Saintsfan Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Just wondering if anyone knows of any NFL teams considering uniform changes for the 2004 season. I can't think of too many likely candidates right now, so maybe we will just see lots more alternates brought in?? Maybe the Bills will make some kind of minor adjustment to theres, I'd personally like to see the chargers try something, but no-one seems due for any kind of change?? 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Well, there's the usual suspects, two of which you touched on, to which I'll add a couple:Cincy... the reversed helmet, plus Marvin Lewis' tight-lippedness about a possible change add fuel to the fire.Arizona... don't know when their new park opens, but they'll probably wait for that if the ever-popular Bidwells want to make a change.Miami... first all-teal, then orange, what freakishly scary look will they come up with next? Maybe orange pants (with a white top, they'd alienate the FSU supporters and maybe gain some Gator and Hurricane faithful).Green Bay, Chicago, and Cleveland... who will once and for all destroy all vestiges of tradition in their uniforms by going all green, all navy, and all brown, respectively. Just kidding. Wow, I managed to freak out SHB and JQK in one post! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I completely doubt the Bengals will be reversing their helmets. First off, the one that Marvin was photo'd next to was apparentlya gift from a friend who calls him the "black bengal", secondly, it would completely counter-intuitive. There are no black tigers with orange stripes.The only change I could foresee from them would be an alternate orange jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I see it possible for a uniform change for the bengals. they have just won back a lot of fans finally with a contending season, and you know what more fans means?more fans buying jerseys!so why not make some new ones so theyll have to buy them?i think theres a big chance Proud owner of the Utah Pioneers of the Continnental Baseball League.PACKER BACKER FOREVER!

epper Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Green Bay, Chicago, and Cleveland... who will once and for all destroy all vestiges of tradition in their uniforms by going all green, all navychicago went all navy last year, i think it was on a MNF game....horrible.my guesses for next year would be the dolphins trying orange on teal, which IMO should NOT be tried......also, i think the bengals will use their black pants more often, along with an orange alternate.i think we will see the long-rumoured purple pants for the vikings as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puckcool22 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 i think we will see the steelers gold alternate for road games in hot weather wear the home team wears whitecarolina switch in primaryid like to see honolulu blue road pants for detroit, maybe even home toopanthers silver pants on the road49ers gold jersey- it makes sense because the name comes from the gold rush, they could use the retro white pants with them, but if they dont do this its ok because they incorporate gold into their scheme perfect anywaycolts blue pantsdef not happening: jags embracing the teal and getting a teal helmet and teal pants for the roadravens- here is a possible solution here, they have way too much white going on, how about a mustard/gold/yellow/w/e the hell that color is pants, purple pants would work good with the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronChefShark Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 i dont know what fries me more......the thought of cleveland going all brown or the 49ers bringing back the white pants let alone introducing gold jerseysthere is only one team i feel that needs an overhaul...yes, the arizona cardinals. some teams could use a tweak here and there, but nothing major.

1994Patriots Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I think if there are any changes, it'll be along the same lines as the Eagles this past season (adding gray border to the numbers). I'd like to see Arizona ditch the red pants, and see them inject some life into their unis. I think the Bills really need to get rid of the horrible navy blue shoulers on their white jerseys. The white jersey itself doesn't even match! Royal blue and navy blue, hate to say it, DON'T MATCH!!! I got a quick question for everyone: when was the last year that the NFL didn't have any uniform changes, in which the same unis were worn in two consecutive seasons by all teams?1994: Patriots, Dolphins (numbers), 49ers (throwback jersey style)1995: Patriots, Colts (blue pants), Cowboys (numbers and star logo on sleeve) 1996: Vikings, Eagles, 49ers 1997: Broncos, Dolphins, Steelers (numbers), Bengals (tiger on the sleeve, instead of number), Buccaneers, Saints (gold numbers)1998: 49ers (pants), Jets, Jaguars (numbers). Lions (blue pants)1999: Saints (black numbers), Browns (numbers on shoulders instead of sleeves)2000: Pats, Rams and Giants, Chiefs (red pants) 2001: ???2002: Seahawks and Bills2003: Falcons, Eagles and Lions2004: ???I probably missed a few details.

eskishmorskish Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Two notes: (1) Don't teams have to petition the NFL by September if they want to change their unis the next season? Does anyone know if any teams did this? There's no word, not even a rumor, on ssur.org.(2) Re: Dallas: I thought I noticed this before, but wasn't sure. On Saturday night, I tried to get a good look at the Cowboys' pants color, and it looks to me like they got rid of the metallic silver green. Those pants looked plain silver to me. They looked better than they have in the last few years (although I really like the light blue pants from the sixties). Did anyone else notice this?Best,e_m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone else notice this?Best,e_mthere's a reason for that that has been beaten like two dead bears: there are actually two sets of pants, the greenish silver with royal blue/white striping, and the silver pants w/navy and white striping. take a guess which pants are worn with which jersey :: A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorss9 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 For some reason, those green pants seem to be untouchable on the Cowboys uniforms. Does anyone know why this is? Is there some superstitois or traditional reason that they keep them around? "Hats for bats. Keep bats warm. Gracias" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskishmorskish Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Re: the beaten dead bears: Oh snap. My brain must have gone into chimp mode when the Cowboys' two pairs of pants were discussed in this forum. My apologies.There is some hope for me, however, as I was able to figure out (without counting on my fingers) which pants went with which jersey.e_m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamblinGamblinTiger Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 oh yea...I totally forgot about the Madden curse thing.... I enjoy the Madden games, but I didn't get this years version because of Vick's injury...... Damn John Madden and his cover curse!

BRice16 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 It's not just Madden, its all EA games. I think we all know what happened to Dany Heatley of the Thrashers days after his cover of NHL 04 debuted. Add to that the misfortune on field of Randy Johnson after gracing MVP'03 and Vince carter hasn't exactly been burning up the court this season after being coverboy for Live...

vicfurth Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I did notice that. What is it with big-time sports media that seems to "jinx" who is on the cover (unless you're Lance Armstrong, 5-time Tour de France winner). Does 989 Sports have this problem? Last I checked, no. Or Sega's NFL 2K games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
