This photo shows the all blue as featuring the regular navy blue socks with white bottoms, not the color rush socks which are solid navy. In the three non-color rush games the Bears have worn navy over navy, they deployed their white road socks. For the record, I would be ok with the Bears just wearing the solid color rush socks full time, even with white pants. I think we're well past the days of white bottom socks for football and at least this would maintain the all important triple stripe pattern and avoid the dreaded yoga pants look. They would still look like yoga pants, just yoga pants with stripes at the bottom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Today’s Madden patch included some of the new alt helmets. Holy heck, the Panthers’ black helmets with black jerseys, gray pants and black socks is a tremendous look. That should be their default home set.

The grey pants would just seem way out of place to me, and extremely top heavy. I’d need to see it for my mind to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the Saints alternate helmet with the all black and it looks way better. No idea why they couldn't do this if the Panthers were doing it. Also, I am very sorry about doing this to the Bears but I just had to see it. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky1324 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I didn't realize Madden had the undershirts showing as well. Shows just how prevalent that is. What a shame. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOVER Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Hopped on Madden last night to try these out, and they're all awful. The Cowboys & Bucs throwback helmets will make sense and work, but these others just do not. Even the Panthers, with Black Jerseys & Silver Pants, don't look quite right, because the Black/Blue logo on the helmet doesn't pop due to lack of White details or outline, the way that the Falcons helmet in the Deion-era did; there's not enough contrast on the helmet to compliment the jersey. I hope the NFL reels this in after a few years, as teams see that this just dilutes their brands. EDIT: The Giants helmet does look great, but again, it's because it's a throwback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 You know what baffles me? The NFL tripped all over itself with the “Color Rush” program, which not only inadvertently made NFL uniform rules more ambiguous but was a failure because they quickly had teams wearing all white with white socks b/c of the issues like what we had with Bills-Jets. Move on. But instead of burying it, they created a monster with these arbitrary rules (can’t wear alternate helmet unless it’s with your “color rush” uniform or throwback or alt”. What does that even mean? The rules are being applied either. I think a no-brainer is for the league to get all 32 teams on board with throwbacks and have throwback games for all of the Thursday night games. Let teams pick a home and away throwback, and let them rotate them every 2 years (like how soccer does with home and road kits). I guess the Ravens & Texans would feel a bit left out, but I still think it’s a way better idea than doing the alternate helmet program and getting all of these odd, redundant and lame looks. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to choosing the socks to wear with dark pants; White with a stripe > solid color that contrasts > solid white socks > solid color that matches the pants. 10 1 http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens, Texans, Panthers, Chiefs, and Commanders don't have usable or relevant* throwbacks that they can wear. That's 15% percent of the league that would be left out. *Kansas City switches a facemask and helmet logo for thier throwback, but that's not a throwback jersey the league can sell (which would be their only motivation to do a league-wide Classic Week), and Washington's situation is well documented. Only thing they can throwback to is a late 50's leather helmet and a stripeless, single colored number jersey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league had the opportunity with that for the 100th season, and they failed to follow up on it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
