The pitch black uni-s this year?

**RavenScallywag** · 08-21-2006, 02:59 PM

Any idea if we're doing the "pitch-black" uniforms any games this year?

I hope not, I don't like them. It would prob. need to be in December if they did.

EDIT: Problem solved.

RavenScallywag, I don't know how much of that uniform you're going to see this year. As the schedule stands now all of our home games are listed as 1 pm, with the last 6 I believe falling under the flexable schedule. If we play well enough where we get a marquee matchup that moves to a Sunday Night then I imagine the Ravens will wear the Black. But if not, there's a chance we won't see them at all.

Do they have to wear them for a night game? They could wear them for a 1 pm game.

I just like the look of them. I'd imagine we'd save it for a marquee, prime time game though...

there's no official rule that'd prevent them from doing a 1pm game, but they probably think it looks best in a marquee matchup. The official rule just states we can only wear alternate uniforms once in a season.

No, I don't think they have to wear them for just a night game. But my understanding is that they can only wear them once or twice a year based on league rules? I thought I read that somewhere. So they've normally saved those for night games. You're right, they could certainly pick a day game I would think. Just doesn't seem likely.

All of our late games including our 2 primetime games are away. I suspect that if we wear the black uniforms it would be for a home playoff game. If things go poorly and we aren't a playoff team they may wear them at the end of the season to throw a bone to the fans.

Hopefully BS will go back on universal ignore soon. The report a trolling post feature is great.

Its twice a year. Buffalo tried to go back to their original uni's last year but could only wear them the 1st 2 weeks.

It was shame because those are some good looking uniforms.

Have the Ravens worn them twice in one season yet? I remember the Cleveland game when they introduced them. And I remember the Vikings game last year.

Oh, and once again the mods work QUICK!! I love this place!

**RavenMad2099** · 08-21-2006, 03:29 PM

They wore them against Indy and Green Bay last year, Stinger.

**Drkraven** · 08-21-2006, 03:29 PM

I dont think they would want to wear them when its really hot being all black.

**StingerNLG** · 08-21-2006, 04:46 PM

Ahhh, Green Bay. Why don't I remember the Indy game? Maybe because of the whole Boller injury thing. That's unfortunately all I remember about the Indy game.
