chrispw12 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I remember seeing a photo of the Panthers playing against the Orange Crush classic Broncos uniform and that had to have been from a 1995 or 1996 per season game since their first official game was in 1997 after the Broncos uniform change. Does anyone know of other instances where the uniform matchup happened only in the pre season as full pre season records are harder to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Here’s the game you’re talking about. https://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/controller/controller.php?action=single-weekly&game_id=1995_DEN-CAR^p2 The Gridiron Uniform Database keeps track of preseason games too, so that might be a good place to look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 How about all the Saints' 1969 preseason games? That's when they wore the black helmet, and then never again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 1997 Jags wore the drop-shadowed numbers in pre-season then changed them for the regular season due to legibility. The 11 was probably the best-looking number, as all the other numbers were way too narrow. Some numbers were spaced out way too wide: 6 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Echo Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Jim Kelly only wore blue pants as a Bill during the pre-season in 1986. After the pre-season that year they switched to white pants with the road uniform and wore those throughout the remainder of Kelly's career. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they planned on running with them but either the players had problems with the numbers, or the NFL decided they didn't work well on TV at that time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Cowboys didn't wear their road uniform in the 1995 Preseason and instead wore the white Double Star jersey for the final time but with solid socks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Weird that Dallas and Buffalo played each other twice in the same pre-season. I don't remember that happening.

The first NFL game I saw was between two teams who came into the league together, the Panthers and Jaguars. Was JAX the home teams? If they were, that's a WAH game.

Dallas was in white for both games, and Buffalo blue. The only time it was BUF in white and DAL in blue was a game in the early 1980s if I'm not mistaken.
