NFL Uniforms: Best combination each team wore in 2019
By Zach Cohen
Best NFC North uniforms
Chicago Bears: Orange Jerseys
The “burnt orange” jerseys are a cool, unique look that shies away from the simple look of their regular uniforms. I have no issues with the Bears’ set of uniforms, but these jerseys add some diversity to a classic look.
The jersey was worn only once in 2019 and white pants accompanied it. The white bottoms kind of offset the glow of the orange, making it just the right amount in the overall uniform. Also, you have to love the striped socks.
Detroit Lions: White Jerseys, Blue Pants
I’m kind of straying from my general philosophies with this one because I think Detroit’s other uniforms all have nagging issues. The “Honolulu blue” jerseys would look nice, if the coloring of the numbers wasn’t so strange. Why go with two shades of silver when you could use white?
Anyway, I prefer the blue pants to the silver pants because silver is too light of a color to pair with a white jersey, in my opinion. The blue pants add some flare.
Green Bay Packers: Home Greens
Another iconic team with little variety to choose from, and again, that’s not a bad thing. My vendetta against most white jerseys is that anyone can do it. This shade of green is so distinct to Green Bay; everyone knows green and yellow is the Packers’ colors. That’s the reason I’m sticking with the green jerseys here, though the white ones are not far behind.
Minnesota Vikings: Purple Color Rush
This comes down to the added use of gold (which seems more like yellow) in the uniforms. The most notable change from their normal purple jerseys is that the numbers are gold. The gold contrasts very nicely against the purple backdrop, especially on the pants. Considering it’s a Color Rush uniform, this look only works with purple pants so that the yellow isn’t contradicted by too much white.
