2011 NFL Uniform Thread

I only expect the Reebok logo will change to a Nike logo and that's it for us. Maybe the fabric will look slightly different. :D

Don't expect Nike to come in and go all Pro Combat on the league...the teams have identities and traditions and the league has a strict uniform policy.

I'll believe it when I see it.

In the throw back uniforms the team used yellow.
Last year they used a more mustard color.

So in all reality I'd prefer they use the actual color for a change. Just take a moment and Google "yellow", "mustard color", and "gold" and you will see the differences. Maybe use actual "gold" and "burgundy" with a hint of metal flake to make the helmets pop.

Stop with the Mustard and Yellow. The Skins use GOLD. Athletic Gold is far different than a traditional gold like the 49ers and Saints use.

Well you made my case and point.

2002-present: mustard
1997-2001: mustard
1980-1996: yellow
1978-1979: mustard
1972-1977: mustard
1970-1971: mustard
1965-previous: GOLD

All I'm saying is I'd like to see the team get back to an original color gold. You all can hate it all you want but Florida state uses an actual gold which is what we should be using instead of yellow.

Funny, I don't see the term mustard anywhere in Buster's post, which is pretty informative by the way. Nice source.

^ There is a difference between metallic gold and organic gold. We use organic gold, not yellow.

You know that a goldenrod flower is gold - it is written right into the name. That is organic gold.

What I found interesting is that we have only been the Burgundy and Gold since 1970. Prior to that, we were the Maroon & Gold!

So, Zorn almost sorta had it half right. lol.

You are correct fine gentleman it is not but what I was refering to is the fact that people for whatever reason accept yellow as gold even if the team wants to call it gold. My point was just because the team wants to use the term "gold" does not make it gold. Officially it has been closer to either yellow or mustard not gold, or as the fine other gentleman pointed out "metallic gild" which is what I would prefer they use. I'm guessing you guys would be alright if the team used a more candy apple red and called it "burgundy" too.

It's not the team calling it gold, that's the actual color. The color is "officially" GOLD! If you feel better calling it mustard, go ahead.

You do realize there are different varieties of every color. There's not just one red, one green, one black, one gold, etc.

I thought I heard something on ESPN saying the NFL was OK ing the whole red/white/blue thing based on the day "9/11".
