HORRIBLE STRIPELESS MONOCHROME PANTS

Why do these teams use these IDIOT ideas when they ALREADY have classic, classy, sensible regular uniforms ….

The Saints too often TORMENT us with their thuggish, classless, black leotards …

I had hoped the Browns’ braintrust would know better

What makes the Saints’ uniforms “thuggish”?

“We wear black. We’re tough guys. Grrrr…. Intimidated now, aren’t ya.”

It’s just getting old because everyone seems to be doing it and thinking they being SO orginal…when it’s really nothing more than getting on the “Must Wear Dark and Look Like Scary Ninjas” Bandwagon.
