I am surprised that the league would allow that.  Then again, I am surprised the league allows this:

Thanks.  I needed this today

KC being home team has choice of jersey colors. If opponents are doing that then they should just wear white jerseys,

Then the opposing team would wear white gloves. They announce what jerseys they’re wearing earlier in the week. Teams would just switch colors.

You and others are right.  NFL should require neon green gloves for all players.  They won't because they really do not care about getting calls right.

Smart gamesmanship if you ask me, certainly look for the NFL to ban that going forward next season!

Ernie Adams used to watch games each week and record tendencies of each zebra. 

For each game they played he generate profile of zebras assigned to game and tell players what boundary on fouls were on crew.

They would even have walkthroughs on calls.

 

One of my coworkers in 2012 used to be a player for Cheats (among other teams) mostly on practice squad but was on 53 a few times.

 

I asked if they was any betting using knowledge he gathered and he said not that he knew but Ernie being no longer bound by NFL rules is probably rich now.

If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. 

 

 

I wasn't cutting off the sleeves of my only jersey every year; that's what the rubber bands were for.

And if you want a picture of my ass, just ask.

you are the mod so I defer but I think the poli board is where people show their ass?

I thought I recall this becoming a thing a decade or so ago, and what was decided was that you could wear colored gloves as long as it's part of your team's color scheme. The Bills, being red and blue are within their rights to wear red gloves. Sucks for KC that they have nothing in their scheme to match up with the Bills blue jerseys.

 

Denver for instance in this game right now, with an orange and navy scheme, I don't think they're allowed to wear powder blue gloves to try to hide the hands against the Lions, but they can (and are) wearing the navy which is as close as they can get.

Yup and if you look at the Lions O, all their hands/gloves are white to blend in with the bronco jerseys. 
 

Makes me wonder if our uniform selections are based on what colors the opposing team cannot match. 🤔
 

Or maybe that’s part of the home field advantage. Most away uniforms are white, and everyone can wear white gloves. So when you’re away, they can always match your uniform 🤔🤔🤔

as I wrote it, I was thinking about the color rush and how in those games, all gloves are contrasting colors. 

 

Looked dreadful but was more competitively neutral lol.

The patriots have done this for years.

Dear NFL officials,

     As a concerned citizen looking out for the best for the league's fairness, I wish to document and report incidents of holding due to players wearing gloves the same colour as the opponents' jerseys.  Please do look into this.

Yours truly,

Phil Melichick,

Anytown, Massachusetts 

PS  I may be moving to California soon.

 

That last line 💀
