The uniforms don't go with the helmet at all.

it's just that the red is too bright... it looks like these infamous pics..




edit- if they were like Texes Tech's uni's.. I think that would be fine... but just not bright red, with that dark black.

...to wear in this f**king heat

I'd be willing to bet we see them on Monday and Thursday night this year.

Unless the rules are changed, I don't believe Alts are allowed in prime time games.

The NFL was the last of the major professional sports leagues to adopt the third jersey rule in 2002, with the only exceptions being the 1994 season, when teams issued a throwback uniform in honor of the league's 75th Anniversary. Initially, the NFL rule stated that a team may wear their third jersey only once a year, however, after one year this restriction was increased to twice a year. There are currently no rules on wearing alternate pants. Teams are also permitted to wear alternate jerseys as often as desired in playoff games (except the Super Bowl, where teams must wear their standard uniforms); the only team to do so (other than in 1994) was the 2008 San Diego Chargers.

Some teams will generally use one of their third jersey allotments against a particular division opponent each year. For instance, the San Diego Chargers always wear their popular powder blue third jerseys at home against the Oakland Raiders, while the Houston Texans are known to wear their "Battle Red" third uniforms at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Pittsburgh Steelers are known to wear their throwbacks at home against the archrival Baltimore Ravens. The New York Giants were known to wear their red third jerseys at home against the Dallas Cowboys until the red jerseys were retired in 2009.

When wearing their third jerseys, especially if the team is wearing a throwback uniform, the team may theme the field around the uniforms. When the New York Jets, for instance, wear their 1960–1962 "Titans of New York" throwbacks at home, they will paint the field in the Titans blue-and-gold color scheme. (The Jets' current color scheme is green and white.) In addition, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dressed the field up in Orange when they wore their Creamsicle throwbacks in 2009.

Teams will generally wear their third jerseys at home, though the Carolina Panthers are known to wear their electric blue third jerseys on the road (especially in Tampa) if the home team opts to wear their white jerseys against the Panthers and the weather is very hot. The Jets have also worn their Titans throwbacks once in 2007 against the Miami Dolphins at Dolphin Stadium in Miami.

Because the football helmet is such a significant and visible part of the football uniform, some teams also wore alternate helmets when wearing their third jersey. This was particularly true for throwback uniforms, such as those worn by the Steelers (yellow), Jets/Titans (yellow), and Buccaneers (white). The NFL outlawed the use of alternate helmets beginning in the 2013 season.

I'm just glad to have an alternate uni, finally! The black and red is cool with me, I think it gives us a more modern look. We need to stop living in the past and move into the future.

Maybe the rule I remember is outdated...I hope so, because murdered out jerseys only really work at night.

Those jerseys are f**king hideous. Would rather go without an alt as opposed to that cheap looking s**t

+1 for butt f**king ugly

So what has Ol Jed got up his sleeve for us next?

what better way to save money than to have our "new" alternate jerseys be exactly the same as the practice jerseys?

Yeah, screw tradition. Lets just go full Arena League and forget all about our classic, winning history.

This thread totally reenforces what an awful group of fans there are in here.

I agree. They will where it at a night game on primetime. I hate that it would take away from us wearing the red and gold on primetime.

But if the players like it, it's all good. I heard last year when i was watching college football that the players actually get really excited for the alternate jerseys. Gets them pumped and they like the change to something more modern.
