I'm sure I'll be shown some example that shows me wrong, but there's no way any women's team would wear those pants.

It's the exact same picture

 

 

On a side note, the pants on the bottom picture are straight up see through. 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.

They'd be smart enough to wear white sliding shorts instead of black or orange.

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?

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.

WR/KR Clarence Verdin wore #2 for the Falcons in 1994...all of the 80s were taken up, but strangely no one on the team wore a number in the teens.

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

Two A. Rodgers. Now that caught me off guard.

 

Too bad FNOB isn't a thing anymore. 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.

The Jets drafted two “Michael Carter”s this year.

Wow red pants. Reminds me of their best uniform ever!!

Unpopular opinion, but I don’t understand the love for this uniform. It looks like the Oilers and the Bills combined.
