Yeah, never a big fan of the Cowpies, Browns, Dolphins white jerseys all the time thing. Need some Black and Gold in the Dome happenin'.

Not that the Browns really look or play any better in their dark jerseys...

Hate the black on black

Looks like men in tights.

Nothing says we're gonna kick your ass like men in tights wearing a french flower on the helmet.

We won the Superbowl in the white jerseys........I will always love them.
However, I also like some color.

Well we've won 2 in a row in White & Black so if its good juju keep wearing it until it runs out (which I hope is never)

I like the gold pants with wide black stripe. Either Jersey with those looks great, but at home, black is menacing.

Black & Black reminds me of Arena League.

Ahhhhh!!!!

Nothing more demeaning than getting your ass kicked by men in tights wearing a french flower on the helmet.

Ill rephrase that so it looks better for you.

I prefer the Black shirt/gold pants. The black pants look good with white shirts, but the black on black is kinda weird to look at. But at this point I'm just glad to see a black jersey.

White Jersey/Black Pants

Black Shirt/Gold Pants

Anything else is what those other kids wear...

Re: BLACK ON BLACK !
 
Yes all black is my fave!! Just posted this on another site... Black & white and black & black are my faves and as usual, I'm in the minority. The thing is, they look contemporary. If they're going to use gold pants, change them somehow. They are tired looking. Go solid gold with no stripes like the black pants. I know we won the SB in them, but I didn't care for it then. It has always been my least favorite.

As far as the all black looking like tights, I kind of agree. I love them better with white socks and the black stripe at the top. To me, they look Raven-intimidating in them.

And none of my preferences have to do with win-loss records. Just the look.

Re: BLACK ON BLACK !
 
It may be coincidence but winning the last two games with white shirts seems to suggest that Drew can pick out his receivers better when they are wearing a shirt thats more visible, especially outdoors! Black shirts look great but not with black pants! They remind me of male ballet dancers! Plus, we are known as the black and GOLD nation, not the black and black nation!

Anyway, they can wear pink and green with blue polka dots all over them for all I care as long as they keep winning! :-)

Throwbacks. I liked ours.

Wish they would put the state of LA back on the jersey.

TheOak 10-28-2012 01:30 PM

Speaking of uniforms.... There is NOTHING uglier than what Pittsburgh is presently wearing.

Even Bradshaw wants to vomit.

Re: BLACK ON BLACK !
 
I like the black and black also, it's attitude and aggression to me. This team doesn't have the swagger to wear them this year.

Budsdrinker 11-01-2012 10:29 AM

Re: BLACK ON BLACK !
 
Well you've got your wish. They are wearing black on black Monday night according to the Saints twitter feed.

This was actually a THING. Somebody (not me) once figured it all out and laid it out there, how it works, but I don't remember the details of it now.

In the Payton era, the team kinda has like these little rules and superstitions, or guidelines, about the uniforms; I think they come from him.

They wear white jerseys and gold pants at home in the preseason and early part of the year; they wear the black on black only at night home games later in the year; they wear the white jerseys and black pants in certain road games, and the white jerseys and gold pants in others. (There is some mysterious reason to it but I don't have a clue what.)

I remember reading about this, where someone (can't remember who) once said that Payton kinda likes the white jerseys and black pants in the road uniform better, than the gold, but he respects the gold pants as a tradition and realizes they are important and popular. But the theory was that he started inching the team towards the black pants and white jersey look, because the black pants/white jerseys look kinda like the Bears, and of course Payton is an Illinois kinda guy and played for the Bears, when they were wearing a similar scheme in the 80s. That was what somebody said.

But apparently there is kind of a method to the madness, of what uniforms they pick, somewhat. It is pretty consistent what they do -- you can kind of predict it.

Do you know the reason behind them not wearing the golden jerseys anymore? They've worn them during SP's era a couple of times, but the last time was already a couple of years ago if my memory serves me right.

Re: BLACK ON BLACK !
 
the owner of the team said years ago he don't approve of the black on black after a bad lost. he quoted that all black made us look small and weak. does anyone else remember this?

Not maybe...a black helmet TOO!

I like the gold/white look. when your shirt & your britches are both solid colors... well mama said not to do that. It looks arena league.

But I wouldnt mind it for the Eagles game.

Re: BLACK ON BLACK !
 
I hope Black on Black isn't for a funeral.
Hope rings eternal.
Maybe they will tackle better in Black.
Maybe they will get some push off the edge in Black.
Maybe they will stuff the run with all Black.
Perhaps, they will commit to running the ball in Black.
The screen plays might start working again if they wear Black.
The play calling might even improve if they wear Black.
I'm all for it if any of the above becomes true.

Wish it was black tops and gold pants. The less we look like last week's team the better!
