As it should be.

We have two great uniforms.  Peak Namath-era, peak Toon/Walker-era.

One should be the main, the other the alternate/throwback.  Don't care which is which.

Clothes questions, done and dusted.

They should make these the road uniform and the 80’s the home.  
Everyone is happy.

2 great uniforms and 1 set they keep pushing down our throat that they will wear more often than the 68 kit.

We should all keep in mind that the NFL is a business, part of which is selling swag/gear.

And black gear, as much as many of us loathe it, it sells and sells well.  Hip Hop artists and pop singers wear it.  People think it's cool.  And it sells.

So I fully expect these crappy black unis will always exist.  I just hope they wear them as infrequently as possible, and limit it to gear sales rather than too much on field use.

Lets be honest, I can get a Washington Nationals hat in almost any color combo that exists, far FAR beyond the scope of the Nats colors.  Same for any MLB team really.  But smartly, the team pretty much never wears all the alt-color gear on the field, they just sell it to fans who want it.  Lol, I have a near-on Jets Green Nats hat because of that option.

I get the jersey bit.

But nobody buys football pants. If they start cross-pollinating black pants into the white and green kits, they will ruin a good thing.

I'm fine with the all-blacks for a couple of prime time games each year, but they have proven they just can't help themselves.

Gonna be honest: I now have a kit for every variant (before they announced these) and the black looks wayyyyyyyyyy nicer than I ever thought it would in-person .  This is my collection so far:4E2138E0-E91F-47D5-992A-0DC35098CFBD.thumb.jpeg.3e0bd141ea153381002f9ac2cda69882.jpeg
