jc... Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 There's something comforting about classic teams and uniforms being covered in mud. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biased but come on. The pre-Super Bowl NFL and AFL championships are the equivalent of conference championships. So, I will continue to devalue this thread by offering what is not only the prettiest conference championship, but also a solid contender for the most beautiful uniform matchup in any football game ever: the 1979 NFC Championship Game. I take absolutely nothing away from a classic mud-covered Packers-Browns matchup. Still, the colours and designs on display in this Rams-Bucs game are just so powerfully gorgeous. Each of those uniforms is a gem on its own; putting the two of them together only magnifies each one's splendour. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugg no, those yucks uniforms are bad, and the creamsicle clashes horribly with the rams gold. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandpaJoe Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) In recent years, SBXLIII always stood out as a pretty game. Not that I like the Cardinals uniforms, but I think the shade of red blended beautifully with the Steelers gold. Raymond James Stadium had great lighting, also the field paint, the logo’s use of green was unique and extended to the walls surrounding the field. Couple that with NBC’s broadcast aesthetics and you had a great looking Super Bowl in my opinion. Not to mention, fantastic game and John Madden’s final call give this one bonus points Edited January 22, 2022 by GrandpaJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 This game should be good looking, but it looks so washed out in the lighting: That's what the NFL gets for putting a Super Bowl in the Metrodome of all places. The Metrodome might have been the ugliest of all multi-purpose domes, right? 9 Quote 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...

Other than the sky-dome is there another domed stadium that was dedicated to 2 sports. The trop had baseball and hockey for a short period until the lightning got their arena, but there hasn’t been another situation like that. Only special events that I don’t believe makes any stadium “multi-purpose” otherwise Fenway can be considered a multi-purpose stadium and everyone knows that’s far from the truth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "dome," but I meant "field." Silverdome, Three Rivers, Riverfront, Busch, even Olympic Stadium -- they all had some kind of charm. The Metrodome always looked so grim on TV. 1 Quote 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...

XXVII The stripe inconsistency on #67 is interesting. This was 1992/93, right? I thought they would be on top of things like this, given that this was more common in the 60s. PS. I like #67’s striping (what the Bills currently wear) compared to the red-helmet days. The red pops when outlined in blue, while the blue looks dull outlined in red. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red pops when outlined in blue, while the blue looks dull outlined in red. Good catch! Going thru ealy-90s Bills pics, it's as if there was no set striping. Like they just grabbed pants off the rack and said "good enough" Some blue/red/blue, others red/blue/red. Sometimes thin stripes, other stripes were thicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very first domed stadium was dedicated to two sports. It's kind of weird that they had Super Bowls in domes in Pontiac, Michigan and Minneapolis, Minnesota, but never in the Astrodome. When they did hold a Super Bowl in Houston it was in Rice's football stadium. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always felt like they were playing in the dark. Like why? Maybe they couldn't get any lights because the Colts were hoarding them. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonewars2008 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 My dark horse pick: Super Bowl XXXI! The uniforms are classic, the turf (however deadly) and field was vibrant, the fox broadcast is amazing and the logo caps it off with flavour! Also the Packers won so that keeps me going. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any air supported dome is horrible. The Metrodome, the RCA Dome, Silverdome, BC Place, Tokyo Dome, etc. They look neat from the outside, but the interior always looks horrible, and the lighting is always washed out, drab and depressing. They're the the Tropicana Fields of football stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
