All black unis are getting too cliche. Every team has one now and one team hardly looks different from another. It's like watching the USSR in the olympics during the 70's and 80's.

[center]How in the hell could a uniform be a cliche?
Cliche - is a saying, expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, rendering it a stereotype, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel. The term is frequently used in modern culture for an action or idea which is expected or predictable, based on a prior event. It is likely to be used pejoratively. A cliché may sometimes be used in a work of fiction for comedic effect.[/center]

I was waiting for this dope topic to be brought up again. Its like you guys just became a fan of the team on Tuesday. Where were all of you when this was discussed and said by Harbaugh last year.

Stop discounting Harbaugh because of a uniform decision. And to the person (just looked it up - it was Alexir) that said its not Harbaughs decison, its the equip managers - ha!!! Way off bro!!!!! You make some off the wall, out in left field comments.

Get over it!

Its not up to Harbaugh to decide. The equipment manager and the NFL made those jerseys for special primetime games for our guys. Its for the players. It goes to show I am definitely not a Harbaugh guy, but he is stupid in thinking that all black makes us look like "Bad Guys". Well eh, we kinda our known for our physical play on both side of the ball and John, last time I checked, Ravens are ALL BLACK. PLAY LIKE A RAVEN needs to be changed to LOOK LIKE A RAVEN.

I mean it was bad enough you took away Ravens Wired last year but taking the Black on Black is just down right wrong.

dont the fans get a say in this? why should ONE persons taste actually change the tradition thats been created?

Why in the world would the fans get a say in what uniforms the Ravens wear? Th
is the coaches decision, not ours. Harbs said last season that he did not like the all black uni's. As far as I know, nothing had changed this season. Live with it

[Marc2k6]

You know I really could careless at this point about what color the uniform is, maybe all black is to harsh of a color. Maybe we will be coming out with a all pink uniform or something. What is more important in winning the games. I would rather know why certain player are inactive from week to week when it seems we could use them.

It is silly to have this topic but most fans and players love them so y not. Thats kinda selfish for a team first coach to say i dont like them so thats that. Your right id rather the coach worry bout on the field problems not uni's. I think he does things like that to compensate his lack of abilities. The truth is with a good o/d coord. Any coach that we hired wouldve had success last year. True or false

Does anybody else think purple and black would be legendary?

Fans get a say in it because we are the ones buying the black uniforms plus its suppose to be something special for the players and harbs is taking it away just like how he took away freakin RAVENS WIRED!!!!

When did Harbaugh say he didnt like the black on black? I must have been absent that day. LOL. I loved seeing them wear the b on b when we had prime time night games. Even though the win loss ratio stunk.

They are great but its nice to have a home alternate, since we dont have any throwbacks like other teams, that we can wear on primetime games.

We wore tha black tops with white pants. I actually like that look a lot better. They look really sharp on TV and in person. The all blacks looked cliche, as others have said, and they only looked good on TV. Always thought they looked kind of bland seeing them live. The worst was December 9 of the 08 season when the Colts came to town and they put up 40 points on us. Those black unis didn't help that game at all.

you know the raiders home uniforms are black top with white pants..

exactly, excellent points especially that all ravens are all black

and why would we want to look like good guys anyway? we dont come out onto the field to serve the other team milk and cookies, we come to hit them in the mouth and win the game.

I can give you plenty reasons lets see... the fans buy the jerseys and all other products, the ticket sales, they show support.. oh yea and the best part of it all is WATCHING the team whether its in person or on television. meaning i think we should have a say if we want to watch the ravens all black from time to time.

I say we send lots of letters requesting the blackout unis again. Whatever alternates we wear, Im pretty sure we'll be seeing them against the Colts and Steelers at home.

I love tha all black uniform..even though we seem to lose everytime we wear it,(minus the Redskins Beatdown)

From Wikipedia:

The color amethyst is a moderate, transparent violet. Its name is derived from the stone amethyst, a form of quartz. Though the color of natural amethyst varies from purple to yellow, the amethyst color referred to here is the moderate purple color most commonly associated with amethyst stones.

Now we all know.

They are still going to wear the black jerseys for the primetime games ,but with the white pants.

The all black, with no stripe on the side, looks like tights

What colors were we wearing in these last 3 games that we did lose? I guess we should never wear those colors again!

You're over-analyzing bro! We wear this one color in Primetime games only. Games of which we always seem to lose while wearing this one color. You get it now?
