I'd be fine if they went that route again and then had a black alt jersey. But please don't make it the primary color. Played Madden recently and put the Jets in the following: 80s helmet / Color Rush jersey / 80s pants / 80s socks and it looked great. Especially since Madden made the green helmet match the color rush jersey perfectly. This set is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Jaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. Liberty green has too much blue in it. Generally, multiple shades are best when they’re the same base color, just lighter and darker. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Those jerseys had a tendency to look too light under direct sunlight, lighter than the helmet. I assume that would be an easy fix now. That said, I would love to see a slightly more complex version of those end up as their new uniforms next year. A black alt is fine as long as it doesn't overtake green as the primary - and please, no black pants, because the players would think they looked (fire emoji) with the green jerseys when in fact they'd look terrible.

mmajeski06 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I remember these were sold in the early-2000s. Think a friend gave me a Curtis Martin version of this, but I don't think I ever wore it.

I do think that color could work, though, provided it was paired with a kelly green that strayed more toward the cooler and darker sides of that spectrum.

That said, I think purple is my least favorite dark color to pair with black, though I think the Ravens do it pretty well. Purple is pretty much the only dark color I like with black. I think it goes back to the 1995 Northwestern football team that went to the Rose Bowl. That school has always combined those two colors tastefully. The Ravens...I feel a less-blue shade might work better. That guy in the navy suit jacket with black pants looks okay...but in practice... Butler is the only school that has ever made that combo look good (men's hoops) but even then it was wholly unneeded. Think of how West Virginia has at times tried to force black on a navy/yellow scheme. Then you have dark green. Hawaii, of course, but also the North Texas Mean Green, who have inexplicably often worn black uniforms despite their name. That drives me nuts. And marroon/burgundy. Stanford is the most egregious here. Like UNT, their main color is their team name. Also like UNT, they often wear black despite that - and even though it doesn't contrast well with their actual color. That kind of thing drives my OCD up a wall. Sorry for the rant.

I think using white as the third color weakens it for me. That’s why I like West Virginia’s (though their use of it only on the sleeve caps isn’t ideal) and Baltimore’s use of it better than, say, Hawaii’s or Northwestern’s approach. The gold accents rather that just white make the look a lot richer for me.

We'll need a better illustration before I can believe they're wearing fashion jerseys - those look like green jerseys - Howard is certainly wearing a green jersey. Maybe the lighting makes the body look a little darker than the collar, but I'm not sure at all the other four are black. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
