Purple Turf

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

[quote]Have you ever wondered how M&T Bank Stadium would look with purple turf? Me neither. But someone with decent digital video editing skills has, and they put their know-how to use by making a YouTube video of the Ravens playing the Browns -- it’s footage from their Week 3 meeting in 2009 -- on digitally-altered purple turf. I think they should stick with the green stuff. What about you? [/quote]

WOW! Yea, I don't think anyone wants that. Ravens fan or otherwise.

[BirdWatcher]

Makes me want to heave. I should hope the NFL wouldn't allow it.

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

I think black turf with purple numbers and lines trimed in white would look awesome!

[T-ray]

That turf is more hideous than the Boise State turf lol..... I still can't get my eyes adjusted to the Boise turf. It pains my eyes to watch one of their home games haha. We need to stick with the green if we are to be respected by others in the league.

I'm worried about you.

Never. NFL Football was meant to be played on green grass (or something that resembles grass)

[big hits and ball hawks]

I don't think it's as bad as you guys think, however the field being green is much better. Also, that game was awesome.

IIRC its not allowed for a team to paint their turf in any color. Probably because of the competitive advantage.

the NFL is all about being professional and that turf does not look professional... Very much like Boise State!

[TDubbs]

That purple turf is reallllllly terrible, please for the love of god never mention this again.

[RavensAllTheWay]

You say they should stick with the green stuff. Which type of green stuff?....

Lol. Anyway, I don't think it's really that bad, but only because it's creative. The league would never allow it though.

[ravensfan2424]

well if it will help us win a championship.......

[Guest ArmyRaven52]

The only people that should do team color turf is the jets.

That is the only team that guaranteed themselves a Superbowl that is long awaited for this green turf team...

[bdravens]

Had to laugh at the opening quote. "ever wondered what the bank would be like w/ purple turf? Me neither" haha that got me.

[ravensfan2424]

Idk guys, colored turf worked for the packers this year, maybe give it a shot

[Romo Ravens]

Hurts my eyes. Miss Gus doing our Ravens games too

[Marc2k6]

AHHHHH no!

Am I the only one in favor of it? I think it would give us a competitive advantage. Apparently, the Boise State turf had glare issues, but they practiced on in and are used to it. Also, I'm pretty sure it'll be so much harder for other teams to watch game tape on TVs with purple crap everywhere. I'm sure purple turf would annoy the hell of opposing teams.

Possibly. No football "purist" could ever accept something like that. A lot of fans still have issues with synthetic turf.

[FerrariFan87]

Too ugly, too gimmicky, and too college-like.

Green is best.

[lowrider]

I'm surprised there's so many negative responses for this. I think its kind of awesome. Now I don't think it could work unless it would be a brighter shade of purple, and I think the darker purple would look cooler than lighter purple. But its still a pretty cool idea. But then again if the league doesn't draw the line somewhere, then every team will want a colored field. And no one wants to see a Brown field in Cleveland....

[bpytnjr58]

I think we can leave all the colorful turf for the Boise States of the world.

[darklight1216]

That video was a bit of an eye sore, but I don't know... maybe for one game a year or something (if it was a different shade).

[flynismo]

Whoever said 'eyesore' hit it on the head...
