FOX: Color Rush uniforms are going away

Color Rush has cut to black.

With FOX inhering the full Thursday Night Football schedule, FOX says that Thursday Night Football no longer will consist of alternative, monochromatic uniforms.

Via Jason Barrett of Barrett Sports Media, FOX Sports Executive Vice President of Programming, Research and Content Strategy Bill Wanger said Tuesday at the National Association of Broadcasters Show in Las Vegas that Color Rush uniforms will no longer be used on Thursday nights. Wanger explained that hardcore fans don’t need gimmicks to watch.

Wanger also said that the game schedule for Thursday night will be stronger than it’s been in the past. That may be news to CBS and NBC, which could see their Sunday slates become less potent if the NFL pushes “better” games to Thursday nights.

Many have complained about and/or lampooned the Color Rush concept, which was subtly downplayed last year with the league quietly allowing teams like Washington (which had a garish yellow-on-yellow getup) to not go through with it.

This won’t stop teams from embracing the Color Rush concept on their own. Last week, the Titans unveiled an array of uniforms that includes the light-blue-on-light-blue Smurf look, specifically dubbed the team’s “Color Rush” uniforms.

So while Color Rush may be dead as a mandatory, across-the-board program, it will still exist as a voluntary, periodic, alternate uniform program. And if Thursday night is going to become even more special, maybe that’s when teams will choose on their own to wear them.

[T-REX]

That sucks! I guess my TGII mustard jersey will become a collectors items in 50 years.

 

[Merlin]

Like some have suggested here prior, I don't know why the Rams don't wear those with blue pants. It would be one helluva sharp combo.

 

[RhodyRams]

:yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay:

 

[DaveFan'51]

That sucks! I guess my TGII mustard jersey will become a collectors items in 50 years.

Personally I hated the "All-Yellow" Rams Color-Rush Uni! BUT!!!! I LUV THE JERSEY!!!! So maybe the Rams Go with the Yellow Jersey and White Pants!

 

[ViennaMax]

i actually liked those games

 

[bubbaramfan]

I know what to do with them now. :fuelfire:

 

[yrba1]

Some of the color rush unis for other teams look hideous but I liked our mustard ones.

 

[Selassie I]

They're better than our current Holding Pattern.

Can't wait to get our shit up to date. Seems like other teams are changing their gear every other year almost.

They need to bust the new shit out next year. Then they can bust out the new wonderland the year after. Cash in @kdemoff

 

[Flatlyner]

I actually really liked our color rush jerseys. But, as others stated, some other teams were not as flattering. That said, I hope to see them wear them next year.

 

[Karate61]

The color rush were my favorites. This news sucks. Rams just looked fast as heck in those yellows. I thought they were intimidating.

 

[1maGoh]

I'm super happy about this. The jersey with blue pants would look nice, but all yellow was a crime against humanity.

 

[IowaRam]

Sad. I'll miss them.

[Young Ram]

Would love to see this look.

 

[Corbin]

The color rush were my favorites. This news sucks. Rams just looked fast as heck in those yellows. I thought they were intimidating.

Agreed. It certainly seemed with having their mismatched uniforms they enjoyed the change and had a swagger about them when they donned them. Loved that 49er game with them on and that classic Ketchup vs. Mustard match.

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

So the color rush concept is going away for all teams, not just for the Rams. I liked it (though some were definitely hard to look at) but definitely nobody's was as good as the Rams'.

Can't wait til we get rid of the current uniform situation. I think it would kill it if we simple went with our vintage throwback blue/yellow for home, and vintage fearsome foursome white/blue trim for away. Best of both worlds.

 

[shovelpass]

Bummer but maybe this means that the Rams can wear them more often. IIRC they tried to wear the yellows instead of the blues but the league denied them .

 

[EasyE]

I loved them because they were simple.....I just hate all the new uni's...way to complicated and the numbers look like crap...we need simple and bold for the camera's....

Oh, and long sleeves with horns on them , please

 

[Farr Be It]

Just keep the horns and I’m good.
