Pabig93 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Ravens should be in white pants. These stripeless black monstrosities are so hard to look at. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I shouldn't like Baltimore's yoga pants, but, for some reason, they've always been an exception to me. I think this game looks tremendous all around. The darkness of Baltimore's looks against the bright red and yellow works really well and played outdoors on a grass field in gloomy weather just sets the tone perfectly for playoff football. 12 Quote fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timjameskohler Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 It's funny, in that footage from 1957 the Lions' pants almost look white. So today's matchup won't actually look that different. Don't get me wrong though. Those things need stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackyriderfan14 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I know it’s not a popular opinion but the Purple and Black combo just works for the Ravens. Stripes would improve it for sure but it looks better than white pants 9 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind some stripes on the pants either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOLAPelicans23 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 What is the big deal about Baltimore having stripes on the black pants? What has always stood out to me about them is their simplicity and versatility. The B gets it away from the blehness that many teams suffer from with monochrome pants (Commanders/Lions/Jags), but they can be worn with any jersey. Adding what I would assume would be a purple/white/purple stripe to the black pants would remove the versatility and make it stick out like a sore thumb. The pants stripe is already different from the numbers with their lack of gold, and it's my gripe with the purple pants Baltimore has now. Stripes do not equal good. 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Ravens necessarily need stripes on the black pants like other people may, they make it work as-is. But I think a solid purple stripe or two could maintain the "versatility" you speak of, since it would blend pretty well into the black, but it would get more of their signature color into a pair of pants that is pretty much devoid of it right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 We could be getting a perfect matchup of silver and blue vs gold and red, but Detroit has to be dumb 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCreep Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Lions have been so dumb in the playoffs. First they want all blue but now all white. Not even blue socks? Why are NFL teams so bad at this??? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fouhy12 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The Lions and Chiefs both have patches on their right chest where the Super Bowl patch typically goes, so we're looking at two non-traditional patch placements in all likelihood.

ZapRowsdower8 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) So what are the chances that KC goes with white jerseys? Look, you and I know that uniform superstition is dumb, but the Chiefs lost to the Lions in red already this year and they won two road playoff games. These are typically the situations that lead to teams wearing white in the Super Bowl. Kansas City doesn’t really strike me as one of those teams that cares either way however. Edit: I want to add to this post about superstitions not being real, that I definitely cursed the Lions by posting this.

Along with the Super Bowl win from last year. If KC goes with the white jerseys, then we'll get to see the uniform matchup we didn't get to see because in 2019 the Lions wore their throwbacks. I don't know if Reid is in to the superstition. But he may stick with the red jerseys. And it would make them feel at home on a divisional rivals home field/stadium.

Silver_Star Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 10 hours ago, LunarLeo said: Something like this. They even have the same font Not athletic gold, mustard gold. The mustard gold they have on right now. The Ravens can benefit off that while Minnesota can be the purple helmets, purple jerseys, white pants, and whatever socks team so that the Ravens can be a dark purple, dark purple, mustard gold, and dark purple scheme. Look at the Rams and Chargers. The Rams have a different shade of gold (God forbid their highlighter yellow colors which is nasty) and the Chargers have a different shade of blue (UCLA blue).
