seahawk9 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 This had to have been planned for a while. Teams are required by the league to announce their color jersey home schedule for the upcoming season in the Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are required by the league to announce their color jersey home schedule for the upcoming season in the Spring.Wow, I never knew that.I always thought the away team was notified the week of the game which color the home team would be wearing and that they would act accordingly.Hmmm... interesting what you learn on these glorious boards.

If you decide to make a change later, you have to ask the visiting team for permission.The reason I now know this is because the Saints started off wearing white at home two years ago, but after the first game or somewhere close to that, the players asked coach Sean Payton to let them wear black. The story goes the Saints contacted the visiting teams on their schedule and all but Tampa Bay and Cincinnati agreed to the switch. The Tampa game was the Saints' second home game, then the Saints wore black at home for Philly and Baltimore, followed by the seemingly random white game vs. Cincy (which makes sense after you find out Cincy nixed the Saints' request to wear black). The Saints wore black the final three regular-season home games and one playoff home game that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy b Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The Raiders - until yesterday - had NEVER worn white at home for a regular or postseason game.This makes the Seahawks as the last non-white at home holdout of the 32 teams in the NFL.

No reason the Raiders should wear white at home. Completely wrong, as demonstrated by the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JToad Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 As a longtime Raider fan, it was a surprise to me as well. But the rumor is that next year they will be wearing white at home all the time. But they are switching to the older white with grey numbers. The ones they wore in 94 for the 75th anniversary. Which I have been wishing for a long time. These are my favorite unis they've ever worn.Take this rumor for what it is, but its from a reputable source.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
