That’s :censored:ing ridiculous. I’ll never understand what it is about these teams picking the same teams to wear alts against over and over, especially uncommon nonconference opponents. Wonder if the Lions will counter with their throwbacks for a THIRD TIME. It's been like 12 years since the last time it happened though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That more than 40% of the games in which they’ve ever worn the red throwback are against the Lions (not counting the AFL legacy games they didn’t get to choose)? Yeah yeah, the teams don’t choose their unis based on any sort of weird little rules that we come up with around here, and the first two were thanksgiving, but the third is just a boggling fixation on putting it against one team that you have no history with. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I wish teams thought this way and looked back at previous matchups, it’s got to be a coincidence in most of these cases. The thought process was probably something like “Let’s wear it for that rivalry prime time game in Week 13 and then let’s pick a game earlier in the season. Let’s wear our regular uniforms for the home opener and then throwback the following game” (which in this case happens to be the Lions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothedistance Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Steelers are going to retire Francis Harris' number in the game against the Raiders. Would this game be good for the color rush? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this game be good for the color rush? I would imagine the Steelers would wear throwbacks but they haven't worn them in 2 seasons for some reason. I don't know if they were discontinued or not. EDIT: This is on the Gridiron Uniform Database. Not sure how true this is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 There’s pretty good odds that the Rams wear yellow pants tonight and reduce the blue, but there’s always that sliver of a chance they pull a fast one and wear blue pants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsFan12 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Here is the link to the new Falcons one. Couldn't post it yesterday. And the below confirms that the Jets will only wear green jerseys for a maximum of THREE home games . Already confirmed black for three (NE, CHI, JAC) and now white for two (BAL, CIN). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Glad we're getting that Atlanta throwbacks twice, those uniforms are awesome. It's a shame we won't see the Jets in their green jerseys that much. Their green over white combo in genuinely really good, at least when it comes to color blocking. We should see it more. 9 fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I think it's a common assumption at this point that the Falcons red pants don't exist (which is good), but I am eager to see if they ever mix in red socks, which were also part of the unveil. I think they would look amazing paired with black pants, home or road, or used to break up the leotard look if they wear black-on-black, which I am sure they will a couple of times like they did last season. Also, wild card, but I still heard through people connected to the organization that the entire gradient uniform was built around the idea of having a red helmet by 2022, and that the red shell would serve as the canvas for an alternate with a decal-swap, much like what Dallas has done with their white helmet this season. Not looking like that is going to be a thing, but who knows? Wonder if teams could tinker within these guard rails mid-season, or if everything we've seen so far is what we are going to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fouhy12 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 This probably doesn't mean anything, but the Dolphins posted this graphic showing them in aqua over white against NE in white over blue. We have not seen this matchup in the new set for Miami. I doubt they do anything but all white on Sunday, but you never know. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also their team color that they've been known for and is literally in their nickname. This decision is simply not acceptable from a branding standpoint. And not to mention, at least one of those three games will be all-green. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
