In fact, I've probably made posts adamantly against any notion of color v color games. But as I get older, I've backed off of some of my hard-line stances, and allow for some exceptions to my "rules". This particular matchup, in a championship game, would be one of them (provided the Lions weren't mono-blue, because I'd never support anything that allows that stupid combo.) 4 Quote "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."

ManillaToad Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Color vs color would be nice sometimes but I think it would be another pandora's box where you're going to get too much bad to go with the good, with no way of going back. Similar to the alternate helmets 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to do some gimmicky color vs color game in the regular season, be my guest. Have fun with it. But in the playoffs, I'm a hardline traditionalist. I just want primary uniforms in traditional combinations (i.e. no monochrome or leggings). Bringing the color vs color gimmick to a playoff game would cheapen it to me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Only people on here would notice this, but it looks to me like the shade of silver on the Lions' pants stripes is noticeably different compared to the jersey stripes. The silver on the pants has much more of a warm tint to it. It's another reason why silver pants would be preferable with their home jerseys.

The Lions jersey numbers also seem a bit darker gray as well. Sort of the same issue the Saints have with their gold numbers on the black jerseys. They never seem to match the other golds.

Sodboy13 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 We have just seen a running back, on 3rd Down in a playoff game, get slowed down just enough to be stopped short of a 1st because a defender was able to get a hold of, pull, and tear his extra-long undershirt. So that trend may start fading. 4 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

So that trend may start fading. I want to believe that, but that's not the first time I've seen that happen. The tightness of current jerseys will override that issue for undershirts. Until the NFL starts enforcing tucking in shirts, I don't think being slowed or tackled due to an untucked shirt will change anything.

fouhy12 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 So I'm assuming these are the uniforms we'll see next weekend: Now, the Lions have changed up their uniforms every time they've lost in them, and they did lose in the all-white last time they wore them. I think we see them anyway, but the blue pants instead wouldn't surprise me. The Chiefs would be in white over red with a win. Not sure if the Bill would go with white over white with blue socks or white over blue with white socks, but they won their last two road games in those combos. 3 Quote fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grey pants seem out of place since the Ravens don't use grey anywhere else in their color scheme. However, they sort of fit the generally dark color scheme (probably better than the gold pants). How about purple helmets, purple jerseys, and mustard gold pants? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomba Tomba Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 96 was better because the pants had stripes Could prolly bring it back now, white with thin gold to match the numbers 9 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushy Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 As someone who doesn’t like either team, is there a better uniform matchup than Bills vs Chiefs ? I hate both as a Dolphins fan but love their jerseys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Whoever dresses the lions must have gotten inspiration from the saints. All they need is the silver or gold pants, maybe sprinkle in the colored pants once in a while, but instead choose the color unitard for home and the white tracksuit for road. Then make sure you also wear the same color socks. Sad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the Ravens’ black pants even more in 1997 and 1998: I would’ve loved to see Baltimore wear the black pants with their purple jerseys at least once then, or would put stripes on their pants now.
