Pariah Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Tampa has the choice of which uniforms they wish to wear. They wore white at home earlier in the season, but that's when it was really warm. The one thing that I've read is definitively off the table is their all-pewter look.

Starlord Posted January 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 There is orange striping on the jersey, does that qualify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I'm sure they're referring to the main color of the jersey. I checked and Peyton won SB50 in a white jersey (with blue and orange accents of course). But is it the color of the jersey, or is it that historically awful franchises happen to wear orange?

Denver has actually won three times--twice wearing white (XXXIII against Atlanta and 50 against Carolina), and once wearing navy (XXXII against Green Bay). Of the Broncos' five Super Bowl losses, four of them--XII against Dallas, XXII against Washington, XXIV against San Francisco, and XLVIII against Seattle--came with Denver wearing orange. Denver's lone loss in white was in Super Bowl XXI against the Giants. And yes, the Broncos are tied for the most Super Bowl losses--with New England. (New England should have the record at six. Thanks a heap, Atlanta.) Only eight teams besides the Broncos and Patriots have five or more Super Bowl appearances. Denver lost three Super Bowls in four years, a streak of championship game futility surpassed only by the Buffalo Bills, who lost four straight. But Buffalo is the only team to go to four straight Super Bowls, so there's that. I saw an article once that showed Super Bowl wins by jersey color. White was far and away the highest, of course, with 32 wins in the first 50 games. Blue and red were next at five wins each, followed by black at four, green at three, and aqua at one. All of which is probably more than you needed to know. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 But have the results been corrected for jersey color frequency? If there as only one team in the NFL that wore black jerseys, for example, that could be a statistically significant result. And who is aqua?

Pariah Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think black counts for both the Raiders and the Bears. Aqua is the Dolphins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Bears are, IIRC, navy blue, not black. Black and gold == Steelers. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 There are a number of teams that wear navy blue. Chicago's jerseys always look darker than that. But yes, I seem to remember reading that navy blue was the official color. It makes more sense to have the Steelers in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 See, when I think of a DII uniform in the NFL, this is what comes to mind: I think KC has a classic look. YMMV, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV, of course. I think you could take a picture of the KC team in formation from a distance, show it to most football fans, and tell them it was Southwestern Missouri State. And be believed. It honestly looks like a college team from a small town that couldn't afford the extra $20 per uniform to add two colors instead of one.

Of course, having a track team who can actually catch the ball (something to many wide receivers can't seem to do in todays nfl) helps and having a QB who can literally throw the ball against his momentum almost as well as with it.

unclevlad Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 HOLY cow.... Rams and Lions... Stafford to Rams Goff, 2 first rounders and a third rounder to the Lions Tells us how much Goff's value has fallen. I kinda think one of the 1st round picks was because Goff's contract is hard to swallow, considering his performance. Still a surprise. Lions might just be planning to spend the 2 years they're stuck with Goff to build around the QB, then try to draft the Next Instant Star QB. CBS Sports gives the Texans a D- for signing David Culley as their coach...much of it being because the visuals are bad, and it's going to do nothing to reassure Watkins. Rather the opposite, in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
