Arizona Cardinals Alternate Jersey Predictions

PrintWhen the Arizona Cardinals revealed their new alternate jerseys at their draft party last Thursday, there was so much excitement surrounding the draft that we weren't able to discuss them. Now that the draft-dust has settled(somewhat), we can take a look.
Well I looked, and I for one, like the jerseys. I've always hoped they'd bring in a new alternate jersey - black specifically. The reveal turned out exactly as I imagined. I hoped they'd do something different with the helmet but NFL rules won't allow it unless they are throwback helmets. Do they look like the Atlanta Falcons' jerseys? Slightly. When it comes down to it, they will be wearing a white helmet and white pants with the jersey and that will be the difference. Then there's the rule that they can only wear them three times during the year(once in preseason, twice in regular). I thought I'd take a few stabs as to when they'd wear them:
- Preseason Week 2 vs Tennessee Titans - The only issue I have with this is that it's on the road and these should be home jersey's. Other then that, it's a primetime MNF game and would make sense as their first appearance. If not this game then the preseason opener at home against the Texans.
- Regular Season Week 5 vs New Orleans Saints - This would be the first real opportunity for the Cardinals to wear the new jerseys. The atmosphere will be intense with the defending Super Bowl champs attending. The Cardinals would like to get revenge - no pun intended.
- Regular Season Week 12 vs San Francisco 49ers - The last time we'll see the jerseys will be on the Monday Night Football stage against the division rival 49ers. These games are always dog fights and will be the first meeting between the two teams.
The only other game that has a chance would be against the Cowboys on Christmas, but I'm thinking the front office knows that fans will be anxious to see the jerseys and won't wait until week 12. When do you believe the Cardinals will wear the jerseys and what are your overall thoughts on them?

I could see the home opener against the Raider being a possibility.
Especially if we don’t wear them at home during the preseason. Although the Cards know anticipation and excitement will be building each and every week they don’t wear them and they will need every ounce of that when we play the Saints in week 5.
I think you’ll end up being right about the games they choose to wear them.
I think if they wear them against the Raiders it might be hard to tell them apart.
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

The Raiders away is pretty bland
Gray pants, white jersey, right? Think the Saints away has more black in it than theirs.
I Agree
with your pick of games. The Saints game and the Niners MNF game would be the time to break out the jersey. I love the new jerseys but I wish we could’ve done black pants as well. As with most, I wish the rules would’ve allowed for us to do black helmets as well. Still, this is a great jersey addition and I look forward to seeing it on the field.
Saints and Niners are the most likely choices.
For the pre-season game it will either be the Texans or Redskins though. Those are home game jerseys and the home crowd is who wants to see them anyway. On the 50/50 I’m going with the Redskins, last game of the pre-season.
The last game tends to be the most boring game considering the starters usually play 1 series
See the Broncos game last year. If it’s not the Titans game it will be the Texans.

The
games that I could see the new jersey being worn is the Texans pre-season for a debut, Monday night against the 49ers, and the Christmas game against the Cowboys.
Unbelieveable
They look like the Falcons …Freakin ugly. So Black jersey with white pants ridiculous.
I would be surprised is they wait for the Cowboys Christmas game.
I think the idea would be to show them off before Christmas so that all the kids have time to add them to their Christmas wishlist. I’ll admit, as a Seahawk fan I do like them a lot better than our gak colored alternates that were unveiled last year. Mora promised that they were retired, so I hope Carroll honors that promise.

Yeah, those were awful.
Black on christmas? Don’t think so. Not very festive. You probably make the best point though.
Agree
Can’t see them waiting till Christmas

Jersey's look great
I guess my only comment for those that don’t like them and I mean this sincerely….what would you like them to look like? The only thing I can think of is the gray version that you sometimes see people wearing…
Those are terrible

I would have prefered black jerseys with red numbers and white trim
rather than black with white numbers and red trim. Since they can’t change the helmet going with white is understandable. I don’t dislike them. I just don’t think black and white has the same pop that black and red would. I could care less if they resemble the Falcons’ or anyone else’s jerseys. Black and red with red pants, black stripe or black and red with black pants, red stripe. Either of those I would have liked better. A black helmet with red cardinal would have looked sharp too, but oh well, not happening. As it stands, I like the all red uniform the best.
Yeah I like that one a lot too
Based on last year we’ll probably see it at most home games.

I guess they want us tyo bring back the red ones from the 90....
I like the current jerseys, I like the old ones, and I like the new alternates.
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.
I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.
I am a fan of the red and white, these Falcons jerseys do not excite me.
“I think if they wear them against the Raiders it might be hard to tell them apart”
Oakland will be required to wear white if they do
13- Warner, 23- Sandberg, 40- Tillman, 11- Walter
Good point
Forgot about that.
