NFL Uniforms 2011 (Week 1)

[JohnnySeoul]

gloves and cleats lance Briggs will be wearing on Sunday. Apparently he will be getting fined too

Why would they fine him? Isn't that just begging for vitriol to be thrown Goodell's way?

Number one, the NFL has always been super strict on their uniform codes. Secondly, that's a gross violation of U.S. Flag Code.

Uh, no. The US Flag is nowhere on them. Yea, there are parts of the flag (only technically), but the whole flag (which is what makes it the US Flag, NOT parts of it) is not on there.

US Flag theme is not anywhere close to being the actual US Flag.

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.

(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.

(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.

I'd say all of these apply here, and don't refer only to a literal flag.

"NEVER FORGET REEBOK".

That's pretty good advice - if we all remember what they've done, maybe they'll never get the NFL contract again.

You couldn't be more wrong. Where's the ACTUAL US Flag on there?

I only see the colors: red, white, blue, and few stars. If you can show me the actualy US Flag on Briggs' 9/11 themed stuff, by all means do it. If not, then get over it.

Red, white, blue, and stars DOES NOT equal the US Flag. Many other countries use those combos too (see pics below). Its when the ACTUAL Us Flag is being used then its technically a violation.

[Buster]

Briggs has a point...I hope there is a big backlash against the league if they try to fine him. Better yet, I hope as many players as possible get these shoes and gloves.

If the teams have to wear hot pink for a month EVERY season, but can't show some patriotism on a VERY IMPORTANT, SOLEMN date...ridiculous.

I support Briggs in this 100%. Now just stop whining about your contract again and stop asking for trades.

Are you saying it's not meant to signify the U.S. flag? On 9/11, do you really think it may be implying any of the other flags you cited? Also, see the "no part of the flag..." clause. Clear up any ambiguity?

[Island_Style]

Still, it is a stars and stripe pattern, but not the US flag. I dont see 50 stars and 13 stripes. You couldnt be more wrong.

All I'm saying is you need to know what you're talking about when you site violations. You are 100% worng, period. Something that can possibly resemble the US Flag is NOT the US Flag. How hard is that to understand? It doesn't matter if it is an United States of American theme while using the colors: red, white, and blue and adding a few stars. Again, the ACTUAL US Flag does not appear on there, so therefore it's ok. By your point of view, the former WLAF Ohio Glory's logo, colors, and uniforms would be a viloation too....which they WERE NOT.

Your opinion and actual fact are obviously two different things. If you're going to state something like this, them let it be known that it's only your opinion and not a fact.

That is all.

Jets are going to wear their green jersey Sunday night, no word on which pants yet. Hopefully not green. Jets look like pickles in all green.

I hope no green/green all year hate that look.

They will also wear Titans throwbacks week 2 vs. the Jaguars

[dennisbergan]

I hope no green/green all year hate that look.

Yes, it would be better if they just wore all white for 16 games instead.

Nothing at all wrong with 2 games a year, wearing all green. I'd expect the first "all green" game to be the primetime game against New England.

Green on green looks awesome IMO! It is much better than white on white.

Titan thrownbacks should be thrown in the trash.

Why the hell would we wear a uniform of a team that never finished over .500 in their 3 years of existence?

Wanna wear a throwback, wear these.

Heck, the Jets should always wear these. The green they wear now is too dark.

[dissident93]

Any word on if the Redskins will indeed, wear their gold/yellow pants? I don't see why not, they wore them twice against the Giants last year.

Too bad. I was looking forward to finally seeing the Cowboys in blue.

Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw's cleats for this weekend

[Mongoose]

I am surprised that the NFL hasn't jumped on the "patriotic" gloves and cleats idea. There are some players doing it, but the league hasn't organized anything yet. It seems right up their alley, considering their Breast Cancer Awareness month.

This thread isn't officially the weekly NFL Uniforms note until Dennissbergan joins the party:

"The Cowboys will be in their white jersey's [sic] and silver-green pantaloos"

I was thinking I wouldn't have to go back to that schtick again this year. Because I assumed that the Jets would be wearing white in their home opener against Jerry's kids.

After wearing white jersey's and silver/green knickers for all 19 non-throwback games in the 2010 campaign, by looking at the schedule they may do the exact same thing again this year. Unless somebody throws a curveball out there and wears white at home that normally wouldn't, I think the classic/worn out whites will be there all year again this year for America's Team.
