oldschoolvikings Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm beginning to wonder if the NFL has implemented a rule, perhaps since Nike took over, that a team cannot have more than 3 sets of pants including throwback/alternate??If that's not a rule, it bloody well ought to be.Agreed. Actually, the rule should be two "regular" pants, plus a throwback.I agree with everyone that having more than 2 pant options plus a throwback/alt is crazy but like I said above only one team has had more than 3 pant options in a single season excluding anniversary years since 2002, and that was the Rams starting in 2009.Are you sure? Seems to me the Titans have 3, although you almost never see the white anymore. Also, Broncos (navy, white w/ orange stripe, and white w/ navy stripe) and maybe the Falcons (white w/ black piping, white w/ red piping, and black... I know they've dumped the black, but not sure when it happened).I think you are confused in what is being said. What I said is I agree that there should not be more than 3 total (2 base and 1 either alt or throwback) but I also said that no one but the Rams have had more than 3 pant options in a single season since 2002 not counting anniversary years. Your three examples prove my point Titans 3, Broncos 3, Falcons 3... last time I checked having 3 is not more than 3 The only team since 2002 to have more than 3 options in one season not counting the AFL anniversary season was the Rams 2009 to 2011 (Gold, White, Blue and Throwback)Yep, somehow I missed the "more than" part... my bad. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenTino Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 It appears the Browns have updated their style guide since this thread was started as well and have gotten rid of the away pant with the thinner stripes on the side and will only have one pant option this season.Browns ColorBrowns WhiteWait, what?The only time in the past decade the Browns have worn pants with thinner stripes was this throwback set they wore for a few home games.As an aside, I've never understood why they only wore those striped socks with the throwback brown jerseys. For the regular uniforms the last few years, it's been stripes matching the sleeves for the white uniforms and solid brown socks to go with the brown jerseys. And the striped socks they're going with now don't match anything at all in the set. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you wear them with one set, they should be worn with all. Also big fan of the numbers on the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook: CustomSportsCovers Twitter: CSCovers Quote No because when the Irish came to Ireland and first came in contact with the leprechaun people, they didn't take their land away and force them to move west. Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

canzman Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Did you ever post the black Jaguars uniforms?So in doing some research it turns on that Jaguars Sr. VP of Communications, Dan Edwards, made this comment back in early April..."The Jaguars could wear the black jerseys as an alternate this season, but Edwards said there is "no answer" whether they will or not. He said the team was waiting for the schedule to be released and would evaluate it after that depending on what primetime games, if any, the team is given."LinkSo based on the fact that he said that they "could" that is pretty much confirmation from the team, and based on the fact that they will play primetime on NFL Network against the Colts at home in week 10 leads me to think that the blacks are confirmed for that week.So from his comments my gut feelings say that they will only pull these out for just the one primetime game against the Colts this season. If that is the case then I think they will opt for the all black look and not the black and white.Jaguars Alternate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense why they were scrubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a problem with that.It's not a problem to me either, its just very redundant, I mean I guess it would be one thing if they were slightly different but they're the same exact graphic, he just moved the helmets to the side.
