Can't see owt on the old google. I could hardly call myself hardened (ooer) - but there aren't really 'designs' to kits as you see in football. Tends to stick to mostly the franchise colours as a home kit, with an inverse, or mostly white in case of clash. The biggest differences you see are the designs on some franchises' player names/numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest differences you see are the designs on some franchises' player names/numbers The jerseys changed a couple of years ago when Nike took over manufacturing from Reebok. Although the designs didn't change much at all, as Animal says, it tends to be team colours with a trim on shoulder at most. Teams will have up to 2 alternative coloured jerseys for matchups away from home. Agai, design won't vary, it will be colours that change. They've introduced Color Rush kits for some teams now, that they wear for one off games a season. Not completely sure why, but there is definitely a reason why. I do like this about American football jerseys, I've got a Giants home blue one from 10 years ago, and an away white one from 4 seasons ago, and I can wear either and it will be similar to what they will wear this season. Whether Nike will start to intro new jersey designs as standard for money reasons though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Good point about the colour rush - sometimes they'll do special kits for things like cancer awareness or Veterans' Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Edit to above. A rule from black and white to days was that teams had to have a white jersey as well as their franchise colours to allow for fans to easily see the difference on TV recentky they've started a colour v colour where both teams where there franchise colours and ColorRush is a step further by having teams where special uniforms for certain games which are predominantly one colour (unlike most franchises two colour themes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Derek Carr contract sorted, looks like he get himself a good deal. Think salary cap maybe an issue with Mack contract also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 NFL Top 100 fully in: Brady no.1 of course but a few frankly outrageous decisions made by the players. The MVP Matt Ryan finishes 10th! Never happened on the list but I guess that what happens when you blow a 28-3 lead. If he'd run the ball he'd probably be 1 or 2. Zeke ends up above Lev Bell and David Johnson, who are both better running backs than him (I'm bias but cmon). Also above Carr, Ryan and OBJ. Overhyped. Von Miller finishes 2nd despite Mack being defensive MVP and Broncos not making the play-off's. Gronk and J.J. Watt finish high despite not playing full seasons. Cam goes from 1 to 44. Highest rank players per position: Offense- QB: Brady HB: Zeke WR: Julio TE: Gronk ?♂️ (Kelce finished 26 to Gronk's 23) OT: Tyron Smith G: Yanda Defence- DE: J.J. Watt ?♂️ (Michael Bennett 46, Clowney 49 to Watt's 35) DT: Aaron Donald LB: Von CB: Pat Pete S: Eric Berry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 It's a load of nonsense really. People get really het up on it but it's voted for by players, and is based on their top 100 players going into the next season - not what has just happened. So you end up with all sorts of weird anomalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 This season's All or Nothing with the Rams is very different to the season with the Cardinals. It's got that car crash quality to it, just watched the episode where Fisher gets fired and the team meeting where it's announced is absolutely fascinating. A lot of players seem absolutely gutted but then there's a strong sense that Jared Goff wasnt too bothered about it at all. Same goes for Aaron Donald. Really makes me think about Derby and all the sackings we had. Obviously it's rarer in the NFL but Fisher had 4 (?) seasons to put together a side that won, really had an emotional effect on the players because every single one of them had been brought in by him. They felt they'd let him down. Wonder what the reactions are from our players. I can imagine with Clough there was a reaction like that but I wonder how much remorse they felt for Clement, Wassall and Pearson. Even McClaren, who made a number of their careers and got them their contracts (Martin, Bryson, Thorne, Russell, arguably Ince). Good series so far though, would recommend watching after watching the Cardinals series first for contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
