Michigan football announces uniform combo for MSU game

Clean and classic. #GoBlue

Michigan football has been on the road the past two games and thus wearing white tops with different colored pants.

At Washington in Week 6, the Wolverines opted for maize pants and in Week 8 at Illinois last week, Michigan wore blue pants (and lost for only the first time with the white top-blue pants combo). Now the maize and blue return to The Big House where they’ll face in-state rival Michigan State in the Battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy.

And with that, they’ll don a more traditional look.

According to the official Michigan football X account, the Wolverines will wear blue tops with maize pants and white accessories in the showdown against the fellow 4-3 Spartans.

It’s not clear, but it appears that MSU is likely to be wearing all white with green helmets, according to a couple of posts on its official X account.

Michigan has won two straight against MSU and hope to make it a third straight. However, nearly every first-year head coach for the Wolverines has lost their first game as a head coach against the in-state rival. Sherrone Moore hopes to buck that trend as he works to create more cohesion in a Michigan offense which has been struggling all year, but more so as of late.

The game will kick off at 7:40 p.m. EDT at Michigan Stadium and will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.

First on-field look at Packers new all-white helmets and uniforms vs. Texans

Here’s how the Packers’ new all-white helmets and uniforms look on the field at Lambeau Field on Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers are wearing their new all-white helmets and all-white uniform combination for the first time on Sunday against the Houston Texans.

The helmet has a white shell and white facemask with green stripes and the traditional green “G” logo. The uniform and pants — which have been worn together on a few occasions in the past — are the Packers’ traditional road attire.

Here’s a first look at the new look from Lambeau Field:

Michigan football announces uniform combo for Illinois game

Clean! #GoBlue

Michigan football has been on the road once thus far this year having gone to Seattle to play Washington in what ended up being a 27-17 loss to the Huskies. In that game, the Wolverines went with a more traditional look, having sported white tops with maize bottoms.

On Saturday, the maize and blue head out on the road for the second time this year, set to face No. 21 Illinois in Champaign. The Illini may be sporting alternate uniforms, although there’s some debate as to whether or not they’ll actually wear them.

However, Michigan football is set to sport the traditional white uniform, albeit with one of its alternate looks on Saturday. The Wolverines announced that they will wear white tops with the blue pants, along with white accessories.

Michigan debuted the blue pants on the road in 2021 at Wisconsin. To this point, the Wolverines have yet to lose a game where it has worn white tops and blue pants.

Kickoff is set for 3:40 p.m. EDT at Memorial Stadium in Champaign and the game will be nationally televised on CBS.

Twitter reacts to prime-time debut of Broncos’ new uniforms

The Broncos’ new uniform made its prime-time debut against the Saints on ‘TNF’ in Week 7. Here’s how Twitter/X reacted to the new look.

Earlier this year, the Denver Broncos unveiled a brand-new uniform set that includes orange (home), white (away), blue (alternate) and orange (throwback) jerseys.

The team’s primary orange and white jerseys can be mixed and matched with white, orange or blue pants (orange jerseys with blue pants is not a popular look).

The Broncos will wear their alternate blue jersey with a white helmet on Monday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. Last week, Denver debuted its 1977-inspired throwback uniform, which is by far the team’s most popular uniform.

Tonight, the Broncos’ new primary white jersey makes its prime-time debut against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football. Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits have reacted to Denver’s new uniform on Twitter/X.

NFL teams have to wait five years in between primary uniform changes. So the earliest the Broncos could change their look would be 2029.

Who are the Commanders’ captains for Week 6?

Who are the Week 6 captains and which jerseys will Commanders wear vs. Ravens?

The Washington Commanders revealed their game captains for Sunday’s Week 6 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens.

  • DT Daron Payne
  • RT Andrew Wylie
  • LS Tyler Ott

Head coach Dan Quinn discussed the Week 6 captains on Friday.

Start off by giving you the captains as we get started for this week’s game,” Quinn said. “Offense will be Andrew Wylie, and defensively be Daron Payne and on special teams Tyler Ott. All these guys bring unique stuff to our team. Kinda talked about the consistency of Andrew, the length he’s willing to go for these guys and all the toughness. With Daron, we thought of the word is he’s got a real edge about him and that focus, and we love that he brings it. And then Tyler, always at the front and center of stuff, but just really, really high standards about how he goes about his stuff. So, a lot of respect for those three and they’ll lead the way Sunday.”

In addition to the captains, the Commanders also revealed their uniform combination for Sunday’s showdown in Charm City.

It will be white jerseys and burgundy pants for the Commanders against the Ravens.

Washington looks to improve to 5-1 against the 3-2 Ravens.

Falcons reveal uniforms for Week 6 matchup vs. Carolina Panthers

The Falcons revealed their uniforms ahead of Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers….

The Atlanta Falcons revealed their Week 6 uniforms ahead of Sunday’s road matchup against the Carolina Panthers, and they’re familiar ones.

The Falcons will wear their white jerseys with black pants and regular black helmets. This marks the end of two consecutive weeks in which Atlanta wore its throwbacks with the fan-favorite red helmets.

Many around the league, including NFL legend J.J. Watt, have petitioned for the Falcons to permanently switch to their old-school uniforms. For now, though, it’s back to the team’s usual gear.

Here’s a look at Atlanta’s Week 6 uniform combo, per the team’s Twitter account:

https://twitter.com/AtlantaFalcons/status/1844480059127812330

Atlanta is in the midst of a season filled with optimism, sitting on top of the NFC South following the team’s 36-30 overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

This came just a week after the Falcons defeated the New Orleans Saints, 26-24. Carolina, however, is looking to bounce back after falling 36-10 to the Chicago Bears in Week 5.

The Panthers are now on a two-game losing streak in a season filled with poor quarterback play. Before that, Carolina fell 34-24 to a struggling Cincinnati Bengals team that hasn’t looked like itself.

Sunday’s game starts at 4:25 p.m. ET inside Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Check out the team’s latest injury report, depth chart, and 53-man roster entering Week 6.

Saints are still winless in their alternate black helmets

The New Orleans Saints are still winless in their alternate black helmets. It might be time to retire that look and try again:

The New Orleans Saints are still winless in their alternate black helmets. It might be time to retire that look and try again now that the NFL will allow  teams to wear three different helmets starting in 2025. There’s an opportunity  to get this right.

In a vacuum, the black helmets aren’t the worst thing a team could come up  with. But pairing them with white jerseys and pants creates a mismatched  look that worsens each element. Lighter helmets that match the popular “Color Rush” jerseys would be an easy choice. Opting to pair these black helmets with the team’s throwback uniforms makes sense, too.

If you’re superstitious enough to suggest a choice of helmet design impacts the game’s result, an 0-4 record in black lids could be reason to put them up on a shelf:

  • 2022, Week 4: Loss to Minnesota Vikings, 28-25
  • 2022, Week 13: Loss to Tampa Bay  Buccaneers, 17-16
  • 2023, Week 12: Loss to Atlanta Falcons, 24-15
  • 2024, Week 5: Loss to Kansas City Chiefs, 26-13

Will we see the black helmets again this year? Maybe, maybe not. The Saints haven’t been eager to dust them off after the 2022 debut and it might be  worth moving on from them altogether. If nothing else, not being able to complain about how the team is dressed would give fans more time to focus on how their squad is performing.

Michigan football announces uniform combo for Washington game

Good looks! #GoBlue

Michigan football is heading on the road for the first time in 2024, having landed in Seattle to face the Washington Huskies on Saturday evening.

And the Wolverines will, per usual, take the field in style.

The last time that Michigan played the Huskies it wore the ‘big game blues.’ In two of the last three seasons, the Wolverines wore blue pants with white tops for the road opener (at Wisconsin in 2021 and at Iowa in 2022), but like last year, when on the road at Nebraska, Michigan will wear white tops and maize bottoms — with white accessories, like it did last year in Lincoln.

The last meeting between the Wolverines and Huskies was in the national championship game, but the last regular season meeting was in 2021 at The Big House when Michigan wore the ‘big game blues’ for the first time.

The game will kick off on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. PDT at Husky Stadium and it will be nationally broadcast on NBC.
