The Official "I Hate the Yellow Cleats" thread

[Fathead]

Landry's shoes. Every time he walks on to my screen I think there is a flag.

I agree and it happened to me once yesterday, but I am going to edit the title of the thread b/c it is misleading....

[Keino]

I can't get on board with this. I like that Black and Yellow Cleats a lot of the guys are wearing....

[csquared]

Yea somebodies cleats fooled me as well. I was like "not another flag!" But it was just those dumb ugly cleats.

[InsomniaKiller]

They can definitely look like flags sometimes but I love the way they look. Portis looks especially bad@$$ in 'em, IMHO.

Same here-but I like the shoes............

[cal_junior]

Anybody got a good picture? I'll admit not noticing them during the game.

[remaxjon]

If the cleats are yellow I now hate them but I thought they were gold.

I'm all about gold

[Cutter]

The shoes get me too. I've thought there have been flags in all phases of the game as they streak by on the TV.

[greatest2]

i like it. i think portis started this. anyway, they do look like flags, but when they start moving you know they aren't.

[Fathead]

The problem is that a guy will run up to assist on a tackle, then stop for a second. That stop after movement makes it look like a flag, especially since you aren't focusing on that player.


I get a heart attack everytime expecting a 15 yard face mask or something.

[guess88]

i dink dey hot. no flag crisis here.

[InsomniaKiller]

i agree

Haha, true. With the visor and the cleats, he has a very "cyborg" look in the backfield.

Like a slightly better-dancing version of that Fox robot they show every commercial break.

[Biggie]

Make them gold and we'd be good. They're the exact same color as flags, and I'm getting tired of thinking there's a flag down on every other play.

[InsomniaKiller]

Best pictures I could find are from last year. I'm assuming they're the same or very similar to the ones currently being worn.

Kinda surprised anybody could not notice 'em! They definitely stand out on the field.

They match the pants and helmets perfectly. We don't want our uniforms to clash. We're not the Cowboys over here. We keep it classy.

I'm just saying, they're confusing.

This is true.

BUT WE DON'T @#$@IN' CLASH IN WASHINGTON!!! :)

Can we start an official "I Hate the Fox Robot" thread? 'Cause I flippin' hate that thing.

As for the cleats, I like 'em. Not once did I confuse them with a penalty flag. :whoknows:

[skinsfan36]

i like them but did once think there was a flag lol

Nah these aren't the same ones. The ones now have a complete yellow toe.

[guess88]

x3. Merely on the premise that he looks like he should and could do something coo, but doesn't. He just bounces a few times and points. My little nephew can do that. I wanna see helmet smashing, rockets emerging from the shoulders, anything remotely cool that's associated with robots and destruction. This robot is nothing but a tease.

[smoak]

I'm surprised this thread is 2 pages long and happy that I wasn't the only one to mistake cleats for a flag yesterday.

Wait, I thought this thread was about Landry's shoes. Why the pics of Portis? Are they wearing the same shoes?

[csquared]

Look at my link...

[cal_junior]

Look at my link...

That's Portis as well.

[InsomniaKiller]

Portis and Landry both have the yellow shoe thing going on. I think Smoot does, too, maybe? Or is it Rogers?

Anyway, let me try to find s picture of them this year.

Here's one of Portis from yesterday. Still looking for Landry. . .

Jason Campbell was wearing them yesterday, too! I didn't catch that one.

Last week it was doing a very ridiculous electric slide.

[rskinsfan10]

I could give a damn what color they are as long as they are winning!My sentiments as well. I personally love the look.

[smoak]

Wear a pink tutu if you want, but win the division, conference, and super bowl.

I like JC's fall color selections

[greatest2]

[colkurtz]

I do - i took a bunch of pics yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't know how to publish them on this site [sorry to be such a computer Luddite] . If someone tells me how to do it I'll get one to you.

Anyway, I like the shoes. Bet they'll sell them by the thousands as the season goes on....

[MPCSkins]

It's a good sign when we're 5 games into the season and our threads are complaining about cleats. That means we don't have anything else to complain about. I love it!

[esmith1790]

Our uniforms are so unique, there is a long list of items that we do that no other team does or have ever done, when it comes to UNIs.

The RED on the skins is a great look!
