Blue Falcon Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I found this over on the PFRA forum...anyone know if this is legit? It's supposed to be the Cardinals in BLUE jerseys vs. the 49ers in the 1950s.My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Looks like they did wear blue jerseys up until... 1952, if this page is correct.http://www.gridironuniforms.com/cardinals.html Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I believe that is correct as well...I think some of the teams wore jerseys in a contrasting color at times - sort of like a clash kit in soccer. This was before White jerseys were introduced. (I'm speculating a bit here.)Now, the countdown is on for the first poster to insist that the Cardinals also wore Blue jerseys in the '90s...based on the Blue fashion jerseys that were around...(It didn't happen.)

Mings Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thats what I figured this thread was going to be about when I opened it. I was pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tohasbo Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yeah even I know that the blue jerseys for the Cards never existed as a real jersey...just as a fashion jersey. I wanted one in the worst way when they were around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted one in the worst way when they were around.I remember liking the Cards' blue fashion jersey, it was one of the better-looking fashion jerseys they made.(I may or may not have owned not one, but two gold 49ers fashion jerseys...) *puke smiley* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thats what I figured this thread was going to be about when I opened it. I was pleasantly surprised.Same here...either the fashion jersey or "Holy crap the Cardinals had a blue jersey in Madden 05 did they actually wear this>>!>!>1?!!?"That being said, that's probably the main reason why I'm not shocked to see that the Cardinals did indeed wear blue jerseys at some point in their history.

illwauk Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Had to look up the fashion jersey for myself.Not bad! I wouldn't want to Cardinals to actually wear it, but it might be a good look for the Wildcats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claystation360 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Like when the lions wore scarlet and black for a few seasons and the Rams started with red and black before going to gold and blue. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The Redskins once wore BLUE uniforms for a game vs. the Brooklyn Dodgers. Apparently, the Dodgers insisted on wearing their red uniforms or just did not bring the blues and the Redskins had a burgundy that was close enough to the red to cause confusion. We had no white jerseys at that time, only one set which was B&G. Where we got the blue jerseys, I don't know.Is this what Slingin' Sammy looked like on a day in 1942 against the Dodgers?Note: This amateur-ly colorized picture is not from that game, but a different game against the Bears.Source:The Gridiron Uniform Database: Go!
