The Philadelphia Eagles’ black alternates are stupid. There’s a lot that’s stupid about the Eagles, and I recognize the risk of making that statement when they’re 10-1 and their faithful lurk around every corner with a thought to share, but one cannot ignore the truth.

With the kelly green of yesteryear just sitting in the closet instead of a basis for an alternate, it is simply unacceptable. Choosing to use black in any fashion, if not part of a team’s color scheme, is lazy, boring, and appeals to people who don’t get the point of The Punisher.

Same goes for Team Canada. Sunday was a good day to see teams that have no business wearing black. It’s probably why Canada got their shit kicked in by Croatia. Canada’s hockey teams do this on the reg, too, wear black. Black never appears in the Canadian flag. If the hockey team wants to wear black it can do so when it mourns the dissolution of Hockey Canada. Except that won’t be a sorrowful event, so that’s out, too. If they want to wear black to mourn all the survivors Hockey Canada has silenced or ignored or allowed to be victims in the first place by others who have worn the Canada jersey, that might be closer to the point.

We live in the era of 4K TV. Colors should pop and fizz. Look at how a game between the Chargers and Chiefs sizzles off the screen. The era of everyone wanting to look like they work for Blackwater is over. Take the five minutes of thought and come up with something better.

Here’s a list of teams that can wear black in their main unis or in an alternate, because black is part of their original color scheme:

Boston Bruins
Ottawa Senators
New Jersey Devils — but only kinda because they should go back to the Christmas tree scheme
Pittsburgh Penguins
Philadelphia Flyers — but don’t ever when orange is always an option
The LA Kings — are also barred because they need to go back to purple and gold
Brooklyn Nets — but only because no one cares
Chicago Bulls
Miami Heat — but only because no one cares
Portland Trail Blazers
San Antonio Spurs
Las Vegas Raiders
Cincinnati Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers
Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers — only because no one cares
Chicago White Sox

That’s it. That’s the list. If you’re not on it, come up with something better and live a little.

Agreed.  Wearing Black is stupid if it isn't part of your original team/school colors. And that goes for college and high school as well.
