Speaking of the one helmet rule, why don't all the teams who have a throwback uniform that needs their helmet to complete the set, join in together to lift that rule? I know that someone told Eagles owner Lurie that the Eagles proposal about it wouldn't pass, but they should still try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Because the one-helmet rule is a fig leaf to disguise the fact that the NFL is the single biggest impediment to addressing CTE. If they lift that rule, they might be forced to make actual substantive rule changes. And they're too cowardly to do that. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I was going to say 'because they don't care about the one helmet rule', but your answer is probably better. Strike the probably. It's better. It's where I sit.

phutmasterflex Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Well this is new. Now they're going to treat individual players like boy scouts by affixing a patch on their uniforms like a badge for their achievements off the field. When was the last time an official jersey patch was put on a uniform that was for an individual off-field accomplishment? Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VDizzle12 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Can't wait for a team to have a captains patch, super bowl patch, anniversary patch and wp award patch. Not to mention a chest patch like the Jags, Chiefs, Jets or Steelers. We could potentially see 5 on the front of a guys jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VDizzle12 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Not sure why they couldn't have just made the WP award a helmet decal or even a small tag on the collar like the NBA does for championships. It's an important award, but I'm not sure it deserves a huge patch on the front of the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their usage of this mostly green version is becoming more prominent in their posts and promo. I have no problem with the current "midnight green" but the usage of black can sometimes be pretty heavy when it really isn't necessary. I absolutely despise their black 3rd jersey, especially when used with the black pants. I wouldn't be sad to remove the black or tone it back considerably. For reference, this is a comparison between what is considered their official logomark compared to what they have been using lately in social: For what it's worth -- I feel like this is basically what the Lions did last year right before they pulled the chute on black. I noticed they too were using blackless logos on their social media, some stadium signage, and the odd piece of merch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H11K Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm a fan of the WPMOY patches in the jerseys. Mainly because these players are extraordinary both on and off the field, and players like Brees and Fitz deserve that extra bit of recognition.

Those are supposed to emphasize the team, not individuals. If we're celebrating individual accomplishments, that's a different kind of uniform. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

hormone Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Since the nfl relaxed the color rush rule (and the cowboys are set to go navy jersey/color rush white pants) are teams allowed to mix/match now or is it still color rush or your regular or alternative uniforms? For example, could the ravens wear purple pants with a white jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
