infrared41 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Week 14 was pretty solid. We had one outstanding match up, some really good looking match ups, and a couple not so great match ups. As always, the lists are just my opinion. Best: 1. Steelers - Bills: It's finally "any other week" for the Steelers. Two great uniforms and it was snowing. This game was the easy choice for the top spot. Every game should look this good. 2. Cowboys - Giants: A match up of two classic uniforms - almost. For this one to be a true "classic", the Giants need to go back to the gray pants. The white pants look ok, but the gray looks so much better. Still a really good looking game. 3. Jets - 49ers: I would have liked this one more if the Jets had gone all white, but the green pants worked well enough. A match up of red, green, and gold. There's a holiday reference in there somewhere, but I can't get the bat off my shoulder. 4. Seahawks - Packers: Hard as I try not to, I like the Seahawks all gray and all white combos. Throw in the Packers and here we are - Seattle's annual appearance on the best list. 5. Washington - Philadelphia: Pretty good looking game. I wish I had more to say about it. Honorable Mention: Bears - Lions and Texans - Colts: Beating a dead horse alert...The Bears and Texans would have looked better in all white. Worst: 1. Bengals - Browns: Last week, I asked if snow makes every NFL game look better. Turns out the answer to that question is no. 2. Saints - Buccaneers: Our contributory negligence game of the week. 70% of the blame for this one is on the Bucs. The black pants alone are good for 30% for the Saints. That's it for this week. Thanks for taking a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Bengals/Browns just can't get right this year. the first matchup was almost all orange, this one almost all the dark colors which look the same from a distance. don't think there's a better helmet matchup than Cowboys and Giants. and the depth in that blue of the Giants helmet never really shows up on tv or pictures. paired against the 'Boys silver and those classic logos. perfection GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroywen Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If a Bills/Steelers matchup in the month of December did not feature snow (regardless of who's hosting), there would be no justice in the universe. The Bills' home is one of the best uniforms in the league, and I love the Steelers' set, so that one was an easy #1 for me. I actually can't agree in regard to the Giants' pants. The white pants are perfect for them, in my book. I think the color balance is much better with the white pants than the grays - there's no other gray elements in their uniform, other than the facemask, which is practically a default option for facemasks for old-line NFL teams in this day and age. Having gray pants with a uniform that barely features gray otherwise is a bit off-balance. Plus, the royal blue and white pair together so well - better than the blue and gray (not that that's a bad combo, granted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I love Philly-Washington this week more than any other matchup. However, Bills/Steelers is a close 2nd for me. I agree on both worst nominees, but I'm shocked no mention for Broncos/Titans on the worst list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Just purely personal opinion here and not intended as a knock, but I don't know that white jersey/colored pants in general hurt matchups to me as much. It's a case by case basis, as teams like the Texans can wreck it with their (basically) navy leggings, but other teams - when and only when balanced with white socks - can provide enough extra contrast to help a matchup. Case in point, I feel like Jets/49ers is made even better by the Jets green pants because there's just the right amount of green to contrast with the red and gold. All-white still looks great, don't get me wrong, I just like the green pants in this matchup even better because they make the matchup a little more interesting. Bears/Lions is another one where the Bears' navy pants provide a nice dark vs. light tonal matchup (plus, I think Chicago's navy-white-navy-white combo is one of the best road looks in the whole league anyways). Anyways, if I had to put a list together for this week, it'd be pretty close to this one. I'd just swap out Seahawks/Packers for Bears/Lions, then bump Jets/49ers up ahead of Cowboys/Giants.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Colts-Texans is decent, but kind of drab. The Texans lack a real identity. Their logo is great, but their set is sort of just a mish-mash of a whole bunch of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Would've been a good time for the Bengals to wear their white pants and create some better contrast against the Browns brown pants. The Browns new uniforms are so bad. It's hard to be the worst looking team on the field when you play the Bengals, but they accomplished that.

The whole matchup would be far better if the Colts just had a blue facemask and a couple white stripes on those socks in addition to the above change for the Texans. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The redskins and eagles matchup looks really good. Especially since the eagles jersey looks more green than blue in that particular pic. I agree that cowboys vs giants is an all time classic uni matchup but I really do not like those white pants for the giants. Grey pants would be so much better especially if they went back to the grey pants with blue/red/blue stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 You know a uniform is bad when it has been around for 3 years and it still hasn't grown on you, atleast the jags look good to me now sans helmet. But there is no good aspect of the yucks uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
