Green Light For The Black Jerseys

does the change to Primetime at home means the black on black uniforms?

That would depend on one John Harbaugh. I hope we do though. But I know it's been said we wouldn't be using them this year. But things change.

[Jesse Conroy]

I hope we use them, we are good in them, lol.

i think so because jason brown said they are wearing them on his radio show

that would be awesome if they wore it...a good chance to scare the deadskins.

[Ravnet]

Oh man, I didn't even think about that. I'm kind of disappointed that the Ravens-Redskins game is going to be on prime time TV because I'd venture to say that 45% of M&T is going to be Skins fans.

Harbaugh is against anything fun. I like that he wants to take away the individualistic side of the team, but at times, it stinks as a fan.

[wolfzie06]

While I am a fan of the black uniforms, I still have some bad memories of us wearing them and losing. The past few years we haven't done well in prime time games. We wore them for the Patriots game last year. I remember wearing them for the home opener against the Colts 3 years ago. And I remember losing to an 0-4 Chiefs team at home in those uniforms.

Reed picked off that Garcia pass in the end zone to go 106, in the all blacks, when we won 27-13 in 2005 or something.

but I was saying uniforms dont have to do with being fun, but looking cool instead

[Marc2k6]

It is Prime Time, you know we will be wearing the all BLACK. Do you remember the Pitch Black ads for the black uniforms back in 2004? I bought a autographed and framed poster from the Baseball Card Outlet of Ray Lewis in all Black with Pitch Black written across the bottom, it was desined like a movie ad.

Years ago Dallas had a similar problem with their blue away uniforms. They always seemed to lose with them. In our case, I don't think there is any connection to the uniform. We wear them in prime time which tends to be the tougher games. Last year we had the NE game one if it were not for a bad call and Rex's miss-timed timeout.

i don't think he's against having fun. I think he is just trying to have more discipline than Billick did. He seems to be loosening up lately. He seemed to "enjoy" havnig the Gatorade barrel dumped on him. I think the players want to go blackout and will make their case. Given the Raven's success so far, Harbs my cave.

[FerrariFan87]

Who cares what uniform the guys are wearing? As long as we pummel the Skins it doesn't matter... Now, we as fans can certainly cause a "blackout" in the stands!

[ravens27]

We gave the Patriots a run for there money last year during the night game in the black jerseys.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

I hope they do, The one game I actually get to watch on my own TV and watch the whole thing that isnt from a gamebreak. AND black jerseys, yea thats BA.

That's not true! Harbs tries to have as much fun as the players. What coach participates in drills? My friend told me he even got a bruise from practice. He wants his players to take it serious and all, but has definately said it's important to have fun out there. He believes if your team can go out there and have a good time then your productivity will increase. In his last interview he said if you have a celebration and get flagged include your teammates, they want to celebrate too. Most coaches will just say excessive celebration and penalties hurt the team.

It's that he isn't about individuality and wants to instill a sense of teamwork and family out there. He's trying to build a group of Spartans that move as one impenetrable unit, but he's no kill joy.

I'll bring it up again, I'm pretty sure this has to be ok'd by NFL front office and I don't think they usually give exceptions. Normal Alt games are declared preseason.

On the positive side, there might be a good chance to get it approved as we haven't had any alt jersey games.

If you are correct, it's only because our season ticket holders are selling tickets to our opponents fans. I think we should stop selling tickets to Squealers and Deadskins fans. If I were a season ticket holder, I would definitely attend all home games or sell my tickets to fellow Ravens fans.

That logic doesn't work, considering we didn't wear them against the Steelers when we originally only had 2 prime time games (That's assuming Sat night VS the Cowboys is considered prime time)

Also, our best game last season was against the Patriots in those Uni's

[BirdWatcher]

45%??? More like 10%.

Mac, I love all of your graphics, amazing!

[BlackSunday]

I sure hope we wear Black on Black! My highlight of last year was the primetime Pats game, even if we did lose, we played an amazing game, in all black.

We gonna smack some skins!!!

"BLACK SUNDAY"!!!
