ADW77 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Do players playing in the Super Bowl get named to the Pro Bowl and then replaced by someone else? I'd like to buy a Pro Bowl jersey for one a Denver player because I like the jerseys, but I don't see any listed.However, since they were unable to participate, the reason you won't see any jerseys is because they didn't get 'drafted' onto a Pro Bowl team.

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietdealings Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 What the NFL needs to do is sell customizable prop Bowl uniforms. That way I can get myself a sweet DT team Sanders uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayFinkle Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Here's might be why... The broncos and Seahawks both have navy-ish end zones, but neither have a navy jersey. So there is plenty of contrast on the field itself. Seahawks with white jerseys and navy endzone, broncos with orange jerseys and navy endzone. If broncos endzone was orange it might be an overload of orange. If the broncos had chosen to wear navy jerseys then maybe we would have seen an orange endzone.That's a interesting thought. Makes some sense. But, both teams do have Navy helmets. And look back at other Super Bowls. One that comes to mind right away is all the yellow out there for GB/Pitt. Yellow pants, yellow helmets, yellow end zone for Pitt. I wonder if they could/would have done black endzone for Pitt? Oh also, the gold for Saints/Colts. Saints wore gold pants, had gold helmets, and the endzone - to my surprise, as I thought it would be black - was gold.And who knows why decisions like this are made, LOL.

ShlyKBMT Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Back in the day the of old helmet template (my favorite by the way). Endzones would contrast the helmet no matter what, even if it wasn't the teams primary color. Redskins: Burgundy helmet, yellow endzoneEagles: Kelly green helmet, grey endzoneChargers: Navy helmet, yellow endzoneSteelers: Black helmet, yellow endzoneGiants: Navy helmet, red endzoneBears: Navy helmet, orange endzone.Which always made me wonder what they would do with the Jets if they every made it when they were only green and white. I also dreamed of a columbia blue endzone in the Super Bowl for the Oilers since the dome endzones were so boring.Another thing that has bugged me. Does it seem like the wordmark for the teams is tiny some years compared to the old fields despite no helmets???? Last Year wasn't as bad.Super Bowl 47Super Bowl 46Super Bowl 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 They size the word marks so it fits the height of the end zone and whatever width it is it is. If you were wondering why theres a recent trend of wide font high kern word marks in the nfl it's because to fit nicely in the endzones. You make logos to fit the area that are predominantly used. There would be no way to make those giants and patriots word mark wider without messing with the proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I don't know if this is true, but I feel like the wordmark with Seattle overtop of Seahawks is their "official" wordmark. So it wouldn't surprise me to see the endzone have Seattle as well, just like it did in Super Bowl XL. For what it's worth, this is the only wordmark they have on the motherboard: ...

Jim Morgan Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Which always made me wonder what they would do with the Jets if they every made it when they were only green and white. You would have come close to seeing that in 1982. I remember an interview with George Toma at the time where he said because of the strike-shortened season leaving only one week between the conference championships and Superbowl XVII they had to create stencil templates for all 4 teams. (Jets, Dolphins, Cowboys, Redskins) I'm guessing that unfortunately it would have been a white or grey end zone with a green logo though due to the Jets Kelly green helmets at the time.Richard Todd and AJ Duhe put paid to us ever getting to see that though...Another thing that has bugged me. Does it seem like the wordmark for the teams is tiny some years compared to the old fields despite no helmets???? Last Year wasn't as bad.Yes, although it was nice to see the Bears and Colts end zone spaced properly. (Rams in XIV was an eyesore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the reason it was gold had anything to do with them wearing white?Dolphins in Superbowl XIX is the only radical departure from standards I can remember. I guess after 4 previous Superbowls with aqua they wanted to change things up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goforbroke Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yeah I think this would be it. You can't do white, so you can do green on green which looks fine even if it doesn't follow the template exactly, or you can make up a color to use like grey or black but why would you when green on green looks fine? The only other thing they could have done is make the helmets white but that makes even less sense when they did wear green helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morgan Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I guess that would have been it. The NFL would've had to break their own rules at the time because of the 82 Jets only having two colours with the other being white. Pity they couldn't have done it a few other times during that run. Eagles (XV) Giants (XIX, XXV) Rams (XIV) and Bears (XX) would've all had a much nicer look in their respective Super Bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Matt Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It doesn't look like paint, but more like a trap or some sort of covering. Plus the color isn't Navy. More like Black or a very dark grey. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycumbee19 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Definitely looks like tarps. I'm gonna keep wishing that to be true so I can continue to hold out hope that we see an orange endzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madden's usually inaccurate. Last year, they decorated Superdome in black and gold, but we ended up getting purple, yellow and green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 so we can tell atleast one of the end zones will be blue, but we don't know which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
