BBTV Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Not sure what the mod to the Eagles alt could be. My first thought was that it was just a new cut - maybe they're using the alt to try out the Giants template. But then, I wondered why they wouldn't just make the change to all of their jerseys. there's not much room for tweaks with this thing (other than scrapping it altogether, which gets my vote). The number colors can't really be changed, nor can the trim.

leopard88 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Well, FWIW, Uniwatch Blog (scroll down to the NFL logo) says that there are "new third jerseys for the Colts", . . .Why has this not created more intrigue around here?

tohasbo Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 The latest Style Guide for the Cardinals shows a section for the "Classic" uniforms, which are, of course, the old Red jersey, old White pants, and old logo.Which I am bummed AND happy about. The jerseys that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(IF i had to guess, it'd simply be the old-school Colts sets with the thee sleeve stripes, slightly different block numbers, and single-striped pants. Can't see the Colts doing anything out of the ordinary...they're too simple for that.) *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...

The_Admiral Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 They're not that kind of organization. It would just be some sort of throwback, unless NFL Properties decided to shove some sort of modern design down their throats. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Was kinda hoping the Bears wouldn't putz around with alternates anymore, but after this offseason, silly me to expect that the Bears would do anything that remotely makes sense.yeah...tell me about it.I wouldn't be surprised if they came out wearing diapers and blue bonnets on their heads. Would actually be quite fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 It used to bug the hell out of me that the San Antonio Riders of the WLAF wore helmets with yellow facemasks when metallic gold was one of their colors.I did some research on this one...I believe that the intent was for the Riders to have "Vegas Gold" masks, but they couldn't ever get the color right, and they ended up using a standard yellow mask. Here's an official graphic:The Vegas Gold was the flat, non-metallic alternate color to the Metallic Gold.thanks for the clarification. I think I actually did read that on this board before. Love that damn helmet and logo. One of the best color combos ever IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, that might also require the UnderArmour undersleeves to make that happen since we all know most football jerseys ain't got sleeves no more--and if the League as a whole moves to those shrinkwrap jerseys this upcoming season then none of them will--but I still think it'd be kinda neat to see if the Bears could pull that one off... *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...

mania Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I actually really loved the throwbacks they wore in 94, and would be thrilled if they busted those out for a game or two. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 What are the chances the Eagles do something throwback...ish?I'd say slim to none. For one, the post mentioned "modifications", not a brand new one. For another, the owner and president pretty much deny that the team existed prior to them coming in and changing the colors. That yellow throwback a few years ago was a special thing for the 75th anniversary, and goes back far enough that they don't feel threatened by it. I really think that they are threatened by the popularity of the kelly green, the old players, Buddy Ryan, and the Vet.

IceCap Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 While there are some Eagles throwbacks I like, like the Super Bowl XV set, I wouldn't want to see them go that route. A throwback in the NFL, unless it's for an anniversary celebration, should act like an alternate, as in it should complement the primary set's identity. The Steelers' and Cowboys' current throwbacks do this very well, for example. None of the throwback options available to the Eagles would complement the current primary set.

They denied pre-Glazer existence for as long as they could. If Central Floridians, fair-weather fans in both senses of the term, can finally get their team to relent on a dumb stance, just think what a motivated and unified Philadelphia contingent can do. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah...that really lends credence to both sides of "fairweather".(And actually, it wasn't mostly "fan pressure" that did it...it was mostly pressure from several team vets that eventually got ol' man Glazer to back off--with a "scant" lil' bit of pressure from the NFL head office. ) *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...
