Lights Out Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I really like the white pants for the Giants. They have history with white pants, so it works.other than the lions I can't think of an nfl club that doesn't have at least a brief history with white pants.The Packers.The 1950s.Also, Detroit wore white pants in 1948 and 1949.

powersurge Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I've been screaming for the G-Men to go back to white pants but that is just terrible. Did they really need the grey??? Wow, almost seems like a copy of the Ohio State stripe pattern. SMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, almost seems like a copy of the Ohio State stripe pattern. SMHActually, yes. Otherwise the grey face mask would stick out like a sore thumb. Grey is still very much a Giants team color. They definitely got it right by including grey in the pants stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the first I time I have ever seen that. From what I could tell, looks like the pack wore white pants for the 57&58 seasons. In 58 it seems they actually wore green over white at home and all white uniforms with dark blue trim on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckymack Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Considering the Colts will have been in Indy longer than they were in Baltimore by 2015, I think not. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Damn...I assumed the G-men would just go with this pants stripe (which is far better IMO). Guess that's what happens when you assume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely got it right by including grey in the pants stripe.I rarely ever consider grey to be deemed as a team color unless of course you are referring to silver. To my knowledge (and I could be wrong) the G-Men don't utilize silver as a team color. Utilizing a grey face mask is more about neutrality, which is exactly what they were shooting for considering the long history of this uniform. I don't buy the use of the grey in the pants. It takes a classic looking simple uni and overly clutters it for me. I find it totally unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawls Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I like the addition of gray on the pant stripe because it coordinates with the gray on the helmet.

I find it totally unnecessary.Agreed, but they've been cluttering up their uniform for a while now. The home uniform was perfect when they unveiled it, and all the tweaks have been downgrades.

Besides these new alternate pants, they wear grey pants for every game. A face mask can be a neutral color (grey) but the same can't be said for pants.

Sodboy13 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Via the Colts Facebook page, 30 seasons in Indianapolis:The random gray circle in the back kills this. Otherwise it's nice.Gray was part of the Colts' color scheme when they moved to Indy. They wore gray pants at home, and had blue-gray-blue shoulder and pants stripes on the road.Really strange font choices, though. That "30" is very "1970s cop show credits".

WSU151 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 not a big fan of what the Colts came up with, so i made this (using the redesigned horseshoe i also recently did)The bottom stripes are a tad off-center. Because of this, the blue arc below the banner seems off too. Might just be my eyes. Edit - using photoshop, I confirmed the left and right parts of the arc below the banner aren't symmetrical. Just a minor fix. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
