DCarp1231 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Overall some pretty decent stuff this week. As a reminder- Just because two uniforms are traditional and “stand the test of time” it doesn’t mean they’re an automatic nod for Best. Especially when two of those teams share a color and both use darker primary colors. Best Browns @ Ravens Purple and Orange work so well together. Props to Baltimore for not going all black below the jersey. 49ers @ Jaguars Wow, Teal and Gold working off each other on perfect harmony. Weird, right? Commanders @ Seahawks Two very progressively modern uniforms putting out the ideal matchup. I was afraid Washington would go all white and Seattle all blue. They saved themselves. Honorable Mention Packers @ Steelers “But two classic teams in classic uniforms!!” Blah blah blah. There’s too much yellow for me. Sorry about it. Worst Panthers @ Bears I dig the orange jerseys and socks. Indifferent on the helmet. Carolina’s insistence on all black below the jersey can kick rocks. Lions @ Chargers Too much light blue and white. Not enough yellow and silver. Shame. Saints @ Vikings The mono-pants/socks combos are the killers here. Wild Card Jets @ Raiders Not bad, but not great. Would’ve been a great opportunity for some New York throwbacks or at least green socks. Could’ve, should’ve, would’ve been an ALL TIMER. Have at it folks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of Super Bowl XLV, though that was even less aesthetically pleasing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be honest, I would’ve like to have seen Green Bay go white over green (from the throwback) for this game. More-so than color rush whites. Minimize the yellow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need the Packers to take a page out of the New York Jets' book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're going for, I just don't trust modern-day NFL franchises to (a) Wear white socks with that and (b) Put stripes on those white socks If the Packers were to wear green pants with their white jerseys, I see them most likely go for green leggings, in which case I'd scrap the idea entirely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only times they’ve dabbled in monocolor were the CR all whites and those throwbacks. The all whites were done because they had to do it. Throwbacks are throwbacks. It’s not much of a reason to believe an uber-traditional team such as Green Bay would fall for the leggings gag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more that whenever a new uniform is debuted these days, the default seems to be the sock color matching the pant color. I'd love to be proven wrong. I just take a very pessimistic view of current-day NFL uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Man I thought the Lions-Chargers was a beauty of a game, and that's not even my bias talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, even if the Lions wore a proper combo instead of practice pants, the light blue of the two teams would have clashed a little too much.
