TruColor Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 NEW DUDS! Bengals, Colts & Falcons To Sport New Uniforms In 2004 They?ve got a new wardrobe! Three teams ? the Bengals, Colts and Falcons ? will introduce uniform changes in 2004 CINCINNATI BENGALS: Their new home jersey is black with orange sleeves and black tiger stripes on the shoulders. A white strip runs up the sides of the jersey nearly to the end of the sleeves. The Bengals? away jersey is white with orange shoulders with black tiger stripes and black sleeves. The team has added a pair of black pants to the traditional white, with both pants sporting orange and black tiger stripes up the sides. Cincinnati also added orange-topped socks to their uniform as an option to the current black socks. The Bengals will also show off a new logo this season (above), using a block-letter ?B? with white trim and black and white tiger stripes as their primary mark. Cincinnati head coach MARVIN LEWIS hopes the ?movement, speed and energy? in the design of the new uniform and logo will serve as symbols of how he wants his team to play. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: There will be subtle changes in their 2004 uniform. The re-design will include a darker shade of blue in the jersey, a return to the team?s traditional deep hue. In addition, the Colts are changing the color of their face mask from blue to gray. ?I?m kind of an old-school guy and I was very, very happy to go along with this,? says Colts head coach TONY DUNGY. ?I think it brings us back a little bit closer to our roots.? ATLANTA FALCONS: The team has chosen to make its red jersey (formerly its third jersey) the home jersey for 2004. Their black jersey, which served as their home jersey in 2003, will now become the third jersey. Also in 2004, the JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS will wear black pants on the road, instead of the white they wore previously. 2004 THIRD JERSEYS Some teams will wear a third jersey this season: TEAM COLOR - DATE(S) Atlanta - Black - 11/28 Baltimore - Black - 11/7 Carolina - Panthers Blue - 10/24 & 11/28 Cincinnati - Orange - TBA Cleveland - Orange - 11/21 Denver - Orange - 11/28 Houston - Red - 10/31 & 11/28 Jacksonville - Black - 12/5 New England - Silver - 12/12 Philadelphia - Black - TBA San Diego - Powder Blue - 10/10 Tennessee - Titans Blue - 10/17 & 12/13 2004 TEAM PATCHES Some teams will wear special uniform patches this year: ?

Sterling84 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Scarily enough though, I bought NFL 2K5 and in it, there is a uniform option entitled 2004 Third for the Packers. It's gold. The Official Cheese-Filled Snack of NASCAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozilla74 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I wonder if the Pack have enough time to do something to commemorate Mark Hatley this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGivens87 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Ugh, my beloved Pats are wearing the highly-overrated silver unis again. I like 'em, but if you're gonna wear a 3rd, wear the red throwback. The Pats Pro Shop just released 2 new player throwback jerseys of Richard Seymour and Rodney Harrison. C'mon, let's see those throwbacks again! Better yet, I wanna the the white throwbacks they wore back in 1994. THOSE were classic!

Sec19Row53 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I wonder if the Pack have enough time to do something to commemorate Mark Hatley this season. Given that we added a "3" in a football for Tony Canadeo within a week of his death last year, I'd say there's time.I'd also say it won't happen, as Mark Hatley isn't as big to the Packers history as Tony Canadeo. I know that sounds rough, but I can't figure a better way to put it. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob5150 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 The Bucs have never worn an alternate jersey, at least since they switched to the pewter scheme, although weren't there rumors about a possible pewtwr alternate a year or two ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 yeah, there were. the rumor was the Buccos wanted to wear pewter jerseys last year, but the league rejected them saying they were 'too neutral.' and iirc teh steelers wanted a gold jersey but at the time (before 02 season) the league was only allowing alternates to be worn at home, they apparently haven't brought it up since.and am i the only one who likes the pats' silver jerseys? on a speculative note, the Raiders and Lions in all silver wouldn't look too bad, and the 49 in all gold would look real sharp...i'm serious!

JamesCraven Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Didn't someone named JamesCraven suggest that the Pats wear a third jersey in RED with Pat Patriot on the sleeves? "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

TheYankeeSlayer Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 The Alt list isnt that impressive. It just seems to be bunch Of rehashed Alts from last year, with the exception of Baltimore. As a Seahawk Fan I want to see a Hawks alternate, but as A logo Fan, I don't think I like the possibilites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 and am i the only one who likes the pats' silver jerseys? you might be...The thing about the Patriots silver alts is that they are just the white jerseys with a little shine to them. They just look like dirty road jerseys. If they're gonna go the alt route, at least use an obviously different color, or go darker with the silver so you can see that it's different from the road. It would be just like the Colts calling their new jersey an alt, even though it's a slight color shift. The silver jerseys are so light the opponents has to wear its dark jersey, because you can't distinguish white and light silver very much.What the Pats should really do is wear a red alt, and not just a throwback.
