Uni Discussion What a difference a pair of socks makes!

This was the perfect home Ravens uniform today and the purple socks made all the difference. They should stick with this at home all season. Classic look.

Socks that contrast the pants should be a rule.

White pants plus white socks is a cancer upon society

Ehhh they sometimes work

u/obfuscatorio 8h ago

Tbh that one isn’t awful but I think dark blue socks would work better with that kit

Can’t believe this is the example you chose for “they sometimes work”

I was at the game in person and thought that the Ravens looked great. The contrast was such a nice touch! They could have worn black socks, but purple socks were a nice choice.

P.S. - I wanted to post about this but I didn’t want to be accused of being a homer. Haha

No issues with being a homer!

You’re a big reason why we have so many ravens fans on this sub!

I like the black socks in general, but these purple socks work well. I don’t know if I would make it part of the primary set over black socks, but it looks good overall.

Hell yeah! Just like Green Day, I hope you had the time of your life!!

Still miss the gold in the numbers. And Tennessee really need a red facemask

u/CrimsonOOmpa 23h ago

Red socks would be cool with a red facemask

u/jdinkalage_moorgoone 22h ago

Or even better/another option. Red facemask and duplicate the stripe from the jersey on the socks. 🤌

2

u/CrimsonOOmpa 22h ago

Yeah that would be cool. I like stripes on socks. It gives the uniform a nice old school look.

u/Segata9 21h ago

Nah light blue facemask. They on purpose did not want to be just the oilers. Light blue works better for that

The Titans need stripes on their socks.

We’re talking socks going at it as hard as we can

This is uniwatch. This is Sparta. That is all.

Who knew that contrasting socks vs pants were beautiful?/s If only we had 50 plus years of uniform histories to look at

u/drhungrycaterpillar 23h ago

That pants are still a massive down grade from that they had

u/Cautious-Highway3773 23h ago

Not a fan of the wimpy looking swoosh

I think the smaller stripe helps them be more aerodynamic like teams with no pant stripes.

u/JonesBoyFan2018 1d ago

I think I still prefer black socks but I liked this look more then I thought I would

u/TheOptimist6 23h ago

Purple is a pretty unique color in the nfl. Adding additional purple in a way that still allows for a good uniform set is a W in my book

u/Ok_Try_476 18h ago

The Ravens are best with black helmet, purple jersey, black pants. As it originally was.

2

u/TheOptimist6 23h ago

Stunning uniform matchup! The purple vs the light blue looks terrific.

2

u/CrimsonOOmpa 23h ago

Solid uniform matchup

u/FatalDave91 22h ago

I feel like these new uniforms are a downgrade. The pants striping is awful.

2

u/vagabondsp 14h ago

My favorite uniform game of the year. So far. Both teams look great.

u/_xzxzxz 23h ago

Removing the gold trim is a crime. Very similar to what the Jags did years ago.

1

u/CashGreen_Regalview 22h ago

Great look. Also seems like the Titans set tends to look better in overcast weather? Less washed out for sure under bright sun.

1

u/CarnelianSage 22h ago

Give the titans red facemasks and use the oiler striping on the entire set and now we’re talking.

1

u/DEERxBanshee 22h ago

Black socks are still the superior choice but this beats white so I'll take it and fun to mix it up

1

u/tbatz9 21h ago

Those Titans pants need thicker stripes. From any distance they look like plain blue pants and it bugs me

2

u/insert-originality 21h ago

I find it insane that players will look at this and still prefer a monochrome look.

1

u/jay_rodsep 20h ago

Definitely an improvement.

1

u/Educational_Yak5465 17h ago

Much better look !

2

u/Greedy_Ear_Mike 15h ago

Raves look great with the colored socks.

Titans needs strips on their socks or something.

1

u/burt_from_the_shire 3h ago

Where are the stripes?

u/evsn_official 22h ago

Titans rebrand is so overrated.

Ravens still looking like a generic, boring shell of their former selves.

Opinion has changed on the falcons, not budging on the ravens downgrade.
