JH42XCC Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yup, just a fashion jersey. Reebok seems to like to make up alternate jerseys for teams that don't have them. Anything to make more money. I ave seen lions silver jerseys, black cheifs and cowboys jerseys, gold rams and niners jerseys, and I am pretty sure there are some more.Add this "beauty" to your list:God almighty is that ugly...The green on the jersey is so dark that it blends in with the black. The green should be of a lighter shade so it could stand out from the black... or at least the green numbers should be outlined in white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'd love to see some team take a wild leap and create an alt that was a totally different color than their current (or past) color scheme like is done in European soccer. Didn't Barca (blue, red, and gold) have a neon green alt uniform? I love that completely different take.That's against NFL rules. Alternate jerseys can only use colors present in the team's regular color scheme. The only exception is when the team is using a "throwback" design, like the NY Jets/Titans this year or the Redskins' anniversary uniforms from a couple years back.Frankly, I prefer it that way for the NFL. European football is an entirely different animal with their "clash" kits. Besides, they have enough games in which to do it - when you play a 16-game regular season, and no additional competitive matches, to even wear alternates at all diminishes the brand in my eyes. To wear an alt completely out of the color scheme would destroy it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good way to use an alternate IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManCalledAmp Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Maybe I'm crazy, but I love most of those posted. Steelers yellow I don't really like, and similarly the hard-to-read or not-too-different black jerseys. But the rest I like a lot. Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.Preds & Avs. Braves, Rays, & Dodgers. Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals. Grizzlies. 14ers, Jam. Team Spirit + Laziness = Yay.

Gothamite Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I swa some kid at school wearing the yellow packers one and almost got sick.As a Packer fanatic, I'm grateful that they won't ever go with an alternate jersey.

patsox Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I think the Patriots should drop those awful silver jerseys forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
