Jaguars - Titans: Breaking News - The NFL's 'Color Rush' Uniforms Are Still Ugly As Sin
By Matt Dolloff (@mattdolloff)
BOSTON (CBS) -- It's bad enough that Thursday Night Football trotted out two of the league's least talented teams in the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars. It only gets worse when they wear two of the ugliest uniforms the NFL ever seriously made on purpose.
On the bright side, the latest "Color Rush" uniforms were baby blue and mustard yellow so the NFL avoided a gross oversight for colorblind fans. But the uniforms, especially Jacksonville's, were polarizing at best. And as is tradition, repulsed fans voiced their no-holds-barred disgust on Twitter.
Dear NFL: Enough already with these uniforms. Stop it. Please.

Warning: This next section is not for the squeamish. Why, you ask? Because there was plenty of talk about poop and vomit - mostly from babies - when fans saw the uniforms.
Thanks to the #Jaguars uniforms tonight, I now know what it would look like if a uniform vomited on itself. #TNF

Did someone throw up mustard on the #jags uniforms? #nflcolorrush

My wife just said "The Jaguars uniforms look like a sick baby's poop". I'm curious who actually thought these uniforms were a good idea.

As a father of four, I can say with confidence that the Jaguars uniforms are the colour of baby poop.

#Titans uniforms look like Smurphs puked all over them. #Jaguars unis look like everyone puked all over them. Twice.

The uniforms made a lot of people feel queasy, but others were just hungry.
The Titans uniforms have me craving laffy taffy.

Barstool Sports' Big Cat was awesomely contrarian about it.
These uniforms just took this game from "cant miss" to "game of the Century"

And others just made some good, solid points.
Those Jacksonville Jaguars uniforms are the Jacksonville Jaguars of uniforms.

Although so many fans roasted the Jaguars, Titans, and the league for the uniforms, there were plenty of tweeps like this guy who didn't think they were so bad.

I actually don't mind the baby blue Titans uniforms. Just don't make the Patriots do something like this. Please.
The most mind-blowing thing about that game? One of those teams could be AFC South champions. And host a playoff game. Yeah.
