A Couple NFL Alts

[rebelx]

Have either Green Bay or Tampa Bay actually worn their alts on the field? I wouldn't be surprised if the Packers haven't (I can't picture that jersey looking all that great combined with their helmets), but if Tampa Bay hasn't worn theirs, I can't really imagine why; those black alts look really cool.

Purely Fashion Jerseys

Like the Cowboys black jersey. Can't imagine that looking good with the helmets.

As he said, it's a fashion jersey.

The Packers don't have an alt. They haven't had an alt since the 1950s.

The Rams also have an alternate but I've never seen them wear their's either:

I think the NFL faux alt recurring topic is the most annoying of them all, seconded by best/worst poll and political correctness gone awry.

anyone have an image of the silver fashion alts the Panthers put out? i remember sitting by some folks w the morgan 55 and peppers 90. never game worn, and quite ugly.

I would wear that.

But, I would wear any fashion jersey.

These are fashion jerseys, I think the packers had a yellow too.

On this topic, I saw someone wearing a black Boomer Esiason jersey from the Jets early 90's uniforms.

Anybody know if those are purely fashion jerseys, or were ever planned for game use? I didn't realize they were doing the fashion jersey thing that far back.

[Discrim]

oh yeah, those were just fan jerseys. as I mention every time this topic's brought up, I recall I started to see em in middle school (so somewhere between 94 and 97). Heh, I know yall remember reversible jerseys

[leedsunited]

Just crappy fan jerseys that have no place on the actual gridiron.

[rebelx]

You know, that Rams fashion jersey is a gold jersey that might actually work on the field.

I think the main problem with the Niners' and Saints' gold ones is that if worn together with their helmets, there's a proliferation of gold, which looks pretty gawdy (the Saints, of course, found this out the hard way for that one game in 2002; anyone have a pic, by any chance?).

The Rams, on the other hand, don't have a helmet where gold is the primary color, and the combo of navy helmet with some gold and gold jersey with some navy might actually be rather tasteful (provided they wear the navy pants as part of the set, of course ).

Oh, man, I do! Way to take me back. When fashion jerseys were in their infancy, I remember seeing a Starter black Packers jersey (back in the era of 5-stripe sleeves,) featuring green numbers outlined in yellow. To be honest, I still want one of those.
