The NFL apparently thought the special uniforms several teams wore on Thursday Night Football in 2015 was a good thing
If you don’t like the color of yellow on football uniforms and you are a fan of the Arizona Cardinals, I’d think twice before turning on their road game at the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday October 6th. Your television might produce this bright yellow shot of Larry Fitzgerald. Bright as the sun maybe?
The NFL has decided that we all had fun watching some of those ugly uniforms on Thursday Night Football last season. Remember the St. Louis Rams uniforms against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Well, believe it or not, the Arizona Cardinals appear will be wearing something similar this year.
The NFL for some reason thinks this is a good idea? I mean, I understand that the Cardinals logo has yellow in its beak but that’s like saying let’s make the Pittsburgh Steelers wear blue uniforms because one of the three hypocycloids in their logo is blue. For the record, the Steelers Thursday Night Football uniform on Thanksgiving night is yellow as well. That fits.
To be fair NFL Leaks, the twitter handle that released this information did say some of the uniform schemes are subject to change now that the schedule is out. Apparently this information was released to NFL employees a couple of weeks ago.
As for the 49ers on October 6th it looks like they are still trying to decide between gold or dark red. Remember the all black uniforms with red trim last season in the Cardinals visit to Santa Clara?
Then you have the issue about the color blind. Remember the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills color rush game last season? Green and Red. It was hard for the color blind to decipher between the two teams. For their sake I sure hope the league decides to give the 49ers the dark red scheme if they are truly making the Cardinals wear yellow. This should be interesting.
