It really irks me that Nike and other companies make their fabric as thin as possible (to the point of being see through) and charge the same amount of money to produce them on field and commercially. I know they have their word salad explanations about space age polymers and moister wicking technology, but the end product feels insubstantial in your hands compared to the uniforms of 10 years ago I've always thought the Saints were the worst offender of this. 22 and 67 there have especially see-through pants, and in different lighting (and heaven forbid wet weather), they look like they're barely there. 4 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing I don't get about the modern push to have this ultra thin ultra light uniforms. The players end up wearing two layers anyway. Doesn't that just negate the ".4564 percent lighter" effect? Why not just build in the compression sleeves, tights and what have you, into the material, and not market uniforms so thin you tell the player's religion? 11 http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but at least the players have the choice as to what kind of base layer they wear, as opposed to either thick-ass old-school pants or something that's built-in but not necessarily what they want. They've basically took the old-school football pant and made it a series of customizable parts underneath a top shell. Too bad it looks like crap. I remember back in my day when I got my first "girdle" with the oversized hip pads and butt pad, and the super thick pants with the slots for the thigh and knee pad. I hated those so much, and would really have preferred if they had the biker-shorts with the pads in them like they do now. So I can appreciate the ability to tailor to your preferences... but it still looks like crap. 6 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

WRs weren't allowed to wear 10-19 until 2004. It's possible Verdin got a waiver because all of the 80s were in use. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players were wearing sliders way before pants got thinner. It’s necessary or you get so much bunching and chaffing that it would be uncomfortable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because then you can’t sell compression sleeves, tights, and what have you. Duh. In all seriousness, there’s too much personal preference at play to build baselayers into a uniform piece. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if there was something in the CBA protecting players’ baselayer choices.

BBTV Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Not sure rumors like that are even worth thinking about as long as the 1-helmet rule is in effect, and given that they've already voted on this year's changes (including one to the uniform code), there's no reason to think it's going away in 2021. 2 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

fouhy12 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I read that as them thinking about adding red pants to wear on the road, not creating a 1980's throwback set entirely. 9 fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young to remember when the Rams did it with Jack and Jim Youngblood. But I always looked forward to seeing the Broncos when they had Doug and Dave Widell. I also used to wonder what the Bears would have done if they ever got Mark Carrier the WR when they had Mark Carrier the DB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
