BBTV Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Interesting it says they "could choose" to wear white or blue. Does that mean that orange is like a neutral color? Or I wonder if that's just the wrong way to word it, and they asked permission to wear blue and were granted because nobody cares about the preseason games. I'd think that if you could "choose" to wear your colors in Denver, other teams already would have - for example, I'm sure the Eagles would have worn their midnight green last year. Would've been plenty of contrast. 1 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I hate that we are so particular as uni nerds that whenever there's an explanation from a scribe or someone else about uniforms, there's almost always something that doesn't make sense. This person is saying they wore silver pants so their white ones won't get dirty, when their default pant is another shade of silver. I want to say something, but I have learned after many years to always let it go lol 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsFan12 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Yeah, this isn’t making much sense. They get to choose against Denver in orange, but HAVE to wear white against the Chargers in powder blue, which is an even lighter color? We’ve even seen them wear navy against the Chargers in powder that one Thanksgiving game. It seems that Detroit’s gray Color Rush is treated similarly. We’ve seen teams wear both white and colored jerseys against it on multiple occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only halfway logic I can conjure up is that both teams' color jerseys are two tones of the same hue (blue) whereas orange and blue contrast quite nicely. Beyond that...yeah, I got nothing.

I was thinking that as well about the color tones until I recalled that that exact pairing was allowed for a nationally-televised Thanksgiving matchup several years back.

There will never not be this assumed level of ineptitude you have to anticipate whenever uniforms come up in the media. There will always be something demonstrably incorrect, or at least an air of naivety you can cut with a knife. It’s like, are you blind?? Do your eyes not see exactly what is going on in front of them?? No, it’s actually just called “being a normal person..” It seems insane to me, but that’s just the nature of a particular manner of fixation, I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell if they want to wait to announce them for a specific game, or if they're just keeping it low-key and they'll show up wearing them on a random Sunday. I'm also not going to be shocked if we see them on the road before we see them at home, that seems like something the players would like. Can get the ICY road look and then the TOUGH all-blue at home. Also, got the new Madden and the Patriots "home" pant option is missing. You can only wear the "road" pants which are the blues. I assume they will add the new silver pants once worn in real life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume 6 is the new pant while the ones with less red are the old silver pants from the last set, kind of like how the Patriots have accidentally mixed and matched the blue pants in 2020 2 Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathysphere Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hell yeah, the only yoga pants look that I like. And one of my favorite matchups overall. Between this year and last year, their preseason MO clearly revolves around wearing black pants on natural grass and white pants when on turf, for laundry reasons (which makes sense for preseason rosters, though the Titans also have been doing this fairly consistently throughout the regular season, which is a pretty cheapo measure IMO). Bringing back the running tally to see if they lead the league in combos used again: HoFG: WBB PW1: TBB PW2: TBB 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 So thanks to the keen eye of @MNtwins3, I went through the photos from that scrimmage to see what I could find.

I'm baffled that they have been so bad at transitioning from the old uniform to the new. In 2020 multiple players had the old color rush pants or jersey that the new set is based on. Their practice jerseys are still based on the old set. I have never seen any professional team this bad at getting rid of an old uniform set when they upgrade to a new one 4 Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Equipment logo survived into the Nike era for practice stuff. Not sure when (or if) it was officially retired.
