That was back when Nike screwed up the Eagles jerseys and they could only wear black or white until Week 10. Nice catch. I forgot about that debacle.

dont care Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 57 minutes ago, Old School Fool said: Off the top of my head it happened in the 1994 and 2009 HOF Games. Then there's numerous other games, I remember the Panthers and Eagles have worn alternates in the preseason, last year the Cardinals wore the black helmet for a game, and the Colts wore a throwback I think during the 2011 Preseason. Yea but did these instances require alternate helmets that would require much more additional storage space than additional jerseys that will take up maybe 2 whole boxes and can be reused for different players. Helmets need to be custom fit and broken in before playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmets need to be custom fit and broken in before playing. I listed 4 examples of there being alternate helmets. Whatever fitting and breaking in that needs to be done can be done. If teams want to then they will. Also that Falcons throwback is amazing. 1994: 2009: Note the Bills weird off white helmet color which was a weird issue for teams for awhile. 2010: Colts in white at home 2022: This matchup SUCKS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsFan12 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The Browns are wearing all-white for the ONE game on their schedule I specifically wanted to see them wear brown for: Week 6 vs. the 49ers. Why must this always happen with inter conference matchups I'm excited for? This is what we got in 2015: And this is what I was fully expecting and hoping for this year: They're wearing the white helmet three times, which means at least we won't see the pointless Color Rush all-brown look anymore. I guess that's why they felt the need to shove it down our throats last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that game 2 years ago was when ARZ was in the uniform that they are leaving behind. I don't mind because the Cardinals have new uniform sets. But yeah, I am disappointed about the SF game. I wish it was like the 2007 game. You wanna know something? I don't know if you're aware. A lot of teams have worn their alternate or throwbacks against the 49ers. If you count what teams have an opponent wearing their third or fourth jersey against them, the 49ers are the most of all teams. After them it would be the Giants. Good thing it's a 17 game season now. There's a chance to recover that lost opportunity. Maybe when the 49ers and Browns meet again by drawing each other? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see someone who has the same mindset about these things Yeah, hopefully they finish in the same place in 2024 and the Niners visit again, but the odds of that happening aren’t great. This actually happened with the Bears and Browns though. Cleveland wore white throwback against them at home in 2021 and is now hosting them again in a non throwback game two years later.

I think that's because the 49ers regular look already looks like a throwback, so it's an easy way to have a throwback matchup without coordinating with the opponent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota should wear the throwbacks for at least one more game. I'm sure they'll break them out again against the Packers or Bears, (and both games are in prime time, for now at least). Then they'll wear the color rush, or "Primetime Purple" as they call it, probably for the MNF game against the 49ers. But I also wouldn't be surprised if they don't wear the color rush at all either. They didn't wear them in 2017 or 18. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a much more realistic and reasonable wish than how seemingly everyone else on here wants them to scrap the current set entirely and wear these full-time (because that totally doesn’t defeat the purpose of a throwback uniform). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for that is that we'd like that to become the regular look, rather than being limited to throwback status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Bolton Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I know it won't happen but it would be amazing if the Bucs secretly brought the creamsicles to Minnesota for week 1. That might be the best looking game in NFL history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
