This is why, for the sake of the team's future aesthetic, I understand why people on here would want the 49ers to stomp them this weekend. We need some sort of negative association that can be made with these things. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using that logic, if the Lions lose 42-7 they should BURN the white pants...but they won't.

My Chicago Bears haven't worn white over white for 15 years because the last time they did they got embarrassed by the Packers in Jay Cutler's first game (and Brian Urlacher was lost for the season).

The Cowboys should get rid of their white jerseys, then, since they've lost far more games wearing those than they have in their 'bad luck blue jerseys.' Especially against the Packers a couple of weeks ago... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttep Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 1 hour ago, Carolingian Steamroller said: Most of the Lions' history is TERRIBLE. Having a sense of history would only bring revulsion and self-loathing. Part of what Dan Campbell and his team have done is erase a lot of that history.

If they win on Sunday, I promise the all-whites will become a classic that people will clamor for in 20 years. I promise you that there will be an all-white jersey in their new set because it essentially became their primary road look in their best season since 1991. The outcome of this game won't change how the Lions and Lions fans view that look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting the Cowboys to get rid of their primary white jersey is like asking the Yankees to get rid of pinstripes or the Canadiens to get rid of their blue chest stripe. It's not gonna happen.

I think a white helmet is more likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not gonna happen. I know, I wasn't being serious anyway. But if teams truly believed in 'luck' uniforms then the Cowboys would ditch theirs since some of their biggest chokes have come in white jerseys. I always thought the Cowboys 'blue jersey curse' could have been explained by the fact that they didn't wear them enough, since they always wore white at home since 1964. QBs were used to throwing to the open guy in the white jersey since they wore them 12-15 times per year, forgetting that they were in their blue jerseys for once. I have no facts to back that up, but it sure sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they win it all this year, I'm guessing these just become the playoff pants full time. God I hope not. This whole uniform superstition is so idiotic. Do teams really think that what they wear is what causes them to win or lose? JFC it’s 2024, come on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanshepherd Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I’m no fan of the Lions’ pointless all whites, but at least it’s a cohesive look from the neck down. I’ll take the all whites every day of the week over those dumb white socks with white pants the Eagles wore during the last Super Bowl 1 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of stripes is the real reason those Lions white pants are a crime against humanity. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Weird thing I was thinking about…I know the nfl doesn’t count pants (or socks), but do YOU personally consider teams like Detroit and Baltimore are wearing alternate uniforms since they are not their default combo even though the jersey is the default one?

That's a good question. I'll answer that separately for each team. For the Lions, I'd say this has become the new default uniform for the white jersey. I would have said blue or silver before the season started, but now all white seems to be the default. For the Ravens, I'd say this could be considered an alternate since they normally wear white pants with the purple jersey. The Ravens did originally wear black with the purple jerseys in '96, but it's been white pants ever since. The other reason black pants could be considered alternate is the Ravens' alternate jersey is also black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopewellJones Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I actually kinda like the monolulu blue. Monochrome can be okay but there NEEDS to be pants stripes. The Lions all-white is so awful, but would at least be palatable with pants stripes. I will never understand the appeal of teams dressed in yoga pants. I mean never. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
