They might only have them for official TNF games this year, I don't know, but Carolina wore their color rush during the 3pm Thanksgiving game vs Dallas this past year. Dallas wore all white.

Among football fans, it didn't seem like this gimmick was very well received last year, so I'm glad to see the NFL decided to ignore all the criticism and double down on it again this year. :roll:

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that (I wasn't able to watch that game last year).

Maybe the info I heard that the uniforms would only be worn for TNF games was incorrect.

I wish they'd just dispense with the whole idea.

Good ol' Roger Goodell. Worst commissioner of any sport, ever. And keep in mind, I am a Twins fan, and they were almost contracted by Bud Selig.

I totally missed the Bengals. There is no way this is legit.

I guess I'll go out on a limb and say it. The color rush does not bother me, in fact, I'm looking forward to it.

No, crazy, inappropriate, disgusting language like that is at least worthy of a warning.

Time to pull out my TV manual and figure out how to get it to display only greyscale. Watching in Black/white is bound to be preferable.
