In the case of the Browns they were on the road and wore orange pants. They won, so they're gonna stick with that look. Same with the Ravens and purple pants, though the Ravens pretty evenly split what pants they wore on the road, with the purple becoming the go to look at the end of the season and during the playoffs. Tampa is more similar to Baltimore than Cleveland. (Though Cleveland spread out the pants choices fairly evenly as well, the clearly went with superstition. ) Tampa front loaded the season going white on white the most during the first half of the season. They only wore w/w once in the second half of the season choosing white over pewter more often than not. They wore Red/Pewter last week as they were designated the color top team. This week they're the white top team and are sticking with their last half of season preference of white over pewter. When it comes to superstition its more so what jersey top/ combo that dictates the look. See Pittsburgh superbowl run to Detroit, and also Patriots choosing white against Philly instead of blue. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jp1409 2,007 Posted January 17 The Browns uniform change has to be one of the best ever. These white over orange with matching striped socks are simply stunning. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A little too warm for me. I'm looking forward to Buffalo/KC next week. Bills/Chiefs is always a beautiful matchup, and it'll be that much exciting given the stakes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RayFinkle 641 Posted January 17 Gorgeous uni matchup. No painted endzones for the Chiefs this playoff season. The yellow endzones are so sweet. This sites effing ads drive me insane!!!! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dont care 6,868 Posted January 17 The browns orange is far too red. I didn’t think this until I saw them next to the chiefs red and saw how close they were to each other. They really need to go back to the old orange. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one big stumble of this redesign was keeping the sunburned orange. That, and not going back to the clearly superior gray facemask. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DNAsports 6,125 Posted January 17 The more I think about it, the more I’d love a TB-CLE Super Bowl with either of these uniform combinations However, obviously Brady & the Bucs need to get through New Orleans and the Browns are currently clawing their way back against Kansas City 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PERRIN 991 Posted January 17 Up until today's game, I was pulling for a Browns-Saints Super Bowl solely for the possibility of the Saints' color rush set against the Browns' brown jerseys over orange pants. That would have been an easy contender for nicest-looking Super Bowl in years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gosioux76 2,566 Posted January 17 I’d like the Saints look much more if they just darkened the shade of gold on the helmet ever so slightly. It’s far too light. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManillaToad 1,344 Posted January 18 The NFL is very strict on no alternate uniforms in the Super Bowl. I don't think there's ever been an exception besides the 1994 49ers which was special circumstances. I would prefer the Saints in their alts instead of all-black, but it's very unlikely 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[pic] It was an alt that they were granted permission to promote to the home uniform for that year. They wore it at home 5 times in the reg. season, and at home in the divisional round. The only other unis they had that year were the white-on-white and the all-yellow color rush 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AgentColon2 2,562 Posted January 18 Since we had the red super bowl last year I’m really hoping for a Packers/Bills(in blue pants) to switch things up. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would have been an easy contender for nicest-looking Super Bowl in years. While they look awesome on their own, it drives me crazy that it's basically the same uniform template in different colors. One of the main reasons I don't really want the Saints or Dolphins to move back to this template full time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
