Debut of the Nor'easters

[A Defiant Goose]

Loved the uniforms last night. But don't think they'd look good as casual fan gear. Hope they use em more often though they're clean

Nor'easters come from NORTHEAST WINDS, genius. And even a weak La Nina can increase their frequency.

The collective IQ of this board just dropped by 12 points. Please stop posting.

That right there? That was someone telling you they don't know F all about New England without saying they don't know F all about New England. And you are right, we are all dumber for having seen that post. More so than the usual...

I liked them a lot on paper. But on the field they were a bit washed out.
Might need to change the shade of blue to deeper/brighter, and add a pop of white/red. But the helmets were great!

My one concern if these uniforms were to transition to full time (or any with white pants) would be the team naturally moving towards white socks. Appeared to just be Diggs and Hollins last night but it’s a real bugbear of mine and ruins the whole aesthetic.

You only have to look at the Eagles or Vikings last couple years to see how much better uniforms look when the sock colour matches the top.

(Pat Patriot Reds don’t count cause the socks actually have some character with the stripes at the top)

I know someone from Boston that said the Nor’easters in 2015 was unbelievable. He said Boston kept getting hit with snowstorm after snowstorm. You guys remember that?

Real Colts blue looks like this. Not surprising Indy ****ed the color much for the worse.

I was unsure but I ended liking them more than their regular uniforms.

I think MVP is just another bragging rights thing.
Ultimately I agree it’s not important, but it’s also cool to be able to call your QB the MVP.

I like that Maye is talked about when the conversation comes up, but personally I really don't care if he actually wins it. I just can't get excited about an individual award in the ultimate team game.

Not my usual topic, but since you asked. I liked them fine. Much better than some of real crap we saw. But I wonder what they would look like with our silver helmets and pants. When I see white, I want to see Pat Patriot

My wife said how smart they looked

They are very nice in-hand.

My fix would be to the helmet.

Curran actually made the best point on this when he compared where the Patriots wouod at record wise to where the other candidates teams would be. In that context it's pretty clear that Matye is the MVP right now. However that doesnt mean hes the offensive player of the year which will go to the best offensive season.

The game was hard to watch.

Not quite Boise State at home, but a few notches down the dial. Hopefully they pack those rags away for this season.

It’s just nice recognition. Honestly it’s really a team award.

So the NFL has dubbed these alternate uniforms "Rivalries" uniforms. The Patriots wore theirs against the Jets - definite rivals there. Last night, the Texans wore theirs against... the Bills? You would think that if the NFL went out of their way to create a special name like "Rivalries" for these alternate unis, they would have at least made sure that teams wore them against an real rivals of that team.
