Especially considering that we'd likely get this with 2023 NFL uniform decisions: all black is for 2 home games, and when we play teams that wear white at home(Bucs, Cowboys..etc.) Expand Falcons have dialed back the all black . It's not even a bad look. Black over white is the preferred choice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like it to me. The only times this season they've worn black over white were at Tampa and at Tennessee. All the home games, besides the two throwback games, have been all black. According to GUD, they're slated to go all black at home again this week. 12 minutes ago, LunarLeo said: It's not even a bad look. To say I disagree with this would be an understatement. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would look so much better with these uniforms. Something like this, but with a black face mask... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely wouldn’t be opposed. I want it to become a 17-times-a-year trend. 9 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll even allow them to keep the white color rush pants to mix and match. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike gave them the Reebok Penguins treatment. Oh they did. Not a great job either. It looks ugly, flat, and boring. I never was a fan of metallic khaki. It's good when you are wearing khaki as a pants or shirt, but sports uniforms do not need such and uninspiring color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttep Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 How was dazzle fabric on NFL uniforms possible in 2011 but not in 2023 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team could wear metallic pants and get them from Ripon or whoever is the legacy supplier that simply sews the swoosh on jerseys (the Packers still use them... right?) They choose not to.

(probably) the real reason: Dazzle fabric doesn't fit completely perfectly into Nike's pre-established set of colors and materials when they took over the NFL contract in 2012, and when they told teams like the Saints about this, the teams made zero fuss about it and so Nike didn't bother researching how to make a lighter dazzle fabric. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Houston, the Texans, wore red socks with that combo. Another person a while back said how the league used to look better in those old days. A lot of teams don't seem to care now, they just do whatever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the possibility that the Jets could change up their uniforms again. It was talked about some time ago in this thread that the Jets wearing white at home more could be that they will switch to new uniforms. This was the same with the Browns and Titans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 On 12/8/2023 at 11:03 AM, Michael Bolton said: Potentially unpopular take, but even as a uniform detail enthusiast, I find these reveal tweets absolutely cringey and just stupid. What other league in the world tweets out "here's what color our helmet, pants and SOCKS will be next weekend." I miss the days when you found out what teams were wearing when they ran out onto the field on Sunday/Monday. Throwback announcements once or twice a year are fine but these "helmet -- jersey -- pants -- socks" detail announcements make my eyes roll further back in my head than human anatomy allows. You also need the zoomer blaccent word vomit in there, "you already know we tried to tell 'em [that we'd be wearing blue pants with white socks, apparently]" 1 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders pants aren't what they use to be under Reebok regardless of the fact they are still shiny. The issue is that whatever is going on with Nike isn't shiny enough as far as I'm concerned. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
