Hmmm?

Looks good, doesn't bother me at all. I'm sure it will twist some purist's undies though.

Yeah.

At first was ?really?? but when I was growing up, I?m pretty sure they didn?t have ?MICHIGAN? painted in yellow letters like in recent years.

Truth be told, if not for this thread I likely wouldn?t have even noticed.

I feel like that's how it always should have been.


Looks good in mockups.

At this point, I wouldn't care if the endzones were swimming pools.

Just fucking win.

UNLESS it makes receivers at all more difficult to spot, say peripherally or while you're quickly scanning the field. If there's any reason to believe there's a situation where it impacts play negatively, I'd be against it. But I expect the coaches would be all over this if it was a factor.

Ohh I didnt think of that. Blue uniforms and a blue endzone. I actually think it may hurt the defenders more than our QB. Kind of like when teams complained because Boise would wear blue uniforms that matched their field.

Any chance it can help our non-existent left and right tackles?

This is no laughing matter. Visibility and contrast is why we have winged helmets.

It might make receivers more difficult to spot if the QB is overhead, looking down at them.

maybe while riding in teh Goodyear Blimp?

Or if you're around the 5 yard line.

Looks like the Rose Bowl endzones; more than fine with them and think all the GETOFFMYLAWN types on this topic are just unhappy people in general.

so a friend of mine just texted me and another friend a pic of the blue end zones, and wrote "Go Blue!"

So I says to him, I says "I just read some guy online complaining these will make it too hard for our QB to see our receivers."

and he wrote back and says "Lol then Boise State would never win at home"

Good point, huh?

Yes.


Typically the end zones in most bowls games that I've seen are the colors of the two participants, and it's never looked to me that any receivers have vanished from TV screen when they go into the end zone.

It would seem to me that a quarterback would continue to see his receivers against the background of the end zone crowd, not the end zone itself.

I've already made it clear that I think this is a small or non-factor, not something that would cause a team to lose all home games. BUT, for the sake of argument, I don't think Boise State would be a good indicator anyway because they rarely or never play tough teams at home.

Y'all must be used to camera shots from 2 ft off the ground. The effect is worse looking across the field too. If there's an open guy standing on the one or two yard line on the far side of the field, you're going to see his jersey against a backdrop of endzone.

good thing our home uniforms aren't all blue...
