But now the Colts are going to do something stupid. This feels like an unnecessary black uniform.

 

 

 

Everyone getting new uniform reveals except for the Eagles.

Agreed. If you look at college uniforms, a lot of schools are going back to the basics and it's very refreshing. Every throwback that the NFL has released this summer has been getting RAVE reviews. Maybe the NFL will catch on and realize that the majority of fans want their classic uniforms. Not these stupid new age uniforms that Nike keeps designing. 

That would require egos who want to make their mark being kept in check and no way in hell that's happening. I wish though.

I do respect that certain teams have rarely changed their uniforms at all in decades. Bears, Packers, Steelers, etc.

Anyone on threads or twitter that can ask the official account when we're getting the reveal?

Literally every tweet for the past month from the Eagles has 100's of people asking

Do all MLB teams go back and forth regarding possible surgeries for their pitchers? Seems like every time a Phillies pitcher needs TJ, it takes them months to realize it and it just pushes their timeframe back even further. 

I'd be offering Painter up in any trade now just because of the Phillies luck with injured pitchers. 

This made me wonder. Could the NFL somehow do an entire "Retro week" without sacrificing quality of broadcasts?

Don't think they could or would be willing to broadcast games in lower picture quality to make it a true retro broadcast. Or without the yellow first down lines and stuff. Fans would hate that.

Maybe use old school scoreboard graphics and music?

I wonder if there's a way they could do it without hurting the viewing experience and if so what types of things they could do?

They don't even need retro week. They have the perfect outlet and that's TNF. They could do Throwback Thursdays for every TNF game. I know it would get me interested 100% in watching those games. I have no idea why they don't take that idea and run with it.

Throwback uniforms, broadcasts, fields, graphics. The whole 9 yards.

It would be funny if these were the kind of responses that were getting put on the complaining running back tweets.

Show them no one cares about there issues until our eagles get their kelly green uniforms

Im telling you now, the Throwback Kelly Greens color wont match. Nike has screwed the colors all up. Aparantly the children forced to make the jerseys are color blind

I would geek out if a CBS game had the old school CBS music and graphics though. FOX's music hasn't changed, but same premise there with the graphics.

Imagine putting on a game at 1 pm and getting this instead.

Oh that takes me back. Ugh, I miss football from 20+ years ago. Going to be weird this year since Fox and CBS don't have conference specific games anymore.

If they announce the "Kelly Green" jerseys and they turn out to be some Nike neon atrocity I'm rioting

Do you look at this and think Oilers throwback or do you look at it and think another black uniform?

Love the idea of throwback broadcasts but I have a stinking suspicion that means the Dandy Don, Howard Cosell approach.

Definitely Oilers. No idea why the new team was named the Texans in the first place, they should've just named them Oilers again.

I think of their insane collapse vs the Bills. The Frank Reich game. That was one of the best games ever.

What about a week where they can play some tough defense?

Players and former players are so damn dumb lmao. There are probably 200+ rostered RB vs 32 kickers, I would bet if you averaged the starters salaries it would probably be triple the average kicker's salary

You can also make a case that Tucker is more valuable/irreplaceable than any non-top 15 running back. And all those guys are making more than Tucker. 

I'm in Houston and the Texans radio guys are kinda butthurt about the Texans.

The Titans are the Oilers. Its the same franchise and the Oilers history is the Titans history. The Texans are a 2002-present franchise with no Oilers history.

Amy Adams Strunk is all about Love Ya Blue and all that history even though they are in Tennessee.

I'd expect the classic light blue unis.
