Eszcz21 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Thankfully the Lions are wearing their throwbacks based off the reveal of the John Madden patch all teams will be wearing tomorrow.

Don't know why they ever moved away from that tradition. It's wayy to outdated to wear on a regular basis, but Thanksgiving is one of the best days of the football year to break out a throwback. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttep Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Just now, ManillaToad said: The overall feel of the Cardinals fits Thanksgiving Could not agree less. Thanksgiving has a throwback feel to it. While the Cardinals have been around forever, they (a) have been irrelevant for most of it, arguably even more so than the Lions. and (b) only wear mono uniform combos. Until that changes, they should not be given any special event or primetime games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoHawks Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I know this will be an unpopular opinion in here but if there was going to be a holiday tradition involving the Cardinals it should be on Christmas against the Seahawks with the cardinals in all red and Seahawks in all neon green and they alternate the home team every year.

gothedistance Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 3 hours ago, ruttep said: But if you're worried about the traditional Thanksgiving vibe, the evening game should feature teams in throwback uniforms. This year, the 49ers understood the assignment. The Seahawks very much did not. San Francisco wears the white throwback/color rush (whatever you want to call it) at Seattle regardless of situation. It has locked on to their games at Lumen Field. It's the same thing the Seahawks liked to do when Seattle visited the Cardinals in Arizona.

That’s right. I forgot about their throwbacks. I’m hoping Washington wears burgundy pants at least. Best case scenario is they bust out the mythical gold pants. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure neon green is a Christmas color, though. Christmas green has to be kelly green or darker (I'd say the ideal Christmas green is a forest green closer to what the Packers wear). So to me, your hypothetical scenario would just feature year after year of two horrible monochrome looks against one another. Sorry man, I don't see it. That doesn't exactly fill me with holiday spirit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb_girod Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The Saints just posted a couple photos of JPP on their social media. Oh look, the gold pants DO in fact exist… One thing that bugs me and I’ve never understood is why the Saints ALWAYS wear gold pants in practice and the preseason, but they refuse to ever wear them in the regular season. It’s like they’re always quietly trolling us… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, in the early 60's, when the Cowboys were wearing those white helmets and contrasting sleeves, the Washington football team wore some gold pants on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Once again, the helmet finish makes the red too dark. If the "candy" finish is a must for you, then they need to bump the red up a shade (from 187 C to 186 C / 185 C) to compensate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
