Brian E Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The Cardinals unveiled their new black alternate jerseys today. http://www.azcardinals.com/news-and-events/article-1/Cards-Unveil-Third-Jerseys/6e2be357-cf77-4b42-a3e9-7a45140071d0Here are some pics:Can't say I'm thrilled with the black. And the article that the link directs you to says the team couldn't change their helmet color since it's not a throwback. I think a red helmet may have made this tolerable. But this with a black pants stripe and black socks. It's going to look very college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The Cards break tradition with black alts, yet the facemack remains gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Unlike the red one, this one says "falcons" to me.

rmackman Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 ....and now we are one step closer to the day when every team in every sport wears black. =( "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 We've been discussing them here:http://boards.sports...ic=71171&st=680I hate the megathread - IMO each unveiling (there will be more than just this and the Bears, right?) should have it's own thread. Actually, I thought this was the agreement a while ago. It sucks looking back through a huge thread to find a pics or comments on one team's new jersey.

STL FANATIC Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Yeah they're black. Yeah the other dominant color is just white. Lame, blah, blah.But honestly? These look GREAT. Very nice. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 They really look a lot like the Falcons whether they're in red or black. They'd have been better off doing something simple with the Sedona Red that the Diamondbacks and the TIF District use, or finally using the classic cardinal uniform. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I know Cardinal is a bird but it's also a color. It's like if the Blue Jackets were to wear Red Jerseys.They're nice looking jerseys but who do they think they are the Falcons?

knnhrvy16 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 They aren't too bad, I just wish that the numbers would be red outlined in white, to differentiate itself from the Falcons a little. Also, I have always wanted to see Arizona put the state flag back on the sleeves, and was hoping to see it try that with this alt, but that didn't happen. Overall an okay jersey, i'd say a solid "C". The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

Quillz Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 They're not bad, but did the Cardinals REALLY need a black alternate? The Lion didn't need one, neither do the Cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I don't think these look anything like the Falcons jerseys (Ok, maybe a little), but the Falcons don't even wear the black jerseys anymore. Both teams wear red and black, what did you want them to do? Wear a yellow alt? Oh yeah, that would've gone over well. Personally I think they look kind of like the Louisville Cardinals, which isn't a bad thing at all.

Blue Falcon Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 They're not bad, but did the Cardinals REALLY need a black alternate? The Lion didn't need one, neither do the Cards.Ever notice that the teams who add a black alternate jersey haven't won anything in years? Take a look:Arizona (last title 1947)Detroit (last title 1957)Philadelphia (last title 1960)Atlanta (no titles)Jacksonville (no titles)In fact, MOST of the teams who have added alternate jerseys did so YEARS after their last title or have NEVER won a title:Denver (exception)New England (exception)NY Giants (exception)Miami (last title 1973)Cincinnati (no titles)Cleveland (last title 1964)Houston (no titles)Tennessee (no NFL titles)San Diego (no NFL itles)Chicago (last title 1985)Carolina (no titles)Seattle (no titles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoops McCann Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 atlanta falconsI dunno. With the white helmets on, they'll look nothing like the Atlanta Falcons. Black shirt plus white helmet is another new NFL combination... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
