Brian in Boston Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I, on the other hand, find them absolutely REPULSIVE!Pro sports leagues' desires for additional merchandising revenue streams are the only reason "fashion excrement" like this even sees the light of day.This has got to be one of the signs of the impending sports merchandising apocalypse.Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994Patriots Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Ugh...why don't they just wear orange pants? they still wouldn't match and they'd look just as horrible...$30,000 fine for Joe Horn using a cell phone after he scores a touchdown.$0.00 fine for an entire team wearing uniform combos that don't match.What do they have in common? THEY'RE BOTH TACKY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I've been liking most of the alternates this year, but this one, like Jacksonville's, is just terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I love you NFL, i really do, but please, PLEASE end the alternate jersey program. Unless it's a throwback for an anniversay or something, just end the alternate program. These things, as most other Alternates, should have stayed as fashion jerseys...

Brian in Boston Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 What JQK said! Enough with the travesty that is the "alternate" jersey movement. Unless we're talking about legitimate throwback jerseys, these are just fashion jerseys being given a handful of days on the field of play in order to make them more desirable on the retail sales front. They are, by and large, ATROCITIES!!!Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 What makes this jersey worse is that Black isn't a main color in the eagles scheme. It's on thing if the color is one of the major colors in the scheme.As far alts. it's one thing if teams wear them a few times over a long season (i.e., 5 times in an 82 game season, 10 times in a 162 game season) The should never be worn in the playoffs, and they should not be worn in the nfl (too short of a season).What happened to the 1 game only rule for alts? And let's hope no teams wear them in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hideous. Why use a black jersey when you already wear a dark green. bad.josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky34 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I think they black jerseys could have been saved..had the pulled out the old white pants! They would have looked so much better...BUT i don't care what they wear..as long as they lost! GO BARLOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuse2000 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Pajamas! They played football in their pajamas.Now I don't mind alternate jersey; I don't mind mix-and-match schemes...the Bucs come to mind; and I don't mind some AOC combos...the Jets come to mind.But this is hidious. It makes me long for the Jaguars teal and black combo.Awful!Just Awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braden Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 You know what... I like the fact that they're experimenting and it seems like there's been mixed feedback, which is alright. Personally, it's not my style. I'm not a fan of their Black alts. in general. About the whole discussion about alternates, I like them and I think they should keep them. So far, every team (except for San Diego) that has had alts. have only used a secondary colour variation on their current style. I think that's a good idea, and I hope it stays this way despite the naysayers here. And you know what, there have been some hits and some misses, but you get that with any uniform.

JQK Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Experimentation is supposed to be done in preseason, and in college with three fine looking co-eds... oh wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCScout76 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Anything to get those jerseys to go on sale in the "pro shop"I don't hate it, but I'm not really liking it either. Just another team trying too hard to be different. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I love the Eagles' helmet, however I've always felt that the black facemask was awkward because there just isn't enough contrast between the black and the midnight green. Any use of black with the Eagles' midnight green is going to get washed out and ruin the entire uniform. I don't have an automatic bias against introducing black into a uniform, however in most cases I just don't see the need. In the Eagles' case, I would have either gone with a midnight green facemask or a grey one and I would not have introduced any black into the mix - it just washes out.

Avenger Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I like 'em. I actually like them more than with the white pants. I don't like them more than their regular greens, but it's a nice change of pace.To all of the "it's only for the money!" people, consider this: the NFL splits its merchandice revenue evenly between all of the teams. The very little extra money that this program generates isn't going to affect any one team very much. Say what you want, but I do think it's possible that these teams truly want to give fans and players an occasional alternative while still reinforcing their brand identity. I know the players get hyped for these, and I know that a lot of fans do too, so I see no harm in them. Maybe I'm too much of a modernist, but I do like a little variation.

STL FANATIC Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 These weren't too bad...I kinda felt they were too dark, but overall not bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardman 1 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I really like them. I hate them when they are like Jacksonville where the pants are darker than the jerseys. I think the pants should be the same color or lighter for the home dark jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
