Monochrome NFL unis

[Shumway]

That doesn't look quite as bright as they do now. In NCAA football 06 for PS2, you can go all orange, it's quite distracting, although I wore them for an entire "Race for the Heisman".

[In 5..4..3..2..1]

I love all white combo's but I don't consider them monochromes.

[Candyc0ded]

Even though I wasn't born yet and I think there are better monochrome jerseys I like monochromes like the raven's, jag's, charger's, saint's, ram's (finally), bill's, pat's, bear's, jet's, dolphin's, card's, seahawk's, bronco's, the Viking's monochromes back in the 60's had to be the best. Not because of how it looked, but because they were the first to do it in the common football era. (They wore all purple in the second half of a game against the Lions due to a mix up of both teams wearing white in the 1st.) I saw it on NFL films.

Generally, not a fan of it in the pros, but I second the all Black Saints unis of a few years back. Don't the falcons go all black occasionally?

Watch the MNF game on Dec. 12, when the Saints play the Falcons. They'll be in their black alts, black helmets, and likely the black pants.....

Chargers looked very good in all blue. I remember they wore it one time against Miami that was played in Tempe, Arizona i think. i forgot y they had 2 play there.

Wasn't it because of wildfires that were just outside of San Diego?

[ColeJ]

i'd forgotten about the chargers all blue look.

it's even better than the seahawks.

[desolateSentinal]

big fan of the chargers all blues. close would have to be the falcons all black (i don't much care for the red uni's they've been wearing) and the jags all black.

Correct.

[leopard88]

on a side note, when did the nfl allow monchrome unis? i remember years ago, wondering what the oilers all blues would look like, but there wasnts a single team doing it. only in college. one id like to see is kansas city

I don't think it is a question of the NFL "allowing" it. It was just that no teams elected to wear monochromes until recently. I am not aware of any NFL rule that prohibited teams from wearing them, but maybe with someone with more knowledge can set me straight.

The main reason I don't like monochromes NFL jerseys is because the players look either like children or superheroes. Especially the Chargers monochrome up above. LT looks like "Lightning Man" or something.

There's something simple and classy about colored jersey on top, white pants below. It's kind of amazing to think that throught the entire 1990s, excepting teams like the Packers, Steelers and Niners, every team wore a colored jersey over white pants. Nowadays, and especially compared to the free-for-all that is NCAA football, a little consistency would be nice.

I hate all monochromes except white on white but if I had to pick one the Rams from Sunday is the least offensive.

[cableguy]

Wow...hey aykay, when was that picture taken? Did they wear it for more than one game?I remember the Vols with orange pants and white jerseys on the road but I cant recall them wearing all orange...cool pic thanks for sharing it.

[bigdub81]

The Saints, used to wear white pants with their black jersey back in the Archie

Manning, era and black pants with their white jerseys. I thought that look would

better suit the Saints as alternates as opposed to the all-black uniform that they

try to pull off now. The gold helmet doesn't do anything for them at all when it's

time to wear them.

[tjpskillz34]

Don't forget about the Broncos!

I like the monochrome when it is used SPARINGLY!

On the other hand, Seattle looked weird when they wore the white pants opening week @ Jacksonville. Arizona's pure red was probably the worst, but the Dolphins were bad too! I also think the Ravens all-black fits them well.

[Mingjai]

Though I wouldn't consider myself a monochrome lover, I think monochome uniforms tend to look better when the team doesn't wear a white helmet. That's why I think the Seahawks, Rams, Ravens, Jags, etc., look better than the Cardinals (Arizona and Louisville) for example. All white combinations, however, seem to look okay no matter what color the team's helmet is.

[DAJackson7]

I like the monochrome look once a year, and have liked almost every team that has tried it and used it sparingly except the Ravens and Jags with their all blacks and just t throw anpther one out, the Eagles black with the green, and heck even the white. But teams like the Broncos, Dolphins, Cardinals, Chargers, and yes even the Bears look good in them once a year.

[edensker]

Other than white on white (Colts, Vikings, Bears, Jets, Dolphins, ...) none.

Ditto.

[Intimidator85]

Some are really horrible, while others look quite nice. In terms of which one I like the best, I would have to side with the Seahawks and their blue/blue look. I just like the color. The Eagles' and their green/green look is a good one, too. The Falcons' black/black look seems to stand out from all the other black/black combinations teams wear.

It's a picture of Reggie White, so it had to be taken during the late 70's/early 80's.
