I know not everyone loved those gray uniforms but I really liked them. The anthracite was a great alt for that uniform set and it mixed and matched well. It was a nice change up to have before the new uniformsHow about C/G/G? (Oh, and the G stands for Gray.)
Maybe unpopular opinion: the 2018 jerseys are better than the current jerseys
1. Less cartoonish (slimmer) number font
2. Dark cardinal sleeve stripe on cardinal jersey
3. Black collar on cardinal jersey
Also, in 2018 & previous years, they used this metallicy or chromy (not sure what word you would use for this) helmet logo - I think they only ever put it on the white & black helmets, but it should still be used on all the helmets
I thought we had wore Black-white-white one time. Interesting that we have not nor Black-white-Black.
No Black-Card-Black either.
Nope -- never gone with B/W/W or B/W/B.
Seems the black is *mostly* reserved for home games and mostly paired up with itself or white.
Outside of a black helmet a few times, it looks like they don't like to mix in black with cardinal.
Yeah, they were great if you didn't care about seeing the numbers on the jersey.
You're somewhat close. Tampa Bay started 0-26, then won final two games of 1977 season, at New Orleans and vs. St.Louis.
NFL 16-game schedule began in 1978.
TB didn't defeat Green Bay until 1979 (swept the season series).
--> Other than the 14-game/16-game schedule, I didn't know most of that off top of head. So I wasn’t trying to be know-it-all

The Shadow knows! Bwahahahahah!I think maybe 2022 vs. West Virginia. I'd need clarification/ confirmation.
EDIT: @theshadow beat me to it.

How about C/G/G? (Oh, and the G stands for Gray.)
The gray was an interesting transition, wasn't it? Was it 1 season or 2? I'm thinking 1. Anyway, never to be seen again. That's the interesting part. I guess the general fan feedback was not completely positive? Haha.
Anyway, the gray was still better than the current gold, as per the c/g/g (really the 'monstrous' c/y/y, yellow).
And why don't we see the need for a darker gold addition after those?
For those that remember this game, what was the thinking, the fan sentiment after seeing these?
I can imagine it was pretty negative, because we haven't seen them since. And rightfully so. But kudos to Rhoads for giving it a try. I guess. LOL
Twitter was making fun of the uniforms calling them McDonald uniforms that even McDonald’s chimed in.
IIRC, we wore those when we played Campbell (Toledo). Maybe that’s the source to his aversion of additional gold uniform combos!
It's interesting if you look at the following 3 images, they are all slightly different. The first one, Bibbs #11 is the best, much better than the other two. The angled stripes (accidental or intentional) look better and more aggressive. The 2nd image (player #2) is very similar but the sh stripes are not angled. The final image (#5 Allen Lazard) has the straight up & down stripes and the sh stripes are longer with the Big 12 logo just inside the Rt stripe.
Just goes to show that sometimes minor details can make a huge difference in overall appearance.
Regardless, we should never do an all-yellow, or c/y/y again, even if we got a darker gold. Just stay away from those 2 combos.
The fact the athletic department has never been able to stick to a good shade of gold is frustrating, every shade they've used in the past 20 years is ugly and pale.
And yet I’ll take ugly gold over yellow every time.
Those were atrocious. They look like something I could draw up in MS Paint. The gray piece is fine, the execution was terrible.
