BBTV Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I think the point of helmets being de facto team logos, and the rule that everybody's facemask needs to be the same color both invalidate the "equipment" claim.

Those would look a lot worse imo if they were black or a team color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Probably nothing, but the Lions have black pants this training camp:While the Lions have used black shorts in the past, whenever they've gone with pants, they've always been silver:Just something to keep on eye on...are there any more images of the black pants, they dont appeat to be in the PC cut, but it's also hard to tell from this angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I mean, I thought the revo-speed looked terrible when it first hit the field. Now it's the standard at the collegiate level.Yes, and it still looks terrible. Now it just looks terrible all over the place. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

ThorSkaagi Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Not sure if it's been reported already, but the Titans are gonna wear their navy blue jerseys on October 20th (SF) and November 10th (JAX) in honor of their 15th anniversary as the Titans. It'll be the first time the uniform's been worn since 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentColon Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Lewand admitted the excitement surrounding a potential alternate is felt within the walls of Allen Park, but the Lions must also "preserve our traditions."LOL, does preserving tradition come with losing seasons and being the laughing stock of the NFL?

The reasons for making the switch were practical."The black pants in practice are really just an outgrowth of black shorts when it's a shorts practice. It's a stock Nike product," he said.

Island_Style Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 It may have already been posted but we think we know what the Jags will be wearing at home this year. First two home games will be white. Teal against the Chargers. White for the London game then black for the last four home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could go back to our real Honolulu blue and silver throwbacks with no black and Calvin could still pull that off," Lewand joked. In other words, this pinhead is saying that Calvin would look good even in something as ugly as our old throwbacks.Moron http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Not sure if it's a uniform change per se, but the Giants DT Marvin Austin has a new facemask design which I haven't seen before.I don't usually care about facemask designs but that's badass.
