dutyfree Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Well chronicled, bucco B. Monochrome is a look that is of the time, I guess, though I do not find it appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wman Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 To answer the Eagles question, they last went all green in the final regular season home game at the Vet in 2002 against Washington. Bring back the Whale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshadow1031 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm not really taking a side on this but is white on white considered monochromatic? 2002-2006 ALUMNI 2007-2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 My least favorite monochrome look...Beat ya to it, Bri! It was worn twice in 2002...against the Broncos and Packers...both losses...and thus, this combo hasn't been seen since.In retrospect...I guess they weren't that bad. I dunno...I wouldn't complain if they showed up once...but that's it.Now there's a dark mono I've never seen before...never even HEARD of. It doesn't surprise me, though, that it was in 2002 that the Patriots donned this look, considering that was the year the dark mono craze started to take hold. Note to Belichick: NEVER...AGAIN!!! *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojotarantino Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The Chargers have only done the monochrome once in that monday night game vs Miami in 2003 in Arizona. I pray we don't see mono's with the new uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 maybe i missed it, in the sea of monochrome... but the titans have worn all navy AND all columbia monochromes more than once each.Nope...I missed it. And the sad thing is I have pics of BOTH looks in my archive folder. But thanks for going ahead and putting those up, Cole. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 It's been mentioned, but no one posted a pic. Here's the Texans in monos:Also, just to clarify for those who asked, the Chiefs and Redskins have never gone mono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm not really taking a side on this but is white on white considered monochromatic?In the purist sense, yes, white-on-white would be considered monochromatic.But in this particular thread, we're concentrating on and chronicling the spread of the disease that spread through the NFL known as DARK mono. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Also, just to clarify for those who asked, the Chiefs and Redskins have never gone mono.Nor have the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team's players have asked to, but Dan Rooney, in a triumph of good taste, basically told them, "Not while I'm still alive." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no other way they COULD go mono, which means adding a new pair of pants to their set. Can you make "minor" changes like that without league approval?

Burning River Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yes, I am A Browns fan. I do have to say that I think Pittsburgh would look pretty bad-a$$ in all black. They would need to keep the side stripe to a minimum on the pants, not a thick gold stripe. I don't like when teams add a black jersey... then the next thing you know they are all black: Jacksonville and Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 You could consider this monochromatic, the Eagles used to often wear their black alternate jerseys with the dark green pants. It wasn't all the same color, but it was pretty dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do that, they need to just wear the throwback helmet too. Here's a rough Photoshop of what that would look like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-(dp)- Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The best monochrome looks to me are the all black of the falcons and jaguars, and that all-navy of the chargers from a few years ago. There are a few others that are decent though.Also, since I have now seen that the Patriots have worn the usual away pants with home jerseys, have they ever worn the silver pants with the white jersey? I think that might look alright for a game or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 My take is simple. All monochromes look horrible. (I'm assuming all-white is not part of the conversation)Some aren't as awful as others but being a lesser degree of ugly doesn't mean you look good. The monochromes look like High School uniforms. It's professional football and most of these teams dress like they're 13 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 My take is simple. All monochromes look horrible.I have to disagree. I'll keep it simple as well: MOST look bad, SOME look real good....but not ALL are bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Falcon Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Monochrome Madness is OK for one game a year, but that should be IT.Bucco, you could say that MM started at the end of the 2001 season, when the Aints wore all-black for their last two home games, both losses to Washington and San Fran. Why those eyesores simmered in the minds of NFL players during the off-season is beyond me...all I remember hearing is that the Seahawks and Bills players PREFERRED the Monochrome Madness uniforms, proving that NFL players have little taste.
