Why they left the color balance so lacking is beyond me. I will always hate that godawful "strap" on their shoulders, but other than that, these uniforms actually look pretty good. Unfortunately, these are probably the only two combos within the entire set that look good, and the green flowers on the pant stripe look so much better than the gray flowers.

JWhiz96 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Plain throwback-slashes in the end zones at MetLife Stadium tonight. Disappointed, as the end zone designs at MetLife (both Jets and Giants) are some of the better ones in the league. It will be interesting to see what color the Dolphins' facemasks are. I hope they're orange, but logic tells me they'll wear their normal whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rj0498 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Seeing the Chiefs go against the Titans, makes me wish the chiefs wore all white at home. seeing those chiefs roads versus the Titans homes would be an awesome looking matchup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWhiz96 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 The Dolphins are wearing aqua pants and Jets in white. I don't think Saturday is designated for CR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already knew this wasn't going to be color rush, and the Phins color rush has already been shown in promo photos and on the field to have a white mask. Also, the endzones are the way they are because the Jets are playing a home game tonight with the Giants playing a home game tomorrow, so the grounds crew would have had only about 12 hours total to change the fields out. Its not too big of a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not too big of a loss. Why not just have "New York" in the end zone? Miami has done that for years because the Hurricanes usually play the next day. However, I understand that they both share orange in their color scheme so the Jets/Giants couldn't use a specific color but they can use white.

Its not too big of a loss. When the Vikings played their games at TCF Bank Stadium they had crews working overnight removing and applying paint to customize the field. If Minnesota has enough time and money for such things than New Jersey New York should have no trouble as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets and Giants use interchangeable sections of turf for their end zones, not paint. Odds are they don't even have the needed supplies (JETS/GIANTS stencils, paint, cleaning equipment and solution, etc) to do it, and considering this situation happens maybe once every five or six years, they probably figured it wasn't worth the headache.

swisherHOU Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Red jersey, blue pants for the Texans. First time they've worn this combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsFan12 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Something has to be up this year regarding all the color and unusual combos we're seeing (Dolphins, Titans, Redskins, Bengals in orange over black, Texans in red over navy). I feel like the league has encouraged teams to wear as much color as possible for marketing purposes or something. I'm really happy about it; I just don't understand how it has all happened out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutmasterflex Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 This looks works because of the socks. Red socks with blue pants is what the Texans started their franchise with. The color balance of blue helmet, red jersey, blue pants, red socks is a perfect combo. If they went with navy socks this whole thing would not have worked that well Go A's!

SFGiants58 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 That Texans look should be their home uniform, as long as they have a navy helmet. Let the Cowboys be the blue Texas team, while the Texans can be the red Texas team (they already have the red numbers on their white jerseys).

swisherHOU Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 A little bit of useless trivia: The Texans have not worn red socks with the navy pants since Sep 28, 2008 at Jacksonville. They were on a four game losing streak to open the season, went to the leotard look (navy pants, navy socks) and won. Unfortunately, we never saw the red socks again with navy pants again until today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
