Gotta have some reason to watch Thursday night football because it certainly isn't for the quality of play.

Those alts do sound/look cool in the teasers at least. And I love color on color, we don't watch black and white TV anymore there is really no reason to not play every game color on color provided they aren't overly similar.

The helmet logos have been messed up for years. For the longest time we had the chocolate brown ones you see in the lower picture, which drove me crazy. Then midseason last year we changed to metallic ones as seen up top. I'd prefer a non-metallic burnt orange one, but the current ones are at least better than the brown. In no way is that a shade of orange.

But yeah if they burnt the jerseys a bit more I'd prefer that. Wouldn't mind a more cream colored white, either. Closer to the actual colors of a Longhorn.

Not sure if it's a Vikings thing or an NFL thing but just seems odd they'd actually charge players.

The hobby can be costly for some. Players get to keep the jersey with which they opened the season, but have to pay for their replacements. A few players estimated they've paid a few hundred dollars over the years. Floyd, perhaps the biggest serial swapper on the team, doesn't ask how much he owes: "I told D-Ryan, if it pops up, it pops up on my paystub."

It still weirds me out that the most popular teams in the UK are the Patriots (for obvious reasons) and the Jags just because they played a bunch of games here.

The Giants have a pretty big following here too, because Channel 4 here used to show one game a week in the 80s, and they seemed to favour the Giants games.

This is the 2nd week for that style of picture. Before that, it was similar, but animated. Kind of like on a team's Wikipedia page. They've been releasing the jersey scheme each week on social media all season. I like the idea.
