2023 NFL Season week by week uniform match-up combos: From HOF Game to Super Bowl LVIII

[SportsFan12]

A lot going on here:

 

https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-release-2023-jersey-schedule

 

Black jerseys vs. Houston for the first time ever!

Black jerseys vs. Dallas at home for the first time since '07.

 

It says black at Seattle Week 3 and white at home for Monday night Week 2. I almost feel like these are flip-flopped and that was an error. Otherwise Seattle is likely wearing white at home for the first time ever.

 

Tampa once again is wearing white at home vs. Carolina late in the season. Hopefully that doesn't mean no red jerseys before that game.

 

Blue jersey only being worn on the road once again.

The press release says black at Seattle, too, which makes me think the Seahawks are wearing action green and the Panthers are indeed wearing black in a color vs color game.

This came out not that long ago. https://operations.nfl.com/media/nppjkdp1/2023-record-and-fact-book.pdf

 

Go to pages 14-18. It tells you of the future schedules up until 2030.

 

For the 17th out of conference same place finishers games, 2025-2028 are a repeat of 2021-2024. But in 2029 that's when things being to change up. If you believe that or not.

 

I wanted to post this in the changes thread, but thought it would be better here.

Actually, Carolina wore black against the Cowboys in 2006. The 2007 game was the blue jerseys.

Either way, this is a case where I'm happy Dallas isn't wearing navy because even when these teams play in Dallas, Carolina seems to avoid the black jerseys and go with blue instead. Happened 2015 and 2021.

The Seahawks are having their 10 year Super Bowl reunion against the Panthers so maybe they decided to wear the same uniform combo from the Super Bowl (white/navy) for this game. Hopefully it is just an error on the panthers end though because I think it’s cool that the Seahawks are the only team to never go WAH.

The Panthers have mentioned it in several posts, so it looks to be legit. That would look incredibly weird if Seattle did that.

Wasn't 2015 forced because of the color rush promotion? That year a few teams volunteered. Back then it was mandatory. But then color rush games were done away with after 2017. Which probably lead to the limit change in 2018.

I'm guessing Seattle is doing the same thing that the Giants did when they played the Rams in 2021? Is it possible that the Panthers are doing the same thing when the Cardinals wore black in Seattle in 2020?

I had another dream. The Cowboys wore their navy blue jersey at the Chargers. In my dream LAC's uniforms were all white, and they looked like how they look prior to 2020.

[SportsFan12]

Game 1 of the preseason and we already have a team in white pants and white socks. 

[MrAstrodome]

Damn it Jets. Why did y'all had to ruin a good thing.

[ruttep]

The all white absolutely sucks, but I think it's still marginally better than the black yoga pants

[SportsFan12]

I miss when the Jets looked like this in 2020 for most of their white jersey road games.

[Brave-Bird 08]

I hate to say that my brain has adjusted to seeing all white uniforms, even though I don't like it. It's kind of like how soccer kits have for some reason shifted to being the same color head to toe much more often than not. Annoying, uninteresting. 

 

It's just going to make the beauty of the throwbacks even more apparent when they're worn, which might just lead to more teams shifting back to a traditional aesthetic. Finger's crossed.

That remains a legit great combination.

This too.

Yup, this is another case of a uniform not being as bad as people want to believe it is, but because they wear stupid combos all the time, people develop a negative opinion of the team's aesthetic in general and want a change.

Ditto for these two, especially the latter, which we only have gotten once in the regular season.

 

Attention to sock details always pays off.

The black face mask just doesn't work for the jets. It'd make more sense to add black to the logo. Or just drop black entirely, they don't need it!!!!

[gothedistance]

It sounds like the Texans are wearing their red jerseys with red helmets 3 times this year. One of those games might be the Steelers since they are going to honor JJ Watt. The Texans aren't going to wear the all navy color rush this year given the fact about the red jerseys. They have Arizona listed as the deep steel blue game, that's likely going to be with the regular uniform set. Houston has worn all navy against the Browns the last 3 times they hosted Cleveland. The game against Cleveland might be a red jersey game instead.

 

Since the Packers all green alternate/throwback was released in 2021, they have worn them for the latest October game. This year the latest October game is against the Minnesota Vikings. But Green Bay has not worn their throwback uniforms against an NFC North rival ever since the team carried throwbacks in 2010. I think the all green uniform game will be the Rams or Chargers.

 

Teams often wear the same alternate/throwback against the same divisional foes. The Eagles have always worn all black against the Giants, save for a couple of games. The 49ers have worn all white uniforms against the Seahawks in Seattle since 2019. I noticed that New Orleans has worn the all white color rush/throwbacks against Tampa Bay ever since the Buccaneers introduced their current uniforms in 2020.

I really hope it’s the Rams of those two. The last three trips to Lambeau they wore blue pants. If Green Bay wears all-green, maybe they switch to yellow pants finally.

 

Pack wore throwbacks against the Chargers in 2015, so I would like to see their regular green jerseys this time, ideally with the Chargers in white on white.
