Don't complain about our uniforms again.

[Digging dog]

The Jets And The Bills are wearing by far some of the worst uniforms ever.
Looks like Christmas decorations rolling around.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

I kinda like them. Especially the Jets.

Any reason they are both wearing home jerseys? What are we supporting/highlighting/drawing attention to/railing against/creating awareness about?

I dunno. 2 New York teams?

It's red/green colorblindness awareness week. #isufferfromit

 

[jakldawg]

One of my buddies is red/green color blind. I'm going to ask what he thinks about this.

I've also heard that the visiting team wearing a white jersey didn't really start happening until the games started being televised regularly.

 

[patdog]

I don't see the problem with either of them. Or both of them on the same night.

 

[BullDawgsAmen]

I thought this would be a thread about the VT uniforms. They were ugly as hell.

It's a new Nike/NFL promotion for Thursday night games called "Color Rush." It'll continue for the rest of this year, and EVERY team is supposed to participate next year. Next week is Titans in all light blue vs Jaguars in all gold.

That was exactly my thought when I flipped over to that game. Couldn't stand it ... went back to Ga Tech/Va Tech after a few minutes.

 

[RocketDawg]

Ga Tech and Va Tech both wore "home" uniforms too ... or at least colored jerseys. If you were still in the B&W television age you couldn't tell the teams apart.

consider yourself lucky. my fellow full spectrum viewers and i were the only ones suffering last night.

All part of the liberal war on white unis. I need a safe space.

 

[Col. Forbin]

^^Nice. Hadn't heard that in a while.

 

[bully12]

Jets and Bills looked like a bunch of candy canes running around out there last night. So painful I had to turn it off.

 

[Digging dog]

Last time I saw colors that vivid...... Uhh nevermind.

This spool is Croom without axes.

UniWatch did a piece about this recently. From what I remember, the only reason for requiring light vs dark uniform combinations was black and white TV. It became pretty entrenched, but now that everyone has color TV, people are starting to re-think it. The NBA for instance is using dark vs dark uniforms this year.

Light vs dark uniforms is discussed some here
