NFL alternate jerseys

[habsfan1]

Those two look strangely nice. Especially the Patriots.

These must be the worst. Whenever I look at them, the only thing I can think of is McDonalds.

I disagree. I'm lovin' it!

[tBBP]

Man...y'all making me relive damn near my entire NFL Monochrome Madness thread!!! (See...ain't all y'all now glad I took the time to do all that?)

FWIW...if anyone else feels liek reliving the monochrome madness, the link's in my sig.

I remember "authentic" silver jerseys being sold on their websites and assumed they had been worn at some point. The website store is all I had to go on. This was probably 5-6 years ago as best I remember...

yes, these were for most teams 5-6 yrs ago as "fashion jerseys". the Panthers silver fashion jersey looked more like dirty white, like the Pats.

and gold

A gold alternate is available for the Rams in Madden.

Does anyone remember the Raiders silver jerseys? It looked a lot like the Pats "dirty white" silver jersey.

Holy misinformation, Batman!

The Raiders have never, and will never, wear silver alternates.

I remember "authentic" silver jerseys being sold on their websites and assumed they had been worn at some point. The website store is all I had to go on. This was probably 5-6 years ago as best I remember. There was no misinformation intended. I never said that I saw it on the field. That is why I asked if anyone remembered them. I just wanted to know if anyone had any information. Thank you for your input, but since they are the "silver and black" I can see the possibility that even if they have never worn silver, the chance that they might. It is feasible. I am sorry for your misunderstanding, but there was no misinformation.

No deliberate misinformation, but that was one huge assumption there.

So just to straighten this all out (BTW, I don't care about stupid throwbacks being alternates. This list is solely concerned with modern alternates):

This looks too much like:

Follow the yellow brick road, indeed. The Pats looked like they had no heart against the Fish on Sunday, that's for sure.!

What an awful statement.

If a jersey is being used as an alternate in 2008, then how the is not a "modern alternate"?

"Alternate" can be given 2 definitions and I subscribe to the latter.

(1) any jersey not currently the home or away (usually throwbacks or special occasion)

--- e.g. the Bills' throwbacks or Boston Celtics' St. Patty's green & gold

(2) a color &/or slight design variation to the current (i.e., "modern") set of uniforms

--- e.g. the Panthers' blue (color) or Washington Wizards' gold (color & design)

Like I've always said, I prefer modern design over historical design. I am not interested or impressed by a team wearing jerseys that are many years old, whether it's to 'get back to roots', 'honor tradition', or whatever.

In your example, the Celtics' green & gold are a "slight design varation" on the standard roads. I'd call that a modern alternate.

I think you're actually looking for a distinction between "throwback" and "alternate". Throwbacks are often a clean break with current designs, sometimes incorporating different color schemes, numbering or design styles.

- Patriots silver

I haven't seen those atrocities in quite a while -- and it needs to stay that way!

I will never understand why the Pats chose to have those dingy looking silver jerseys over some stellar red alternates.

I thought there was a red alt on its way? Is that supposed to be for next season. I remember hearing something about it last year.

I've heard nothing about a red Patriots alt, but here's a photoshop job (props to whoever did this) of what should have been...

They're bringing in the Pat Patriot throwbacks as an alt starting next year. unfortunately, no red based off the current set (which I'd LOVE to see).

So they're changing their name to the New England Loyalists?

Its funny because we all know that red was associated with the British army at the time of the revolution which obviously fought against the people the team is named for but at the same time its hard to ignore the red jerseys in Pats history which I think looked very good. What do I know though, my team's colors were based off the owners gas station!

[TFoA]

The Cowboys alternate technically isn't a throwback. It's just their old uniforms in a darker blue, so it is an alternate.

Throwback

Alternate

[Gothamite]

Here's an example of two words used interchangeably that really ought to mean something different.

I'd call the Cowboys' jerseys "Retro." Styled similarly to an old uniform, designed to resemble that old uniform with modern touches. Think Brewers' Friday alts, which look like the 1980s uniforms but have modern touches like belts and button-fronts.

Contrast that with "Throwback," which in my lexicon would require more fidelity to the actual history.

[Legend]

Some of those photoshopped jerseys were, or maybe still in some areas, were used as replica third jerseys that were for sale but never used.

Bucs-black.

Packers-yellow.

Chiefs-black.

49ers-gold.

Jets-black.

Vikings-black.

And on the list you forgot to mention Minnesota is using the purple throwback as an alternate.

[Gothamite]

True, but if you're going to start listing all fashion jerseys, where does it end?

[vikmurphy]

Good-Pats both red and silver, jags gold

Bad-Rams all gold, all silver raiders

Ugly-vikes and chiefs gold monochrome EWWWWEEE!

[jake22]
