DCarp1231 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I’ve had a weird hankering to start tracking the usage of different socks per NFL team. No real reason, just something to pass time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the NFL, I personally don't mind Baltimore's black pants without stripes, as long as the socks are contrasting. OK - but since Michigan and Notre Dame aren't in the NFL, they really don't belong in this discussion. As @oldschoolvikings pointed out, since they never seem to wear contrasting socks, this is out. Frankly, that you have to qualify HOW the stripeless pants might look good is an indication that they, in fact, don't look good. It's where I sit.

I wasn't sure if your comment was NFL specific or about football aesthetics in general, hence mentioning college teams. And I think just about everything about a uniform looking good is qualified on other parts of the uniform looking good, good design brings them all together. My point was that, to me, the solid black pants aren't necessarily the problem with Baltimore's uniform. Black pants over black socks looks bad, but a different color pants over black socks or black pants over white socks are both good looking solutions to the problem in my eyes. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if thats the criteria you can't really have a discussion when there are I believe 2 instances of teams wearing pants without stripes, and both are leotards.

The geographical name of a sports team clearly is meant to convey where the team represents, not some pedantic coordinates of where the stadium is. Using the points you just made I could just as easily say the Jets/Giants play in the NYC Metropolitan area. Are people still genuinely hung up on this? I thought it was just something they said to troll fans of those teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Francisco Bay Area 49ers Los Angeles County Chargers/Rams Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metroplex Cowboys Interior Tampa Bay Buccaneers Whole mouthfuls aren’t they? Point is, every team is bound to be disingenuous of where they play. Only team off the top of my head to even embrace that is the Patriots. Sure, the entire region is “New England”, but they play in Foxborough. So by the logic presented from OP, they should be the Foxborough Patriots, no?

Not sure why that is the case. I'm asking for where they look good, and if they need 'help' to arguably look good, then they still don't look good. It's where I sit.
