SportsFan12 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Titans have overcome their fear of wearing this combo on a natural grass surface. Hate that they gotta tease us with just two weeks of baby blue pants two seasons in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Star Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I think the Saints are stupid for letting little weakling design their black alt helmets. They should of just modernized the 1969 black helmets, 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'm so glad I see other folks acknowledging the Lions Stafford era uniforms. They were PERFECT. Full striping agreement and the numbers followed the same pattern, with a very Lion-esque custom font that had way more life than the current one. The addition of black in 2003 wasn't bad, it just wasn't right out of the gate. It helped differentiate them from the Cowboys and also defines the edges around honolulu blue and white much better than silver. The logo was also massively improved. That was the best the Lions have looked since I have been alive. 4 1 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other small note: For the 9 years they wore those uniforms they had ZERO alternate looks. No black jersey. No blue pants. Only once (Thanksgiving 2010) did they even wear the 1930's throwbacks. For 143 games, they wore two looks. Absolutely remarkable for the modern age. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuordr Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Yesterday, the New England Patriots posted on Twitter the Patriot Pat helmet with a red facemask. But then they deleted the post. I wonder if someone let the cat out of the bag too early and they were hoping to surprise the fans on Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I understand, facemasks aren't really under the guidelines of the NFL's super convoluted and ad-hoc uniform policies. Like, if you switch a facemask, it doesn't count as a separate alternate? Isn't that how we got the Bills and the Jets moving to different mask colors the last several years, or did those play into color rush and i am missing something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it was a nice look when they wore those in the early 90's, I don't know of any special connection of the red mask design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice nod to the 2000s' black jersey, but both of these infringe upon Carolina's established brand territory. They didn't need to exist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsFan12 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 It's looking like there won't be a pewter alt game this year, which I am fine with, although it would've made sense to wear them against the Saints from a superstition standpoint. Bucs are 0-3 against the Saints in red jerseys since 2020. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a connection, but it's probably worth noting that 1) the team already has red facemasks and 2) they had a surprise debut earlier this season. It would not shock me to see this happen. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the best the Lions have looked since I have been alive. The black really did a LOT to separate and clarify the colors. And they added black at a minimal level...primarily as an outline. At a time of black-for-black's-sake changes, it was done very conservatively. I always felt they looked classy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsFan12 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hell yeah. Should be black socks but at least it's not teal. This partially makes up for the Dolphins Lions game when there was no blue or aqua. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expected it here and wouldn't have minded it since they've worn purple against Denver numerous times over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
