Sodboy13 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I still hate that they wear the white pants, which were specifically designed to be worn only with the purple jerseys, with the white jerseys. The side panel mis-match is horrible.Yeah, but the Vikes haven't looked good in purple pants since Jim Marshall ran the wrong way.I actually quite like their current white on purple look that they could be wearing.Same here. Those purple pants are designed to work with that jersey, and should be showcased far more often. Hell, I even liked it when they went purple monochrome for that Monday Night game against the Bears.

Jezus_Ghoti Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The mismatched side panels are pretty bad, but I'd way rather see that than purple pants matched with purple socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojohnny56 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 That's why every team with colored pants should have a white striped sock then the Vikings could wear their purple pants and it would'nt look so.....80's aerobic instructor.

SmoothieX Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I originally thought that navy pants might work well because the jersey gets a little darker with sweat, but it just doesn't work. The regular blue pants really need to be worn full time - home and away. Scrap the navy all together - the regular pacific blue (or slate blue, puget blue, whatever they call it) would be better even with the green jerseys.Those all pacific blue home unis are one of my all time favorites. I love that shade of blue with the lime green trim.Indianapolis Cowboys?Nonetheless, I'm diggin' this alternate, wasteful or not.I watched a bit of this game. I'm not sure where I stand on these. They're not inherently bad, but look just close enough to their regular white unis to make it weird. They look like the Colts, except not quite.With a third jersey or throwback, it's a change of pace. This one was too close to the original.

Chawls Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Game action of the Colts 1955 Throwbacks. Isn't it fitting that the Colts are playing the San Francisco "there is no room for 3 stripes on our sleeves" 49ers? Colts seem to have plenty of room on their sleeves...LOL This was one of the 1st thoughts I had when I saw the game. Right down to the irony of the two teams.I'd love to see the Colts combine their past looks to make an updated uni. Perhaps something like this:I did it myself.

illwauk Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 My guess it that this was before TV was widespread and the idea of the sides becoming the "default" place for helmet logos hadn't yet been developed.Go to The Helmet Project website and look at some of the early college designs... logos were put in all kinds of places until about the mid 60s.

Buster Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 They probably thought it looked like a horse running away to the defender they passed.I think it looks more like they got kicked in the back of the head by a horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Here's one, though more of a numbering question: Why does Victor Cruz wear #3?I thought WRs could only wear numbers in the 80s or 10s. Apparently, there's another player on the Giants wearing #2 at the WR position.

AJM Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Players wearing different numbers in TC/practices have been noted over the years, but this was an actual game scenario...not sure any of the above mentioned players actually wore different number in a preseason game.In the game last nite, two WRs Cruz (#3) and Boateng (#2) wore non-receiver numbers...after some investigating, I found that 80-89 are all taken by current roster players. Only #18 in the 10-19 range is available, with 11,14, and 16 being retired numbers...technically #17 is available as well, but not sure anyone wants Plaxico's number.Im sure as the team cuts players in the 80-89 and 10-19 number range, both players will have to take new numbers, if they are kept on the roster.

I thought that once you got a number, you kept that number, preseason or not. I then realized that the preseason is largly about who stays on the team and who misses the cut. Once all the cuts happen, then the numbers orders can resume their proper places.

That never made too much sense to me either. Seems as if a bunch of colts kicked them in the back of their helmets. Either way, I'm glad they wised up and put them where they are now.

Once all the cuts happen, then the numbers orders can resume their proper places.the league needs to just relax the rules for numbering and adopt something similar to college...doesn't have to be all crazy but positions aren't nearly as defined as they were 25 years ago and when you throw in the trend of keeping so many receivers on rosters we already have the funky teens and 80's numbering which looks totally weird.some thoughts:open up the 40's to tight ends full timelet kickers wear any numberlet receivers wear single digitscreate a position type for several offensive specialist/slot receiver/pass catching rb types (think hester/bush/harvin) that can wear any eligible numberopen the 40's for lb'sthis is a rough pass but I think the fans would be fine and would probably be easier on equipment managers switching between exhibition and the reg season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
