JQK Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I know this topic has been beaten to death, but the grey facemasks really have to go. Now that you guys are saying that they are keeping their old uniform for throwback purposes, I am even more convinced. The grey lovers will still get to see the old facemasks once or twice a year. That should be enough. The rest of us shouldn't have to suffer. The Cards are a red or black facemask away from having really nice uniforms. Until they make that change, they look awful. Gray facemasks work better. They look better. They should be mandatory for all teams.... Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajmccall Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'll put the blame on Reebok for this one, especially given the NHL's current goalie jersey fiasco. 3 exclusive league uni contracts, and they can't get their stuff together. I've heard the NHL isn't approving anything that reebok is doing. They (reebok) is having a really rough time getting anything completed because of this.Doesn't explain the Cardinals situation. is this because the logo on the back of the jerseys is about 5 inches long?

BondsBacker25 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hmmmm. I was wondering last night why they hadnt worn the red jerseys yet. This would explain it. I really dont like those white jerseys. I cant wait to see them wear the red jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 does that mean the cowboys wil wear their disregarded blues? Be sure to pick up the new album from Drew Bledsoe, "Disregarded Blues."Not available in stores.For good reason.

Bouj Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 This reminds me of a similar, but opposite, situation with the Houston Rockets two years ago. Reebok only supplied the team with uniforms, and it was a full 6 weeks before the new Red/White/Grey jerseys were in stores. The issue was with the material. Reebok was using this new jersey material that hadn't been produced in enough quantities to make authentics and replicas for sale to the general public. Reebok only had enough of the stuff to supply the Rockets with their team sets.It all went back to the manufacturer in whatever foreign country the material is made in.Reebok probably can't get a hold of the material because of something similar. Whatever, I'm not buying one anyway. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 So, will we see the throwback alts for the Cowboy game? So sad that the Cards don't have those jersey, it's almost as embarassing as the 49ers losing to them. *cries under a paper bag ovewr my head* 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 5..4..3..2..1 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Bouj I think you are missing the point the team does not have the jerseys . The authentics are available to the fans in fact i know a couple of people who have the new red Boldin jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 5..4..3..2..1 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 They were not suppose to wear the alt's this year but they might have to if the red jerseys are not ready by the time they play at Dallas because I seriously doubt that the Boys would be willing to wear the blue jerseys at home as some of you have mentioned here.

ZoDogg34 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Somehow I doubt the team doesn't have them with all the ones that are in stores.It's still 100 degrees here in PHX. Would you want to wear dark jerseys for your games or make the other team wear them?I think its more of a comfort issue than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Man, what is it with Arizona pro football teams not being able to get red jerseys delivered on time? Seems to me the 1984 Wranglers went an entire season in their white jerseys because their red ones never came in.I smell a conspiracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Man, what is it with Arizona pro football teams not being able to get red jerseys delivered on time? Seems to me the 1984 Wranglers went an entire season in their white jerseys because their red ones never came in.I smell a conspiracy. No. Here's the story on the Wranglers' 1984 Red jerseys:The Wranglers changed from Blue to Red between 1983 and 1984. Because the USFL front office mandated that each team give a full season's notice before making full jersey color changes (they thought they were going to be around a while), the Wranglers were forced to wear White all season.I know this, because in 1984, I had a long phone conversation with the Wranglers' GM about this very issue.There's a lot of speculation about this on the internet, but this is the FINAL WORD.
