharp. That being said, I think it's also neat in that it's also essentially a throwback outfit to ONE particular year-- their first in the Superdome, 1975. That was the year the Saints switched from full-time gold pants to white pants, regardless of the jersey color. The following year they went to black pants with the white jerseys, and white pants with he black jerseys, a look they kept until they went back to full-time gold pants with the era of the Louisiana state silhouette logo in 1986. http://www.neworleanssaints.com/team/history/uniform-history.html A local business magazine that did a story on the Saints 50th season had a two page banner intro page with a black and white pic from that season, with Archie Manning in the all-white uniform (never mind the black line, that's from the article's banner title block). Notice how much the Color Rush looks like this, with the sleeve stripes and pants stripes: It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fouhy12 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The Pats jerseys look really weird to me. I think it's the lack of shoulder numbers that just make it feel like something is missing from the jersey. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think all they need to do is replace Flying Elvis with numbers and replace that wordmark with the previous one. If they were to do that, it'd be a 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones they have now are so dated, with ugly overdone piping and gray shoulder stripes - gray should be trim only. Hate them with the Pats, and the WSU Cougars. The Color Rush jersey is a fine replacement. Add a white version, a red alt, and interchangeable striped white, blue, and silver pants and you have a modern set with a few "kewl" options.

bowld Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 My limited color Rush jersey came today. The cut is fantastic but the sizing is much different than the typical game and limited jerseys. Sleeves are much shorter... Thank God. Also length and width seems to be an inch or 2 shorter. Much more streamlined fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 More than the Redcoats, the red jerseys signify a Patriots franchise that played in a half-empty oversized high school stadium off a two-lane highway, once had its broke-ass owner squatting in the press box, and generally couldn't find its ass with both hands -- or as everyone west of Albany calls it, the good old days! Not every team should look to its past. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 New England uses too much silver, to the point where it's more dominant than red. They should have navy and red as the primary colors with silver being an accent color. I would personally like to see them illuminate Pat Patriot and go with red helmets, navy jerseys, white pants, and red socks... however I'm not sure how good that would look. Maybe they should just play it safe and go with white helmets and pants (with navy jerseys, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to believe the Raiders would get a special exemption. The Raiders could probably show up to Arrowhead Stadium that night and refuse to wear it but I don't think Mark Davis wants to piss Goodell off right now.

This guy made the same assumption that others did that they would opt for silver pants based on a poorly lit promo pic, which is false. And really, why would they wear silver pants if they're already gonna white out the socks anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
