derami Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Can the Saints please, please wear white jersey and gold pants? It would be so much more aesthetically appealing against the Browns in brown jersey and white pants. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one game where they did wear gold pants, against the 49ers, I wished they wore the white or black pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so when the Steelers are competing for Super Bowls. During the down years, the merchants in the Strip District have tons of unsold Steelers merchandise.

So while it IS a throwback, it's to the wrong era. Unless they surprise us with Grey Facemasks on on Xmas. Honestly, the Steelers need to fix their Northwestern sleeve stripes by either scaling down or just simply pull a Detroit Lions. I don’t know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it would be a lot of yellow, but I think it would work just fine with the blue helmet and socks. Me too. Also the gradient stripe sucks all high hell. Why just a simple yellow like that garbage highlighter yellow Color. God, I miss the athletic gold color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'd prefer the Steelers in block numbers, personally, but I don't think the Futura is terrible. My main issue is with the slight italic. I've never been a fan of italicized number in football, and italicizing them defeats the whole"match the helmet numbers" thing. Maybe just de-italicize them, and it would be better. Or, just go back to the block numbers because they look better. (That 70's Steeler throwback needs a gray facemask. What, you thought I wasn't going to say it?) 6 1 http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know they aren't if they're throwing it back to 1972 this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S316 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I hope this is not true but I just saw that gridiron uniform database has the Vikings in all white uniforms at home against the Giants this Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsFan12 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 We are long overdue for an all-white vs. all-black matchup. Not many teams prefer to wear either of these combinations these days. 3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I was afraid the Jags were gonna go black pants, so I'll happily settle for all white vs all black instead of both teams in black pants.
