A little checking shows what the NFL/Nike are looking to create with the Rivalry Uniforms -
Rivalries will drive fan engagement by celebrating storied traditions and uniting communities with unique and elevated product designs.
"The NFL is home to some of the biggest football rivalries and today marks a historical moment for the NFL as we share 'Rivalries' with the world," said Renie Anderson, chief revenue officer at the NFL. "Together with Nike, we are harnessing the power of rivalry matchups to bring fan excitement and community pride to the next level. Through specially designed player uniforms and limited-edition fan gear, we will embark on a journey that inspires competitive spirit and reveals the winner in all of us."
So, given the emphasis on 'communities' & 'unique' - perhaps and alternative to the usual colours is exactly what the NFL is looking for?
FWIW - there are no 'stupid' colours, only people stupid enough to think that a colour or set of colours defines them!
