I still wish the wolf grey was a darker shade of grey and not a shade that can be mistaken for our whites that simply need to go to the laundry.

I personally don't like the wolf greys, but I'd like more if they were a little darker though. Any combination with wolf grey just looks weird to me. I think the best combo for away games is definitely white/white.

I noticed during the Clams game, they Whites look like the grays depending on lighting and/or amount of sweat on the jersey.

Some situation where we could go gray jersey, blue pants would be interesting. The problem with both the all white and all gray look is that it makes the blue helmet stick out in a strange way. I think the blue Helmet, gray (or white) jersey and blue pants would balance things out nicely.

I love men's athletic fashion, btw.

Nike blew it on such a light grey color, IMO. Much too hard to distinguish between dirty whites and the wolf greys. The alternates should be a clear and concise difference in color tone from the regular uniforms. I love what Nike did in updating our uniforms and helmets but the wolf grey was a misstep. If you're going grey go a dark grey not a "Hey, are these the whites that need to be cleaned?" grey.

MUCH better, IMO...(Quick and dirty rendering...Just looking at the darker tone)

this comes up every away game.

We're only allowed to wear alternates twice a year so we will be wearing white jerseys for away games the rest of the season.

My personal preference for away uniforms is:

(Jersey/Pants)

1.) Wolf/Wolf
2.) White/Wolf
3.) White/White
4.) White/Blue

the white jersey/blue pants combo - hate it. Dunno why.

I think we wore whites last year. I want to wear them again and destroy them.

1) Wolf/Blue
2) White/Blue
3) White/Wolf

then a distant.....

4) Wolf/Wolf
5) White/White

Combinations

How did they get the different uniforms to wrinkle in the exact same pattern?

Few things.

1. I believe Blue/Blue will always be worn at home. It's clean, it's undefeated, it's our image. The other combinations with the blue jersey will be saved for road games against teams that wear white at home (Dallas, Carolina last year, etc.).

2. I think White/Blue looks real nice. I don't have a problem with the other two, but that's by far my favorite road combo.

3. That photoshop render of a darker wolf grey looks so damn good. I know jerseys can't change for 5 years, but can they make little minor adjustments? The only reason I can think of them being as light as they are is for the ability to wear them on the road. If they're too dark I don't think they could count as an away jersey.

I agree.

However...I hated the Grey in pictures, but they have grown on me seeing the team wear them on the field. They look a lot better in action. And considering that the team wins in them.
