Black Uniforms For Playoffs?

68 posts in this topic

If Harbaugh is feeling a certain way about the All Black, lets use the purple Jersey on Black pants. Even though our last year in them left a lot to be desired (And a AFC North title...) We still looked beast mode in them.

What, what, what? You better start to enjoy the color purple rather than trying to clamor for Black all the time. That's our team color. Our team color is my favorite color.

My phone is rocked out in a purple shell. Majority of my sweaters are purple, I have [b]purple sneakers[/b] and a purple wallet as well.

There is no way I would like our team color to 'change over time'. Especially to Black.

Just because im not a real big fan of the Purple doesnt mean i havent excepted it. I have NIKE 6.0 that are black and Purple (only wear them on game day), LOL , i do only have 1 purple jersey, the 4 others are Black.lol

I am Ok with whatever jersey they wear , my only complaint is that most of the Ravens fan gear features the [b][color=#4B0082]purple[/color][/b] Ravens head logo on a [color=#4B0082][b]purple[/b][/color] background (be it a T-shirt, flag, etc..)

The reason it looks off to me is that there is no contrast. On the uniform it is a [b][color=#4B0082]purple[/color][/b] raven head on a [b]black[/b] helmet, if the team wants to brand itself with purple I would like to see them reverse the coloring for fan gear using a black raven logo on purple shirts, flags ...

whatever so long as they win it all looks good.................

Black is not a color. Just wanted to let people know. Its actually the absence of color.

Just to get it out there, this'll be the first of many posts to state that it doesn't matter what color jersey the Ravens wear, as long as they get to the big dance.

That said, it would be nice to see the black jerseys for a game, but I wouldn't want to wear them for the entire playoff run.

Why not be proud of our colors and rep the purple? Why be ashamed of the purple and embrace a generic color that [i]every[/i] team has?

Yes, the black jerseys look cool -- but that doesn't mean that they're that much better than the purple jerseys, nor should we shy away from the purple that makes us so distinctly different from the Steelers, Saints, Bengals, insert-your-team-here-that-regularly-wears-black.

According to a study done by Cornell University in 1988 an all black uniform goes beyond looking cool, they're generally conclusive on a few key elements. Wearing black leads to (A) a general perception of aggressiveness (B.) induces more penalties and a referee bias, and (C.) induces aggression in players that wear black.

So maybe Harbaugh was onto something when he reduced the amount of times we've gone all black, I don't want any ref looking at us in a close game and saying, "Personal Foul, number 55. Looked at me with thuggish malice in his heart."

Those purple jerseys are our Home colors so that's what I want to see for the playoffs! Rockin' our colors throughout!

I guess I am the only one who thinks the black pants tend to have a leotard look? Oh well. Perhaps it is a "girl" thing lol

I want this Win this week. It would be nice to have a 49ers W to go with it as well. Now that would be a good "look" for us :)
