I wonder if the NFL will allow alternates to be used without counting against the 'twice per season' rule due to games like Ravens/Steelers (Ravens purple instead) and Falcons/Saints (Falcons red.)

I doubt it will count as an alternate. Miami, Carolina, and Dallas all typically force their opponents to wear their home unis at their home games.

I'd love to see the Hawks go color vs. color against the Niners this season.

Queue the "Seahawks own Levis" jokes.

All kidding aside tho, it would be cool to see both teams in home colors, though I thought that game might be a candidate for Niners to wear their all blacks.

Niners all-black, Hawks all-grey maybe? That would certainly be....... interesting.

To be completely honest I'm VERY skeptical of the all-blacks, but I haven't seen the entire team in them yet so we'll see. Some of the pics I've seen look pretty good...others not so much. Personally, the biggest problem to me is the white and red socks.

This looks pretty good to me...

This not so much...the socks are killin' me...

I hate to admit it, but these are pretty nice...

I haven't really been a fan of any Seahawks uniform especially since the Nike redesign, but the wolf grey is pretty nice.

The main reason tho I thought the Niners would wear them that night is the heat at Levi's especially this summer. I can't see them wearing them for a 1:00 kickoff...so Monday Night Opener and game vs Seattle seem like prime candidates.

Color-on-color is great with me, and it actually has decades of historical precedent, to boot.

Yeah Marv, the white socks ruin the whole look to my eyes too. Otherwise, those are sharp unis. The red and gold contrast well with the black.



There are definitely weeks that this won't work cuz of both teams having same color home unis as 253hawk mentioned above. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

My only hope is that the opt for much more red than white in those socks (seems to vary player to player) and use black tape to further reduce the white.

For example, this is how Hyde wore those same socks when modeling for Rookie Premiere...

...but this is how they looked when he actually got to the games.
