And yes, New England generally switches to dark pants on the road, as do several teams with white or gray home pants.

... and Green Bay wears the same gold pants on the road that they wear at home, so they wear a white jersey with colored pants too.

Sorry, more meant as same color shirt and same color pants. I absolutely the Ravens and Saints plain black spandex look for both home and away.

I think teams with colored pants have less of a dilemma. They don't look like they're playing in their long underwear when they go to white tops.

And other teams have tried it and had the idea soundly rejected by fans. Cleveland tried white over brown pants (which looks pretty good to me), but then went back.

Neck collar jerseys have gotta go. STL, NO, and CIN gotta get the memo.

Now, I am not the biggest fan of the color purple (mostly because it seems kind of feminine, I guess?), but it is our team color, so being decked out in all purple looks sweet to me....
:confused: I've always thought of purple as a relatively masculine color.

Anyway, I suspect you are in the minority in liking the all-purple alternates but someone else must like them. After all, the Vikings wear them ...

Purple? Masculine? I'm not sure about all that. :P

Purple on purple is great! The more purple the better! :smilevike:

Purple is only masculine when Prince wears it...oh wait, I take that back. Prince is awesome though, but I wouldn't mind all purple uniforms!

Addendum: Again, I don't like "black" shoes. Make them white and add purple, or purple and yellow.

I agree that the gold and black & gold were pretty hideous. However, that black/purple combo looks prertty sweet.

I hate the Bears, but there uniform design is still tops in the league IMO. Chargers are honorable mention, I've always liked the bolts.

I recall reading recently that the only Roman permitted to wear purple was the Emperor. For others to do so, meant the death penalty

IMO the Vikes always have had the "best" looking unis in the game. The Helmet with the horns is what makes it work!
