Or any team doing it against the Florida teams who do it to gain some 'advantage' in the sun? Sometimes I think the NFL doesn't write any of these so called rules down so that's why there's no consistency. They’re probably grandfathered into the rule. Sometimes it’s okay to pull the plug on ol pops and let the family down easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfraser85 Posted Sunday at 12:02 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:02 AM 7 hours ago, fouhy12 said: It seems to me like teams have to declare before the season if they're wearing dark or light at home, and if they change it later on, the other team has the opportunity to decline. I don't know the exact logistics, but I can see how it would be annoying if you were planning on wearing white one week only to have the other team make you switch to a colored uniform later on. That's exactly how it works, and it's been that way since 1964. The home team has first choice of white or color, and the road team has to wear the opposite. The road team can wear a color jersey as well if there's enough contrast, such as the gray jerseys of the Rams. The initial jersey choices must be made before the start of the season. If the home team wants to switch jerseys during the season and the new jersey won't cause any contrast issues, I believe they only need the NFL's permission. But if the home team wants to make a switch that would cause contrast issues, the road team has the right to refuse the switch. I don't know if the road team can make a request like this or not, but I would think the same rules apply. Given the 49ers made the request due to the heat, I would have told the 49ers no too. The Cardinals wouldn't want to make a switch to darker jerseys because of the heat, so they would have declined the request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The visiting team has a say if the original plan is changed. If the original plan is for the home team to wear white, then the visiting team can't stop them. It's just if there's a change. So the Cowboys aren't getting any special treatment.

ahowe6464 Posted Sunday at 12:44 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:44 PM Unsure if the Patriots' combo has been confirmed, but I'm currently on my knees praying that they actually listen to fans and make blue over silver their official home combo.

Your leg gets cut off where the violation starts, so under knee (or over the knee for the idiots that wear their pants like shorts.) You want to wear yellow sleeve(s) and you play for the Bills? Bye bye arm(s). You want to wear a slob shirt that goes down to your ass? Well...
