The league did confirm that green is fine for Brazil. Yeah Week 18 against the Giants from what I heard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fouhy12 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 The green in Brazil thing was only ever an issue for fans wearing the color out in public and stuff, it didn't have to do with the uniforms. Quote fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK why they seem to designate the Giants game as the all-black one every year. I kinda wish the league would schedule that game for week 1 at 1:00 PM, because it's unlikely they'd wear them in that case. 2 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Unlikely. The league prints money from NFC East games, it's why they're on national TV 83836273 times a season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda wish the league would schedule that game for week 1 at 1:00 PM, because it's unlikely they'd wear them in that case. It might be because the Eagles' first opponent in the all-black was the Giants, although that was more due to Nike's issues producing the right shade of green in 2014. The Eagles players were saying they wanted Manning to "see ghosts", and the Eagles ended up obliterating the Giants, bad enough to pull Manning from the game. Except for 2017, the Eagles have worn all black hosting the Giants since. So it could be in tribute to that story, or it could be like when certain teams go WAH against the Cowboys to make them wear their "cursed" navy jerseys.

I think every meeting since then has been in prime time or in November or December. The Giants at least have worn white Color Rush a couple times at home, forcing the Eagles in to green as the road team: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were one of the initial holdouts. I thought the switch to the Nike template and the whole production issue came later (but I could be mistaken.)

I thought the switch to the Nike template and the whole production issue came later (but I could be mistaken.) The Eagles switched to Nike in 2014, but Nike needed more time to get the green right because it was a custom color. As a result, the Eagles had to wear their white or black uniforms for the first half of the season. Here is a link for the full story.

PurpleHayes Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Just realized this: the Dolphins have NEVER worn their aqua jerseys vs. the Seahawks, including the one time they met in preseason. The Seahawks can break that streak if they decide to go WAH in Week 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it will happen, Seahawks only did that because it was a 10 year anniversary of the superbowl win and they had that listed as one of their game themes last season, which they don’t this year. I also noticed that the Cowboys have never worn navy against the Seahawks, and the Jaguars have never worn black against the Seahawks (only teal twice) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've only worn blue jerseys vs. the Vikings once (2019) and the Packers once (2007), although against the Packers they wore their 60s throwbacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there's a shot they wear them against the Bengals this year on Monday Night Football. They did so last season against Detroit.

The Cowboys and Bengals had a game that was cancelled in 1982 during the strikeout. In the 1980s Cincinnati wore their white jerseys at home for September and October games. The Bengals had Dallas during an October game. If it weren't for the strike and cancellation of the game, that might have been a navy game for the Cowboys in Cincinnati.

gothedistance Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 The Jets should have chosen the Colts game for the "white throwback". Considering the history of that Super Bowl game. I realize Buffalo is a primetime game, but it wasn't the best choice on the schedule. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just so dumb. It was tolerable with the gray pants that had some blue stripes, pictured above. But ALL red and white below the helmet? I just don't get it. It's terrible. I'm usually down with the home and away having a quirky imbalance of primary color, but they went wayyy overboard. That second pic (color rush?) looks SO much better, with the single red stripe showing up on all elements. I just don't get it 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
