The helmet sucks. Have you seen the white helmet? The G is too big, but otherwise it is not bad. It would look great with the color rush white uniforms..
And if it snows that night no one will even know the Packers are on the field. Talk about disguising coverages.....
Hells Bells. Awesome. One of the dumbest gimmicks the NFL tried to come up with.
NFL to Dump Color Rush in 2018
One of the ways the NFL tried to get people to tune into Thursday Night Football in recent years was by featuring âColor Rushâ uniforms. Unfortunately, that strategy didnât exactly pan out, and more often than not those uniforms were universally excoriated, rather than praised.
Heading into 2018, the NFL is ditching those uniforms, Bill Wanger of FOX Sports announced on Tuesday. Additionally, he made it clear that scheduling will be a much bigger focus, which is a good thing considering so many Thursday night games had been total flops.
The next geenyus idea the NFL should have?
Ditch Thursday Night Football. Period.

If they really wanted to, they could easily schedule most of the Thursday night games so that would involve having teams play the Thursday immediately after their bye week. In that case, they'd have roughly 10 days on each side of the Thursday night game. Instead of one long 2 week bye, they'd get two 10 day recovery periods between games. Why they don't do that baffles me.
Good point, Mich. I like the 10-day idea. It's good that the color rush is dead. A few games were watchable -- GB in all-white and Chicago in all-dark comes to mind -- but many color rush games were unbearable to look at. Baby poop yellowish? Ketchup vs mustard? Christmas on an NFL field? Whoever thought of those should not be paid.
I like(d) the Packers all-White color rush uni's.
I wish they had gone all highlighter for one game.
To replace color rush they should do an alternate uni. Not throwback, something new. Just 1 game a year.
They could be like the NBA or MLB where they each have about 12 different uniforms...
"We call this color Infant Feces After Raisins,"
And prunes!
If you're feeding an infant prunes then you deserve everything you get.

Great marketing...just screams outdoors and camping.
Nice wide hood to tie down a deer.
I was eaten by one of those Citation hoods once and I'm not making it up!

I hear there's a guy with a Swastika fetish designing uniforms now.
I had an escort fall on me and not the fun expensive kind.
Sounds painful, and not the fun kind.
I for one did not like the rush uniforms. Being the traditionalist I am, I like the traditional uniforms. The throw back uniforms are interesting, but I wouldn't want to be a Pittsburgh Bumble Bee.
I thought the bumblebee uniforms were throwbacks, not color rush uniforms. And I liked them for how nuts they were .

Holy Crap! That was my first car!! 1980 Chevy ****ation! The color was Turd Brown however. Wow. Good Times. Good times. The back seat went down with the sun. Very room back. With the hatch up watching movies at the drive-in. Good times. Ahhhh. thanks.
My Brother bought a Citation 5 spd. brand new. I worked at the dealership. In the first month a snap ring broke in the transmission, The starter armature stripped off of the shaft and the oil pan developed a crack. He ended up driving the car over 200,000. He was in sales at the time. He kept breaking a little plastic clip that held the drivers window in the track. The clutch went out along with the clip. I'm replacing the clutch and he says "the next time that clip breaks I'm getting rid of it." It broke again the next week.

To me, nothing is as hideous as the broncos throwbacks:
I stand corrected, there are more hideous things, but I was talking about football uniforms only.
The uniform itself is not that bad.
But those socks!

I bought a used one for 500 bucks when I was in college, just to deliver pizzas in. The best feature? I could yank the key out while the car was still running. In the winter I would leave it running, take the key out to lock the car while I delivered pizzas to the dorms.
Good Times.
