Looking forward to the classic looking Eagles/Cardinals game featuring the Black/Black/White Cardinals vs the Green/White/Black Eagles.
I mean, if you have a red team and a green team, people who are color blind might have a hard time telling them apart. Making it a black-and-white game makes it equally impossible for everybody to tell the teams apart. (And midnight green helmets look pretty close to black in various lighting.)
Dammit, Nike… and dammit, NFL. Put common sense ahead of profits for once.
Sorry to reply to myself, but an additional thought: if I were an undefeated team, I would go switching up what had worked thus far to bust out the black pants (which the Eagles shouldn’t have in the first place but that ship sailed).
Tweeted at both the Eagles and Jets last night about the black pants. Was enjoying the beautiful look of a green football team wearing green pants on the road and just green and white. Kudos to the Saskatchewan Roughriders! No black pants in their wardrobe at present.

i’m missing a trick on that orlando uni. looks like it belongs in a pamphlet for some kind of disney spook-tacular mardi gras event.
+100 on the Mardi Gras reference. I’ve seen that font on jerseys for both the Pelicans and the Baby Cakes (former AAA baseball team).
Magic City??? More like Tragic City. Boring and uninspired. Like 90% of Nike’s uniform “designs.” If you’re out of ideas, perhaps it’s time to slow down on the endless uniform releases. Again, I’ll ask: who’s buying this crap??
Shaq might take it a step further …
TRAGIC SEEDY alert!
