Jaguars Switching To Black Uniforms?

PrintThe Jacksonville Jaguars were going to re-introduce the alternate black uniforms during the 2012 NFL season. Or at least, that's what we thought they were going to do with the black uniforms. According to Jaguars owner Shad Khan on The Mike Dempsey Show on 1010XL, black will be the Jaguars new primary color.
Shad Khan just told me that the Jaguars will be switching to all-black uniforms and that teal will become the third / alternate color.
— Mike Dempsey (@md_1010xl) February 3, 2012
The Jaguars primary will be black, the secondary will be white and black, and the third alternate jersey will now be the teal color. Fans have long wanted the black jerseys to make a comeback after they were discontinued in the 2010 2009 season with the new Reebok jerseys. Black now will become the primary color but there will also be a complete uniform change in the 2013 season with Nike. The Jaguars are going to be the flagship for Nike's new uniforms and the first NFL team with completely new Nike uniforms.
Now... who I do I have to talk to to get a matte black helmet...?

there pobably will be teal alternates but Black is still going to be are primary Color now which is so cool
Black uniforms are so Awesome
What does this mean?
“The Jaguars are going to be the flagship for Nike’s new uniforms and the first NFL team with completely new Nike uniforms.”
Isn’t the whole NFL getting new Nike uniforms in 2013? What makes it better that the Jags are first? Kinda lost, not sure how that process works.
It means...
The NFL unis you see in ‘12 are essentially just Nike’s fabric with the “swoosh” slapped on. No team will be seen in any sort of new threads next season.
In ’13, the Jags will be the first to use EXCLUSIVE Nike designs for their unis. (Think Oregon) Which from a national marketing side, is tremendous news for Jax.
Every team gets Nike uniforms in 2012
But that doesn’t mean they will change their current look.
Jaguars will be first team to be completely all Nike (materials, looks, etc)
I hope there not all black
Black on black is too much I hope we have white pants

I like the black unis are back
but I don’t like that every year there is a new philosophy with the jersey. That won’t help to establish the team’s identtity. (I’m happy about the Nike stuff).

He said there would be a change, but not something so crazy, as to not get away from the teams history. Sounds like they are just going to tweak the primary disign a bit. Definately not out of the ordinary when a new designer takes over. Dont think they want to get too far away from the brand. Lets face it Zoltan this team doesnt have too much of an identity outside of JAX. Except for the sect of awesome fans like yourself!
What about the teal? Making it the third option seems like we are getting away from our signature color.
by JagSoldier on Feb 3, 2012 5:28 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
If im not mistaken..he said it would be incorporated into the white and black. Then would be the 3rd alternate jersey. Lets face it and im old school, and just old now. I have been down at Alltel/Everbank since the inception. If thins is the re-birth then lets modify it. Not to bag on the color teal, but if im trying to makeover a franchise that has lost some fanbase. Then im bringing something new into the ORG. This guy isnt worrying about semantics with the faithful. He is trying to appeal to the new base that hasnt been tapped yet. WE ARE JAGUARS 2.0!
There has to be a fine line.
I’d admit in a heartbeat that fans like me aren’t worth anything when compared to fans who have held season tickets since the inception. And now Khan’s statement about “true fans” makes that much more sense to me. Thank you for your comment.
Rhett was right!

Khan is seriously going to make us America's team.
lol Just kidding. No, but forreals. This is awesome. Has there ever been this much excitement around the Jaguars 2 days before the Super Bowl?
We haven't worn black jerseys since the Colts MNF game in 2007.
Nothing to do with 2010.
Follow me on twitter: @Kevin_Hine
They were officially discontinued in 2010 with the Reebok change. So yes, it has something to do with 2010.
And when we unveiled our current uniforms in April of 2009, Mr. Weaver said we weren’t going to have a black alternate jersey as a part of our new look. That was 2009.
Follow me on twitter: @Kevin_Hine
Again, it doesn’t matter when they were last worn. They were still an option. As of 2010 2009 they NO LONGER became an option. They became discontinued. The last time they were worn is irrelevant to the overall point I made.
Sometimes msg brd pissing contests are funny.
Sadly, this is not one of those times.
Congratulations on both making your respective points repeatedly.
Love the idea of the matte black helmets.

If a black uni gets you excited, then good for you I don't care...
what gets me excited is a winning team.
the single greatest decision in franchise history
Ok maybe not but We all know the black unis were legit and top 5 in the league IMO now we are rocking them every game. Like the chargers going back to the powder blues and the bills going back to their old unis this will be nothing but good for the jags! Awesome

so just to be clear
were talking about the start of next season right?
btw F****kin awesome!
now i can unretire use my black freddy-t jersey
and hows about a hyper-black helmet instead
Yeah, let's get rid of that Teal that made our uniform unique...
And go with black. Because no one’s done that before…
Except the Raiders…
and the Saints…
and the Panthers…
and the Lions alternate uniform…
and the Cardinals’ alternates (which look terrible btw)…
and the 49ers alternates…
It really doesn’t matter in the longrun, but teal was kind of our thing and black is kind of… unoriginal.

They’re not getting rid of teal.
by Alfie Crow on Feb 3, 2012 5:04 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I thought the same thing.
I have no problem with the black uniforms but to make teal the last option is not the best move IMO. The teal is our identity and it should come first.
Regardless I really liked the Teal, I didn’t care that people said it wasn’t cool or it was girly…wearing all black might be cool, but I’m still wearing my teal chucks
by Randall1178 on Feb 3, 2012 4:54 PM EST via Android app reply actions
Yep. Teal is different; I've always liked it.
A lot of NFL uni’s look very similar at first glance, including my Texans’. The Jags’ uni’s are distinctive with that color.

I wonder how long it will take for people to make a joke about blackouts and black uniforms.
You can't reason with unreasonable people.
If you ain't first, you're last.
Ha!
As long as we win, I couldn’t care less.
You can't reason with unreasonable people.
If you ain't first, you're last.
That is why Weaver dropped it, Khan doesn't care.

About time
The black will look fierce and will have an identity. Right now the white unis are boring and the teal ones are just awful. The 90’s are over and so should this teal color. Hopefully Khan will soon change this ridiculous teal color with something else as well.
by nationalmediacansuckit on Feb 3, 2012 5:02 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I like it but...
I agree let’s keep the teal as at least the secondary color. Aslo said on another post, it would be awesome to be the Oregon ducks of the nfl. ……… Guess I’ll have to paint my jag room black instead of teal hahah.

so we're really gonna be wearing all black in sept?
don’t get me wrong i wanted all black, but idk about wearing them at home in sept and seeing a guy like pot roast collapse on the field…
The effect of that is minimal, honestly. Teams that aren’t used to the heat definitely feel the effects more, but it’s really not that much of an advantage.
so just to clarify
we will see the all black uniforms this coming season, but not as the main home uniform?
Getting rid of Teal?
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of, lets just get rid of the only thing that set us apart in the NFL

by TheTealDeal on Feb 3, 2012 6:50 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Do we really think building a new image should involve eliminating the old one?
I sorry guys, teal is and should remain our primary color. This team was born to this league in teal and had some tremendous moments in teal. We can’t base an image redo on the past 9 years of ineptibility. It’s throwing out the baby with the bath water!
Our image (and colors!) were fine in the Mark Brunell, Jimmy Smith, Tony Boselli, Fred Taylor era. Black is so 1970’s, Al Davis, Oakland Raider, collection of punks and outcasts. Black to me is the village idiot spiking his hair and dressing in all black to be a wanabe badass! Or worse Gothic, no thanks! I like the teal!
by TCJagsFan on Feb 3, 2012 6:53 PM EST via mobile reply actions 1 recs
I like all black
But they have to wear teal for most games. Thats the tradition Weaver was talking about. They wore teal when they best the Broncos in 1996 and should wear them when they beat the Colts twice next year.
All white annoyed the heck out of me

So gold is still out of the picture in the uniforms?
And we are going to mainly be wearing all black next year?
Good, let's be real, teal sucks
Though I do love saying “Fear the Teal” because all of my friends get a kick out of it bc it’s such poos color. Anyone who wants teal as a color over black should have their Jag fan card removed.
Did Bucs fans say “nah, the creamsickle orange is ours, wah, don’t change it to that badass charcoal grey. Creamsickles guys!”
This owner of ours is shrewd…
Teal is more original than black. And its been our identity and it’s the color of the seats in the stadium.
How original is it, though? It was a trendy color in the 90’s, which is why virtually every expansion team in every sport’s main color was teal.
That's like what 4 teams?
And 2 teams in the NFL. It’s a part of our history, and brings us back to our roots as a team founded in the 90s. We need to establish traditions here in Jacksonville not just change with the wind.
That is a great way to look at it.
And people need to quit acting like it has been ELIMINATED, teal is still here.

If the uni's look like that, then I will puke
I like the all black as long as it has teal accents in the uniform. We don’t need to put the jag print on the jersey though. They would never sell another jersey haha.
I like like them
minus the jag print. But if they really want the jag print they should barrow a little from the panther, which is basically a black jag(Depending on where you are). 
I'd steer away from any animal print.
I’d rather they incorporate flannel over animal print. I like the black with teal accent idea. I’d like to see a little gold infusion, even if on a subtle level. Not the mustard yellow either, that is not gold. I’m thinking gold foil like the Saints.
Flat black for the helmets also sounds cool.

i REALLY don't like the helmet logo

If We
Get a helmet change, either to matte black or like teal, I’ll bust a nut in my pants. That would be so sick.
I’m stoked to see what these unis are gonna look like.

I just want to see
the finished product. Gabbert may or may not be the QB of the future(5 years from now), but it would be pretty cool to see him and MJD lined up in the backfield on Monday night football in the new uniforms.
that would be super cool

…teal was our color, but what jaguar is teal? Jags are black, and I like this…I was right.

I’m sorry but I absolutely hate this move. I’m a huge fan of the Teal and I do not like it becoming the third color option.

At least make the helmet Teal with the old logo on it.
by Catfanatic1979v1 on Feb 3, 2012 11:38 PM EST reply actions
Maybe...
Update the helmet to look as if the Jags logo is engraved into matte black finished helmet, revealing gold beneath the surface. Perhaps doing away with the teal tongue and white bits. Use the jersey to infuse the teal and white accents.
Picture the helmet, simply flat back carved with a logo to reveal a shining gold interior.

By the "old logo" do you mean...
the Jaguar car company looking one we never used, right?

No I’m assuming there will be a different logo to go with color change and it hasn’t been shown. I’m referring to our current logo as the “old” one.
