JQK Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Why would you want it to be that way? Hell, with all the pant combinations, uniform sets are blurred as it is. I'd like to see alts outlawed except for anniversery years, where teams can wear throwbacks or a special uniform if they so desire.I believe the rule is in place to keep some sort of uniform order.

McCall Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 well its a 16 game season8 home8 awaythrow in 2 games of the alt somewhereif they wore there alt more, whats the point of the home or away?That, and the fact that the colored jerseys are supposed to be home (of course that's not always the case), so in theory, since the alts would be "home" jerseys, that would only leave 6 games for the regular home jerseys... in theory, of course.

pagan696 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 20 really, 10 h / 10 a (including preseason) but that allows up to 3 times a season an alt can be worn.

Blue Falcon Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 It's a strange rule for the NFL to have, considering that teams are now using alternate PANTS to get around this restriction (Titans, Rams) or wearing monochromes at times (Saints).

John in KY Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 It's a strange rule for the NFL to have, considering that teams are now using alternate PANTS to get around this restriction (Titans, Rams) or wearing monochromes at times (Saints).I suspect the rule is in place for jerseys and not pants because you can't go and buy authentic or replica game pants, and they want to govern the number of times something that can be purchased is worn.Yes, I know you can get game worn pants on occasion, but you can't go into a Dick's, Champs or other store and get them.

mania Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I agree with the rule but think in certain cases teams should be able to wear the jerseys through a lucky streak. I'm superstitious when it comes to things like that and if a team is playing exceptionally well in the alts, if so petitioned, the league should allow them to wear them until they lose.

Well, there are at least three more gramatical mistakes in that sentence.Number 1. it should be "an NFL team", not "a NFL team"Number 2. "cant" needs and apostrophe to become "can't"Number 3.

I usually no longer correct people's grammar.However, in this instance, I will make an exception, and I don't care if I make a mistake myself.Both of you guys made at least one grammar and/or spelling mistake each.
