bipolarbear Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 i remember them saying something about a new material or something to make them more distinctive, but they look more like the white jerseys than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I posted this a week or so ago, but this shows the problems in their new Silver Textile color:You can see that the new Silver (textile) is actually LIGHTER than the old one.Not sure the logic in that...

ReginaCanuck Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 It took me until the second quarter to realize they were wearing the alts.I was watching it in the background, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGivens87 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 The only reason why I can distinguish a difference between the silvers they wore today and the silvers they wore back in 2003-04, is that PANTONE pointed it out. Yes, they do look a little less "dirty white", as commented many times here on this board, but now they just look like white jerseys on TV. There's like hardly any difference (to me at least) between the 05 silvers and the current white jerseys.With that in mind, now that the Pats finally got their arses handed to them in these silver jerseys - how about a switch back to the red throwbacks (as their alternate jersey) for a game or two in 2006? I know I'm dreaming...but dream away I will. A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN!

griffelh Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I don't get the point of having an alternate jersey if no one can tell the difference. They should have an alternate red jersey. The silver is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bipolarbear Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 After today, they may never wear the silver again. don't say that. that is the most ridiculous thing in the world when teams brand alternates "unlucky"...they make no difference good or bad. they just played like crap today.

winters in buffalo Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Yeah, I didn't realize they were in silver until the second half... it doesn't show up well on TV. Was anyone from here at the game? Can you tell the difference in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 You can tell, because the outer stripe on the collar is white and the inside stripe around the numbers is also. The other thing is i'm pretty sure they never wear the whites at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 After today, they may never wear the silver again. That's two consecutive terrible losses in those silver alts. Don't get me started about the Monday Night disaster last year in Miami... Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

VitaminD Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 don't say that. that is the most ridiculous thing in the world when teams brand alternates "unlucky"...they make no difference good or bad. they just played like crap today. It may be ridiculous, but there is a track record for that sort of thing. Just ask the '94 Phillies who scotched the blue cap/helmet for day games (though they accepted the "P/star" logo for the interleague games). There's so much psychology in sports, this may be enough of an impetus to ditch the dirty whites.Regardless of superstition, as has been said: if you can't tell the difference between the regular jersey and the special alternate one, why have the alternate? "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Sick Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 This is sorta off topic, but what is that logo painted on the Pat's field? It looks like a vice clamp shooting lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
