Sport Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 It's amazing how one little detail like full green socks can make or break the Jets road uniformsSidenote: it is really hard to find any picture of the Jets wearing white on white with the green sock.

ohryan Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I've never been a fan of white-on-white. It looks okay on some teams, but it just seems too clean and sterile to me. Now back when players used to play in the mud, well that's a different story. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) those days are -for the most part- long gone.Well, it's not exactly Colts vs Giants from the 1950's but here's some mud for ya....courtesy of Soldier Field.Soldier Field is the exception - their turf is worse than the grass softball fields at the county fairground.

Brad tripped and fell right into a mud-puddle. None of the other players got all muddied up like he did. They had given the natural surface at Soldier Field high-ratings on the night.

TheOldRoman Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 It's amazing how one little detail like full green socks can make or break the Jets road uniformsIt's amazing how much better the Lions looked back then. I actually don't mind the white socks on the white jersey. It at least saves us from the players who wear solid green socks or only show an inch of white above their ankles.

JohnnySeoul Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm watching the Browns/Bears preseason game and I have to admit, the Browns' all-white (including socks) just looks really REALLY plain this season. I love traditional uni's and I'm a diehard Browns fan, but the all-whites look like out there tonight.

GriffinM6 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I honestly hate falcons all white, I think all NFL teams should use colored pants on the road, except the Chiefs. Just look at the comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love traditional uni's and I'm a diehard Browns fan, but the all-whites look like out there tonight.. . . I would like the white on white set better if the top of the socks were brown about 2/3, and the bottom the other 1/3 white. I have this same problem with the BILLS all-white uniforms set. JETS doing the same thing ... I don't gettit It looks like Colt is wearing a 2nd pair of socks in white which aren't as long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the comparison.Personally I prefer the all White Falcons uni there! I restate my general rule, if you wear white pants with your colored jersey, all whites are fine. Some teams look better in colored pants, but in general all whites aren't a problem to me. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDuck Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I restate my general rule, if you wear white pants with your colored jersey, all whites are fine.Redskins. Not only do all-whites bring back memories of the Steve Spurrier era (*shudder*), but they just plain don't look good.IMO Skins should only ever have three sets: burgundy on white, burgundy on gold (strictly on occasion), and white on burgundy. Everything else looks terrible. No more white on white, white on gold, or burgundy on burgundy. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched some of that game and I thought both teams looked dull. I'm going to blame Soldier Field's awful nighttime lighting. Wait for a sunny autumn day and I think the Browns will look good (or as good as the Brown can look) again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The all white looks unbalanced on the Jets because of the green sleeves on their jersey, but the green pants help rectify this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went so long with the horrible solid brown socks with their white/white combo, that it made the white striped socks look great last season. But 2nd time around, they now just look boring. Orange striped socks would better balance out the logo-less orange helmet when wearing the white/white combo.

DCDuck Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Did the Redskins ever wear all-white during the Spurrier era? I associate the whites with the 2005 playoff run under Gibbs.We wore all-white during the Monday night game in '02 against the Eagles. That was the first time we did so. After Spurrier left, we kept the all-whites for a while, and wore them under Zorn as well.To me, the all-whites (also all-burgundy... NEVER AGAIN!) represent mediocrity and Dan Snyder's prying fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
