The NFL appears ready to make a change for Thursday Night Football. According to Fox Sports’ Bill Wanger, teams will no longer wear the much-hated “color rush” uniforms on Thursday Night Football this season.
The color rush uniforms made their official debut in 2015. A Thursday night match-up between the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills featured green and red uniforms respectively, an unfortunate combination. Not only did people complain about the match-ups on Thursday night, now they were annoyed about the colors.
Bill Wanger of FOX Sports says alternate uniforms on Thursday Night Football are going away. Hardcore fans don’t need gimmicks to watch. The game schedule will also be stronger. #NABShow

Like usual, fans had more to say about the jerseys being removed from TNF.
Forcing football players to play just 4 days after a Sunday game will keep the TNF schedule from being "strong" or "stronger" no matter what.

I was thinking about this not too long ago. Two BYE weeks makes a lot of sense. Plus that means more weeks of TV revenue and more NFL weeks for fans. Win win for everyone.

I've always wanted Throwback Thursday. That would be amazing! The NFL could also sell tons of throwback merch!

No Thursday Night Football is the only way to strengthen the schedule.

As long as there’s gambling and fantasy football, Thursday Night games are here to stay. The NFL is a business, and a multi billion dollar one, so there goal is always to make more money. If they can broadcast any more games they would. I’m all for more nights to watch football, but at least keep the jersey colors manageable.
