Ravens Wearing All Black For First Playoff Game

**ScottinFrederick** · 12-28-2006, 05:29 PM

The Black Uniforms stink. How many teams in the NFL have Black uniforms half or is it more. Besides it seems like we don't play so great when we wear them. I'm for the Purple.

I think because the game time was moved, they are allowed to ask the league to wear alternate unis.

They wore black on the darkest day in Ravens history - Sept 11th 2005, home opener against the Irsays. That's the night hundreds of so-called Ravens fans cheered lustily for an injury to one of our own players. :(

Ravens Fans have done well this year. We're making a comeback from that embarrassment but we still have a long way to go. I don't want any reminders of that terrible game or that terrible season to screw up the mojo we have going now.

We haven't worn black all year and we're 12-3.
DON'T CHANGE A THING! (knock on wood! ;) )

I like the black unis. They're awesome and very intimidating. I'll be sporting my black Kyle Boller jersey on sunday.

It may not be due to the jerseys...just a thought

The Black unis are pretty kewl in my book...They do need a few adjustments here and there, but overall, I like them...

Looks like we're gonna be "Back in Black" this Sunday, which means the Bills might end up "Thunderstruck"...:D

I don't give a rip if they play in their tighty whiteys...as long as they win!

I don't like this one bit . . . . change NOTHING for this game.

I'm starting to get that sick feeling in my stomach. I've tried to remain calm this entire week and now I'm starting to lose it. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to sleep worrying about this game on Sunday. I have become consumed and obsessed. This does not bode well for my family life or work

RAVENS TO WEAR ALL BLACK UNIFORMS V. BILLS. That news...

1. Doesn't make a difference to me...just win baby!

2. Gets me pumped up...I love those unis!

3. Worries me...the team is 12-3 without them and needs to win...why jinx it?

What happened to the rule that we didn't ask for permission in time to wear them this season? And Nestor was right and Bart Scott wrong. Scott said we were wearing them in the playoffs, Nestor said this week.

I bet the NFL gave in to the uni change for the sudden game time change. As for the all-blacks, I love the jersey, hate the pants and shoes (white shoes and leotards). I think the black jerseys would look good with our white pants. I was worried about the change until I realized our superstitions haven't been very accurate this year, we have won away in purple (TB) home in purple, home in white (OAK) and way in white. For once, I am not superstitious about the uni.
