It's Saturday! Thus it is poll day!

It's time to weigh in on alternate jerseys. All the leagues seem to have really leaned into allowing teams to have a wide variety of jerseys and relaxed the rules about when they can wear them. Personally I prefer a home jersey, an away jersey, one regular alternate jersey and maybe a special occasion jersey once a year.

What is your position on alternate jerseys?

Dislike it- 1 alternate only16.7%
Hate it- Mattingly trim those sideburns16.7%

I generally don't like introducing all the new jerseys, plus most of them are awful. I do like seeing throwback jerseys occasionally, especially when it's a petty flex like Tennessee pulling out the Oilers gear when they play Houston.

I think throwbacks once a year is cool. Especially if it's a classic rivalry or a notable anniversary for a remarkable season.

That's exactly when I normally like to see them.

It's fine... But sometimes I'm like, ok no need to make a big deal over it.

Take the vikes for example...
Home
Away
Colour rush
Throwback home
White out uniforms
Throwback away
Throwback colour rush

It begins to get a little bit like... Ok... Quit making a big deal and just play ball

Why can't teams just make a good design from the start?

Consider the Raiders,
Home: Best uniform in professional sports
Away: Still super cool. Second best in sports?

I think it dilutes a team's brand value to have a bunch of different looks.

Exactly, K.I.S.S

7 uniforms for a 17 game season is a lot. Haha,

Yep. A little much.
